Infineon is set to debut its HybridPack Drive G2 Fusion, a power module combining silicon and silicon carbide (SiC), at next month’s electronica 2024 trade show. Intended for traction inverters in the e-mobility sector, the plug-and-play module balances performance and cost for optimized inverter design.
SiC offers higher thermal conductivity, breakdown voltage, and switching speed than silicon, making it more efficient but also more expensive. The new module reduces SiC content per vehicle while maintaining performance and efficiency at a lower cost. Infineon reports that system suppliers can achieve near full-SiC efficiency with just 30% SiC and 70% silicon.
The HybridPack Drive G2 Fusion delivers up to 220 kW in the 750-V class, ensuring high reliability across a temperature range of -40°C to +175°C with enhanced thermal conductivity. Infineon’s CoolSiC MOSFET and silicon IGBT EDT3 technologies support a single or dual gate driver, facilitating the transition from full silicon or full SiC inverters to fusion inverters.
