900 Volts rugged power MOSFETs from IXYS

In addition to its Polar HiPerFET Power MOSFET product portfolio, IXYS has released a new 900V rugged and fast polar series power MOSFETs with drain current ratings from 10.5 Amperes to 56 Amperes, and the operating voltage ranges from 500V to 1200V. These new 900V MOSFET devices combine IXYS' Polar Technology platform and HiPerFET process to provide improved power efficiency and reliability for high-voltage conversion systems that require bus voltage operation of up to 700V.

IXYS' Polar Technology platform minimizes on-state resistance while maintaining a low gate charge, resulting a substantial reduction in conduction and switching losses of the device.

The new 900V MOSFETs power switching capabilities and device ruggedness are enhanced with a fast intrinsic diode with low reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and improved turn-off dV/dt immunity, offers safety margins for the stresses encountered in high-voltage switching applications. These combined device attributes allow for improved efficient topologies in hard-switching inverters, switch-mode/resonant-mode power supplies, high voltage lighting, AC/DC motor drives, robotics/servo controls, industrial machinery and active power factor correction circuits.
