High-Voltage Blocking Capability

Without Sacrificing Performance

The challenge of improving energy efficiency with heat and thermal regulation, while

keepingcomponentcountlow,justbecameeasier.Fairchild’sFGAxxN65SMDseries

of 650V IGBTs for photovoltaic inverter applications addresses this need—

without sacrificing performance.

Fairchild’s Field Stop IGBT technology enables designers to develop a highly

reliable system design with higher input voltage while offering optimum

performance where low conduction and switching losses are essential.

This functionality means designs benefit from high current handling capability,

positive temperature coefficient, tight parameter distribution and a wide safe

operating area.
