Introduction to IHV 6500 V

With the introduction of IHV housing, we established a standard for high-power IGBT modules which was adopted by all well-known manufacturers and used in countless applications all over the world. Under permanent load in daily demanding use of transportation applications or in rough environments like industrial inverters and wind turbines, IHV modules stand out for their high reliability and robustness.

Advantages of 6.5 kV IHV modules

Its high RMS current capability, optimized switching losses, wide electrical limits, operation at high DC-link voltages, and its robustness are only a small glimpse into the advantages that make Infineon 6.5 kV IHV modules customer’s favorite. To satisfy various performance and size requirements, our 6.5 kV IHV A are offered in three package sizes (73 x 140 x 48 mm, 130 x 140 x 48mm, and 190 x 140 x 38 mm), and are offered in three topologies: Single Switch, Chopper, and Diode IGBT modules. Especially traction applications operating under harsh conditions require high isolation capability and corresponding creepage and clearance distances which can be found in the 6.5 kV modules.

Key features

IHV 6500 V incorporates important key features, e.g., the 6.5 kV Trench plus Fieldstop IGBT and Fieldstop diode chips which are precisely developed with the focus on traction applications demanding high current capability and optimized switching losses, a current range from 250 A up to 750 A, high reliability, and robust module construction, AlSiC base plate for highest reliability and high power cycling capability, a minimum storage temperature of -55°C and a minimum operating temperature of -50°C.

Key benefits

The key benefits include the possibility of energy-efficient operation, twenty-five percent higher current density in the high-voltage package IHV standardized by Infineon and a high-power density for compact converter design.
