Medium voltage (MV) drive

Overview

Reliable, robust and compact drives in challenging environments

The most complex and challenging technical environments in the world are found in heavy industry. Heavy industry applications require reliable, robust, and compact drives. Particular attention is paid to minimizing drive train downtime. Medium voltage drives are found in the following applications: Mining, oil and gas, raw materials, chemical and petrochemical, and cement industries.

Infineon offers a wide range of suitable solutions for these applications. It does not matter if you choose a 2-level topology, multi-level topology, or a cascaded H-bridge solution, Infineon has the right products. In the lower-rated current range of less than 900 A, 62mm modules and EconoDUAL™ 3 is suitable. For higher required nominal currents we recommend PrimePACK™ IGBT Modules, IGBT modules in IHV housing, and XHP™ 3 modules. Our suitable answer for extreme lifetime requirements is our PrimePACK .XT. One challenge in heavy industry is the high loads caused by harmful gases. Our solution for this is Advanced H2S protection.

NOR Flash

NOR Flash is the ideal memory for code storage in embedded systems due to its fast random read performance.
This performance also supports XIP (eXecute In Place) functionality which allows host controllers to execute code directly from the NOR Flash Memory without needing to first copy the code to a RAM. Higher levels of Serial NOR Memory performance have enabled XIP to be used on a wide variety of designs in many applications.

Persistent RAM

Non-volatile RAM products, such as F-RAM and nvSRAM combine non-volatile data storage with the high performance of RAM. These RoHS-compliant memories offer high endurance, data retention of over 10 years at 85 °C and instant non-volatility without external battery back-up, enabling system reliability and cost reduction.

MoBL® Asynchronous SRAMs with on-chip ECC are suitable for industrial systems that require the highest standards of reliability and performance. In battery-backed systems, these SRAMs extend battery life with best-in-class standby currents of 6.5µA (at 85 °C) for an 8Mbit SRAM. Coupled with soft-error rates of < 0.1 FIT/Mb, these Ultra-Low-Power SRAMs are employed in a variety of applications.
