An IXGA48N60A3 is a chip manufactured by Infinion and is part of its Instant-on(TM) family of transistors. This IGBT is part of Infinion\'s wider range of products aimed at the automotive, mobile, industrial and aerospace industries and can be used for switching and regulating voltage and current as well as for driving loads. In this article, we explore the application field and working principle of the IXGA48N60A3.

Application Field

The IXGA48N60A3 is a single IGBT transistor, meaning it can be used in applications requiring low to medium voltage (<650V) switching. owing to the desirable characteristics of IGBTs, the IXGA48N60A3 is suitable for applications requiring fast switching, low EMI emissions and low switching losses. Due to its wide application in industrial and automotive systems, the IXGA48N60A3 has become a popular choice for many engineering projects.

The IXGA48N60A3 is also suitable for use in machines such as induction motors, UPSs and home appliances (washing machines and refrigerators). As such, the IXGA48N60A3 is an ideal solution for a variety of switching requirements, making it a useful device even in harsh environments such as those found in the automotive and aerospace industry.

Working Principle

The IXGA48N60A3 is a high-speed vertical IGBT with excellent switching performance; the transistor enables both high and low side switching with dedicated low on-resistance. The IXGA48N60A3 is designed to be used as a power control device, and it can quickly control the voltage, current and power of high-speed switching applications. Moreover, it can reduce EMI and reduce power consumption as well as providing robust protection against overvoltage and overcurrent conditions.

The IXGA48N60A3 is a single IGBT, meaning it consists of two separate transistors in a single package. The first is a PNP type transistor, and the second is a NPN type. The two transistors are placed atop one another with the NPN being located directly above the PNP. This is then sandwiched between two electrically insulated gate dielectrics which are connected to the gate terminals.

The IXGA48N60A3 works by taking incoming voltage and current, and then converting this into a form of power suitable for switching applications. It also has the ability to control output voltage and current, ensuring that the correct amount of power is provided to the specified device or load. To control the output voltage and current, the three terminals of the IXGA48N60A3 are used (gate, emitter and collector).

When voltage is applied to the gate terminal, it generates a field which turns the NPN and PNP transistors on and off. This enables the IXGA48N60A3 to switch current flow in both directions, thereby regulating output voltage and current.

The IXGA48N60A3 has a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +150°C, meaning it is suitable for use in a diverse range of environments. In addition, it has a maximum current rating of 6A and a maximum voltage of 48V, making it a suitable choice for applications requiring switchable power up to 48V.

Overall, the IXGA48N60A3 from Infinion is an integrated device which combines excellent switching performance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, high frequency operation, fast switching and low EMI emissions. This makes it an ideal solution for many switching and regulating applications.
