Microsemi today announced it is offering commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) up-screened plastic packaged products. The up-screening program is targeted at both commercial and defense system designs requiring higher levels of reliability assurance.

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.

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...

STMicroelectronics has announced that it will be demonstrate its latest solutions for smart homes at TECHNO-FRONTIER in Tokyo Big Sight, Japan, on July 11 – 13, 2012 in booth 6C-207. Making the most efficient use of electricity is becoming critical for everyone due to escalating electricity prices and the advance of global warming.

SemiSouth Laboratories Inc has announced that it is now shipping its latest range of vertical trench JFETs – including the world’s first normally-off family of devices to handle up to 50kW – in commercial volume quantities. The company is rapidly expanding production capacity at its state-of-the-art SiC wafer fabrication facility in Starkville, MS, (USA). A completely independent, vertically integrated SiC manufacturer with the most advance...

International Rectifier introduced the AUIR0815S automotive-qualified IC featuring very high output current in excess of 10 A to drive large IGBTs or MOSFETs in inverter stages for the power train of hybrid and electrical vehicles.

Infineon Technologies AG today opened a new facility in China called Infineon Integrated Circuits (Beijing) Co., Ltd., located in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area. In addition to sales and marketing, application R&D and central functions, the new entity houses an IGBT stack manufacturing facility and a technical center for automotive solutions. IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) are power semiconductors used to driv...

International Rectifier today announced the introduction of a family of automotive-qualified 600 V IGBTs optimized for variable speed motor control and power supply applications used in electric and hybrid vehicles.

Avago Technologies today 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.

Avago Technologies today announces a new compact extended temperature automotive grade optocoupler for use in hybrid electronic vehicles. Avago’s ACPL-36JV 2.5 Amp optocoupler incorporates an integrated desaturation detection and fault status feedback system while offering superior performance over a wide operating temperature range from -40 to +105 degrees-C. The ACPL-36JV is ideal for use with isolated IGBT/power MOSFET gate drives, industr...
