IGBT modules with integrated shunts

Overview

Reduced system costs by higher integration

Our low and medium power products EconoPACK™ 2 and 3 and EconoDUAL™ 3 are available with integrated shunt resistors for current monitoring in the AC path. The integration of additional functionality into the IGBT module is a very effective way to optimize the overall system costs of an inverter. External current sensors are no longer needed. This saves space in the system, reduces material costs and lowers manufacturing efforts.

In addition to the reduction in system costs, high current measurement accuracy across a wide temperature range is achieved. This leads to a precise motor control.

Highlights

The Econo medium power modules with integrated shunts can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as AC motor drives, switched-mode power supplies and solar. For an easy design in, a reference design is available.

With the Econo shunt module family, we supports current ranges from 75 A to 600 A at 1200 V and 1700 V. The modules are available with pre-applied thermal interface material for lowest thermal resistance and longest lifetime. The PressFIT housing enables a fast and cost efficient assembly.

The modules can be combined with our microcontrollers with integrated delta sigma demodulator function, e.g. XMC4400 and beyond
