Infineon to Establish New Entity in China Meeting the Growing Demand for Energy Efficiency and Electromobility Solutions
Infineon Technologies AG today opened a new facility in China called Infineon Integrated Circuits (Beijing) Co., Ltd., located in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area. In addition to sales and marketing, application R&D and central functions, the new entity houses an IGBT stack manufacturing facility and a technical center for automotive solutions. IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) are power semiconductors used to driv...
Research for Energy-Efficient Cooking; Electricity Savings of up to 25 Percent
Three German partners from industry and research are joining forces in a quest to curb one of the worst energy guzzlers in the household and to introduce energy efficiency to the kitchen. Use of the induction cooking method – where only pots and pans are heated and not the stovetop – could save up to 25 percent electricity. Today, about ten to 15 percent of German households are equipped with an induction cooker. The initial price difference ...
Freescale Semiconductor and Fuji Electric partner to increase efficiency of hybrid electric vehicles
Freescale Semiconductor has entered into a strategic alliance with Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. to collaborate on insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) technology and products for hybrid electric and electric vehicles (HEV and EV). Working with Fuji Electric, Freescale will add high-power IGBT products to its existing portfolio of solutions for electronic powertrain applications, market those products to its automotive customers and define and prod...
Power Semiconductor Assemblies offer range of electronic options
Featuring voltages from 100-20,000 V and currents ranging from 30-3,000 A, Power Semiconductor Assemblies come in single, double, or 3-phase circuit configurations. Units are also available as full bridge or as series stacks and AC or static switches. Bus bars, gate firing circuits, fuses, snubbers, blowers, and fans are optional. Typical applications include power supplies, AC/DC and static converters, AC phase controllers, UPS, and motor star...
SEMITOP® 4 power modules offer high power and high reliability
Up to 40kVA inverter power Isolated three-phase IGBT and CIB modules Up to 200A @ 600V and 100A @ 1200V
Semikron introduces IGBT and rectifier modules with new SPT+ chip technology
Lower switching losses coupled with smaller chip sizes Common terminal height for easy bus-bar connection Wide range of IGBT and input rectifier ratings
Semikron boosts reliability of intelligent power modules
Semikron has introduced a range of accelerated burn-in tests for its SKiiP intelligent power modules (IPMs), intended to ensure high levels of reliability in inverter applications in wind power and other systems. These tests, offered only by Semikron, are made possible by the high level of integration of the modules – power semiconductor, gate driver, current sensors, protective functions and matched cooling are all integrated within the SKiiP....
Volume production start for SEMIKRON SKiiP 4 – the most powerful Intelligent Power Modules in the market
SEMIKRON has announced volume production of its SKiiP 4 range of Intelligent Power Modules. The new modules outperform all other IGBT modules in the market in terms of power density and feature an integrated driver and heat sink. The power silicon in SKiiP 4 modules can be operated at a junction temperature of up to 175°C.
IGBT modules have internal inductance of just 15nH
SEMIKRON has introduced a low-inductance 1200V SEMITRANS IGBT module series for use in AC/DC converters in the 20 – 300kW power range. These modules are available with Fuji fifth-generation V-IGBT chips as an alternative to IGBT4 chips. The very low 15nH module inductance offers two advantages: 50V higher DC link voltage than in competitor modules, thanks to the lower switching overvoltages; plus faster and softer IGBT switching producing lower...
SEMIKRON intelligent power module is half the size of standard 1200V IPMs
The MiniSKiiP IPM from SEMIKRON sets a new benchmark for power density in 1200V Intelligent Power Modules. At a weight of 55g and a volume of 49cm³, this module is lighter and more compact than any other IPM in this power class. The design yields optimum switching properties with regard to electromagnetic interference. The module was developed for inverter applications up to 15kW.
