APT Europe Introduces Very Low Profile -- 12mm -- 41 X 73mm Power Modules.


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 in the SP3 package for low power applications. The very low 12mm profile offers minimum parasitic 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. , solderable pins for easy mounting to a top Printed Circuit Board and a base plate for good heat spreading and best thermal resistance. These modules are offered in full bridge, dual Buck and dual Boost configurations.

The emitter/source bottom switches are open connections which makes possible the implementation of current sense devices. The symmetrical design allows connecting the two legs of the full bridge (or the two independent Boost/Buck circuits) in parallel to achieve a phase leg or a Boost/Buck chopper of twice the current capability.

These modules are offered with FREDFET switches for the full bridge modules, standard MOSFETs for Buck and Boost devices and also CoolMOS(TM), NPT NPT National Pipe Taper (pipe thread specification)

Current ratings range from 11A to 54A @ Tc= 80 Deg. C for voltages in the range of 500V to 1200V for 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 , FREDFET and CoolMOS modules. Current ratings range from 10A to 50A @ Tc= 80 Deg. C for voltages in the range of 600V to 1700V for PT, NPT and TRENCH IGBT IGBT Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor

 modules.

Key features:

--Very low profile (12mm) -- same as Isotop(R) height

--Very low inductance for high efficiency at elevated switching frequencies

--Small 40.8mm x 73.4mm footprint

--Solderable terminals -- easy PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl.

--Wide range of technologies available -- MOSFETs, FREDFETs, NPT, PT and TRENCH IGBTs

--Wide range of voltage and current ratings

--Space and cost savings

--Isolated package -- easy mounting to 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.

Primary applications for this extended family are 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 , motor control, UPS, power supplies and welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat.  converters.

The very low profile offering low parasitics makes this product range a component of choice anytime and everywhere space, electrical performance, weight and cost are a concern. An overview of the new SP3 product range is given in the table below but more products are available on the website.
