To accommodate the optimum part selection, the designers have a choice in selecting among three sub-classes symbolized A3, B3 and C3. These classifications provide advance system design flexibility and opportunity for the designers to reach the best compromise between critical needs like switching frequency, efficiency and cost. Co-packed variants of these new devices are available with company’s HiPerFRED (suffix D1) and SONIC-FRD (suffix H1), ultra-fast recovery diodes offering exceptional fast recovery and soft switching characteristics. Additional product attributes incorporate avalanche capabilities and a square reverse bias safe operating area, enabling the device to safely switch in a snubberless hard switching application.
Various high voltage applications stand to benefit from new power handling and efficiency advantages of this IGBTs family. List of possible applications incorporate solar inverters, automatic voltage regulators, industrial battery chargers, wind turbine inverters, capacitor discharge circuits, electronic circuit breakers, resonant power conversion circuits, induction heating for industrial processing, uninterruptible power supplies, motor drives, switch-mode power supplies, power factor correction circuits and welding machines.
