Overview:IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ: IXYS), a leader in power semiconductors and integrated circuits technologies for energy efficient products used in power conversion and motor control applications, announced today the introduction of a new bi-polar module for high power applications. The new ComPack family represents a compact package with the highest power density.

The ComPack design is resulting from the implementation of the newest assembly methods in combination with the well-proven, clip-soldered die technologies of IXYS. Different inner and outer features lead to a user-friendly product that fulfils the highest needs in reliability and functionality.

First products are phase-legs with varying topologies like dual thyristors, dual diode and thyristor/ diode. Voltage classes ranges from 1600 up to 2200 Volts. The modules have a rated current of 650 up to 700 Amperes per leg, improved surge rating and a maximum junction temperature of 140°C.

Internally the IXYS’ Direct Copper Bonded (DCB) ceramic technology provides a high isolation voltage of 4800 V and represents the base to cover UL standards.

With the adapted copper base plate the ComPack concept achieves a very low thermal impedance that supports long-term reliability under highest power output usage.

Further the optimised DCB-Layout gives a perfect symmetrical internal design of the dies with the copper construction. This leads directly into an optimum for the terminal design providing M10 screw connections and a big surface to minimize the ohmic resistance.

Creepage and clearance distances are in line with the industrial standards and have been set to reduce additional efforts of the user to a minimum.

The ComPack family have a size and volume that is at least 1.5 times smaller compared with current products in this power class. With this reduction also the weight of the ComPack module has been improved to a value that is 3 times lower.

With this development IXYS is allowing the designer to switch more power than historically avail-able, facilitating higher power densities, greater material efficiency and lower system cost and weight.

“These new IXYS rectifier modules are first in the line of modules that set a new benchmark for bi-polar power rectification, raising the standards and offering our customers innovation in extre-mely rugged, efficient product design.” commented Dr. Nathan Zommer CEO and Chairman of IXYS.

Overview:IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ: IXYS), a leader in power semiconductors and integrated circuits technologies for energy efficient products used in power conversion and motor control applica-tions, announces today the extension of its Triac-family for AC-Control applications.

This new IXYS Triac design is the combination of two IXYS Thyristors technologies. Instead of using two back to back thyristors with two separated gates IXYS uses its proprietary Anode Gated Thyristor (“AGT”) technology to integrate an AC-Controller with two complementing thyristors. The two gates of said AGT and its complementary thyristor are connected together as one lead.

This integrated Triac design offers superior performance to prior art standard Triacs, thus expand-ing the applications of this IXYS Triac in more power control designs.

Most obvious impact is the change of the AC-Controller application from a four-terminal-device to one with three terminal, namely with one gate terminal, thus reducing the components count for the gate drivers. Less components mean lower cost, smaller size and more reliable.

IXYS offers also single* Cathode and Anode Gated Thyristors that can be combined to a Triac giving highest power and current density next to an optimized cost and space efficient package solution.

In terms of reliability this complementary two-die-solution is much more rugged than the standard Triac versions with higher dv/dt and di/dt ratings, which can reduce the need for external snubber or protection components.

Furthermore higher voltage classes of Triacs can be produced with higher current ratings. While single-die Triacs are typically limited to voltages of 600-1000 volts and the current capability hardly exceeds 25 amps. This new class of IXYS Triacs allows voltage classes up to 2200 volts and several hundred amps.

Higher voltage and higher current ratings allow the designers to add AC power control with one universal design for the worldwide line voltage applications.

The IXYS new Triac family offers several new products that give to the designers more options, more flexibility and higher performance with less components and lower cost.

• Triac for line frequency

• Three Quadrants Operation: QI - QIII

• Planar passivated chip

• Long-term stability of blocking
