Automotive qualified IGBTs

Automotive qualified IGBT solutions supporting designer’s efforts in hybrid and electric mobility

Infineon’s broad range of Automotive IGBTs are designed for high voltage switching applications. Due to their high efficiency and reliability, insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) are the perfect match for (plug-in) hybrid vehicles and electric cars.

Our highly dependable semiconductor solutions support a wide range of motors, generators, and power classes, enabling compact and cost-efficient system designs that provide high energy efficiency thanks to the reduction of power losses. IGBTs are essential for electronic control systems, including motor control systems, inverters, and on-board chargers.

High-efficiency, low-loss automotive IGBT discretes bundle our outstanding TrenchStop™ and FieldStop technologies to reduce saturation voltages well below the levels offered by competing standard NPT IGBTs – without increasing the switching losses. These IGBT discretes offer maximum flexibility and scalability when it comes to the application design for all power classes.

Infineon’s automotive IGBT modules portfolio includes the HybridPACK™ and EasyPACK™ product families which are equipped with our leading IGBT technologies, such as EDT2, that provide excellent efficiency and high reliability. Distinct from automotive IGBT discretes, automotive IGBT modules cover power classes from 30-180kW, with one single B6-module or 3 half-bridge modules. They provide ease-of-use in designing and manufacturing the inverter and are optimized for direct water cooling and include isolation.

Automotive IGBT Product Solutions

Infineon’s range of automotive IGBT modules includes HybridPACK™ Drive, HybridPACK™ DSC, HybridPACK™ 1 &DC6(i), and EasyPACK™. Available in half-bridge, fourpack, and sixpack power semiconductor configurations, Infineon’s automotive IGBT modules set quality and reliability standards for power modules in hybrid and electric vehicles.

Our HybridPACK™ family enables a smooth transition across all power classes from HEV to EV (from 10 kW to 180 kW). These integrated power modules contain all power semiconductors required to drive electric motors of up to 180 kW, within the 750V and 1200V class, with the added bonus of compact inverter designs and optimum support for water cooling. For power ranges above 180 kW, the new HybridPACK™ Drive CoolSiCTM version is available, based on Infineon’s silicon carbide trench MOSFET structure.

Our EasyPACK™ automotive power modules are very compact and flexible half-bridge solutions for traction inverter, auxiliary, OBC, and DC-DC applications of hybrid and electric vehicles. This package enables high integration density as well as a fast and easy assembly process. The EasyPACK™ 1B and EasyPACK™ 2B footprints are the perfect flexible power modules for low-power solutions. Soon available in the market will be the automotive EasyPACK™ 2B, containing Infineon´s latest EDT2 chip technology, to maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness for low power inverters.

Furthermore, designed for hybrid and electric vehicles, Infineon’s extensive portfolio of automotive IGBT discretes includes IGBTs with, and without, anti-parallel diodes. Developed with our world-class TrenchStop™ technology, our discrete range of products offers the highest efficiency due to extremely low switching and conduction losses. Additionally, using IGBT discretes allows for very compact, yet easily scalable designs.

Designed with market leading technology, our IGBT power module automotive solutions are AQG 324 qualified and offer high mechanical robustness and ease-of-use in design and manufacturing. Additionally, our IGBT power modules can be used in other electric vehicle applications like on-board chargers, DC-DC converters, and auxiliary high voltage inverters for pumps and fans, providing high reliability, ease of use, and efficiency.

Automotive IGBT Automotive Module Solutions

Infineon’s wide range of automotive IGBT modules include HybridPACK™ and EasyPACK™ product families and extends across the full power spectrum required by IGBT modules in hybrid and electric vehicles. Various product versions in five different packages enable maximum scalability across voltage and power classes, from 50A to 950A and 400V to 1200V (nominal chip values). Using our leading automotive silicon and CoolSiCTM technologies, we offer the best technical fit for a range of applications including traction inverter, on-board battery charger, auxiliary inverters, and HV/LV DC-DC converters.

Our range of automotive power modules all have one thing in common: they offer the highest power densities and efficiency thanks to leading IGBT technologies. The Infineon automotive IGBT module range offers a broad portfolio of six-pack power semiconductor modules, such as the HybridPACK™ Drive for scalable power ranges of 100 kW to 180 kW for the 750V and 1200V class, and the HybridPACK™ DC6 and HybridPACK™ DC6i that further extends the frame module portfolio to address lower power classes.

Infineon’s HybridPACK™ product family also includes DSC power modules. DSC (Double Sided Cooling) modules are solutions optimized for medium power inverters from 30 to 75 kW where power density is key. The HYBRIDPACK™ DSC is a package offering high power density, excellent thermal performance, and high reliability.

For low-to medium power inverters, Infineon completes the automotive power module portfolio with the EasyPACK™ automotive power modules . These are very compact and flexible half-bridge solutions for traction inverter, auxiliary, OBC, and DC-DC applications of hybrid and electric vehicles. The EasyPACK™ 1B and EasyPACK™ 2B footprints enable high integration density as well as a fast and easy assembly process. Newly available in the market is the automotive EasyPACK™ 2B, containing Infineon´s latest EDT2 chip technology to maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness for low power inverters.
