Many industrial purposes immediately are transitioning to higher energy ranges with minimized energy losses, which could be achieved by means of elevated DC link voltage. Infineon Applied sciences AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) addresses this problem by introducing the CoolSiC™ Schottky diode 2000 V G5, the primary discrete silicon carbide diode available on the market with a breakdown voltage of 2000 V. The product household is appropriate for purposes with DC link voltages up to 1500 VDC and affords present scores from 10 to 80 A. This makes it splendid for higher DC link voltage purposes reminiscent of in photo voltaic and EV charging purposes.
The product household comes in a TO-247PLUS-4-HCC bundle, with 14 mm creepage and 5.4 mm clearance distance. This, along with a present ranking of up to 80 A, enables a considerably higher energy density. It permits builders to obtain higher energy ranges in their purposes with solely half the part rely of 1200 V options. This simplifies the general design and enables a clean transition from multi-level topologies to 2-level topologies.
As well as, the CoolSiC Schottky diode 2000V G5 makes use of the .XT interconnection know-how that leads to considerably decrease thermal resistance and impedance, enabling higher warmth administration. Moreover, the robustness in opposition to humidity has been demonstrated in HV-H3TRB reliability checks. The diodes exhibit neither reverse restoration present nor ahead restoration and characteristic a low ahead voltage, making certain enhanced system efficiency.
The 2000 V diode household is an ideal match for the CoolSiC MOSFETs 2000 V in the TO-247Plus-4 HCC bundle that Infineon launched in spring 2024. The CoolSiC diodes 2000 V portfolio shall be prolonged by providing them in the TO-247-2 bundle, which shall be obtainable in December 2024. An identical gate driver portfolio can be obtainable for the CoolSiC MOSFETs 2000 V.
