CM200RX-12A

Introduction

The CM200RX-12A is a type of module produced by Toshiba, incorporating IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) technology.

IGBTs are used in a wide range of applications due to their ability to switch high-power currents, allowing for the rapid and efficient control of electric motors, machine tools and other large electric loads.

The CM200RX-12A is a 1200V, 200A module, and is suitable for inverter circuits and snubberless power supplies in many fields.

Application Fields

The CM200RX-12A is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including:

• Electric vehicle powertrains.
• UPSs.
• Power regeneration systems.
• Motion control systems.
• Solar and wind power conversion systems.
• Servo drives.
• Industrial robots.
• Electric machines.

How CM200RX-12A Works

The CM200RX-12A is a multi-chip IGBT module, consisting of three separate chips that together form the entire module.

• The control chip sits at the bottom of the module, and controls the overall operation of the IGBT.
• The power MOSFET chip sits in the middle of the module. This chip acts as a switch, allowing the current to flow when the IGBT is on.
• The IGBT chip sits at the top of the module. This chip is a semi-conductor device that is capable of switching high-power currents.

The CM200RX-12A module utilises a voltage-controlled insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) to control the flow of current. When the voltage across the gate exceeds the threshold voltage, the IGBT becomes conductive and allows current to flow through the circuit. When the voltage falls below the threshold voltage, the IGBT becomes non-conductive and blocks the current.

Summary

The CM200RX-12A is a 1200V, 200A module, which is suitable for a wide range of applications including electric vehicle powertrains, UPSs, and industrial robots. The module is composed of three separate chips - a control chip, a power MOSFET chip and an IGBT chip - which all work together to control the flow of current.
