Infineon Technologies expands its XHP 2 power module portfolio with new variants incorporating CoolSiC MOSFETs 2300V, designed for high-voltage power systems. The new 2300V class devices support DC-link voltages of up to 1500V, addressing the industry trend toward higher system voltages.

The modules are available in several variants, offering on-resistance (RDS(on)) values ranging from 1mΩ to 2mΩ and isolation voltages of 4kV or 6kV. By leveraging silicon carbide (SiC) technology, the devices reduce both switching and conduction losses compared to conventional silicon-based solutions. This enables inverters to achieve higher efficiency and power density, or to operate at higher switching frequencies to reduce harmonics and system size. The new XHP 2 CoolSiC MOSFET modules are well-suited for renewable energy applications, including wind, photovoltaic, and battery storage systems.

Implemented in the XHP 2 package, the modules feature symmetrical switching behaviour for easy paralleling in large power converters and offer a standardised platform that enables developers to balance efficiency and performance according to application requirements. All variants integrate Infineon’s proven .XT interconnection technology, enhancing reliability and extending operational lifetime. The modules are also available with a pre-applied thermal interface material, simplifying assembly while supporting consistent thermal performance.

These characteristics translate into measurable system-level benefits. In a wind power demonstration system, a power density of 300kW/L was achieved, while tests in battery storage systems showed semiconductor losses of less than 0.7% of the output power. With this portfolio expansion, Infineon supports scalable solutions for next-generation high-voltage power systems across a wide range of renewable energy applications.
