Powerex NFM-Series Closes the Gap in
Higher Frequency Applications

Optimized for applications in frequencies of operation between
20 and 30 kHz, the new NFM-Series not only fills a requirement
in medium to high frequency applications but also does so with
the only single device of its type on the market.
Standard industrial IGBT modules are optimized for hard
switched PWM inverters with carrier frequencies less than
approximately 20kHz. With these devices, low V
However, some applications, e.g., induction heating, require a
higher frequency (30kHz to 60kHz) operation where low ESW
is most important.
In 2003, Powerex introduced
NFH-Series to meet the high
frequency requirements needed
in applications including power
supplies for medical equipment,
such as CT and MRI; inverter
type welders; and UPS for
telecom. The design of NFH
incorporated an optimized fifth
generation CSTBT (Carrier Stored
Trench Gate Bipolar Transistor)

wide range of voltage and current (100A to 400A/600V, 100A to
600A/1200V), NFH features superior turn-off switching energy,
providing as little as 20% of the turn-off switching loss when
compared to competitive devices.
NFH opened up new possibilities for high frequency applications,
providing 30-60 kHz operation. However, a gap still existed for
medium frequency applications where operation between 20
and 30 kHz is required. Powerex has now filled that gap with
the introduction of the NFM-Series IGBT.
Rated at 1200V, the NFM-Series offers low loss and hard
switching at 20 to 30 kHz. Duals are available from 100 to 300
amperes in a 108 x 62 mm mounting hole package while singles
are available in the higher current range of 400 to 600 amperes
with the same mounting. The single configuration on this kind of
device is the only one currently available on the market.
The turn-off contribution to total losses is smaller in applications
having hard turn-on switching and this leads to a somewhat
slower optimization point than the standard high frequency
device. The selected optimization for the new module (NFM-
Series) is shown below. The new device has lower ESW
the standard speed device and lower V
frequency optimized device. In addition, for hard turn-on
applications, a new free wheeling diode was developed for the
NFM-Series to reduce diode recovery and turn-on losses. The
new diode uses a shallow P-I-N junction structure formed using
epitaxial silicon wafer material to achieve fast recovery with
minimal tail current.
