A new 1000V/60A IGBT delivers superior switching and conduction characteristics as well as avalanche ruggedness in induction heating (IH) applications.

A new 1000V/60A IGBT delivers superior switching and conduction characteristics as well as avalanche ruggedness in induction heating (IH) applications, including IH induction cookers, microwave ovens and rice jars Combining Fairchild's proprietary trench technology and non-punchthrough (NPT) technology, the new FGL60N100BNTD achieves exceptional avalanche immunity in its class

The device's avalanche immunity protects the IGBT from field failure caused by off-state breakdown avalanche and, therefore, increases reliability in IH applications.

The FGL60N100BNTD features switching speeds optimised for IH applications (typically 130ns) and low saturation voltage to limit conduction losses (2.5V at 60A collector current).

A built-in fast recovery diode on the FGL60N100BNTD simplifies circuit design and reduces component count.

"The rugged and reliable FGL60N100BNTD is the only product with avalanche immunity in the 900-1000V IGBT market specifically targeting IH appliances", said Taehoon Kim, Vice-President of Fairchild's High Power Product Group.

The FGL60N100BNTD is packaged in a TO-264.

This lead-free product meets or exceeds the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020B and is compliant with the European Union requirements, which will take effect in 2005.
