Fairchild Introduces Discrete IGBTs for Hybrid Electric Vehicles and Pure Electric Vehicle Applications

Sunnyvale, California – May 19, 2016 — Fairchild (NASDAQ: FCS), the world's leading provider of high-performance power semiconductor solutions, today announced new products for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrids New discrete IGBTs and diodes and dies for electric vehicles (PHEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) expand their growing portfolio of automotive-grade semiconductor solutions. These IGBTs and diodes are ideal for traction inverters, which are the core components of all HEVs, PHEVs and EVs, which convert the battery's electrical energy from direct current to the three-phase alternating current required by the vehicle's drive motor.

These new discrete IGBTs and diodes feature advanced third-generation field-stop IGBT technology and fast soft recovery diodes that meet automotive-grade standards with additional features and options. By combining these technologies, features and choices, Fairchild offers extremely tight parameter distribution for products for discrete and die solutions.

Sergio Fissore, vice president and general manager of Fairchild's automotive business unit, said: "For those car manufacturers and their suppliers who want to manufacture the traction inverters that best meet their specific performance, reliability and flexibility requirements, our points Vertical IGBTs and diodes and dies are very attractive options."

Fairchild's new FGY160T65SPD_F085 and FGY120T65SPD_F085 discrete IGBTs are ideal for traction inverters and other HEV/PHEV/EV power system components that require high power density and high reliability.

Fabio Necco, director of product line at Fairchild H/EV, said: "The additional increase in durability will be additionally reviewed in the final test to meet the needs of its specific traction inverter application, and is suitable for 100% finished products, except for existing solutions. In addition to the best 650V breakdown voltage of its class above 50V, this advancement provides further protection against electrical overvoltages."

In addition to improving performance and reliability, these discrete IGBTs also increase flexibility, allowing designers to customize their products. Designers simply add IGBTs in parallel to achieve the desired system power rating while also improving the overall efficiency of their traction inverter or other power system component design.

In addition, Fairchild also announced that it can provide its PCGA200T65NF8, PCRKA20065F8, PCGA300T65DF8 and PCRKA30065F8 IGBT die and diode die for automotive manufacturers and automotive parts suppliers to manufacture their own high-performance traction inverters and other motor drive components. Power module.

The IGBT die is also suitable for integrated monolithic current sensing and temperature sensing for extra protection.

IGBT dies can be customized to meet special requirements. For example, change the gate pad size and position to accommodate different aluminum wire diameters, adjust die size, and customize breakdown voltage and other electrical parameters. A solderable top metal type is also available, which is suitable for advanced leadless assembly techniques such as welding technology for sintering.

Fairchild's portfolio will also include a new automotive-grade module that integrates IGBTs, freewheeling diodes, and gate drivers into an electrical isolation package. The module is currently in development and is ideal for auxiliary motors such as oil pumps and air conditioner compressors. Control application, which is the smallest solution on the market, simplifies power stage design and assembly and improves EMI performance. Sample verification of the power module is currently underway and is expected to be in volume production in June.
