– Contributing to Higher Efficiency in Automotive Electric Compressors and Inverters for Industrial Equipment –<\/p>\n
KYOTO, Japan<\/span><\/span>, Nov. 12, 2024<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed fourth-generation 1200V IGBTs that are automotive-grade and qualified for AEC-Q101, combining class-leading* low-loss characteristics with high short-circuit resistance. This makes the devices ideal for vehicle electric compressors, high-voltage heaters, and industrial inverters. The current lineup includes four models in the RGA series in discrete packages (TO-247-4L and TO-247N), along with 11 bare chip variants with plans to further expand the lineup in the future.<\/p>\n *ROHM’s November 2024<\/span> study<\/p>\n Product Pages Bare chips: https:\/\/www.rohm.com\/products\/igbt\/igbt-bare-die?SearchWord=sg84#productFamily<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n In addition to these features, the devices achieve an industry-leading short-circuit withstand time of 10 microseconds (Tj=25 deg C), together with low switching and conduction losses while maintaining a high withstand voltage of 1200V and meeting automotive standards by reviewing the device structure, including the peripheral design.<\/p>\n Simultaneously, the new TO-247-4L package, which features four terminals, can accommodate an effective voltage of 1100V in a Pollution Degree 2* environment by ensuring adequate creepage distance between pins.
