May 23, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

IXYS Corp. (Santa Clara, CA) announces the introduction of its new MII 400-12E4 dual-pack, 400A/1,200V, IGBT module, which is suitable for high-power inverters for such applications as ac and dc motor drives, motor drives for electric vehicles and mass transit systems, electric welding, and high-power UPSs.

The new MII 400-12E4 IGBT module is rated at 1,200V and a current of 420A, and is available in phase-leg (half-bridge) topology. Using third-generation, non-punch-through (NPT3) IGBT chips, the module features a 20-percent reduction in saturation voltage with a 20-percent reduction in switching losses and rugged IGBT performance. The associated fast-recovery diodes are fabricated utilizing HiPerFRED technology that provides fast recovery with soft characteristics, and low operating forward-voltage losses.

Pricing for the MII 400-12E8 starts at $175 in 100-piece quantities. Prototyping quantities are available from stock, and lead times for production quantities run 8 to 12 weeks.
