Increasing overall system efficiency and saving space in high current applications, a robust general purpose current sensing IC has been introduced by International Rectifier. The IR25750 uses the Rds(on) of a power MOSFET or the VCE(on) of an IGBT to measure current, eliminating the need for large external current sensing resistors.

Significantly improving efficiency and reducing board space and component count, International Rectifier has launched highly versatile, PMBus enabled, CHiL digital PWM controllers and integrated PowIRstage solutions. These are suitable for a variety of mid-range to high-end server, desktop and computing applications.

Delivering benchmark performance for DC-DC power supplies used in telecom applications, the IRFH7185TRPbF is the latest 100V FastIRFET power MOSFET from International Rectifier. The IRFH7185TRPbF utilises the companies’ new 100V FastIRFET process to offer benchmark Rds(on)*Qg figure of merit to deliver higher efficiency and increased power density as well as enhanced system reliability.

Optimised for soft switching applications including induction cooktops and microwave ovens, IR have introduced the IRG7PK35UD1PbF IGBT. The ultra-fast 1400V IGBT expands IR’s family of IGBTs for soft-switching applications to 1400V, extending the power range of induction heating systems.

International Rectifier have announced that they have commenced initial production at its new state-of-the-art ultra-thin wafer processing facility in Singapore (IRSG).  

Suitable for applications including docking stations, portable music instruments and power or active speakers, the IR4312M class D audio amplifier from International Rectifier integrates the power MOSFETs with the audio controller IC into a 7x7mm PQFN package.

  Employing primary side regulation that reduces component count and simplifies design, IR's IRS2983 control IC is designed for single stage Flyback and Buck-Boost topologies used in LED drivers and power supplies.

Particularly suitable for the high temperature and high shock environments found in applications such as oil drilling and mud turbine generators, the HTH27022S and HTM27092S are isolated hybrid hermetic DC/DC converters. International Rectifier's latest power offerings operate over a temperature range from -20 to +165°C and over an input voltage range of 190-400V.

The concept of hybrid and electric vehicles is far from new, but the challenges in the ascendance of the latest generation require new solutions. By Benjamin Jackson Senior Manager, Automotive Power Switch & Power Module, Product Management & Business Development, with International Rectifier.

International Rectifier have today announced the release of a highly-compact and automotive-qualified gate drive IC, the AUIR08152S. Featuring high output current in excess of 10A, the new AUIR08152S gate drive IC shrinks system size and boosts performance in automotive and industrial high-power switching applications.

The Hybrid Electric Vehicle is bringing new challenges and opportunities for power semiconductor packaging, in particular those without bond wires. Here we discuss how using discrete bond wireless building blocks in the CooliR2DIE approach can be used to develop a complete module. By Ben Jackson, Senior Manager, Automotive Power Switch & Power Module Product Management & Business Development, for International Rectifier.

IR have announced today that they have expanded their patent pending µIPM power modules with the introduction of the IRSM808-105MH and IRSM807-105MH. Offering up to a 60 percent smaller footprint than existing 3-phase motor control power ICs, the modules are optimized for high efficiency appliance and light industrial applications with motor power up to 300W.

International Rectifier have today introduced an intelligent power module featuring Power Factor Correction and inverter stage. The new IRAM630-1562F IPM shrinks and simplifies design of energy-efficient appliance and light industrial motor drive applications including air conditioners and washing machines.

Ideal for heavy load automotive applications including electric power steering, braking systems and pumps, the new AUIRF8736M2 DirectFET2 power MOSFET from IR enables superior power density in a compact footprint.

International Rectifier has today introduced the IR3846 35A Point-of-Load integrated voltage regulator for space constrained enterprise power applications including servers, storage and netcom and telecom equipment that require high power density. The IR3846 offers industry leading efficiency greater than 97% peak, and 95% at 35A with the capability to operate directly from 12V at high switching frequency without the need for a heatsink or fan.

International Rectifier has introduced the 25V FastIRFET family of innovative power MOSFETs for DC-DC synchronous buck applications including advanced telecom and netcom equipment, servers, graphic cards, desktop, ultrabook and notebook computers.
