Ultra-soft IGBT freewheeling diodes offer low losses
Infineon Technologies Bipolar GmbH & Co. KG has launched a diode family designed for modern IGBT applications: Infineon Prime Soft. This diode features an improved turn-off capability which now rates at 5kA/µs. Prime Soft builds on the IGCT freewheeling diode family which is based on a monolithic silicon design. Typical applications for the diodes are HVDC/FACTs and medium voltage drives using voltage source converters. These applicatio...
Small 20W medical DC/DC converter features wide input range
TRACO POWER has announced the release of their THM 20 family of medical 20W DC/DC converters with a wide 2:1 input range in a 1.0x1.6x0.40” footprint. The THM 20 series are a reliable solution not only for medical equipment but also for demanding ITE applications such as transportation, control and measurement or IGBT drivers.
Power electronics in the spotlight at Fortronic Power 2018
A concentration of technological innovations and solutions in the power electronics industry will be on show at Fortronic Power 2018, the 15th edition of the event, organised by Assodel (Electronic Districts Association - Italy), and taking place in the city of Modena.
IGBT modules suit industrial applications
The ACEPACK IGBT modules from STMicroelectronics (ST) are in stock at Mouser Electronics. Part of a new plastic power module family developed mainly to address industrial applications, the Adaptable Compact Easier PACKage (ACEPACK) modules provide economical and highly integrated power conversion for 3kW – 30kW industrial and power management solutions.
Gate drivers enhance robustness in harsh environments
Power Integrations hasintroduced factoryconformal coatingfor its SCALE IGBT and MOSFET drivers. Conformal coating enhances system reliability by protecting electronic components against contaminants such as pollution, dust and condensation, which may cause corrosion. Power Integrations’ factory-coated gate drivers reduce inventory cost, lead time and overall cost of ownership by eliminating the need for manufacturers to send boards to subco...
FETs deliver industry’s highest-performance upgrade path
Designers of Power Factor Correction stages (PFCs), Active Frontend Rectifiers, LLC converters and Phase Shift Full Bridge converters can now upgrade existing system performance by using the UJ3C1200 series of SiC JFET cascodes from UnitedSiC. With a voltage rating of 1200V and ON-resistances of 80 and 40 milliohms, these devices offer a ‘drop-in’ replacement solution for many existing IGBT, Si-MOSFET and SiC-MOSFET parts, with no cha...
Smallest medical DC/DC converter features wide input range
TRACO POWER has announced the release of their THM 30 family of medical 30W DC/DC converters with wide 2:1 input range in the industry standard 1x2” footprint. The THM 30 Series are a reliable solution not only for medical equipment but also for demanding ITE applications such as transportation, control and measurement or IGBT drivers.
The power module for industrial motor control
ST offers new ACEPACK 1 and ACEPACK 2 Power Modules with Six-pack and CIB (converter + inverter + brake) topologies in industrial power applications including industrial motor drives, solar panels, welding tools and power management solutions.
Will EVs start to take up SiC and drive prices to parity with silicon?
Wide band-gap devices have yet to break into the EV market in a meaningful way, but the stage is set for them to become the technology of choice as they drop in cost and demonstrate the performance and reliability needed. ByAnup Bhalla, VP Engineering at UnitedSiC.
Single channel gate driver ICs provide a 300 mil wide body package
Infineon Technologies is now offering the EiceDRIVER 1EDC Compact 300mm family of single channel gate driver ICs. With an insulation test voltage ofVISO= 2500 V(rms) for 60 sec these galvanically isolated drivers are recognised under UL 1577. Due to their high switching frequency of up to 1,000kHz they do not only drive IGBTs, but can also be integrated in demanding SiC MOSFET topologies.
