The IXBT42N300HV is a high-voltage BiMOSFET transistor designed for applications such as laser generators, capacitor discharge circuits, and protection circuits. It is packaged in a TO-268HV, weighing 4 g, with a collector-emitter blocking voltage of 3000 V and a continuous collector current of 42 A at 110°C. The device has a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 2.5 V to 3.0 V at 42 A and 15 V gate-emitter voltage, and a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. It features a reverse-bias safe operating area up to 1500 V and a forward-bias safe operating area with clamped inductive load capability. The thermal resistance from junction to case is 0.25 °C/W. The part meets AEC-Q200 and RoHS standards and includes an integrated intrinsic diode for commutation protection. The TO-247HV variant shares identical electrical characteristics but weighs 6 g and has a slightly lower thermal resistance of 0.21 °C/W.
BiMOSFETs are devices, which have combined strengths of MOSFETs and IGBTs. Non-epitaxial construction and new fabrication processes were used in making BiMOSFETs a great success.These high voltage devices are ideal for parallel operation due to the positive voltage temperature coefficient of both of its saturation voltage, and the forward voltage drop of its intrinsic diode. Furthermore, this “free” intrinsic body diode serves as a protection diode, providing an alternative path for the inductive load current during device turn-off, preventing high Ldi/dt voltage transients from inflicting damage to the device. Advantages: Low gate drive requirements Space savings (eliminates multiple series-parallel lower voltage, lower current rated devices) Easy to mount Free intrinsic body diode High power density High frequency operation Low conduction losses MOS gate turn on for drive simplicity 4 kV electrical isolation
