GP800DCM18
Hi-Reliability Chopper Switch IGBT Module
DS5363-3.0 January 2001
FEATURES
■ High Thermal Cycling Capability
■ 800A Per Module
■ Non Punch Through Silicon
■ Isolated MMC Base with AlN Substrates
APPLICATIONS
■ High Reliability Inverters
■ Motor Controllers
■ Traction Drives
■ Resonant Converters
The Powerline range of high power modules includes dual
and single switch configurations covering voltages from 600V to
3300V and currents up to 4800A.
The GP800DCM18 is an1800V, n channel enhancement
mode, insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) chopper module.
The IGBT has a wide reverse bias safe operating area (RBSOA)
ensuring reliability in demanding applications. This device is
optimised for traction drives and other applications requiring high
thermal cycling capability or very high reliability.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS - PER ARM
Stresses above those listed under 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' may cause permanent damage to the device. In extreme
conditions, as with all semiconductors, this may include potentially hazardous rupture of the package. Appropriate safety
precautions should always be followed. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Ratings may affect device reliability.
