Infineon’s new XHP™ 2 CoolSiC™ high-power modules boost efficiency and power density in high-voltage energy systems

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) expands its XHP™ 2 power module portfolio with new variants incorporating CoolSiC™ MOSFETs 2300 V, designed for high-voltage power systems. The new 2300 V class devices support DC-link voltages of up to 1500 V, addressing the industry trend toward higher system voltages. The modules are available in several variants, offering on-resistance (RDS(on)) values ranging from 1 mΩ to 2 mΩ and isolation voltages of 4 kV or 6 kV. By leveraging silicon carbide (SiC) technology, the devices reduce both switching and conduction losses compared to conventional silicon-based solutions. This enables inverters to achieve higher efficiency and power density, or to operate at higher switching frequencies to reduce harmonics and system size. The new XHP 2 CoolSiC MOSFET modules are well suited for renewable energy applications, including wind, photovoltaic and battery storage systems.

Implemented in the XHP 2 package, the modules feature symmetrical switching behavior for easy paralleling in large power converters and offer a standardized platform that enables developers to balance efficiency and performance according to application requirements. All variants integrate Infineon’s proven .XT interconnection technology, enhancing reliability and extending operational lifetime. The modules are also available with a pre-applied thermal interface material, simplifying assembly while supporting consistent thermal performance.

These characteristics translate into measurable system-level benefits. In a wind power demonstration system, a power density of 300 kW/L was achieved, while tests in battery storage systems showed semiconductor losses of less than 0.7 percent of the output power. With this portfolio expansion, Infineon supports scalable solutions for next-generation high-voltage power systems across a wide range of renewable energy applications.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
