Induction cooking ranges must be efficient, safe and provide friendly user interfaces. Resonant-switching topologies are typically used for the power converter in these appliances, as they also help achieve lower levels of electro-magnetic interferences (EMI).
We have specifically developed trench-gate field-stop IGBTs and diodes that, together with a selection of high-voltage gate drivers and high-performance STM32 microcontrollers, are ideal for use in high-efficiency converters. ST also offers environmental sensors and the LED and LCD display drivers, touchscreen controllers and proximity and sensors required for touch or touch-less user interfaces.
