Infineon IKW30N65WR5: A High-Performance 650V TRENCHSTOP™ 5 IGBT for Switching Applications
In the realm of power electronics, efficiency, reliability, and thermal performance are paramount. Addressing these critical demands, the Infineon IKW30N65WR5 stands out as a premier 650V IGBT built upon the advanced TRENCHSTOP™ 5 technology. This device is engineered specifically for high-frequency switching applications, offering a superior balance between low saturation voltage and minimal switching losses.
A key feature of this IGBT is its optimized trench gate field-stop structure. This design drastically reduces VCE(sat), leading to significantly lower conduction losses. For systems designers, this translates into higher efficiency and reduced power dissipation, which is crucial for improving the overall performance of power conversion units. Furthermore, the device exhibits exceptionally soft switching behavior, which minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and simplifies the design of filtering circuits. This makes it an ideal choice for applications operating in noise-sensitive environments.
The robust and controllable diode integrated into the co-packaged emitter-controlled diode ensures safe and reliable operation during reverse recovery. This feature is vital for circuits like power factor correction (PFC) and motor drives, where freewheeling is common. The module also boasts a high maximum junction temperature (Tvjop max) of 175°C, enhancing its capability to handle overload conditions and providing designers with greater margin for thermal management.
Housed in a TO-247 package, the IKW30N65WR5 offers excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical stability. Its high current capability of 30A makes it suitable for a wide array of medium-power applications, including:
Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
Solar Inverters and UPS Systems
Industrial Motor Drives and Controls
Welding Equipment
ICGOOFind: The Infineon IKW30N65WR5 is a top-tier IGBT that masterfully combines high efficiency, thermal robustness, and soft switching performance. It is a compelling solution for designers aiming to push the boundaries of power density and reliability in modern switching applications.
