Until the 1990s, the silicon GTO was the only available power semiconductor switching device with the power handling capability suitable for this application. In the 1990s, the ratings of IGBTs had sufficiently advanced, to exceed one Mega-Watt allowing penetration of the IGBT into this traction market. 

The availability of the IGBT allowed significant improvements in the motor drive technology due to the elimination of snubber circuits and an increase in the operating frequency of the inverter circuit used to deliver power to the motors. Mass transit systems within cities must rely upon busses, trams, and underground trains. Many cities have been replacing gasoline-powered buses with electric buses and trams to reduce urban pollution. All of these below requirements were met by using the IGBT-based motor drive in control system for the electric transit bus: (a) wide range of speed including high operating speed; (b) large startup torque for good acceleration; (c) high efficiency; and (d) regenerative braking to increase utilization of batteries. In Europe and Japan, electric tram transit systems have been modernized by using IGBT-based motor drives.

Manufacturers are using IGBT based motor drives in CT machines

http://uscomponent.com/blog-preview.php?postid=30


State-of-the-art medical diagnostic equipment has transformed the quality of care for our society. Non-invasive imaging of the interior of the body enables the surgeon to perform operations while minimizing damage to adjacent tissue and organs. The IGBT has been used since the early deployment of CT scanners for the control of the gantry on which the patient is reclining as described below. It is also used in the power supply for X-ray and Ultrasound machines. In addition, hundreds of thousands of lives are being saved due to the availability of portable defibrillators which require IGBTs for delivering the controlled shock to the patient of cardiac arrest as discussed below. Computed tomography (CT) generates a three dimensional image of a patient using a large series of two dimensional images taken around a single axis of rotation. The image is generated by viewing the patient using x-ray imaging from numerous angles. A single plane of a patient is scanned from various angles in order to provide a cross-sectional image of the internal structure of that plane. A three-dimensional view can then be created by mathematical analysis that combines the images. The gantry on which the patient is reclining is positioned using closed loop feedback control of motors in order to accurately move and position the patient. An IGBT-based motor drive is employed by all manufacturers, such as GE, Philips, and Siemens, for precise and controlled movement of the gantry. The CT scanner contains an X-ray tube with detectors located diametrically opposite the X-ray source which are rotated around the patient to generate a section image. CT scanners can provide detailed cross-sectional images of nearly every part of the human body including the brain, neck, shoulders, cervical spine, heart, lungs, abdomen, liver, kidney, pelvis, etc.

IGBT in Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Nearly 20 years ago, IGBT modules were first commenced to be used mainly in industrial equipments, and are now being utilized in electric power conversion systems for controlling motors in a wide range of fields, ranging from household appliances such as air conditioners to applications in the railroad industry. In recent years, the extent of automotive applications has been expanded and improvement is aiming to realize IGBT modules having even higher levels of performance. A hybrid vehicle system consists of an electric motor, a battery and an inverter. An electric power conversion system is needed to supply electrical energy from the battery to the motor, and to store energy generated by the motor in the battery. The inverter is used as that power conversion system. IGBTs (insulated gate bipolar transistor) are one of the most common modules to use as the main switching device in this electric power conversion system. Hybrid systems can be broadly categorized as either a dual-motor system (traction motor and generation motor) focused on travel performance or a single motor system that combines traction and generation functions and that is focused on miniaturization. The single-motor hybrid system, known as a parallel hybrid system (hereafter referred to as a parallel hybrid), is expected to increase in popularity with application to small vehicles where the parallel hybrid advantages of small size and light weight can be fully appreciated.

Toshiba Dispatches Opto-Disengaged IGBT Entryway Pre-Driver IC for In-Vehicle Inverters

TOKYO- - (BUSINESS WIRE)- - Toshiba Organization's (TOKYO:6502) Stockpiling and Electronic Gadgetshttp://www.uscomponent.com/ Arrangements Organization today reported the dispatch of "TB9150FNG," an opto-separated IGBT[1] door pre-driver IC with different upgraded defensive capacities for the in-vehicle inverters of electric and a half and half vehicles.

