   Increasing component reliability by Eliminating solder interfaces
By Uwe SCHEUERMANN [View]
[Download]

Abstract: After the considerable progress in power semiconductor devices with respect to current density and maximum operation temperature, the packaging technology is shifted more and more into the focus of attention. Starting from the classical base plate module design, the presentation will discuss the limitations of lifetime under cyclical thermal stress. Advanced module architectures to overcome these limitations will be presented and improved interconnection techniques will be introduced.

   Innovative Output filters for frequency Converters
By RenÃ© OSTHOLD [View]

Abstract: With its new SineFormerâ„¢ EPCOS is introducing a fully new output filter technology for frequency converters. In contrast to conventional filter topologies the new SineFormerâ„¢ simultaneously converts the phase-to-phase voltage into a sinusoidal signal, damps the common mode currents and also forms the conductor-to-ground voltage to sine shaped voltage. This offers users a number of key benefits. Voltage peaks are harmful for the motor windings are suppressed and bearing currents are reduced to negligible levels, thus significantly increasing the operating life time of the motors. The most important benefit is the cost savings. Because SineFormerâ„¢ practically eliminates EMC problems. Motors protected by the new filter do not require expensive shielded motor cables or special cable ducts.

   Intelligent IGBT - Drivers with Exceptional Driving and Protection Features
By Robert HEMMER [View]
[Download]

Abstract: The family of intelligent IPS-drivers was invented to drive high power IGBT modules with blocking voltages up to 6,500V. They may be used use in industrial drives, power supplies, transportation, renewable energies as well as induction heating applications. The IPS- drivers decrease the switching losses and offer a reliable protection for high power IGBT modules. Varying the software enables an easy adaptation to specific applications. The main features of the IPS-drivers are: variable gate ON and OFF resistors, advanced desaturation and di/dt protections, active feedback clamping, high peak output current and output power, short signal transition times, and multiple soft shut down.
