Infineon TD570N16KOF: A High-Performance 1600V IGBT Module for Industrial Drives and UPS Applications
The demand for robust and efficient power conversion in high-voltage applications continues to drive innovation in semiconductor technology. Addressing this need, the Infineon TD570N16KOF stands out as a premier 1600V IGBT module engineered specifically for challenging environments found in industrial drives and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
This module is built upon Infineon's advanced TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7 technology, which represents a significant leap forward in power semiconductor performance. The IGBT7 chip technology is optimized for low conduction and switching losses, enabling superior energy efficiency across a wide range of operating frequencies. This is particularly critical in industrial motor drives, where minimizing energy loss directly translates to reduced operational costs and enhanced sustainability. The high voltage rating of 1600V provides a strong safety margin and reliability in 3-level NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) topologies commonly used in industrial inverters and high-end UPS systems, ensuring stable operation even with demanding line voltages and transient surges.
A key attribute of the TD570N16KOF is its low VCE(sat) (saturation voltage), which ensures minimal power dissipation during the on-state operation. This characteristic, combined with a positive temperature coefficient, simplifies the paralleling of modules for higher power applications, promoting excellent current sharing and system scalability. Furthermore, the module exhibits robust short-circuit capability (tsc = 3µs), a vital feature for protecting costly downstream components and ensuring system availability in fault conditions.
The module’s package is designed for high reliability, featuring low-induance design and Al2O3 (alumina) ceramic DCB substrates for excellent electrical isolation and thermal performance. This allows for efficient heat dissipation, maximizing the power density of the overall system. These features make it an ideal solution for applications requiring compact design and high power output, such as in data center UPS or heavy industrial machinery.
ICGOOFind: The Infineon TD570N16KOF is a high-voltage powerhouse that sets a new benchmark for efficiency and robustness. By leveraging the latest IGBT7 technology, it delivers an optimal balance of low losses, high reliability, and power density, making it an exceptional choice for next-generation industrial drives and UPS applications.
