1200V and 650V IGBTs with advanced field stop trench technology
Magnachip in Korea has started mass production of 1200V and 650V IGBTs for PTC heaters of electric vehicles.
The AMBQ40T120RFRTH (1200V) and AMBQ40T65PHRTH (650V) IGBTs use the Magnachip Field Stop Trench technology to enable minimum short-circuit withstand time of 10µs. This ruggedness enables PTC heaters to be protected from a permanent failure in the event of overcurrent conditions.
The large heat sink of the TO-247 package allows the IGBTs to provide higher levels of heat dissipation for applications requiring high power and efficiency, such as both the upper and lower sides of power management integrated circuits of PTC heaters.
“Since early last year, Magnachip has released high-performance automotive power solutions that adhere to the stringent AEC-Q101 standards,” said YJ Kim, CEO of Magnachip. “Now that we have successfully released our first IGBT products for EVs, we will continue to expand our product lineup to meet the diverse needs of the EV market and cater to the demands of our valued customers.”
