IGBTs have punch through technology in 600 and 900 V devices.
May 29, 2008 -
Available as single devices or packaged with DQ Series fast, soft recovery diodes, Power MOS8® IGBT series exhibits low conduction losses, typ VCE(on) of 2.0 V (600 V) and 2.5 V (900 V), to increase overall circuit efficiency. Low switching losses enable operation at frequencies over 100 kHz. Target applications include solar inverters, high performance SMPS, and industrial equipment such as welders, battery chargers, and induction heaters.
Microsemi Announces New Power MOS 8 Punch Through Series IGBTs
IRVINE, Calif., May 20, 2008 -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq:MSCC), a leading
manufacturer of high performance analog mixed signal integrated circuits and high reliability semiconductors, has announced a
new family of high speed Power MOS8® insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) featuring punch through technology in 600
and 900 Volt devices.
The new Power MOS8® IGBTs target applications that include solar inverters, high performance SMPS, and industrial
equipment such as welders, battery chargers, and induction heaters.
Key Features:
o Punch Through Technology
o Faster Switching
o High Efficiency - Low Saturation Voltage
o Short Tail - Minimizing Switching Losses
o Low VCE(ON)
The new Power MOS8® IGBT series exhibits low conduction losses VCE(ON), typ = 2.0V (600V) and 2.5V (900V), to increase
overall circuit efficiency. Low switching losses enable operation at frequencies over 100kHz--approaching the performance of
power MOSFETs but at lower cost.
Power MOS 8® IGBTs are available as single devices or packaged with DQ series fast, soft recovery diodes. Samples are
available now. In 1000 piece quantities, prices range from $2.09 to $7.04 for discrete devices and $3.01 to $9.44 for Combi's.
Technical datasheets are available on the Microsemi website at www.microsemi.com.
