TRENCHSTOP™ 5 - matching tomorrow’s high efficiency demands

Infineon’s new TRENCHSTOP™ 5 IGBT technology redefines "Best-in-Class" IGBT by providing unmatched performance in terms of efficiency for hard switching applications. The new products are optimized for PFC and PWM topologies in applications such as Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and Inverterized Welding Machines.

TRENCHSTOP™ 5 provides you the best solution for High Performance Welding and UPS Applications:

Your Requirements   Our Solution
  • High efficiency, high quality
  • High switching frequency for higher current output
  • Low thermals for less cooling and higher reliability
  • Smaller size and lower weight of welding machine
Arrow
  • Best-in-Class for highest performance designs
  • Highest efficiency at frequency 50-100kHz
  • Excellent welding quality due to fastest time to arc current (550µsec)
  • Lowest Tj and Tcase - up to 35°C lower than competitors

Unbeatable together: TRENCHSTOP™ 5 and Rapid Diodes – the perfect fit for your PFC

650V TRENCHSTOP™ 5

The TRENCHSTOP™5 technology will be used as the basis of two families.

The first family, the HighSpeed 5 (H5), is available for the ease of use/plug and play replacement of existing IGBTs. It is a soft, high-speed IGBT requiring low design-in efforts.

The second family, the HighSpeed 5 FAST (F5), requires higher design effort, but offers the highest ever efficiency seen by an IGBT, for example more than 98% system efficiency has been observed in application measurements in a photovoltaic inverter using a H4 bridge.

Both are released with and without a 650V, anti-parallel, free-wheeling hyperfast silicon diode (FWD), where the hyperfast diode is an Infineon developed diode technology, from Infineon’s proprietary Rapid diode family.

Benefits

  • Best-in-Class efficiency, resulting in lower junction and case temperature leading to higher device reliability
  • 50V increase in the bus voltage possible without compromising reliability
  • Higher power density design
Welding Application Uninterruptible Power Supplies

Key Applications

  • Welding
  • Uninterruptible Power Supplies
TRENCHSTOP™ is available in two variants
Variant 1: HighSpeed 5 - H5/High speed variant Variant 2: HighSpeed 5 Fast - F5/Highest efficiency
Plug & Play/Easy of use
  • Designed for ease of use implementation to easily replace existing IGBTs in designs or where redesign resources are limited
  • Optimized for gate resistor values down to 5Ω
Performance optimized
  • For low inductance designs in combination with SiC diodes to offer 1% higher efficiency compared to the H5
  • Requires higher design in effort, but rewards are higher
