IGBT packs oust thyristors at higher voltages
A new line of 1700V IGBT copacks and isolated package 1700V IGBT phase leg products incorporate Ixys' proprietary 1800V Sonic-FRD ultrasoft fast-recovery diodes
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.
