Microsemi Announces New Generation of Super-efficient NPT IGBTs
Microsemi Corporation today introduced the first in a series of new generation 1200 volt (V) non-punch through (NPT) IGBTs. The new family of IGBTs leverages Microsemi's leading-edge Power MOS 8 technology, and offers a dramatic reduction of 20 percent or more in total switching and conduction losses as compared to competitive solutions.
Increasing the efficiency of an IPM-based drive design with Vincotech’s new flowIPM-1B module
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...
