International Rectifier, IR® (NYSE: IRF), a world leader in
power management technology, today introduced a rugged, reliable
ultra-fast 1400V Trench Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)
optimized for soft switching applications including induction cooktops
and microwave ovens.
Co-packaged with an ultra-low forward voltage diode, the IRG7PK35UD1PbF
utilizes IR’s Gen7 thin-wafer trench technology to deliver extremely low
VCE(ON) and ultra-fast switching to offer superior conduction
and switching losses for high system efficiency in induction heating
applications. Expanding the voltage range of the device to 1400V enables
the design of higher power single-ended parallel resonant power
converters and offers additional guard band for more robust designs.
“Leveraging IR’s 1400V Trench Gate, Field Stop technology, the
IRG7PK35UD1PbF is optimized for lowest conduction and switching losses
and enhanced system reliability in induction heating and soft switching
applications,” said Llewellyn Vaughan-Edmunds, IGBT Product Marketing
Manager, IR’s Energy Saving Products Business Unit.
The IRG7PK35UD1PbF expands IR’s proven family of IGBTs for
soft-switching applications to 1400V, extending the power range of
induction heating systems. IR’s focus on power applications allows for
optimization of devices to meet the technical requirements of various
power systems.
