EconoDUAL™ 3

Overview

EconoDUAL™ 3 product family for medium power applications

With the EconoDUAL™ 3 products, Infineon supports the complete current ranges from 100 A up to 900 A at 600 V / 650 V / 1200 V and 1700 V. Excellent mechanical robustness, high power cycling capability, the option of PressFIT pins, and the availability of TIM makes it a reliable, cost effective solution. It is widely used in many different applications, such as general purpose drives, electric and hybrid vehicles, wind, solar, traction, CAV, UPS as well as transmission & distribution.

EconoDUAL™ 3 modules are equipped with the state-of-the-art TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7 or IGBT4 technologies for highest power density and leading-edge power cycling capability. The symmetrical design of the modules enables optimized current sharing between the IGBT half bridges in parallel operation.

EconoDUAL™ 3 modules are available in various topologies, and with integrated additional functionality, such as shunt resistors, for efficient inverter designs.

EconoDUAL™ 3 with TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7

Banner for FF900R12ME7_B11 dual IGBT module

System simplification and reduced costs by highest power density and performance

The EconoDUAL™ 3 modules with the latest TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7 chip generation extend the existing 1200 V IGBT4 portfolio with current ratings from 300 to 900 A . The FF750R12ME7_B11 and FF900R12ME7_B11 feature an improved housing for handling higher currents, and temperatures within the same footprint. FF300R12ME7_B11, FF450R12ME7_B11 and FF600R12ME7_B11 complete the portfolio towards lower current ratings.

In combination with the TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7 technology, they show a significant reduction of losses, a high level of controllability and switching softness, as well as high short-circuit capability. Together with the maximum operation temperature of 175°C at overload, high efficiency and power density are achieved, enabling system simplification and cost reduction.

Key Features Main Applications
  • 1200 V TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7 chip technology
  • Highest power density
  • Best-in-class VCE sat
  • Tvj op = 175°C overload
  • Improved terminals
  • Optimized creepage distance for 1500 V PV applications
  • PressFIT control pins and screw power terminals

EconoDUAL™ 3 with Shunts

 Reduced system costs by higher integration

EconoDUAL™ 3 modules are also 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.

 Key Features  Main Application
  • 1200 V state of the art IGBT4 technology
  • Integrated shunts resistors for direct current measurement
  • High current measurement accuracy across a wide temperature range
  • Optimized heat spread guarantees effective thermal management
  • PressFIT control pins and screw power terminals
  • TIM – pre-applied thermal interface material to achieve longest lifetime
  • Compact and robust design with molded terminals

Eco-friendly solutions for commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles

Today, electrification is revolutionizing transportation. But commercial, construction and agricultural vehicles, pose challenges for power electronics. Machines operate anywhere from the artic to the desert, have a long operating life and minimum down time – and are constantly exposed to shock and vibration. Electrification brings a world of new opportunity to CAV – and Infineon equips your designs with expert solutions destined for the future.

The EconoDUAL™ IGBT module is one of the most popular IGBT packages worldwide and is used in many different applications, such as General Purpose Drives; Commercial, Construction and Agricultural Vehicles as well as eBus; Solar; Wind; Traction; UPS and finally, Transmission and Distribution.In the latest module generation it is now feasible to increase the module current to 900 A. This is possible through the new IGBT7 technology enabling a higher power density and reduced BoM costs.

A thermal interface material, especially developed for and pre-applied to Infineon`s power modules outperforms the general purpose materials available.

Customers of power electronics require ever more modern, easy connection technologies, which also provide a higher reliability to meet the trends to higher temperatures and new applications.
