To increase the power-conversion efficiency of UPSs, solar generators, welders, industrial motor drives and similar equipment, the S-series 1200V IGBTs from STMicroelectronics are optimised for the lowest combined conduction and turn-off losses at switching frequencies up to 8kHz.

The S series has the lowest saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) among 1200V IGBTs currently on the market, which ensures a lower voltage drop and minimises power dissipation, thereby simplifying thermal management. In addition, the positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient, with tight distribution of parameters, simplifies parallelling of multiple devices for higher power requirements. Very low voltage overshoot and zero oscillation at turn-off allows simpler external circuitry and fewer components.

With 10µs minimum short-circuit withstand time, latch-up free operation, an extended maximum operating junction temperature of 175°C, and wide SOA, the devices are extremely rugged and reliable.

The S-series IGBTs offer 15A, 25A and 40A current ratings in standard or long-lead TO-247 packages. All feature the latest-generation co-packaged freewheeling diode, which combines fast recovery and a high level of softness for very low EMI and turn-on losses. Prices start from $2.80 for the 15A STGW15S120DF3 in standard TO-247 package for orders of 1000 pieces.
