Santa Clara, CA and Kyoto, Japan, July 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ROHM Semiconductortodayannounced the RGWxx65C series of hybrid IGBTs with an integrated 650V SiC Schottky barrier diode.

Key Points: 
  • Santa Clara, CA and Kyoto, Japan, July 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ROHM Semiconductortodayannounced the RGWxx65C series of hybrid IGBTs with an integrated 650V SiC Schottky barrier diode.
  • The RGWxx65C series ( RGW60TS65CHR , RGW80TS65CHR , RGW00TS65CHR ) utilizes ROHMs low-loss SiC Schottky barrier diodes in the IGBT feedback block as a freewheeling diode that has almost no recovery energy, thus minimal diode switching loss.
  • At the same time, the diversification of power semiconductors used in various vehicle inverter and converter circuits necessary to configure more efficient systems is currently underway, along with technological innovation of both ultra-low-loss SiC power devices (i.e., SiC MOSFETs, SiC SBDs) and conventional silicon power devices (e.g., IGBTs, Super Junction MOSFETs).
  • To provide effective power solutions for a wide range of applications, ROHM is focusing not only on product and technology development for industry leading SiC power devices, but also for silicon products and driver ICs.
