Dynex Semiconductor Ltd. (Lincoln, UK) announced the release of two bi-directional IGBT modules for use in matrix converter power stages, the DIM400PBM17-A000 for use in a 60Hz to 400Hz, fixed-frequency converter and the DIM200MBS12 for use in a high-efficiency, brushless dc motor drive.
The DIM400PBM17-A000 module is a 400A, 1,700V, bi-directional switch mounted on
a 140mm x 73mm metal matrix baseplate. Long-term reliability and enhanced thermal performance are achieved through the use of aluminium-nitride substrates mounted on a metal matrix compound baseplate. The package has a 6kV isolation rating. The DIM200MBS12 module is a 200A, 1,200V, bi-directional switch mounted on a 106mm x 62mm copper baseplate. The package has a 4kV isolation rating.
