Evaluation board for 650 V TRENCHSTOP™ 5 WR5 IGBT for Aircon & EV charger applications
This board is a fast switching, analog-controlled two-channel interleaved 5 KW PFC converter with our TRENCHSTOP™ 5 WR5 IGBT IKW40N65WR5. It is designed to show case the use of WR5 IGBT with high switching frequencies up to 60 kHz in interleaved PFC application, which enables many system benefits such as smaller size PFC choke, overall system size and as well as BOM cost. The board demonstrats a very effective example of design with our low side gate driver 1ED44175 and rapid1 power silicon diode IDW60C65D1.
Summary of Features
Interleaving operation
Adjustable switching frequency
Continuous conduction mode
Average current control
Cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting
Thermal shutdown feature for power semiconductors
Benefits
Achieve twice the fsw and half the ripple current effect than standard boost PFC
Smaller EMI filter
Lower inductor current ripple than single PFC operation
Zero inductor current ripple at 50% duty cycle
TRENCHSTOP™ 5 WR5 IGBT enables high fsw, which allows to place the inductors on board
High efficiency up to 97.8% can be achieved
Easy and quick devices selection
Shorten development period
Reduced system costs
Smaller form factor
Applications
Commercial HVAC
Residential air conditioning: Smart (IoT) and efficient cooling
