Infineon IKW40N120CS7XKSA1: 1200V, 40A TRENCHSTOP™ 7 IGBT with High Power Density and Robustness
The Infineon IKW40N120CS7XKSA1 is a state-of-the-art Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) engineered to deliver superior performance in high-power switching applications. As part of Infineon’s advanced TRENCHSTOP™ 7 technology, this device combines high efficiency, exceptional power density, and outstanding ruggedness, making it an ideal choice for modern energy-conscious systems such as solar inverters, industrial motor drives, and UPS applications.
Operating at 1200V and 40A, this IGBT is designed to handle high voltages and currents with minimal losses. A key feature of the TRENCHSTOP™ 7 series is its optimized trench cell structure, which significantly reduces saturation voltage (VCE(sat)) and enhances switching performance. This leads to lower conduction and switching losses, resulting in improved overall system efficiency and reduced thermal stress.
Another critical advantage is its high robustness and short-circuit capability, allowing the device to withstand extreme operational conditions without failure. The IKW40N120CS7XKSA1 also features a very soft switching behavior, which helps in reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and simplifies the design of filters and snubber circuits.
The module is offered in the TO-247 package, which provides excellent thermal conductivity and simplifies mounting to heat sinks, further supporting thermal management in high-power designs. Its low-loss characteristics not only improve efficiency but also allow for higher switching frequencies, enabling the use of smaller passive components and contributing to more compact and cost-effective system designs.
