Semikron International, known for its diode/thyristor power modules and an expert in power module packaging, and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), have teamed up to develop and deliver integrated power modules for industrial, consumer, and automotive markets, embedding ST’s industry-leading power devices in Semikron’s SEMITOP® power packages.

Semikron has introduced the newest member of its MiniSKiiP IGBT power semiconductor module family. The new modules are available in 3-level topology and boast a rated current of 4.9A/cm², the highest rated current per unit area when compared with competitor products. The use of one phase leg per module allows the development of compact inverters with output power of up to 85kVA. MiniSKiiP is characterised by fast and easy single-screw assembly a...

Dr. Edelweis Ritt takes over as managing director of the Semikron subsidiary in Brazil. Born and bred in Brazil, Dr. Ritt holds a Master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Computer Science, the latter having been obtained at the University of Tübingen, Germany during her eleven year stay in the country. Dr. Ritt boasts a wealth of international business experience in the private and public sector, as well as in the establishment of a government-owned se...

Zetex Semiconductors has announced a series of subwoofer amplifier reference designs using a unique feedback architecture to minimise distortion and noise and achieve the high damping factors required for tight bass control.

A new generation of trench MOSFETs from Zetex Semiconductors has been introduced to provide the high efficiency, cool running and quality audio reproduction demanded by Class D output stages. Rated at 70V, and offered in SOT223 and DPAK packages, these N- and P-channel devices ensure reliable, safe operation in higher power audio applications including flat panel TV and 5.1 surround sound systems. The selection will suit single-ended and bridge...

With its extended common-mode sensing voltage range of 3V to 60V, the ZXCT1080 current monitor from Zetex Semiconductors provides a simple solution for high side current sensing in a wide range of high voltage circuit protection duties in automotive, industrial motor control and power supply applications.

Combining complementary NPN and PNP transistors in the SOT236 package, the ZXTC2045E6 from Zetex Semiconductors produces the drive requirement needed to switch high power MOSFETs and IGBTs in power supply designs.

Davy Lo has been appointed Chief Marketing Officer for Zetex Semiconductors’ ASSP business group, with responsibility for the company’s rapidly expanding range of audio, DBS, LED driver and LED power management products. Lo joins Zetex after 26 years with Texas Instruments in senior Marketing and Sales roles based in Asia. He was most recently Director responsible for Marketing and Sales at Texas’ Hong Kong office.

Zetex, the analogue semiconductor company, has announced that Dr. Riedlberger, an accomplished semiconductor industry veteran, is to head its technology department. “This is another important milestone for Zetex, demonstrating our determination to put a world-class team in place to excel in achieving our ambitious goals,” said Chief Executive Hans Rohrer. “Franz brings a wealth of knowledge to the company, both in semiconductor technology ...

No less than three new people, Peter Devilée, Robert Gabriel and Peter Lüns, have joined Zetex Semiconductors’ European sales and application engineering team to support the company’s expanding range of discrete and integrated analogue semiconductor products.
