IXYS Introduces Best in Class New 400A/1200V IGBT Module; Expanding the Power and Ruggedness of its IGBT Module Family.Business Editors/High-Tech WritersSANTA 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.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 23, 2002 IXYS Corporation (Nasdaq:SYXI), a leader in power semiconductors for power conversion and motion control applications, announces today the introduction of its new dual 400A/1200V IGBT IGBT Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor IGBT Integrated Gate Bipolar Transistor module. This family of devices expands the high current range of the present IXYS IGBT based power module products, addressing the higher value added Value Added The enhancement a company gives its product or service before offering the product to customers. Notes: This can either increase the products price or value. segment of the power control market. The new MII 1. (body) MII - A consortium of Microsoft, IBM, and Intel. 2. (storage) MII - A broadcast component video tape format licensed by Panasonic. 400-12E4 Dual Pack IGBT module is rated at 1200 volts and current of 420 amperes, and is available in phase-leg (half-bridge) topology. Using its 3rd generation Non-Punch-Through (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 3) IGBT chips, the module features a 20% reduction in saturation voltage along with a 20% reduction in switching losses and rugged IGBT performance. The associated fast recovery diodes are fabricated utilizing its HiPerFRED(TM) technology that provides excellent fast recovery with soft characteristics, and low operating forward voltage losses. This integration in one module of leading edge IGBT/Diode designs, mounted on IXYS' own proprietary DCB DCB Dichlorobenzene DCB David Crowder Band DCB Dictionary of Canadian Biography DCB Device Control Block DCB Double Cantilever Beam DCB Disk Coprocessor Board DCB Dependent Care Benefits DCB Data Control Block DCB Direct Copper Bonding substrates, offers the user excellent all round electrical and thermal performance, maximizing the energy efficiency in power conversion and motor control circuits. These modules are part of IXYS' "Best In its Class" product family, for highest efficiency in integrated power control. The design and features of this new IGBT module have been driven by and developed for high power inverters for such applications as AC and DC motor drives, motor drives for electric vehicles and mass transit mass transit, public transportation systems designed to move large numbers of passengers. Types and Advantages Mass transit refers to municipal or regional public shared transportation, such as buses, streetcars, and ferries, open to all on a systems, electric welding, and high power UPS's. Pricing for the MII 400-12E8 start at $175 in 100 piece quantities. Prototyping quantities are available from stock and lead times for production quantities run 8-12 weeks. IXYS Corporation offers a broad line of Power Semiconductors, including Power MOSFETs, IGBTs, RF Power MOSFETs, Ultra-fast Reverse Recovery Diodes, silicon and gallium arsenide An alloy of gallium and arsenic compound (GaAs) that is used as the base material for chips. Several times faster than silicon, it is used in high frequency applications such as cellphones, DVD players and fiber optics. Schottky diodes, GTO's, thyristors and rectifiers, Multi-chip Modules, DCB ceramic substrates and Power Interface Integrated Circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. . IXYS offers a variety of Power Pulse products and RF MOSFETs via DEI, its Colorado Company, and higher power semiconductors via Westcode its U.K. based Company.
