Microsemi showcases intelligent power solutions at PCIM 2016

The company is demonstrating a variety of technology solutions at the show, including:

Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) and Intelligent Power Solutions (IPS) featuring:

• Multi-stroke and multi-burst TVS protection
• Comprehensive uni- and bi-directional plastic TVS devices
• TVS power levels from 600-W to 130-kW
• Excellent IPS performance, efficiency and long-term reliability
• IPS power rating starting at 5 KVA
• IPS design optimised for size, weight, cost and functionality

Silicon Carbide (SiC) solutions featuring:

• Low switching losses
• High power density
• High thermal conductivity
• Reduced heat sink requirements
• High temperature operation
• Reduced circuit size and system costs

Among the industry-specific items on display is an aviation 5kVA Power Core Module (PCM) with an integrated FPGA and Hybrid Power Drive (HPD) stage. The PCM drives the electrical motors used in applications such as primary flight control actuation and landing gear systems.

In addition, Serge Bontemps,technical director, DPG (discrete products group) modules at Microsemi serves as chairperson for the SiC Devices conference session.

Microsemi’s solutions will be showcased in booth 246, hall 7 at the Nuremberg Messe. Bontemps’ SiC Devices session will take place in the venue’s Brussel room.

Bontemps’ SiC Devices session will take place on Tuesday, May 10 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. The Microsemi team will be available at the company’s booth on the exhibition floor during show hours May 10-12.
