IXYS PLUS264 HiPerFET -- Largest Discrete Power MOSFET With Lowest Rds-on.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers 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.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2002 IXYS Corporation (Nasdaq:SYXI) has announced the availability of the PLUS264 HiPerFET(TM) MOSFETs. The PLUS264 package is approximately 50% larger than the TO-247 and enables the discrete packaging of IXYS' large-scale 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 die technology previously available only in modules. This new family provides the lowest Rds(on) and gate charge available in a discrete PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. compatible package. PLUS264 HiPerFET(TM) rated for 500V, 550V, 600V, 800V and 1000V will be available in December 2002. Products offered include the IXBF80N50Q rated at 80A and 500V with an Rds(on) of 55 milliohms and gate charge of 290 nanocoulombs, and the IXFB38N100Q rated at 38A and 1000V with an Rds(on) of 260 milliohms and gate charge of 230 nanocoulombs. These parts are rated for 890W at a case temperature of 25 degrees C, with a thermal resistance of .14 degrees C/W C/W Clockwise C/W Consistent With C/W Compatible With C/W Coupled With C/W Complete With C/W Come With C/W Complied With C/W Course Work C/W Counterweight C/W Chilled Water C/W Carrier Wave C/W Caution/Warning . The IXFB80N50Q is available at $17.64 and the IXFB38N100Q is available at $28.20 in 100 piece quantities, with pricing under $13 and $19 respectively in high volume quantities. These devices use IXYS advanced "Low Gate Charge" HiPerFET process and are optimized for high power applications above 10kW and operate efficiently at frequencies up to 1 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. . Typical applications are off-line AC-DC Power Distribution Systems and MRI 1.

In Power Distribution systems, IT and Telecom power supplies can greatly benefit from significant efficiency increases and 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 densities. MRI products would see an improvement in response and bandwidth of gradient amplifiers operating at higher voltages. The PLUS264 extends the power of through-hole leaded parts useable with more cost-effective PCB assembly methods versus screw-style power connections of other large module devices like the SOT-227.
