IGBT Series and Applications

ROHM Semiconductor offers several IGBT series, and each is focused on certain applications and markets. Parameters like short-circuit withstand time (SCWT), saturation voltage (VCEsat), and dynamic losses are tailored to fit specific application requirements. Users can choose the best IGBT series from ROHM according to the rated SCWT (x-axis), and operation switching frequency (y-axis). The RGP series of IGBTs is targeted to automotive ignition systems which require blocking voltages from 360 V to 560 V. The next generation of IGBTs are divided in the RGCL series and are focused on low VCEsat with consequent higher switching losses and lower frequency operation. The RGTH series, with lower switching losses, addresses industrial applications like switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and battery chargers. These applications do not require short-circuit capability from the IGBTs. For industrial drive applications, the RGT series is recommended, offering 5 μs SCWT. Finally, the RGS series is automotive qualified, and can be used inside cars in systems such as high-voltage e-compressors. This generation of IGBTs is targeting high-efficiency industrial applications such as single-phase power supplies, photovoltaic inverters, uninterruptable power supplies (UPS), battery chargers, and welding machines. In these applications, very short or no short-circuit withstand time is required. Instead, maximum IGBT performance is requested.
