Ixys has developed a novel IGBT gate driver hybrid in a single-inline package, mountable on top of a PCB.
Solar cells power up portable electronics
A new range of high efficiency solar cell arrays and cards are designed specifically for charging batteries in portable electronic devices.
Ixys' proven HiPerFET process yields power MOSFETs with a fast intrinsic body diode for low Qrr and enhanced dV/dt ruggedness.
Ixys' HiPerFETs are targeted at hard switching inverter and power supply applications.
These products are currently finding significant use in demanding IT and telecomms switch-mode power supplies that require efficient switching and energy conversion in tight enclosures, as well as applications where high reliability is critical.
The PolarHT line is available to support applications requiring voltage ratings from 100 to 300V, ranging across a broad spectrum of consumer, industrial and automotive markets.
Examples include telecomms switch mode power supplies and motor drives for the industrial market, plasma display and audio amplifiers for consumer applications and ignition systems and electric vehicles for the automotive market.
These devices bridge the gap between high voltage technology and low voltage Trench MOSFETs.
They provide significantly more ruggedness and safe operating area then trench power MOSFETs.
PolarHV starts at 500 and 600V, with extension to higher voltages planned.
Ixys offers one of the broadest ranges of current ratings, with product extending from 1 to 80A and above.
This higher voltage product line brings the same benefits of enhanced performance and cost-effectiveness to core market requirements in the middle voltage ranges.
Example applications are offline switch-mode power supplies of all sizes and applications, from small wall socket style supplies to applications ranging to rack mount power systems.
Products will be offered in various standard packages, including the full spectrum of surface mount and discrete packages (D-Pak to TO-268, TO-220 to the SOT-227).
In addition, versions will be offered in Ixys proprietary Isoplus packages providing UL approved 2500V isolation with superior thermal cycling and thermal performance, ISOPLUS220 and ISOPLUS247.
