Original CM100RL 24NF IGBT Power Module Discrete Semiconductor Modules Used IPM Type Product Category

1. A power module or power electronic module provides the physical containment for several power components, usually power semiconductor devices.

2. High power IGBTs (here a 3300V, 1200A switch) are obtained by connecting tens of dies in parallel in a power module.

3. Opened IGBT module; different semiconductor dies are connected via wire bonds while external connectors are connected to lead-frame structures.

4. Module Topologies: Besides modules that contain a single power electronic switch (as MOSFET, IGBT, BJT, Thyristor, GTO or JFET) or diode, classical power modules contain multiple semiconductor dies that are connected to form an electrical circuit of a certain structure, called topology. Modules also contain other components such as ceramic capacitors to minimize switching voltage overshoots and NTC thermistors to monitor the module's substrate temperature.

1. Power modules are used for power conversion equipment such as industrial motor drives, embedded motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies, AC-DC power supplies and in welder power supplies.

2. Power modules are also widely found in inverters for renewable energies as wind turbines, solar power panels, tidal power plants and electric vehicles (EVs).
