Electric mobility is becoming more accessible to a broader market by balancing affordability, high performance, and efficiency. In this context, Infineon Technologies AG has introduced the HybridPACK™ Drive G2 Fusion, a new power module designed for traction inverters in the e-mobility sector. The module uniquely combines silicon and silicon carbide (SiC) technologies, offering a plug-and-play solution that achieves an ideal mix of performance and cost efficiency. This innovation provides system suppliers and vehicle manufacturers with more flexibility, allowing them to optimize inverters by utilizing a combination of SiC and silicon, effectively reducing costs without compromising on efficiency. By incorporating up to 30 percent SiC and 70 percent silicon, the module delivers nearly the same efficiency as a full SiC solution but at a much lower price point.
The HybridPACK Drive G2 Fusion power module also expands Infineon’s HybridPACK Drive portfolio, providing up to 220 kW in the 750 V class. It boasts improved thermal conductivity and reliability over a wide temperature range, allowing it to function efficiently in various vehicle components without complex reconfigurations. Infineon’s combination of its advanced CoolSiC™ technology and silicon IGBT EDT3 technology enables seamless integration with single or dual gate drivers, making it easy for manufacturers to transition from full silicon or full SiC inverters to this hybrid solution. This new development highlights Infineon’s leadership in the automotive semiconductor space, providing solutions that cater to the growing demand for more efficient, cost-effective electric mobility systems.
