IXYS adds new smaller package gate turn off thyristor to portfolio Press Release
●Biel, Switzerland, May 30th, 2013 — IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:IXYS) an international power and IC semiconductor company, today announced that its wholly owned UK subsidiary, IXYS UK Westcode Ltd., launched a 500A, 2.5KV GTO thyristor in a new smaller package.
●The new GTO (gate turn-off) thyristor rated at 500A & 2.5kV is based on IXYS UKs established S500KC device; the die design has the same active area and performance, but with an improved termination design which allows the device to be encapsulated in a smaller 25mm pole face package. As with all IXYS UKs small area devices the die uses our proven and reliable long finger pattern emitter technology, which offers unrivalled thermal cycling and mechanical durability. The device uses an all diffused process and is part of IXYS UKs extensive symmetrical structured portfolio, using life-time control techniques to give optimum switching and on-state losses. The die is encapsulated in a fully hermetic package.
●“This new introduction demonstrates IXYS UKs continued commitment to manufacture these small die GTO thyristors when most of the competition has withdrawn such products. This particular device was a perceived gap in our portfolio and ensures IXYS UK is able to support our customers in replacing now obsoleted competitor parts as a one stop suppler for all their GTO thyristor needs,” commented Frank Wakeman, IXYS UK’s Marketing & Technical Support Manager.
●The device is available in two different voltage grades. Designations are: S0500YC20Y (Vdrm 2000 Volts & Vrrm 100 Volts) and S0500YC20Y (Vdrm 2500 Volts & Vrrm 100 Volts).