"Resolved to Individuals, Focused on what’s to come"

Test shipments begin today, with large scale manufacturing planned to begin in 2018. The IC will be showcased at "TECHNO-Boondocks 2016" to be held from 20 to 22 April at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

Inverter control is utilized to drive the engines of electric and half-breed vehicles effectively. As the control and drive capacities have diverse working voltages, they should be detached from each other, which is secured with a gadget like a photocoupler. This arrangement results in noisy commotion from the drive circuit. Another worry is that proficient IGBT driving requires little, flexible, elite IGBT entryway pre-driver ICs with implicit defensive capacities.

Toshiba "TB9150FNG" coordinates a photocoupler that secures abnormal state disengagement trademark between controls (the essential side) and drives (the auxiliary side). It fuses a profoundly exact IGBT temperature discovery work, a flyback transformer controller and a short out location capacity (current sense and DESAT [2] screen) that all add to framework scaling back.

Execution can be advanced by checking the IGBT's working temperature with the high exactness IGBT temperature identification capacity, contributing both to cutting back of the IGBT and enhanced fuel utilization by electric and the half and half vehicles.

Primary Elements

1. Optical confinement capacity

Electrical separation and high-withstand voltage segregation are accomplished by an inherent photocoupler for correspondence between the essential and auxiliary sides. The ideal disengagement this accomplishes secures a high resistance to the exogenous commotion, for example, that brought about by electro-attractive helplessness.

2. Very exact temperature identification capacity

The new IC has the consistent current hotspot for a temperature sense diode fused in IGBT and the Advertisement converter. It quantifies voltage inside the temperature sense diode with high exactness, permitting temperature to be accurately ascertained.

3. Worked in flyback transformer control circuit for the force supply

A flyback transformer control circuit in the essential side supplies energy to the optional side while looking after confinement. It additionally has a delicate begin work that secures smooth start-up when turning on energy to the circuit, maintaining a strategic distance from current over-burden.

4. Different inherent anomaly location circuits and insurance circuits

The force supply, yield, current and voltage of the IGBT are all observed. Data on any distinguished variation from the norm is exchanged to the principle controller part by means of an SPI interface. A committed circuit gives insurance against any variation from the norm with the possibility to wreck the IC and IGBT.

5. Taking into account AEC-Q100 norms

Notes:

[1]: Protected Door Bipolar Transistor: A bipolar transistor that joins a MOSFET into an entryway. Utilized for electric force control.

[2]: DESAT: desaturation.

Diferencias entre un transistor de efecto de campo de puerta aislada (MOSFET GATE) y el transistor Bipolar de Puerta Aislada (IGBT GATE)

Asumiendo el punto de interés es la potencia MOSFETS  y no  las pequeñas señales  MOSFET y silicio (lo contrario  a SIC, GAN).

Hay que estar atentos  que algunos  IGBT drivers  también tienen la opción de desactivar la tensión (para que los cambios sean más rápidos).

La primera característica que tenemos que chequear es la tensión de salida. Para los dispositivos de potencia deben de ser 0V a 12-15V (acpl-312T)  para atender a los umbrales de puerta alrededor 4V (Además de ser capaz de conducir a 15V Si activación de miller es una preocupación).

Tal como un Driver MOSFET conduciendo un IGBT e igualmente un driver IGBT conducir un MOSFET debe de estar bien.

La siguiente característica debe tener una corriente máxima. IGBT tendrá significantemente  una mayor capacidad  de puerta y como tal requiere mayores corrientes de pico para asegurar que el dispositivo se satura tan rápido como sea posible. Lo contrario a esto sería que los  MOSFETS se puedan cambiar más rápido y como tal la actual demanda de rms de conducir  un MOSFET podría ser más alta.

La corriente más alta  o cambios más altos de frecuencia afecta la potencia de la capacidad de los Drivers.

Difference Between a MOSFET Gate and IGBT Gate

Assuming the point of interest is power MOSFETS and not small signal MOSFETS and silicon (as oppose to SiC, GaN).

