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.
