FOURTH GENERATION 1200 V IGBT ROHM has developed automotive-grade AEC-Q101 qualified fourth generation 1200 V IGBTs that combine class-leading low loss characteristics with high shortcircuit resistance. This makes the devices ideal for vehicle electric compressors and HV heaters as well as industrial inverters. The current lineup includes four models in two discrete package types (TO-247-4L and TO-247N), along with 11 bare chip variants, with plans to further expand the lineup in the future. The increasing use of higher voltages in automotive systems and industrial equipment has led to a growing demand for power devices capable of handling high voltages. At the same time, there is a strong push for high efficiency power devices to improve energy conservation, simplified cooling mechanisms, and smaller form factors. In response, ROHM redesigned the device structure and adopted an appropriate package to develop new 4th Generation IGBTs suitable for high voltage by delivering industry-low loss characteristics with superior short-circuit tolerance. These devices achieve an industry-leading short-circuit withstand time of 10 µs (Tj = 25°C) together with low switching and conduction losses while maintaining a high withstand voltage of 1200 V. At the same time, the new TO-247-4L package products, which feature four terminals, can accommodate an effective voltage of 1100 V in a Pollution Degree 2 environment by ensuring adequate creepage distance between pins. This enables support for higher voltage applications than conventional products. For more information, visit rohm.com. In development of immersive training, SemiXR generates and imports a broad range of 2D and 3D assets to populate immersive training environments and can develop and optimize an XR user interface (UI) for maximized learning. After initial implementation, they quantify performance of the XR learning experience to monitor the benefits of their method. Augmented troubleshooting development starts with generation and importation of a broad range of 2D and 3D assets to augment the passthrough camera. These are used to develop and optimize an augmented reality (AR) UI for immersive troubleshooting, leading to the development of step-by-step AR-displays for the troubleshooting environment. SemiXR boasts a unique blend of deep tech expertise, university grade training, and extensive industry SemiXR develops extended reality environments for training and troubleshooting in semiconductor manufacturing and metrology. ROHM’s new 1200 V IGBTs combine class-leading low loss characteristics with high shortcircuit resistance.
