IXYS Adds High Power Versions of its PolarHT(TM) PolarHV(TM) Power MOSFETs with Up to 140A of Current Handling Capability.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :SYXI) announced today the release of new high-current PolarHT and PolarHV (hereafter PolarHT/HV) Power MOSFETs that bring additional design flexibility to a broad range of higher power Higher power is a term used in a 12-step program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, to describe "a power greater than yourself." Although many participants equate their higher power with God, a belief in God or in formal religion is not mandatory; the higher power is intended as a conversion applications based on IXYS PolarHT/HV technology. The PolarHT/HT platform incorporates IXYS proprietary cell-design technology that reduces on-resistance by 30%, enabling improved efficiency. These new Power MOSFETs exemplify IXYS Corporation's leadership position in the high current, 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 power conversion market. IXYS provides a wide selection of these new high-current PolarHT/HV Power MOSFETs. Voltages range from 300V to 800V and currents reach as high as 140A. These Power MOSFETS are offered in a number of different packages, including the standard TO-264 and a variety of IXYS ISOPLUS(TM) packages, which provides integral backside case isolation. These new devices are all HiPerFET(TM) processed, yielding Power MOSFETs with a fast intrinsic body diode for low Qrr and enhanced dV/dt ruggedness. The IXFR IXFR Incremental Zone Transfer 140N30P (300 V, 70 A, 0.026 Ohms, Rth,jc of 0.42 K/W) and IXFL100N50P (500 V, 90 A, 0.052 Ohms and Rth,jc of 0.20 K/W) are just some example parts that offer great electrical and thermal performance when utilizing the ISOPLUS(TM) packages. IXYS PolarHT/HV Power MOSFETs bring many technical benefits and cost savings to a large number of applications. High-Current PolarHT MOSFETs will find use in a broad spectrum of battery driven, industrial, and automotive markets. The superior ruggedness and safe operating area For power semiconductor device (such as BJT, MOSFET, thyristor or IGBT) a safe operating area (SOA) is defined as the voltage and current conditions over which the device can be expected to operate without self-damage. of the PolarHT/HV Power MOSFETs will be of additional benefit in applications with challenging operating requirements. High-Current PolarHV 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 applications include telecom power systems, SMPS SMPS Society for Marketing Professional Services SMPS Switching Mode Power Supply SMPS Switched Mode Power Supply , small DC motor control, PFC PFC abbr. private first class Noun 1. PFC - a powerful greenhouse gas emitted during the production of aluminum perfluorocarbon circuits and other general purpose high power applications. In many applications, these high-current devices will eliminate the need for multiple components, such as when paralleling lower current MOSFETs for high power applications; this reduces the quantity of switching devices, as well as the number of balancing and drive components. The value of these high-current MOSFETs is further enhanced by the fact that they are competitively priced, without the cost premium traditionally associated with large MOSFETs.
