ON Semiconductor has expanded its portfolio of high performance IGBTs targeted at high performance power conversion (HPPC) consumer appliance and industrial applications. The new generation Field Stop II (FSII) devices improve switching characteristics and reduce losses by up to 30 percent leading to higher efficiency and translating into lower case temperature, giving designers options for improving overall system performance and reliability

Optimised for targeted applications, these devices show a reduction in case temperature of up to 20 percent over existing devices.

The first group of FSII IGBTs is the NGTBxxN120IHRWG and NGTBxxN135IHRW; these devices feature optimised switching and reduced conduction losses for induction heating and soft switching applications operating at medium frequencies of 15kHz to 30 kHz. . These high-speed IGBTs are provide excellent performance in induction heating based products such as hot pots, rice cookers and microwave appliances. The family of devices is available in both 1200V and 1350V platform versions with current ratings of 20A, 30A and 40A.

Further expansion of the FSII IGBT technology includes the NGTBxxN120FL2WG and NGTBxxN135FL2WG family of devices designed specifically for solar inverter, uninterrupted power systems (UPS), and inverter welder applications. With improved thermal characteristics, these new devices will have an operational junction temperature range of -55 to +175°C and increase in current ratings up to 100A in TO-247 packages.
