The ubiquitous Intelligent Power Module, aka IPM, has been a mainstay in motor speed control designs. And with good reason: Such designs are relatively easy and cheap to implement. With onboard gate drivers, protection, and a six pack IGBT array integrated, it takes very little engineering effort to quickly come up with an effective design. Utilizing a stamped lead frame, plastic package, and high-volume components, and given an automated product...

Available in 1-, 3-, and poly-phase circuit configurations, AC/DC converters support voltage range from 50-5,000 V and current from 30-30,000 A. Along with voltage, current, and thermal feedback, options include snubbers, laminated Busses, DC filter capacitors, and output bus bars. Standard versions are available, along with custom models that can be designed to end-user specs, for applications that include power supplies, UPS, wind power, induc...

Incorporating isolated power supplies and protection features required for safe operation of power stages, IGBT and SCR Gate Drivers include isolated analog feedback of critical power stage parameters, DC bus voltage, output current, and device temperature. IGBT gate drivers control 2-6 IGBTs at currents in excess of 1,400 A, while SCR gate drivers control up to 12 SCRs, making them suited for ac and dc inverter, converter, and power supply appli...

Available from Solid State Supplies, Sanken's highly integrated inverter power modules for motor control help reduce external components. The SCM1110MF inverter power module (IPM) consists of all of the necessary power elements needed to configure the main circuit of an inverter as a high-side drive power supply: six IGBTs, three pre-drive ICs and six flyback diodes, as well as a bootstrap circuit (three bootstrap diodes and three boot resistors)...

Power Products International has been appointed the official UK distributor for the High Power Group products of International Rectifier, IRCI. The Edenbridge, Kent based power assembly specialist will now supply UK customers with IR’s power IGBT and mosfet modules, standard and fast recovery power diodes, schottky diode modules, thyristor and diode modules and bridges, and capsule thyristors and diodes.

Murata announces that its Power MONO ceramic capacitor has been designed into a hybrid electric scooter. Power MONO ceramic capacitors are much more compact than their film or aluminium electrolytic counterparts and feature high allowable ripple current. Further, Murata designed innovative metal terminals for the Power MONO series that prevent cracking in the ceramic material when exposed to mechanical stress.

Avago Technologies announced that Yaskawa Electric Corporation has selected two of its latest R2Coupler™ isolation products for use in the futuristic Mazda Premacy hydrogen/gas powered hybrid vehicle. Yaskawa, which makes the electronic motor inverter system for the Premacy, is using Avago’s ACPL-782T automotive grade isolation amplifier and ACPL-312T gate drive optocoupler in its electronic motors.

SEMIKRON has introduced SKAI 2, the most compact power electronic systems for hybrid and electric vehicles for use in the agricultural industry, construction industry, materials handling and battery-powered vehicles of any kind. According to market feedback, the SKAI systems, with power densities of 20 kVA/litre provide significant size reduction compared to the other standard products available. The systems are designed to operate with supply vo...

Zetex Semiconductors has introduced a range of mid-voltage bipolar transistors in the SOT23 package, capable of handling a power dissipation of up to 1.25W. With the 3mm x 2.5mm footprint, these seven NPN and six PNP devices help to significantly increase circuit power density by replacing the much larger DPAK, SOT89 and SOT223 packaged parts.
