SEMIDUKEN vs Semikron / IXYS (Littelfuse) / Powerex Mapping — Method, Caveats & a Mini-Example

TL;DR

“Cross-mapping” is not just picking look-alike packages with similar voltage/current. Build it as a layered flow: package family → topology → ratings → dynamic behavior → gate drive & thermal. Use official/semi-official cross-reference tools to draft candidates, then validate against datasheets and field notes from engineering forums.

Why mapping matters

  • Supply risk mitigation / 2nd source when series are EOL’d or lead times spike.

  • Platformization: sticking to a package family (e.g., SEMITRANS/SEMiX) streamlines mechanics, cooling and inventory.

Your starter toolkit

  • Fuji Electric Cross-Reference — enter competitor brand/PN/package to get compatible Fuji modules; ideal for initial candidate pools.

  • DigiKey Cross-Reference — parameter-similar alternatives, useful for broadening the search space.

  • Alltransistors IGBT Cross-Ref — filter by Vce, Ic, Qg, tr, Rth and more; great for legacy or niche packages.

Line cards & families (for second-pass validation)

  • Semikron Danfoss IGBT — 600–1700V across SEMITRANS/SEMiX/SKIIP families; confirm generations and ratings.

  • IXYS / Littelfuse guides — family/packaging/typical specs tables, helpful for Semikron → IXYS mapping.

  • Powerex catalogs/datasheets — verify packages and ratings to align with SKM/SEMiX.

Field wisdom (from forums)

  • Same package ≠ true equivalent: chip generations shift Eon/Eoff, Qg, short-circuit ruggedness and SOA; gate resistors and protections usually need recalculation.

  • Validate before mass production: run combined electro-thermal checks and worst-case (short-circuit, surge, dv/dt, di/dt) testing.

7-step mapping flow

  1. Topology (half-bridge / six-pack / 3-level / single switch)

  2. Package family & footprint (SEMITRANS/SEMiX/SKIIP)

  3. Voltage/current pre-filter (600/650/1200/1700V & current bin)

  4. Dynamics & loss (Eon/Eoff, Qg, tr, Rth(j-c), SOA/short-circuit)

  5. Gate-drive conditions (V_GE, Rg, clamping)

  6. Thermal interface & assembly

  7. Prototype → pilot runs (temperature rise and aging)

Mini-example (workflow with SKM75GB12T4)

  • Query Fuji Cross-Ref with “Semikron / SKM75GB12T4” (or filter by SEMITRANS package) to list 1200V, similar-current Fuji candidates; align them to SEMIDUKEN equivalents by package/topology.

  • Use DigiKey Cross-Ref to widen candidates; then confirm package dimensions/ratings with IXYS/Littelfuse and Powerex guides.

  • Fine-filter on Qg/Eon/Eoff/Rth(j-c)/t_sc; tag results as “drop-in / needs Rg tweak / not compatible (pinout or SOA).”
