    PFC stage The EVAL-IKA15N65ET6 board contains a boost PFC stage to reduce the reactive power and total harmonic distortion (THD) in the grid. The PFC function on the evaluation board is performed by TRENCHSTOP™ 5 WR6 IGBT IKWH30N65WR6 combined with the silicon power diode IDW30E65D1.
  • Page 21: Current Sensing

    TLI4971 is a high-precision sensor for AC and DC measurements with analog interface and two fast overcurrent detection outputs. Infineon's well-established and robust monolithic Hall technology enables accurate and highly linear measurement of currents with full scale up to ±120 A. Negative effects such as saturation and hysteresis that are common in open loop sensors using flux concentration techniques are thus avoided.
