Dynex Semiconductor has released the first products in a range of high-efficiency, high-energy, phase control thyristors (SCRs). The thyristors (SCRs) incorporate process improvements and a new emitter design to achieve all round improved performance. The new designs offer up to 30% more current carrying capacity in a given package.
The dynamic turn-on and turn-off performance is such that switching losses are significantly reduced.
The improved electrical characteristics can be used to reduce cooling system costs or increase the power density of a system.
The first release is an array of 30 thyristors (SCRs) ranging in size from 38 to 88mm and in voltages from 2200 to 8500V.
These devices will eventually replace and extend the existing product line.
All the products are rated at full repetitive voltage from -40 to +125C.
Samples of the DCR5450W22, DCR4100W42, DCR2270Y65, DCR2400B85 and DCR1840Y85 are now available.
These products offer current ratings of 5450A at 2200V through to 1840A at 8500V.
All devices are offered in standard ceramic packages.
The packages can optionally accommodate internal arc shields for improved case rupture rating.
The i2 thyristor (SCR) range will be extended to larger diameters and higher voltages later this year.
