APT Europe Introduces New MOSFET and IGBT Standard Power Modules Dedicated to ZCS, Zero Current Switching, Applications.BORDEAUX, France -- Advanced Power Technology Europe (Nasdaq:APTI APTI Association for Preservation Technology International APTI Air Pollution Training Institute ), a leader in power module technology is pleased to announce a new product line of standard power modules for high voltage The term high voltage characterizes electrical circuits, in which the voltage used is the cause of particular safety concerns and insulation requirements. High voltage is used in electrical power distribution, in cathode ray tubes, to generate X-rays and particle beams, to Zero Current Switching applications. Switching losses in hard switching mode are the main limitation to increase operating frequencies. Higher switching frequency leads to significant size and weight reduction of passive components like capacitors, transformers, and inductors used in power converters. One way to increase the switching frequency is to reduce the switching losses by adopting soft switching techniques such as ZVS ZVS Zentralstelle für die Vergabe von Studienplätzen (Deutsche Behörde) ZVS Zero Voltage Switching ZVS Zeitschrift fuer Verkehrssicherheit (German traffic safety journal) ZVS zero velocity surface (zero voltage switching) and ZCS ZCS Zero Current Switching (high voltage DC/DC converters) ZCS Zero-Current Switching ZCS Zero Code Suppression ZCS Zinc Coated Screw ZCS Zero Correlation Spread ZCS Zonal Comfort System . These new modules focus on ZCS soft switching operation where power switches are actively turned on while switching losses are reduced due to a commutation inductance inductance, quantity that measures the electromagnetic induction of an electric circuit component; it is a property of the component itself rather than of the circuit as a whole. connected in series with the switch. Turn-off losses are minimized with switch current amplitude close to 0 Amps. A power device with a series high voltage fast diode is the common switch configuration for ZCS application. 1000V and 1200V MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET). MOSFETs are either NMOS (n-channel) or PMOS (p-channel) transistors, which are fabricated as individually packaged standard power modules are offered in a single switch configuration with currents from 86A to 160A. These modules use AlN substrates for best thermal performance. 1200V IGBT IGBT Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor IGBT Integrated Gate Bipolar Transistor standard power modules are also offered in a single switch configuration. The APTGU180U120D is based upon APT PowerMOS 7(R) PT IGBTs and is specified for 1200V and 180A. Other IGBT single switch modules are available with fast 1200V NPT NPT National Pipe Taper (pipe thread specification) NPT Non-Proliferation Treaty NPT Nonprofit Times NPT Newport (Rhode Island) NPT Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty NPT Neath Port Talbot IGBTs offering 200A and 300A current capability. 1000 and 1200 volt MOSFET standard power modules are also offered in a phase leg configuration with currents of 37 to 49 amps. All these modules are integrated in the SP6 package which is designed to exhibit minimum internal parasitic resistance and inductance therefore offering high frequency operation capability. The use of the latest generation of power devices allows operating in ZCS mode in the range of 100 kHz to 200 kHz for Power MOS (1) (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) See MOSFET. (2) (Mean Opinion Score) The quality of a digitized voice line. It is a subjective measurement that is derived entirely by people listening to the calls and scoring the results from 7(R) PT IGBTs and Fast NPT IGBTs and above 200 kHz for Power MOS 7(R) MOSFETs. Key features: --Low profile (17mm height) --High efficiency at elevated switching frequencies --Low turn on losses --Low diode recovery charges --Space and cost savings --Isolated package -- easy mounting Applications Main applications for this product family are industrial power supplies, induction heating induction heating Method of raising the temperature of an electrically conductive material by subjecting it to an alternating electromagnetic field. Energy in the electric currents induced in the object is dissipated as heat. equipment, welders, battery chargers, UPS operating from 400V AC mains and above, requiring high frequency in ZCS soft switching mode. Data sheets are available to assist the designer, describing the features and benefits of these new devices in greater detail. These may be downloaded from APT's website at http://advancedpower.com or obtained from the factory. Availability Samples are available now. Lead times for 10K quantities 8-12 weeks. Pricing quantities of 1000 to 2500 pieces ranges from $68.00 to $159.00.
