Thyristors have dominated this application for many decades. Nowadays thyristors as well as IGBTs are used in HVDC systems and FACTS to fulfill different needs.
The latest most price-performance generation of Infineon CoolSiC™ Schottky diode 650 V G6 offers the best efficiency per dollar.
Infineon provides a comprehensive portfolio of high-power products for Power Conversion, to help its customers to achieve their aims.
Energy means life: It heats houses, powers cars and lights megacities. The global appetite for energy is voracious, while resources are dwindling.
Rapid 1 and 2 power silicon diodes complement the existing high power 600V/650V diodes, filling the gap between the SiC diodes and emitter-controlled diodes.
Infineon`s Rapid 1 diode family, with 1.35V temperature-stable forward voltage (V F), ensures the lowest conduction losses and by means of soft recovery keeps EMI emissions to a minimum.
The Rapid 2 diode family is designed for applications switching between 40 kHz and 100 kHz by offering low reverse recovery charge (Q rr) and time (t rr) to minimize the reverse conduction times attributed to the power switch turn-on losses and thus providing maximum efficiency.
