600V IGBTs are optimised for EV & HEV applications
Optimised for small auxiliary motor drive applications including air conditioning compressors for EV and HEVs, the AUIRGP66524D0 and AUIRGF66524D0 automotive-qualified 600V IGBTs have been introduced by International Rectifier. The 24A devices feature a low VCE(ON) to reduce power dissipation and a maximum junction temperature of 175°C to achieve extremely high power density.
GaN to become core technology in power electronics
According to GaN Systems, GaN will become the core technology in power electronics within the next three years. Founded seven years ago, GaN Systems has developed a wide range range of GaN, high power transistors based on its Island Technology design.
Snubber Series With More Terminal Configurations And Higher Capacitance Values
TDK Corporation has significantly extended its range of EPCOS snubber film capacitors: A total of 17 different terminal configurations are now available, enabling them to protect an even broader spectrum of IGBT modules against voltage peaks.
CeraLink – a compact solution for converters
TDK Corporation presents a new generation of the EPCOS CeraLink, a highly compact solution for the snubber and DC links of fast-switching converters based on SiC and GaN semiconductors. These new capacitors are based on the ceramic material PLZT (lead lanthanum zirconate titanate). In contrast to conventional ceramic capacitors, CeraLink has its maximum capacitance at the application voltage, and this even increases proportionately to the share o...
On-chip galvanic isolation provides reliable power control
Integrating galvanic isolation with analogue and logic circuitry in the same chip, the STGAP1S advanced single-channel gate driver is the first in STMicroelectronics’ next-gen range of gapDRIVE gate drivers. The devices aim to help simplify driver design while ensuring high noise immunity for safe and reliable power control.
Design support offered for industry’s lowest loss switches
GeneSiC Semiconductor announces the availability of Gate Driver evaluation board and has expanded its design support for what it calls thethe industry’s lowest loss switches, the SiC Junction Transistor (SJT), with a fully-qualified LTSPICE IV model.Using the Gate Driver Board, power conversion circuit designers can verify the benefits of sub-15ns, temperature independent switching characteristics of SiC Junction Transistors, with low drive...
Fairchild to exhibit solutions for a smarter, cleaner world
