Infineon IGO60R070D1: A High-Performance 600V Single IGBT for Switching Applications

The demand for efficient and reliable power switching solutions continues to grow across industries such as industrial motor drives, renewable energy systems, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Addressing this need, the Infineon IGO60R070D1 stands out as a robust 600V trenchstop™ IGBT engineered to deliver superior switching performance and high efficiency in a compact TO-247 package.

This device is characterized by its low saturation voltage (V_CE(sat)) of typically 1.55V at 30A, which directly translates to reduced conduction losses. This is a critical factor in applications operating at high frequencies, as it minimizes heat generation and improves overall system efficiency. Furthermore, it features a low turn-off energy (E_off), which significantly cuts switching losses. The combination of low conduction and switching losses makes the IGO60R070D1 exceptionally effective for circuits operating at elevated switching frequencies, allowing for the design of smaller, more cost-effective magnetic components and filters.

The IGBT incorporates a monolithic co-packaged diode for free-wheeling purposes. This integrated approach simplifies circuit design, saves board space, and enhances the reliability of the system by ensuring perfect parametric matching between the IGBT and the anti-parallel diode. The advanced trenchstop™ cell design also provides excellent short-circuit robustness (t_sc = 5µs), a vital safety feature that protects the device and the entire system under fault conditions.

Designed with ease of use in mind, the IGO60R070D1 offers a smooth switching behavior with minimal ringing, which helps to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). This simplifies the task of meeting stringent EMI standards and lowers the cost of filtering components. Its high current capability of 60A and a wide operational junction temperature range up to 175°C make it suitable for demanding environments.

ICGOODFIND: The Infineon IGO60R070D1 is a top-tier choice for designers seeking to optimize performance in power switching applications. Its outstanding blend of low losses, high efficiency, and integrated ruggedness provides a compelling solution for creating compact, reliable, and high-performance inverters, converters, and motor drives.
