About IGBT Modules

Insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are the most used power electronic components in industrial applications, offering fast switching of electric currents to achieve low switching losses. 

Infineon’s industrial and power control IGBTs are designed with superior current capability and higher pulse load capacity for enhanced robustness. The IGBTs can withstand voltages up to 6.5 kV and operate at switching frequencies from 2 kHz to 50 kHz.

Infineon’s IGBT product portfolio provides a broad variety of different devices for a wide range of applications in automotive, traction, energy transmission, industrial, and consumer systems. These solutions offer very low power losses in the forward and blocking state, only require low drive power, and have a high efficiency. 

Select the right IGBT solution for your needs from Infineon’s extensive portfolio.

IGBT modules portfolio

IGBT modules are designed to provide efficient, high-speed, and high-power energy conversion in a variety of applications. They are essential components in applications such as motor control, power supplies, and power inverters.

Infineon’s modules are available in a range from hundreds of watts to several megawatts and with a current rating between 6 A and 3600 A. The package options include chopper, dual, PIM, four-pack, six-pack, twelve-pack, 3-level, booster, single-switch configurations, and more.

These IGBT modules are also available with a pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM) for consistent thermal performance in power electronic applications. 

Additionally, IGBT modules can be mounted with the help of PressFIT pins for a solderless connection to high-current PCBs. 

Automotive-qualified IGBT module solutions are also available to help designs in hybrid and electric mobility.

Application information

IGBT modules are now a central component in inverters for all types of electric drives, battery chargers, solar systems, and wind turbines.

General purpose drives: Control motor speeds in industrial applications, enhancing energy savings and operational precision

Servo units: Enable high-speed, precise motor control in robotics and CNC machinery, vital for automation

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs)/electric vehicles (EVs): Essential for handling dynamic loads during acceleration and regenerative braking

Solar inverters: Convert variable direct current (DC) from solar panels into consistent alternating current (AC), optimizing power transfer for grid or local usage

Wind power: Ensure steady AC power output from variable winds and control blade pitch for maximum efficiency in turbines

IGBTs' fast switching and high power handling capabilities are key to advancing energy-efficient technology.

IGBT technology

Today, the IGBT is the cost-efficient workhorse in many power electronics applications. IGBTs combine the high current carrying capabilities and high blocking voltages of a bipolar transistor with capacitive, almost zero-power control of a MOSFET. IGBTs can be built to withstand very high voltages, and applications with more than 600 V are dominated by IGBTs today. 

An IGBT does not inherently contain a freewheeling or body diode by design. This component, however, is needed to protect the switch and provide a freewheeling path to prevent reverse current.
