Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a 1100 V discrete IGBT, “GT30J110SRA,” to be used for home appliances such as IH rice cookers and microwave ovens using voltage resonance circuits with AC100 V input.

The new product GT30J110SRA has improved characteristics, featuring lower loss, short-circuit current suppression, a wider safe operating area and lower radiated emissions than the existing product[1].

Lower loss is offered by reducing turn-off switching loss and diode conduction loss. It's possible to use smaller gate drive resistance than the past by reducing radiation noise. Its typical turn-on time[2] is 0.2 μs, about 20 % reduction from the existing product[1], and its typical turn-off time[2] is 0.33 μs, about 29 % reduction. The diode typical forward voltage[3] is 1.40 V which is about 33 % reduction, helping reduce the power consumption of the equipment.

Short-circuit current suppression is offered by reducing saturation current. This can reduce the short- circuit current of a resonance capacitor during equipment start-up. The peak value of the typical saturation current of the new product is 200 A, about 40 % reduction from the existing product[1], while its collector-emitter saturation voltage is equivalent to that of the existing product[1] for 60 A or lower.

Its wide safe-operating area has been extended on the high voltage side compared with the existing product[1], making the product less likely to break down.

Low radiated emissions[4] are offered by optimizing its chip structure. Its radiated emissions are 35.8 dBμV/m at around 30 MHz where the radiated emissions level is the strongest, about 10 dBμV/m reduction from the existing product[5].
