IXYS Introduces New Power MOSFETs in Isolated High Current i4(TM) Package For 55V to 100V Applications.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:IXYS) announces the release of a new line of High Current Power MOSFETs in versions ranging from 55V to 100V, utilizing IXYS' unique 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 non-planar technology (Trench, suffix suf·fix n. An affix added to the end of a word or stem, serving to form a new word or functioning as an inflectional ending, such as -ness in gentleness, -ing in walking, or -s in sits. tr.v. T), to provide high efficiency in power management circuits with ultra-low Rds(on) and optimized intrinsic reverse diode. These IXYS MOSFETs provide for very low conduction conduction, transfer of heat or electricity through a substance, resulting from a difference in temperature between different parts of the substance, in the case of heat, or from a difference in electric potential, in the case of electricity. and switching losses, and are avalanche rated for hard-switching applications. The principal feature of these products is the joining of IXYS' Low-Voltage MOSFETs with the reliable, high power handling capability of the discrete ISOPLUS(TM) i4-Pak(TM) packaging technology. Silicon current handling has outpaced the ability of most traditional discrete packaging, which typically limits steady state current to 75A. The powerful ISOPLUS i4-Pak(TM) is used to full effect in this instance by combining its superior isolation, thermal and power cycling Power cycling, also known as performing a 120 reset (after the 110 Volt AC power supply), is the act of turning a piece of computer equipment off and then on again with the intent of recovering from a hung state. capabilities. In this case, the ISOPLUS i4-Pak(TM) is configured with 5 heavy-gage leads to provide a high current drain and source paired lead set with joined copper webs and backside heat sinking, all of which conservatively improve the lead current rating to 160A. All IXYS' ISOPLUS(TM) packages are manufactured with internal direct-copper-bonded (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 ) isolation, are UL certified and provide integral backside case isolation. The IXTF280N055T (rated at 55V, Rds(on) of 0.0028Ohms with an Isolated Rth(jc) of 0.30K/W) and IXTF200N10T (rated at 100V, Rds(on) of 0.0054Ohms with an Isolated Rth(jc) of 0.30K/W) are just some examples of High Current ISOPLUS i4-Pak(TM) Low-Voltage Power MOSFETs. IXYS' ISOPLUS(TM) packages provide high isolation capability (up to 2500V), improve creepage distance and dramatically reduce total thermal resistance. Additionally, the ceramic alumina alumina (əl  `mĭnə) or aluminum oxide, Al2O3, chemical compound with m.p. about 2,000°C; and sp. gr. about 4.0. substrates used also dramatically enhance device reliability due to their superior thermal and power cycling. Kunze high performance phase change materials can be used to further enhance ISOPLUS package thermal performance. Low-Voltage Power MOSFETS find homes in many applications. These devices are designed to withstand even the most robust switching conditions commonly required by the automotive market, as well as the industrial sector. Other applications include DC/DC converters, battery chargers, motor drives, inverters, solar panel pass switches, synchronous rectification and others. Additional products and package options are in process, including options for lower and higher voltages.
