650 V/ 1100 V/ 1200 V/ 1350 V/ 1400V/ 1600 V RC-H Reverse Conducting IGBTs
Higher Efficiency and Better Reliability for induction heating applications
The RC-H devices offer incredibly low switching and conduction losses, improved thermal performance and reduced power dissipation. They guarantee the best reliability for resonant switching application, even in high ambient temperature environments. Optimized for soft switching behavior, they offer excellent EMI behavior thus leading to less filtering requirements and ultimately to lower system costs.
In summary, RC-H IGBTs, with a monolithically integrated diode, are the perfect match for soft switching application as induction cooking stoves, inverterized microwave ovens and rice cookers.
We combine the industry leading performance of the TRENCHSTOP™ family with the innovative Reverse Conducting RC-H IGBT technology to create a new generation of best-in-class devices.
RC-H IGBTs matches perfectly with EiceDRIVER™ families of low-side and half-bridges gate drivers for IGBT.

650 V Reverse Conducting R6
The Reverse Conducting R6 IGBT family, with its monolithically diode, offers the perfect trade-off between power losses and EMI behavior for all half-bridge resonant switching applications up to 75kHz, such as induction cooking stoves and inverterized microwave ovens.
The 650 V R6 portfolio, released in 3 current classes -30 A, 40 A and 50 A, provides the lowest VCEsat for best efficiency along with lower turn-off losses and overall improved diode performance. Thanks to the improved diode, the VF has been reduced and the dependency of gate voltage has been almost completely eliminated. The 650 V R6 devices show a great compatibility with existing gate driver solutions.
