Magnachip Targets Electric Vehicle Market with New 1200V and 650V IGBTs Featuring Advanced Field Stop Trench Technology
- Magnachip launches high-performance IGBTs for EV PTC heaters
- IGBTs offer minimum short-circuit withstand time of 10µs
- Thick heat sink allows for excellent heat dissipation
- Company aims to meet diverse needs of EV market
- None.
- Magnachip commences full-scale mass production of 1200V and 650V IGBTs for PTC heaters of electric vehicles
Built upon Magnachip's cutting-edge Field Stop Trench technology, the newly introduced AMBQ40T120RFRTH (1200V) and AMBQ40T65PHRTH (650V) offer a minimum short-circuit withstand time of 10µs. This remarkable level of ruggedness enables PTC heaters to be protected from a permanent failure in the event of overcurrent conditions.
Furthermore, the thick and large heat sink of the TO-247 package allows these new IGBTs to excel in heat dissipation. Therefore, these IGBTs are well-suited for applications requiring high power and efficiency, such as both the upper and lower sides of power management integrated circuits of PTC heaters.
"Since early last year, Magnachip has released high-performance automotive power solutions that adhere to the stringent AEC-Q101 standards," said YJ Kim, CEO of Magnachip. "Now that we have successfully released our first IGBT products for EVs, we will continue to expand our product lineup to meet the diverse needs of the EV market and cater to the demands of our valued customers."
