600V GenX3™ IGBTs
NEXT GENERATION 600V IGBTS FOR POWER CONVERSION APPLICATIONS
IXYS extends its GenX3TM insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) product line to
600 volts. These new IGBTs are manufactured using IXYS’ state-of-the-art GenX3TM
IGBT process and ulize IXYS’ advanced Punch-Though (PT) technology, tailored
to provide higher surge current capabilies, lower saturaon voltages, and lower
switching losses.
To accommodate opmum part selecon, designers have a choice in selecng
between three sub-classes denoted A3, B3, and C3. These classicaons allow
designers to “dial in” the best compromise between stac (conducon) and
dynamic (switching) losses, improving over-all system eciency in a variety of
power conversion applicaons by balancing crical requirements such as switching
frequency, eciency, and cost structure. The A3-Class are opmized for low
saturaon voltage V(sat) and are well suited for applicaons requiring switching
frequencies up to 5kHz. Similarly, the B3-Class oers low saturaon voltages, but
is opmized to accommodate applicaons that require “medium speed” switching
operaon from 5kHz to 40kHz. The C3-Class is opmized for “high speed” switching
operaon from 40kHz to 100kHz and resonant switching operaon of up to
400kHz.
IXYS 600V GenX3TM IGBTs are oered in various standard packages, including the
full gamut of surface mount and discrete packages with current rangs from 36
amperes to 210 amperes. Furthermore, some devices will be oered in PLUS and
ISOPLUS isolated packages, featuring UL recognized 2500V isolaon and superior
thermal performance. Co-Packed variants of these new devices are available with
IXYS’ HiPerFREDTM ultra-fast recovery diodes providing exceponal fast recovery
and so switching characteriscs.
These IGBTs are designed to achieve the opmal soluon in applicaons such as
power inverters, UPS, motor drives, SMPS, PFC, baery chargers, welding machines,
lamp ballasts, inrush current protecon circuits and DC choppers.

600V GenX3TM (C3) IGBTs Summary Table
600V GenX3TM (B3) IGBTs Summary Table
C3-Class n High Speed IGBTs n Up to 100kHz
The switching and conducon losses for the C3-Class are opmized for switching frequencies up to 100khz. The C3-Class performance
improvements include up to a 12% decrease in thermal resistance for improved power handling and also include up to 22% lower turn-o
energy per pulse (Eo) for signicantly lower switching losses versus prior generaon of high speed IGBTs.
B3-Class n Medium Speed IGBTs n Up to 40kHz
The switching and conducon losses for the B3-Class are opmized for up to 40kHz. Performance improvements were incorporated to
yield up to 22% lower turn-o energy per pulse (Eo) and 10% lower thermal resistance to improve power handling.
The gure on the le illustrates a general circuit
topology of an inverter welding power source. This
circuit topology is composed of four stages: A) Recer
stage, B) PFC & Boost stage, C) Power stage, and D)
Output stage. Input power from a power grid enters
the reccaon stage to be reced to a DC value
and is processed via a power factor correcon boost
converter. From there it enters the power stage which
employs a full bridge inverter to convert the voltage
back to AC at high frequencies typically from 50Khz
to 100Khz. The AC signal is then stepped down via T1
transformer which then gets reced and smoothed
out at the output stage.
The gure on the right illustrates an AC motor
drive that ulizes a resonant DC link inverter. A
resonant link (L1, C2) is axed to the DC bus line
of a pulse width modulaon inverter. The resonant
link is then ‘excited’ and maintains resonance
through the control of the IGBTs in a way that
the resonang dc voltage bus frequently reaches
zero volts. The IGBTs are turned on and o at
zero voltage and are synchronized to match the
zero voltage crossings to achieve the desired low
switching loss. An acve clamp circuit (Q7, C1) is
added to clamp down unwanted overshoot when
the DC inverter current decreases abruptly caused
by the switching behavior of the IGBTs.
