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

EconoDUAL™ 3 modules are now available with the latest TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7 generation, extending the 1200V portfolio from 600 A up to 900 A. The 900 A 1200 V EconoDUAL™ features an improved housing for handling higher currents, and temperatures within the same footprint.

In combination with the TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT7 technology, it shows 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.

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.
