"We've opened up the box." That is how Steve Evans, Vice President of Marketing at Amantys describes the successful implementation of the Amantys Power Insight communications protocol over Avago’s 50MBd Versatile Link transmitters and receivers. Effectively this opens up a two way street by bringing more intelligence into the power switching process.

At PCIM 2014, a keynote speech will be delivered byThomas Neyer, Fellow and Head of Fairchild’s High Voltage Technology/Device Development Centers, titled Progress in Power Semiconductor Devices and Applications. The speech will be delivered onTuesday, May 20, at 0945, in room Brussel 1, withNeyer discussinghow advances in power management are enabling major steps forward in energy efficiency, power density, system size and cost.

Mitsubishi Electric used the PCIM exhibition in Nuremberg to launch hybrid silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor modules for high-frequency switching applications. These latest additions to the NFH series of power semiconductor modules enable design engineers to reduce electric power losses by 40%.

A family of14.2mm optocoupler devices, designated the ACNT-Hxxx series, has been launched byAvago Technologies. Designed for high voltage applications, theACNT-Hxxx family consists of three major product series: the ACNT-H3xx, high efficiency gate drive optocouplers for driving IGBTs; the ACNT-H6xL, low power 10MBd digital optocouplers for system control and data communications; and the ACNT-H79x, high linearity isolation amplifiers for current a...

Designed for high voltage (HV) discrete technologies, Fairchild Semiconductor has launched scalable, physical SPICE-level model. The HV SPICE models are one physical model that applies to the entire technology platform, instead of a library of independent discrete models for each device size and process variation. It has the ability to track layout and process technology changes.

Offering acurrent ratings range from 20A to 310A, a line of 900VXPT IGBTs has been launched by IXYS.Designed especially for hard-switching applications, these new devices are able to achieve an optimal balance between the turn-off energy loss and on-state voltage. Able to support switching frequencies up to 50 kHz, they allow designers to use smaller and lighter components in their systems.

Enabling engineers to design highly efficient and reliable grid-tied solar micro inverters, Texas Instruments announces the C2000 Solar Micro Inverter Development Kit. The kit implements a complete grid-tied solar micro inverter based around TI's C2000 Piccolo TMS320F28035 microcontroller.

Featuring asymmetrical blocking with a fully rated anti-parallel diode included within the package, theT0258HF65Gpress-pack IGBT has been launched by IXYS UK. The6.5kV device has aDC collector current rating of 258A with a repetitive peak current rating of over 500A, further extending the power range of IGBT power switches.

Aportfolio of energy-efficient, 600V IGBTs has been expanded by the manufacturer,International Rectifier. Available in a variety of packages, theIRxx46xx series of devices are optimised for a complete power range spectrum. This includes from small motors and loads to industrial applications such as UPS, solar, induction heating, industrial motor and welding applications.

IXYS UK has announced high customer interest in the recent introduction of a range of standard three-level press-pack IGBT phase leg stacks with power ratings up to 16MW. These stack designs are available for applications at three voltage levels 3.3, 6.6 and 10kV and incorporate the company's press-pack IGBT technology.
