Infineon Technologies
has introduced a new family of cost optimized discrete IGBTs that can be
dropped into existing designs of low- to mid-price range induction cookers and
induction rice cookers.
Induction cooking
appliances commonly make use of resonant topologies which allow bi-directional
current flow and need a discrete IGBT that performs best at switching
frequencies from 18 to 40 kHz with low losses.
The new RC-E family
features an IGBT with monolithically integrated reverse conduction diode for
resonant switching that is also optimized for low switching and conduction
losses. Lower losses allow designers to have efficiency and power targets for
induction cooking applications more easily so that less energy is consumed for
cooking. With low E off, VF, R th and V ce(sat), the device architecture sets a
new industry benchmark in price/performance and ease-of-use.
The INFIPC201610-004
fulfills all the requirements for soft switching applications and efficiency as
well as EMI standards with a lower BoM cost. The RC-E is offered in a standard
TO-247 package allowing a drop-in replacement for existing designs.
