Introduction

The BSM300GA170DLCHOSA1 is a 7th Generation IGBT Module from Infineon Technologies AG. It is an IGBT (Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor) Module with high power density, high switching speed, and high operating temperature range. This makes the BSM300GA170DLCHOSA1 a suitable transistor for many applications requiring power switching and voltage applied to its Gate.

Application Fields

This IGBT Module can be used in a wide range of applications. These include but are not limited to renewable energy production, solar and wind power systems, electric vehicle drive systems, server and data center power supplies, lighting systems, variable speed drives, electronic stabilizers, and adjustable speed home appliance motors.

Working Principle

The BSM300GA170DLCHOSA1 is a Gate Turn-Off IGBT Module. It essentially works like a bi-directional switch that can either pass current in both directions (ON) or stop the flow of current (OFF). The IGBT operates by creating a thin-film of electrical insulation between the Gate (G) and the Emitter (E) of the transistor. When a voltage is supplied to the Gate, the insulation between the Gate and Emitter increases, which increases the resistance between them. This resistance prevents current from passing through the transistor, effectively turning it off.

The BSM300GA170DLCHOSA1 also contains an anti-parallel diode which helps protect the IGBT from reverse voltages. When a voltage is applied to the Gate of the transistor, the anti-parallel diode activates and prevents the current from flowing in the opposite direction.

Features and Benefits

The BSM300GA170DLCHOSA1 has a number of features and benefits that make it a desirable transistor for many applications. It has a low thermal resistance, which allows it to work at higher temperatures without overheating. The IGBT is also very thin, which means it can fit in smaller spaces with more components per unit area. Additionally, the transistor can operate at high frequencies and high voltages, allowing it to control high power devices with high efficiency.

The BSM300GA170DLCHOSA1 has a high surge current capability and can tolerate reverse voltages up to 1000 volts. It also has a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +180°C and a long life expectancy due to its low voltage drop and low noise.
