TRENCHSTOP™ 5 S5 in TO-220-3

650V TRENCHSTOP™ 5 is recognized leading IGBT thin-wafer technology. Now also available in small footprint packages like TO-220-3 enables higher power designs in a compact size. Apart from high current density in small package low losses of the TRENCHSTOP™ 5 benefits to low junction temperature of the device, consequently less cooling, longer operational cycles and high life time expectancy.

The new 650V TRENCHSTOP™ 5 S5 in TO-220 can be used in different applications requiring high current density in a small package size.

One of such application is motor driver inverter for professional use corded power tools. Traditionally the power switches used in motor drive inverter, like B6 topology, require capability to withstand short circuit event of 5-3µsec. However now many motor drive manufacturers driven to have the lowest losses on the switch consider using lowest losses IGBTs, like TRENCHSTOP™ 5,  in a design with an optimized protection circuit, that minimizes occurrence of a short circuit event. The key customer benefit here is the lowest losses on the power switch that allows longer operational cycles and reduced cooling requirements that impacts final product size and weight.
