June 25, 2008 - Including Models IXTH52P10P, IXTP36P15P, IXTH26P20P, and IXTH10P50, PolarP(TM) P-Channel Power MOSFETs come in TO-247, TO-3P, TO-220, and TO-263 packages. They allow for design of complementary power output stage, with corresponding N-Channel MOSFET, for power half bridge stage with simple drive circuit. With current ratings ranging from 10-52 A, devices are suited for high side switching where simple drive circuit that is referenced to ground can be used.

IXYS Introduces the Polar Generation of P-Channel Power MOSFETs

Milpitas, CA, March 13, 2008 - IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ: IXYS) announces the release of a new family of 100V to 500V PolarP(TM) P-Channel Power MOSFETs. This is a new generation of P-Channel MOSFET that complements the Polar N-Channel family of IXYS power MOSFETs. These P-Channel MOSFETs are ideal for 'high side' switching where a simple drive circuit that is referenced to ground can be used. This is more cost effective than using an N-Channel MOSFET. Furthermore it allows for the design of a complementary power output stage, with a corresponding IXYS N-Channel MOSFET, for a power half bridge stage with a simple drive circuit.

These high performance P-Channel devices are fabricated using IXYS' Polar technology platform, reducing conduction losses by 30% and gate charge by 40%, thereby improving energy efficiency and power switching performance.

The voltage ratings of these new MOSFETs are 100V, 150V, 200V and 500V with current ratings ranging from 10A to 52A. Initial offerings include part numbers IXTH52P10P, IXTP36P15P, IXTH26P20P, and IXTH10P50 in various industry standard packages such as the TO-247, TO-3P, TO-220, and TO-263. In addition, versions will be offered in IXYS' proprietary ISOPLUS(TM) packages providing UL approved 2500V isolation with superior thermal cycling and thermal performance. Higher current rated parts with additional package options will be forthcoming in the near future.

IXYS' new P-Channel Power MOSFETs excel in a variety of applications, with best-in-class performance and competitive pricing. Common applications include high side switching, power solid state relays, push-pull amplifiers, CMOS high power amplifiers, DC choppers, high current regulators and high side switches in automotive and test equipments. The superior ruggedness of the PolarP(TM) Power MOSFETs makes them suitable for motor control and power cut-off switches or power SSRs for energy saving applications.
