Hybrid SiC Power Modules from Mitsubishi Electric for
High-frequency Switching Applications
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation introduces new hybrid silicon carbide (SiC) power
semiconductor modules for high-frequency switching applications. These latest
additions to the NFH series of power semiconductor modules enable design
engineers to reduce electric power losses by 40%. Featuring SiC Schottky
Barrier Diodes (SBD) and Silicon IGBTs, the modules achieve high efficiency,
downsizing and weight reduction in inverters. The Modules are designed for
typical switching frequencies of more than 20 kHz.
The new hybrid SiC power modules are packaged as 2in1 configurations with a
rating
of
1200V
and
currents
of
100A
(CMH100DY-24NFH),
150A
(CMH150DY-24NFH), 200A (CMH200DU-24NFH), 300A (CMH300DU-24NFH),
400A (CMH400DU-24NFH) or 600A (CMH600DU-24NFH). All module packages
are compatible with Mitsubishi Electric’s conventional pure-silicon based power
modules. The 100A and 150A modules, which are integrated in a package with a
footprint of 48mm x 94mm, offer a reduced internal inductance which is about
30% lower than in the conventional modules. The 200A and 300A modules’
footprint measures 62mm x 108mm, while the 400A and 600A modules require
just 80mm x 110mm baseplate size. Typical applications are e. g. uninterruptible
power supplies (UPS) and medical device power supplies.
