Galvanically isolated transformers work with IGBT, SiC-MOSFET gate drivers
Power Integrations announced a range of galvanically isolated transformers that provide the correct voltage and power for the company’s SCALE-iDriver family of gate drivers. The combination delivers a simple, robust and cost-efficient DC-DC converter solution that does not require additional voltage regulation, reducing system cost and development time. The SIT12xxI transformer and SCALE-iDriver ICs are […]
SiC-MOSFET gate driver delivers 8 A to handle high-kilowatt apps
Power Integrations announced the SIC1182K SCALE-iDriver, a high-efficiency, single-channel silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET gate driver that delivers the highest peak-output gate current available without an external boost stage. Devices can be configured to support different gate-drive voltage requirements matching the range of requirements seen in SiC-MOSFETs today; key applications include UPS, photovoltaic systems, servo drives, […]
Plug-and-play gate drivers provide reinforced isolation for 1200 V and 1700 V IGBT modules
Power Integrations announced a new plug-and-play gate driver for use with Infineon’s PrimePACK 3+ and Fuji-equivalent IGBT modules for 2-level and 3-level applications. The SCALE-2 2SP0430T2XX gate-driver board suits industrial, traction, UPS and renewable-energy applications, and provides reinforced isolation for 1200 V and 1700 V IGBT modules. Meeting IEC60664-1 and IEC61800-5-1 standards and available in versions […]
Image gallery: Smart, small, and integrated at electronica 2018
Over 80,000 attendees from 80 countries spent four days at electronica 2018 in Munich last month combing 17 halls, 182K square meters of exhibition space, and meeting with as many of the 3,100 exhibitors as possible. The driving force for many of the new products introduced at the trade fair was, again, the need to […]
98.5%-efficient high voltage BLDC motor driver eliminates heat sinks, doubles life of board
The move away from AC-DC motors to brushless DC (BLDC) motors reflects a disruptive change and Power Integrations has seized the opportunity to enter the highly integrated, highly efficient billion dollar motor drive market with their BridgeSwitch integrated half-bridge (IHB) motor driver IC family. “We saw the increasing adoption of BLDC motors worldwide in industrial […]
High-efficiency flyback switcher ICs incorporate 900-V MOSFETs
Power Integrations announced the release of LinkSwitch-XT2 offline switcher ICs incorporating 900 V power MOSFETs. Targeting high-efficiency isolated and non-isolated flyback power supplies up to 8 W, the up-rated ICs are suitable for three-phase industrial power supplies to 480 VAC and high-quality consumer products destined for regions with unstable mains grids, tropical regions with frequent […]
ICs comply with USB Power Delivery 3.0 standards for fast charging of smartphones, tablets, and notebooks
Power Integrations announced that a range of adapter designs based on Power Integrations’ InnoSwitch3-Pro and InnoSwitch3-CP ICs have achieved compliance with USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 standards. During a recent workshop in Portland, Oregon, nine adapter designs featuring InnoSwitch3 devices – including several designs submitted by leading power-supply manufacturers – successfully completed USB PD 3.0 […]
