Vishay Intertechnology will be showcasing its broad portfolio of passive and semiconductor solutions at the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC) 2025 in Atlanta (March 16-20).
The solutions address the latest trends in power electronics — from energy harvesting, electric vehicle (EV) powertrains, and battery technologies to high efficiency power conversion for data centers.
Taking centre stage will be Vishay's newly released 1200 V MaxSiC series silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, which deliver on-resistances of 45 mΩ, 80 mΩ, and 250 mΩ in standard packages for industrial applications, with custom products also possible.
In addition, Vishay will provide a portfolio roadmap for 650 V to 1700 V SiC MOSFETs with on-resistances ranging from 10 mΩ to 560 Ω.
Vishay's SiC platform is based on a proprietary MOSFET technology — enabled through the company's acquisition of MaxPower Semiconductor — which will address market demands in traction inverter, photovoltaic energy storage, on-board charger, and charging station applications.
Vishay will be highlighting high energy PTC and NTC inrush current limiting solutions from the company's most recent acquisition: Ametherm. They include a PTC matrix capable of withstanding 1500 VDC and 1125 J.
These products are well-suited to growing industries and applications, such as robotic automation, industrial power supplies and motor drives, power distribution for server and AI cloud computing, LED lighting systems, medical devices, imaging equipment, electric vehicle charging, and alternative energy infrastructure.
Vishay will present a variety of product-focused demonstrations highlighting IHLE series low profile, high current inductors featuring integrated E-field shields; the THJP ThermaWick Thermal Jumper; the pulse performance of MELF, CRCW / CRCW-HP thick film, and MCS, MCU, and MCW thin film chip resistors; and the thermal capabilities of the PCAN and RCP high power thin and thick film resistors.
In addition, automotive-focused application demonstrations will include:
- An intelligent battery shunt built on WSBE Power Metal Strip® resistors, with low TCR and a CAN FD / USB interface for 400 V / 800 V systems
- A 48 V eFuse featuring TrenchFET® MOSFETs designed to handle a continuous current up to 100 A and operate continuously at maximum current with less than 14 W of losses
- A 1 kW, 48 V / 12 V buck-boost converter featuring two module power stages — each rated for 500 W — in a compact form factor
Additional Vishay passive components on display at APEC 2025 will include the IHDM series of high current, edge-wound through hole inductors with continuous operation to +180 °C; hybrid planar and integrated transformers.
Highlighted Vishay semiconductor solutions will consist of the SiC967 microBRICK synchronous buck regulator with integrated power MOSFETs and inductor and a wide input voltage range of 4.5 V to 60 V and scalable microBUCK voltage regulators that deliver high efficiency.