Be aware that some IGBT drivers also include a negative turn-off voltage (for faster switching).

The first characteristic to check is the output voltage. For power devices they should be 0V to 12-15V (acpl-312T) to cater for gate thresholds around 4V (as well as being able to drive to -15V if miller turn-on is a concern). As such a MOSFET driver driving an IGBT & equally an IGBT driver driving a MOSFET should be fine.

The next characteristic is peak current. IGBT's will have significantly larger gate capacitance and as such will require higher peak currents to ensure the device saturates as quick as possible. The converse of this is MOSFET's can be switched faster and as such the rms current demand to drive a MOSFET might be higher.

Higher current or higher switching frequency affects the driver power capability.

MODULOS IGBT EN VEHICULOS HIBRIDOS

Los vehículos híbridos son el futuro, esto ha sido ampliamente probado en la presente década, y es que hace 20 años el MOSFET era el elemento que prevalecía para poder dar poder a  todas estas maquinarias, su valor lo hacia atractivo, pero con el mejoramiento cada día de la industria automotriz el MOSFET ha caído cada vez mas y mas en desuso, para mejorar el rendimiento de estos vehículos se han podido diseñar módulos IGBT especialmente para ellos, el MOSFET por el contrario tenia una serie de sistemas como cargadores de batería, bombas y ventiladores que podrían ser catalogados como carga “pesada”, mientras el IGBT solo necesitaba de su modulo.

La principal razón para este cambio de sistema ha sido que el IGBT es simplemente mas eficiente que el MOSFET en varias áreas como; el cambio y flujo rápido de energía, el cambio de funciones y bloqueo de energía, evitar el recalentamiento del vehículo en general, esto hace al IGBT mucho mas eficiente que el MOSFET.

Hay algunas aplicaciones básicas que  están establecidas para estos vehículos, cada una de estas necesita  suiches conductores capaces de resistir muchos voltios de potencia, en algunos casos, conduciendo muchos amperios también, la aplicación del conductor que es la que suele manejar mayoritariamente el modulo IGBT, Usando cargadores de DC- DC El MOSFET SJ ha sido la elección predilecta porque suele funcionar a la perfeccion, dependiendo, en un rango de 70-150 kHz, EL IGBT esta incapacitado para trabajar con estas frecuencias tan altas, sin embargo, su sencillez a la hora de emplearlo se ve coartada por todas las limitaciones que el MOSFET SJ posee, creando así una necesidad para nuevas alternativas que se ve aventajada por el IGBT.

IGBT in Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles

One of the rapidly growing and diversified industries is the automotive manufacturing, which is the largest with a broad extent in consumer preferences for model, easement and innovation. Everyone will profess that severe urban pollution is occurred by the gasoline powered vehicles when these consume dwindling fossil fuel resources. Expansion of electric and hybrid-electric vehicles is the most effective solution of this problem. We have to face serious technological challenges to achieve the worldwide goal to lessen the CO₂ discharge and fuel consumption with pioneering endeavors in evolving electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).

Motor drives based on IGBT have been used in all hybrid-electric and electric cars introduced into the market until now. IGBTs play the major role in new powertrain generations like EVs and HEVs to drive the electric motor or gather the energy. IGBTs are vulnerable to heating issues because they run at very high frequencies and under high power. Thermal characterization helps to optimize the IGBTs layout, structure and mounting to optimize its performance.

All hybrid-electric and electric cars that have been introduced into the market so far have relied up on IGBT-based motor drives. In new powertrain generations such as EVs and HEVs, IGBTs play the key role in order to drive the electric motor or store the energy. IGBTs run at very high frequencies and under high power which makes them vulnerable to thermal problems. After all we can say, the availableness of IGBTs has been diametrical to the advancement of the hybrid vehicles and to the expansion of the charging substructure for the electric vehicles. IGBTs will continue playing a very important part in the availability of cost deducting technology for the entire hybrid and electric vehicle business.
