STMicroelectronics has added intelligent power modules to its product range serving appliances and other low-power motor-drive applications to give customers a simple and compact solution for AC motor drive applications. The competitively priced modules integrate control functions, IGBT switches, and value-added features to enable smaller, more reliable, and lower-cost control units.

Fairchild Semiconductor has been awarded the Best Semiconductor Vendor in Italy for 2009 from Assodel. This award recognizes companies that show continued commitment and proactively strive to develop partnerships with distribution partners. This is the second year that Fairchild has been recognized by Assodel, receiving the Best Manufacturer Award in the power category for 2008.

Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced PDP-SPM power modules specifically optimized for driving plasma display panels. These integrated modules are said to be superior to discrete solutions when it comes to simplifying designs, easing manufacturing time and costs and improving system performance. Fairchild’s PDP-SPM offering consists of two Smart Power Modules: the FVP12030 energy-recovery circuit module and the FVP18030 sustain circuit module....

Fairchild Semiconductor’s 600V/30A IGBT, the FGH30N60LSD, addresses the need for low conduction losses in low-frequency (50~400Hz) industrial applications such as solar inverters, welding machines and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Featuring extremely low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) , Typ. = 1.1 V), the FGH30N60LSD is specially designed to increase system efficiency while meeting low-frequency requirements.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its family of compact, integrated IGBTs with a high-speed switching device that will simplify the design and reduce the component count in cooking appliances and other induction heating applications. Optimised for voltage resonance inverter switching, the new 1200V N-channel, ‘enhancement mode’ GT40QR21 comprises an IGBT and a reverse recovery freewheeling diode monolithically integrated into a single,...

Arrow has announced the availability of a three-phase motor drive application kit that provides all of the hardware and software needed to rapidly develop energy-efficient variable speed motion control designs based on motors with ratings to 750W.

Toshiba has announced what it says is the world’s first ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller to feature a single 5V supply. Offering high performance and low power consumption, the TMPM380FY combines comprehensive serial connectivity with a number of on-board features and peripherals that meet the specific needs of industrial and home appliance designs.

Most of the current high power semiconductors are optimized for switching frequencies between 4 and 8 kHz. Today, however, more and more applications require frequencies of 10 kHz and higher. New power modules specifically designed for higher frequencies can now fill that gap.

ABB Semiconductors in Lenzburg, Switzerland, long searched in vain for a suitable production storage system for HiPak IGBT modules production. Project Manager Prabath Lewdeni found the SMD Tower by chance. Its supplier Essemtec re-engineered the SMD component storage system into clean room storage for ABB.

Mitsubishi Electric is introducing its 6th generation Mega Power Dual (MPD) Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) modules. The modules, which are for use in power converters such as large-capacity photovoltaic and wind power generation systems, are also suitable for other high-power applications e.g. in the areas of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and AC motor control.
