SEOUL, South Korea and
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MagnaChip
Semiconductor Corporation ("MagnaChip") (NYSE: MX), a designer and
manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor platform
solutions, today announced that volume production has commenced for
an IGBT product for power module targeted to high-voltage
industrial applications. IGBT is one of a MagnaChip family of Power
standard products called Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors.
The new IGBT P-series ("MBW100T120PHF") has both high current
and high voltage capabilities of 1200V and 100A, and has achieved a
low saturation voltage Vce(sat) of 1.71V and low switching losses
by using Field-Stop Trench technology. MBW100T120PHF allows
designers to operate devices at an improved switching frequency,
which enables reducing the size and cost of capacitors and
inductive devices in circuits. To product designers, this
translates into high power density, small size and low material
cost of products. MBW100T120PHF is operable up to four times the
rated current, and with a wide SOA (Safe Operating Area)
well-suited for industrial applications which require high power.
In addition, by optimizing the resistance embedded inside the chip,
MBW100T120PHF enables a parallel structure design, which allows
multiple chips to operate simultaneously.
MBW100T120PHF is expected to improve overall system stability
and energy efficiency of applications by reducing the power loss
from DC-AC power conversions for high-voltage industrial
applications, such as 10kW+ 3-phase motor and photovoltaic inverter
systems.
"We are pleased to launch our newest IGBT P-series product for
industrial power modules, with high-voltage and high-current
capabilities of 1200V and 100A," said YJ Kim, CEO of MagnaChip.
"The introduction of this IGBT P-series product will further expand
our IGBT power product portfolio and enhance our reputations as a
market leader of high-voltage power standard products."
