Infineon launches power module platform, offers royalty free license

Infineon has launched two power module platforms that aim to improve the performance of high voltage IGBTs. The company is also offering a royalty free license of the design to IGBT power modules developers. The first products to use the platform will address 3.3kV (450A), 4.5kV (400A) and 6.5kV (275 A) applications using a package measuring 100 x 140 x 40mm. 

"We are pleased to present a package that answers the needs of industry for the foreseeable future," said Markus Hermwille, director of the High Power Segment within Infineon's Industrial Power Control Division. "We are certain the new module package will be of great benefit for all demanding high power applications. It is our aim to secure a broad and reliable base for the supply of the new high-power platform, which is why we are inviting the industry to make use of the design." 

According to the company, the platform addresses emerging system requirements for high power density, energy efficiency, long lifecycle and robustness. Designed with flexibility in mind, the module allows similar parts to be connected in parallel, in turn enabling a simplified structure to be used for the DC link terminal and capacitor. The AC terminals can be connected in parallel with only one busbar. 

The flexibility and scalability of the new modules will simplify system design considerably, thus supporting time to market requirements.
