IXYS Adds 800V Versions of Its PolarHV(TM) Power MOSFETs
September 05 2006 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:SYXI) announced today the release of new
800V PolarHV Power MOSFETs that bring additional design flexibility
to a broad range of higher power conversion applications. The
PolarHV platform incorporates IXYS' proprietary technology that
reduces on-resistance by 30%, enabling improved efficiency. These
new Power MOSFETs extend the PolarHV portfolio into the high
voltage power conversion market. IXYS' new 800V PolarHV Power
MOSFETs cover a broad range of power, with over 50 parts to choose
from in both Standard and HiPerFET versions. HiPerFET models
feature a fast intrinsic body diode for low Qrr and improved
hard-switching efficiency. All of these Power MOSFETs are offered
in standard packages and a variety of IXYS ISOPLUS packages with
integral backside case isolation. The IXFC16N80P (800V, 9A, Rdson =
0.65 ohm with isolated Rth,jc = 0.9K/W) and IXFR44N80P (800V, 25A,
Rdson = 0.2 ohm with isolated Rth,jc = 0.42K/W) are just some
examples of ISOPLUS PolarHV HiPerFET Power MOSFETs with superior
electrical and thermal performance. "We extended our capability to
use a standard CMOS memory wafer fab to design and produce these
advanced power MOSFETs. IXYS pioneered the fabless model for a
power semiconductor company as a business model, and have been
using CMOS IC fabs since 1984. The fact that our scientists are
able to produce state of the art power MOSFETs in these fabs,
offers our customers excellent performance/price ratio advantages
which result in better energy efficiency in power systems,"
commented Dr. Nathan Zommer IXYS CEO. IXYS' 800V PolarHV Power
MOSFETs will be valuable in a variety of applications, with
best-in-class performance and competitive pricing. Common 800V
applications include DC-DC converters, high voltage lighting,
industrial machinery and medical equipment. The superior ruggedness
and safe operating area of the PolarHV Power MOSFETs will be of
additional benefit in applications with challenging operating
conditions. The value of the larger, high-current MOSFET is
enhanced by the fact that they are competitively priced, without
the cost premium traditionally associated with high voltage
MOSFETs. IXYS will continue to grow the high voltage product line,
with an ongoing plan to increases the value offered in the PolarHV
market. About IXYS IXYS is a global leader in Power Semiconductors,
