Microchip: IGBT7 IGBT Power Modules for Mid-to-High-Power Voltage Applications

Microchip Technology’s IGBT 7 portfolio delivers the next generation of high-performance power components, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern power electronic systems. Offering exceptional power capability, reduced power losses, and compact sizes, these devices provide an optimal solution for applications in sustainability, E-Mobility, data centers, and industrial systems.

Optimized for Versatility and Performance
Microchip’s IGBT 7 devices are engineered for a wide variety of power applications, including solar inverters, hydrogen ecosystems, commercial and agricultural vehicles, and More Electric Aircraft (MEA). These devices feature a lower on-state IGBT voltage (Vce), an improved antiparallel diode (lower Vf), and increased current-handling capability to deliver higher power density, greater system efficiency, and reduced power losses.

Tailored Configurations for System Designers
Available in a variety of standard and low-inductance package options—including D3, D4 62 mm, SP6C, SP1F, and SP6LI—these devices cater to diverse power system needs. Designers can choose from multiple configurations and topologies, such as:

  • Three-level Neutral-Point Clamped (NPC)
  • Three-phase bridge
  • Boost chopper
  • Full-bridge
  • Phase leg
  • And more

The portfolio spans voltage ratings of 1200V to 1700V and current ratings from 50A to 900A, enabling precise optimization for specific application requirements.

High Reliability for Specialized Applications
The IGBT 7 devices are particularly suited for aviation and defense applications, thanks to their ability to handle high overloads at Tvj up to 175°C. With lower-inductance packages and freewheeling softness, they support efficient motor control with reduced EMI, minimized voltage spikes, and enhanced dv/dt controllability—critical for rugged, high-reliability environments such as propulsion, actuation, and power distribution systems.

Comprehensive System Solutions
Microchip’s IGBT 7 devices seamlessly integrate with its broad ecosystem of power management technologies, including FPGAs, MCUs, MPUs, dsPIC® Digital Signal Controllers, and analog devices. This unified approach provides designers with comprehensive, single-supplier solutions for a wide range of applications.

Whether optimizing for cost efficiency, power density, or system reliability, Microchip’s IGBT 7 portfolio is a powerful choice for today’s most demanding industrial and aerospace systems. For more information, explore Microchip’s extensive range of power solutions online.
