IXYS Expand Its Rugged 1.6KV Line Rectifier Product Range
October 19 2017 - 2:30PM
IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:IXYS), a leader in power semiconductors
and IC technologies for energy efficient products used in power
conversion and motor control applications, announced today the
introduction of a new Rugged Input Rectifier technology with
improved performance.
Power input rectifiers with high performances
have become a requirement for power systems, in light of cost
optimization, by reducing system sizes and filters which led to
more dynamic stress for the main rectifiers. The main factors are
reduced input filters, capacitor banks and a reduction in silicon
content. Beyond that, the general performance of the mains in many
countries decreased due to insufficient investment over the years,
resulting in events such as overvoltage spikes, sudden voltage and
power degradation.
The brunt of all these negative influences has
to be taken by the input rectifiers; therefore, highly rugged
performance of the rectifiers to withstand excessive dynamic stress
has become the benchmark factor in providing reliable solutions.
Commutation robustness and power surge capability are the new
targets that have to be fulfilled by the power semiconductor
industry to allow end users to design competitive applications and
products.
In addition to the recently introduced phase-leg
rectifier types, IXYS now offers the first single diode products.
DMA50I1600HA is a 50 amp diode with a reverse blocking voltage of
1600 volts and it represents the first standard single rectifier
with high reliability due to dynamic events during current
commutation and unstable mains. Compared to the predecessor DSI45,
the new input rectifier diode has a reduced forward voltage drop,
better thermal conductivity, and increased current surge capability
of over 20%. A 1200V and an 800V version of the 50 amp type
complete the portfolio for the different mains.
“The extension of our recently introduced new
rugged rectifier portfolio with diode in discrete packages will add
design options for our customers,” states Dr. Elmar Wisotzki,
Director of Technology for IXYS Germany. “These rectifiers
complement our wide selection of Rugged Power MOSFETs, IGBTs and
Thyristors in offering a better solution for reliable and efficient
power systems.”
The product range for the new diodes contains
several phase-leg configurations and single diodes in TO-247.
Further products in other packages, especially as SMD, are coming
soon.
