Siemens Combines 600V and 1200V IGBTs and Diodes to Form Space Saving Duo-Packs.CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 1997--Siemens Components, Inc. today announced availability of advanced Duo-Pack power switches, the BUP BUP Barn- och Ungdomspsykiatri (Sweden) BUP Bachillerato Unificado Polivalente BUP Barracks Upgrade Program BUP Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania BUP Build Up Pallet (shipping) XXXD product family. Duo-Packs are two-chip solutions combining a rugged IGBT IGBT Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor IGBT Integrated Gate Bipolar Transistor and an anti-parallel free-wheeling diode in a common TO-220 or TO-218 package. Duo-Packs are ideal switches for a variety of power electronics applications. Target applications for Duo-Packs are motor drives and converters with outputs up to 4 kW. However, they are suited for any inductive applications, such as uninterruptible power supplies, inductive heaters, and microwave ovens. The advantage of the Duo-Pack solution is reduced component count and easier assembly for the user. The compact layout permits a very low-inductance design, so that protective circuitry against overvoltages can be minimized or even dispensed with altogether, depending on circuit design. Duo-Packs also offer voltage control, latch-up protection, low forward voltage, and a switching frequency above the audible limit. The performance of the Duo-Pack lies between that of conventional discrete IGBTs and power modules. Depending on type, currents up to 42 A or more can be switched at voltages up to 1200 Volts. The 600 Volt, 42 A, BUP603D in quantities of 1000 is priced at $6.02. The 1200 Volt, 42 A BUP314D in quantities of 1000 is priced at $7.78.
