Infineon FF450R12KT4HOSTA1: High-Performance 450A Dual IGBT Module for Industrial Drives and UPS

The relentless demand for higher efficiency, power density, and reliability in industrial automation and critical power systems continues to drive innovation in power semiconductor technology. At the forefront of this evolution is the Infineon FF450R12KT4HOSA1, a state-of-the-art dual IGBT module engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial drives and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS).

This module integrates two robust IGBTs in a single package, each capable of handling a nominal current of 450A and a high voltage of 1200V. This high current rating makes it exceptionally suitable for high-power three-phase inverter stages found in heavy-duty industrial motor drives, large-scale conveyor systems, and high-capacity UPS units protecting data centers and industrial processes. The 1200V voltage class provides ample headroom for 690VAC industrial mains applications, ensuring stable and safe operation even under demanding grid conditions.

A key feature of the FF450R12KT4HOSA1 is its utilization of Infineon's advanced IGBT7 chip technology. This latest generation of IGBTs delivers a significant leap in performance, characterized by an ultra-low Vce(sat) saturation voltage. This translates directly into reduced conduction losses, which is paramount for achieving high system efficiency. Lower losses mean less heat is generated within the module, easing thermal management requirements and allowing for either more compact system designs or higher output power from the same form factor.

Complementing the low conduction losses are optimized switching characteristics. The IGBT7 technology strikes a careful balance between switching speed and electromagnetic interference (EMI), enabling higher switching frequencies without a prohibitive increase in switching losses. This allows designers to shrink the size of passive components like inductors and capacitors, further increasing the overall power density of the drive or UPS system.

The module is housed in the industry-standard EconoDUAL™ 3 package, which offers a proven and reliable mechanical platform for high-power applications. It features a low-inductance design, which is critical for minimizing overvoltage spikes during fast switching transients, thereby enhancing the reliability and ruggedness of the entire system. The package is designed for easy mounting onto heatsinks, facilitating efficient heat dissipation.

Built for the harsh environments of industrial applications, the module offers a high maximum operating junction temperature (Tvjop) of 175°C. This robust design ensures long-term reliability and operational stability even under extreme load cycles and ambient conditions.
