StarPower expands its portfolio with half-bridge and three-phase bridge modules for electric drive systems. The new solutions are based on the company’s latest chip generation and offer significantly higher power density, improved thermal performance, and an optimised cost-to-performance ratio. With this, the power semiconductor specialist addresses the growing demands of modern e-mobility and industrial applications.
Among StarPower’s latest developments is a new family of transfer-moulded half-bridge modules designed for traction inverters in power classes starting from 250kW. These modules are available in both silicon and silicon carbide technologies and utilise the latest Gen3 trench IGBT generation as well as second-generation SiC MOSFETs with extremely low conduction losses, reaching down to 1.3 mΩ RDS(on) at module level.
High-quality Si₃N₄ AMB substrates, combined with an optimised pin-fin baseplate design, ensure significantly enhanced heat dissipation. The product range includes 750V and 1200V variants, featuring Gen3 IGBT modules rated at 750 Arms and 900 Arms, as well as 450 Arms and 500 Arms. SiC versions are available with RDS(on) values of 1.4 mΩ and 1.0 mΩ, as well as 1.8 mΩ and 1.3 mΩ.
In addition, StarPower expands its portfolio of encapsulated three-phase bridge modules for traction inverters in the low- and medium-power range. These modules also rely on the latest Gen3 trench IGBT technology and second-generation SiC MOSFETs, offering particularly low losses starting from 2 mΩ RDS(on).
The combination of Si₃N₄ AMB substrates and a pin-fin baseplate ensures high thermal robustness; an integrated current sensor is optionally available. The modules are offered in 750V and 1200V versions, including Gen3 IGBT variants rated at 350 Arms, 380 Arms, and 300 Arms. SiC versions are available with RDS(on) values of 2.3 mΩ and 2.0 mΩ, as well as 3.0 mΩ and 2.0 mΩ.
With these new modules, StarPower underscores its technological advancement and strengthens its position as a high-performance partner for the electrification of modern drive systems.
