600-V MOSFET combined with 650-V Schottky diode in Double DPAK
Increasing complexity of end products is challenging the design parameters for high power supplies: these require higher power and more efficiency in an even smaller space. Semiconductor devices are essential to the operation and performance of modern switched mode power supplies (SMPS). Over the last years, a trend towards surface mount devices (SMD) has been emerging. […]
SiC Schottky diodes target on-board charging of EVs and hybrids
At this year’s PCIM Europe trade fair in Nuremberg (June 5 to June 7) Infineon Technologies AG presents the first products of its automotive Silicon Carbide portfolio: the CoolSiC Schottky diode family is now ready for current and future on-board charger (OBC) applications in hybrid and electric vehicles. Infineon has designed the diodes specifically to […]
Intelligent power modules incorporate MOSFETs with low conduction and switching losses
Global energy efficiency standards often prohibit manufacturers from importing or selling products that do not meet these standards. In order to comply with specific minimum requirements, energy losses have to be reduced by using the latest technology. Infineon Technologies offers the IM512 and IM513 series of the CIPOS Mini family. They are the first high […]
