STMicroelectronics introduces “Tail-less” 600V IGBT Series

STMicroelectronics has launched an advanced 600V trench-gate field-stop IGBT V series  which features a smooth and tail-less turn-off characteristic, saturation voltage as low as 1.8V and maximum operating junction temperature of 175°C, allowing increased system energy efficiency, higher switching frequencies, and simplified thermal and EMI design.
 
ST’s new devices are designed to increase switching efficiency and operating frequency by eliminating the conventional IGBT turn-off current tail and have ultra-thin die thickness to assist switching performance and improve thermal dissipation. The new IGBTs also feature high dV/dt capability.
 
ST’s V series IGBTs rated from 20A to 80A are in production in TO-3P, TO-3PF, TO-220, TO-220FP, TO-247 or D2PAK packages. The 40A/600V STGW40V60DF in TO-247 package is priced at $2.80 for orders over 1,000 pieces.
