High-Power Modules with Soft-Punch-Through IGBT Technology for Traction Applications

Following the successful introduction of the 1700V SPT-IGBT LoPak module range,and in order to further exploit the performance benefits of the new 1700V SPT-IGBT and diode chips,the new range of 1700V■E1■±and ■E2■±industry standard modules rated up to 2400A is presented here.The new package range is designed with characteristics suited for the traction market based on our long experience in high reliability applications.In this paper,the performance of the new 1700V SPT-IGBT [E1/E2] module range is discussed,with particular reference to the improved static and dynamic performance.
