IXYS Introduces 1.2KV X2PT IGBT E3 and SIMBUS F Power Module Series

IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ: IXYS), a leader in power semiconductors and 
HVIC technologies for energy efficient products used in power 
conversion, motor control, medical and transportation applications 
announced the release of a new product line of IGBT power modules 
utilizing the latest X2PT IGBT technology in industry standard E3 and 
SIMBUS F housings.

---

The newly released range of IGBT power modules will contain the second 
generation XPT IGBTs, the X2PT IGBT technology, resulting in improved 
power switching performance with the high level of ruggedness that 
characterized the IXYS XPT and other IGBT products.

In combination with the advanced integrated Sonic diode dies, these 
modules provide substantial benefits to customers by offering:

• 
  Reduced Eoff
  


• 
  Lower Vcesat
  


• 
  Tjmax of 175 degrees C
  


• 
  Reduced Rth
  


• 
  Very low gate charge
  


• 
  Square RBSOA
  


• 
  10 microsecond short circuit capability
  

First modules launched are rated at 1200V/120A (MIXG120W1200TEH) and 
1200V/180A (MIXG180W1200TEH) in 6-pack configuration in a E3 housing, 
and a 1200V/330A (MIXG330PF1200TSF) and a 1200V/490A (MIXG490PF1200TSF) 
rated phase leg in a SIMBUS F housing. Higher power rating modules and 
the smaller E2 type modules will be introduced soon as standard products.

“With these latest additions to our IGBT portfolio, IXYS is offering 
economical and powerful solutions suitable for high reliability and 
efficient applications such as UPS, motor drives welding and solar 
inverters. The new X2PT generation of IXYS’ XPT technology will allow 
our customers to benefit from better performance at lower cost in 
industry standard modules,” commented Neil LeJeune, Vice President of 
European Sales and Business Development. “We continue investments in our 
technology and are committed to provide our customers with energy 
efficient solutions for power and motor control applications. We also 
offer custom IGBT configurations in these packages that are tailored to 
our customers’ specific needs.”
