PCIM Europe: SiC Hybrid Power Module Rated at 1700V, 1200A
Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced a hybrid N-channel IEGT (Injection-Enhanced Gate Transistor) module that features an embedded silicon carbide (SiC) fast recovery diode (FRD). The high-efficiency PMI (Plastic case Module IEGT) will help designers to save energy, space and weight in high-power switching, inverter and motor control applications.
PCIM Europe: 40V automotive MOSFETs With Benchmark on-State Resistance
International Rectifier has strengthened its family of automotive-qualified COOLiRFET MOSFETs with the addition of 22 new devices in differing packages. The devices deliver benchmark on-state resistance (Rds(on)) for heavy load applications including electric power steering (EPS), braking systems and other heavy loads on internal combustion engine (ICE) and micro hybrid vehicle platforms.
Cree releases the CCS050M12CM2 SiC six-pack power module
Cree is introducing the industry’s first commercially available silicon-carbide six-pack power module in an industry-standard 45-mm package. When replacing a silicon module with equivalent ratings, Cree’s six-pack module can reduce power losses by 75 percent, which leads to an immediate 70 percent reduction in the size of the heat sink or a 50 percent increase in power density.
