APT Announces Silicon Carbide --SiC-- Schottky Diodes.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BEND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 26, 2004 Advanced Power Technology (Nasdaq:APTI APTI Association for Preservation Technology International APTI Air Pollution Training Institute ) is pleased to announce its new product line of SiC ZERO RECOVERY(TM) Schottky Diodes in plastic and hermetic hermetic /her·met·ic/ (her-met´ik) impervious to air. her·met·ic or her·met·i·cal adj. Completely sealed, especially against the escape or entry of air. packages. Packages include D2, D3, TO-220, TO-247, and SOT-227, as well as hermetic TO-257, TO-254, and TO-258 packages. Available in 600V and 1200V breakdown voltages, configurations include single discrete devices, multi-die discrete devices, and center-tap devices. In addition to discrete devices, APT has combined these SiC ZERO RECOVERY(TM) Schottky Diodes with our latest POWERMOS 7(R) IGBT IGBT Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor IGBT Integrated Gate Bipolar Transistor to create "combi's" for higher efficiency converters. Power Modules and other custom designs using the SiC ZERO RECOVERY(TM) Schottky diodes are also available. Key Features -- Faster switching speed compared to silicon diodes, up to 500 kHz, allowing smaller EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. filter and other passives. -- Switching losses nearly eliminated resulting in 3%-7% reduction in PFC PFC abbr. private first class Noun 1. PFC - a powerful greenhouse gas emitted during the production of aluminum perfluorocarbon power consumption. -- High thermal conductivity resulting in lower operating temperature enabling smaller heat sink A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips. to be used for compact designs. -- Rated at 175(degrees)C for higher temperature operation or enhanced reliability at lower temperatures. -- Extremely low leakage at elevated temperature due to higher band gap. -- Easy paralleling due to negative temperature coefficient A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) occurs when the thermal conductivity of a material rises with increasing temperature, typically in a defined temperature range. For most materials, the thermal conductivity will decrease with increasing temperature. -- 600V to 1200V breakdown available. -- Power Modules and custom products available, www.advancedpower.com/PressRoom/NewProducts/default.aspx Applications Applications for these devices include Power Factor Correction Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique of counteracting the undesirable effects of electric loads that create a power factor that is less than 1. Power factor correction may be applied either by an electrical power transmission utility to improve the stability and efficiency (PFC), Switch-mode Power Supplies, Motor Controls, Uninterruptible Power Supplies See UPS. (hardware) Uninterruptible Power Supply - (UPS) A battery powered power supply unit that is guaranteed to provide power to a computer in the event of interruptions in the incoming mains electrical power. and Inverters. Hermetic parts are used in Aerospace and Military applications or other harsh environmental applications. Parts are available with and without Mil-Prf-19500 type screening. Data sheets are available to assist the designer, describing the features and benefits of these new SiC Schottky Diodes in greater detail. These may be downloaded from APT's website at http://www.advancedpower.com or obtained from the factory. Availability Samples are available now as well as high volume production.
