650 V to 1600 V RC-H Reverse Conducting IGBTs

The RC-H devices offer incredibly low switching and conduction losses, improved thermal performance and reduced power dissipation. They guarantee the best reliability for resonant switching application, even in high ambient temperature environments. Optimized for soft switching behavior, they offer excellent EMI behavior thus leading to less filtering requirements and ultimately to lower system costs.
In summary, RC-H IGBTs, with a monolithically integrated diode, are the perfect match for soft switching application as induction cooking stoves, inverterized microwave ovens and rice cookers. 

We combine the industry leading performance of the TRENCHSTOP™ family with the innovative Reverse Conducting RC-H IGBT technology to create a new generation of best-in-class devices.

RC-H IGBTs matches perfectly with EiceDRIVER™ families of low-side and half-bridges gate drivers for IGBT.

The 1400 V Reverse Conducting R5L with monolithically integrated reverse conducting diode in a TO-247 3pin package has been specially designed to fulfill specific requirement of Induction Cooking applications and embodies the next level of Infineon technology in improved vertical design and edge termination to realize a narrower losses distribution comparing to existing Reverse Conducting R5 family.

The Reverse Conducting R5L family is offered in four current class – 20 A, 25 A, 30 A and 40 A – with the increase breakdown voltage of 1400 V and shows low conduction and switching losses in the induction heating appliance with improved reliability, optimal thermal performance, and better design flexibility.

The Reverse Conducting R6 IGBT family, with its monolithically diode, offers the perfect trade-off between power losses and EMI behavior for all half-bridge resonant switching applications up to 75kHz, such as induction cooking stoves and inverterized microwave ovens.

The 650 V R6 portfolio, released in 3 current classes -30 A, 40 A and 50 A, provides the lowest V_CEsat for best efficiency along with lower turn-off losses and overall improved diode performance. Thanks to the improved diode, the V_F has been reduced and the dependency of gate voltage has been almost completely eliminated. The 650 V R6 devices show a great compatibility with existing gate driver solutions.

The Reverse Conducting R5 family is offered in three current classes – 20 A, 30 A and 40 A - for blocking voltages of 650 V, 1200 V, 1350 V with high ruggedness and efficiency, excellent thermal performance and lower EMI filtering requirements reducing overall system costs and design efforts. 

The 1600 V R5 completes the latest generation of Reverse Conducting IGBTs, developed and optimized for the higher reliability demand of high-end induction cooking applications, offering best-in class efficiency with low switching and conduction losses for soft switching applications. The 1600 V R5 is available in 30 A current class.

With the wide current and voltage classes, the reverse conducting R5 family represents the most comprehensive offer of IGBT for home appliances based on resonant switching topologies, like induction cookers and inverterized microwave ovens. In addition, the 1100 V R5 is available in 30 A current class.

The Reverse Conducting E1 family is offered in current classes of 15 A and 25 A - for blocking voltage of 1200 V. The reverse conducting E1 technology has been optimized to guarantee the best cost position among the available RC-H families. It features good thermal performance and low EMI filtering requirements, thus reducing overall system costs and design efforts.
