STGP7NC60HD Discrete Semiconductor Products

The STGP7NC60HD is a next-generation high voltage insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) optimized for fast switching over a wide temperature range and with low conduction losses. This IGBT provides robust body diode operation, low EMI emissions, and excellent thermal performance. It is suitable for applications such as server power supplies, energy storage systems, UPS systems, motor drives, railway traction converters, and renewable energy management systems.

Single IGBTs are versatile and powerful switches. They are frequently used to cut off, or conduct, the flow of current for a wide range of applications, including industrial, automotive and communication systems. The STGP7NC60HD single IGBT has the following key characteristics:

• The STGP7NC60HD IGBT is equipped with an active cell design that reduces the losses associated with current distribution, enabling fast shifting of signals.
• It is capable of switching at frequencies up to 30 kHz and offers a typical turn-off time of 75 ns, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
• It has a low gate level threshold of 6.5 V and a 1.5 A peak gate current.
• The IGBT is capable of supporting a high voltage of up to 600 V and can withstand a surge voltage of up to 790 V.
• It is housed in a 4-pin PowerDual package that provides a low thermal resistance and excellent thermal sensitivity.

The STGP7NC60HD IGBT functions by controlling the flow of current through the two main terminals - the collector and emitter. When a negative voltage is applied to the base terminal, the current between the collector and emitter is cut off. This is known as the \'cut-off state\' and is used to turn off power to the switch. When a positive voltage is applied to the base satellite, the collector and emitter terminals are connected, allowing current to flow between the two. This is known as the \'saturation state\' and is used to turn on the switch and control the current.

In summary, the STGP7NC60HD is a next-generation single IGBT designed for fast switching applications. It is capable of supporting up to 600 V and can switch up to 30 kHz, making it suitable for a variety of high-speed applications. The 4-pin PowerDual package offers a low thermal resistance and excellent thermal sensitivity, enabling the IGBT to operate over an extended temperature range.
