The big benefit of using RB IGBT is that the number of elements that the current goes through is smaller compared with the conventional methods. This leads to a reduction of conductance losses.
The Safe Operation Area (SOA) of a diode indicates the area where the maximum power determined by a product of the current and voltage applied during reverse recovery can be allowed. This maximum power is called as Pmax.
If voltage is applied between C-E while the gate is open, the divided voltage by Cres and Cies is applied to the gate, as well. This may lead to a gate breakdown from overvoltage, or a breakdown by heating from elevated device temperature due to a unstable ON state of the gate. As such, for […]
This is not problematic. Small IPM modules already contain bootstrap diodes and a limiting resistor inside.
IPM contains electronic parts such as PCBs, ICs and capacitors. Therefore, it has a narrower temperature range compared to regular IGBT modules.
IGBT module do not have a specification of the FBSOA. For IGBT modules the SOA of the FWD is given in the datasheets.
It varies depending on conditions such as internal structure of the module, thermal grease and cooling fins. Please contact Fuji Electric Corp. of America or your local sales representative or distributor to answer your question.
IGBTs developed in recent years are designed to not cause latch-up within a range of normal usage.
Short circuit withstand capability in the datasheets for our modules are defined in DC short circuit condition (arm short circuit). In the case of load short circuit, the short circuit occurs during conducting mode of the IGBT, and the larger current than the saturation current may flow into the device.
