Best cost-performance is the most important aspect for auxiliary applications in electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. Therefore, Infineon has developed a hybrid of 650V TRENCHSTOP™ 5 AUTO fast-switching IGBT and CoolSiC™ Schottky Diode to enable a cost-efficient performance boost for fast switching automotive applications such as On-Board Charger, PFC, DC-DC and DC-AC.The combination of a best-in-class fast-switching IGBT with a very reliable SiC Diode builds a perfect cost-performance trade-off for hard-switching topologies. Due to the Qrr-free unipolar CoolSiC™ Schottky Diode, the Eon of the IGBT will be reduced significantly over silicon-only solutions. This makes the hybrid the first-choice for system-cost-sensitive hard commutation applications, such as Totem Pole topology in Automotive On-Board Charger applications. This results in better margin for low-complexity design-in activities.
