Power modules offer complete integrated solutions for solar inverters and UPS

Available from Digi-Key, Vishay’s IGBT power modules combine ultra-fast trench IGBTs, high-efficiency HEXFRED and FRED Pt diode technologies, and thermistors for easy thermal management in single packages featuring press-fit technology. The modules offer complete, integrated solutions for inverters based on three-level, neutral point clamp topologies and interleaved, multiple-channel, maximum power point tracking boost converters. With their integrated design, the devices help designers reduce time-to-market and improve overall system performance. For three-level NPC topologies, the VS-ENQ030L120S provides a collector-to-emitter breakdown voltage of 1,200V and a collector current rating of 30A. Designed for three-level inverter stages, the VS-ETF075Y60U and VS-ETF150Y65U offer designers a choice of 75A and 150A collector current ratings with 600V and 650V collector-to-emitter breakdown voltages, respectively, and provide high-temperature performance to 175C. Optimised for double-boost converters, the 15A VS-ETL015Y120H features a collector-to-emitter breakdown voltage of 1,200V, high-efficiency silicon boost diodes, integrated 62A bypass diodes, and panel short-circuit, full-current, reverse polarity protection diodes. All devices offer a modular and scalable design to fit higher power-level applications Offered in the EMIPAK packages, the power modules' solderless press-fit technology allows for easy PCB mounting, while an exposed DBC substrate enables low thermal resistance. The devices provide low internal inductance and switching losses, while offering operating frequencies up to 20 kHz. The modules' optimised layout helps to minimise stray parameters for better EMI performance. The RoHS-compliant devices are UL-approved. Their power modules are compliant with industry standards, and custom solutions can be tailored to meet specific application requirements.
