Infineon IKW75N65EH5: A 650V, 75A High-Speed TRENCHSTOP™ 5 IGBT for High-Efficiency Power Conversion

The demand for high-efficiency and high-reliability power conversion systems continues to grow across industries such as renewable energy, industrial motor drives, and automotive applications. Addressing this need, Infineon Technologies introduces the IKW75N65EH5, a robust 650V, 75A IGBT that leverages the advanced TRENCHSTOP™ 5 technology to deliver exceptional performance in switching applications.

This IGBT is engineered to minimize both conduction and switching losses, a critical factor for systems requiring high power density and thermal management. The low saturation voltage (Vce(sat)) ensures reduced conduction losses, while the soft switching behavior and fast switching capabilities help in cutting down switching losses significantly. This makes the device particularly suitable for power converters operating at medium frequencies, such as solar inverters, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and welding equipment.

One of the standout features of the IKW75N65EH5 is its positive temperature coefficient, which simplifies paralleling of multiple devices for higher power applications without the risk of thermal runaway. Additionally, the device offers enhanced ruggedness and short-circuit capability, providing designers with a safety margin in demanding conditions.

The integration of an optimized anti-parallel emitter-controlled diode further improves the overall efficiency by offering reverse recovery performance that complements the IGBT’s fast switching. This results in lower electromagnetic interference (EMI) and better system reliability.

Packaged in the industry-standard TO-247, the IKW75N65EH5 ensures easy implementation and excellent thermal conductivity. Its high current capability combined with low loss characteristics makes it an ideal choice for high-power switching applications where efficiency and compact design are paramount.
