Infineon Technologies AG is launching its new CoolSET™ System in Package (SiP), a compact, fully integrated system power controller for highly efficient power delivery of up to 60 W at universal input voltage range of 85 – 305 V AC. Housed in a small SMD package, the high-voltage MOSFET with low R DS(ON) eliminates the need for an external heat sink, reducing system size and complexity.
The CoolSET SiP supports zero-voltage switching (ZVS) flyback operation, which enables low switching losses and low EMI signature, while also enhancing system reliability and robustness. This makes it an ideal solution for applications such as major home appliances and AI servers. In addition, the controller makes it easier for developers to meet stringent energy standards, supporting future-proof power solutions for modern designs.
The CoolSET SiP integrates a 950 V startup-cell, an 800 V avalanche rugged CoolMOS™ P7 SJ MOSFET, a ZVS primary flyback controller, a secondary-side synchronous rectification (SR) controller, and reinforced isolated communication enabled by Infineon’s proprietary CT Link technology. This high level of integration supports the development of more sophisticated end products by significantly reducing the number of discrete components, lowering the bill of materials, and minimizing PCB space requirements. A comprehensive set of advanced protection features simplifies system integration and allows designers more flexibility to optimize their solutions and enhance the overall user experience.
Infineon’s CoolSET System in Package (SiP) product samples are available to order. Infineon will show a demo version at PCIM Europe 2025. Further information is available at https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/promopages/coolset-sip/

The market for electric vehicles continues to gather pace with a strong volume growth of both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The share of electric vehicles produced is expected to see double-digit growth by 2030 with a share of around 45 percent compared to 20 percent in 2024. Infineon Technologies AG is responding to the growing demand for high-voltage automotive IGBT chips by launching a new generation of products. Among these offerings are the EDT3 (Electric Drive Train, 3 rd generation) chips, designed for 400 V and 800 V systems, and the RC-IGBT chips, tailored specifically for 800 V systems. These devices enhance the performance of electric drivetrain systems, making them particularly suitable for automotive applications.
The EDT3 and RC-IGBT bare dies have been engineered to deliver high-quality and reliable performance, empowering customers to create custom power modules. The new generation EDT3 represents a significant advancement over the EDT2, achieving up to 20 percent lower total losses at high loads while maintaining efficiency at low loads. This achievement is due to optimizations that minimize chip losses and increase the maximum junction temperature, balancing high-load performance and low-load efficiency. As a result, electric vehicles using EDT3 chips achieve an extended range and reduce energy consumption, providing a more sustainable and cost-effective driving experience.
“Infineon, as a leading provider of IGBT technology, is committed to delivering outstanding performance and reliability”, says Robert Hermann, Vice President for Automotive High Voltage Chips and Discretes at Infineon Technologies. “Leveraging our steadfast dedication to innovation and decarbonization, our EDT3 solution enables our customers to attain ideal results in their applications.”
The EDT3 chipsets, which are available in 750 V and 1200 V classes, deliver high output current, making them well-suited for main inverter applications in a diverse range of electric vehicles, including battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs). Their reduced chip size and optimized design facilitate the creation of smaller modules, consequently leading to lower overall system costs. Moreover, with a maximum virtual junction temperature of 185°C and a maximum collector-emitter voltage rating of up to 750 V and 1200 V, these devices are well-suited for high-performance applications, enabling automakers to design more efficient and reliable powertrains that can help extend driving range and reduce emissions.
“Infineon, as Leadrive’s primary IGBT chip supplier and partner, consistently provides us with innovative solutions that deliver system-level benefits,” said Dr. Ing. Jie Shen, Founder and General Manager of Leadrive. “The latest EDT3 chips have optimized losses and loss distribution, support higher operating temperatures, and offer multiple metallization options. These features not only reduce the silicon area per ampere, but also accelerate the adoption of advanced packaging technologies.”
The 1200 V RC-IGBT elevates performance by integrating IGBT and diode functions on a single die, delivering an even higher current density compared to separate IGBT and diode chipset solutions. This advancement translates into a system cost benefit, attributed to the increased current density, scalable chip size, and reduced assembly effort.
Infineon’s latest EDT3 IGBT chip technology is now integrated into the HybridPACK™ Drive G2 automotive power module, delivering enhanced performance and capabilities across the module portfolio. This module offers a power range of up to 250 kW within the 750 V and 1200 V classes, enhanced ease of use, and new features such as an integration option for next-generation phase current sensors and on-chip temperature sensing, contributing to system cost improvements.
All chip devices are offered with customized chip layouts, including on-chip temperature and current sensors. Additionally, metallization options for sintering, soldering and bonding are available on request.
The new EDT3 and RC-IGBT devices are already available for sampling. Further information is available at www.infineon.com/edt3

Infineon Technologies AG is developing TRENCHSTOP™ 7 H7 IGBTs in the new DTO247 package, which has the size of two TO247 packages. With a nominal current rating of up to 350 A, they will be the most powerful discrete IGBTs on the market. The new devices are ideal for solar inverters, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and energy storage systems (ESS).
The DTO247 with a single high-current IGBT can replace multiple lower-current IGBTs in standard TO247 packages that are typically connected in parallel. This enables high power density and bridges the gap between TO247-based designs and module architectures. Moreover, the ability to mix and match DTO247-based and standard TO247-based architectures within the same system offers a high degree of flexibility and customization. Integrating DTO247 into the existing TO247 portfolio simplifies the development of cost-effective, scalable architectures.
This reduces design complexity, shortens development time and lowers parallelization effort while improving performance, reliability, and system cost-effectiveness. The portfolio will include H7 IGBTs in 1200 V and 750 V versions, with current ratings of 200 A, 250 A, 300 A, and 350 A. Designed for high-current applications, these devices feature 2-mm-wide leads for optimal conduction, along with 7 mm pin-to-pin clearance and 10 mm creepage distance for enhanced safety and reliability. Additionally, an integrated Kelvin emitter pin provides faster and more efficient switching performance.
Infineon intends to continuously expand its DTO247 portfolio, with plans to include CoolSiC™ MOSFETs in a half-bridge configuration. These devices target to be pin-to-pin compatible with similar products on the market.
First engineering samples of the 200 A and 350 A variants of the TRENCHSTOP™ 7 H7 IGBTs in the DTO247 package are available now. Volume production is scheduled for mid-2026.
