Powerex

Powerex Powerex turns ideas into cost-effective products of discrete, modular and integrated high power semiconductor solutions, supporting many markets, including: AC and DC Motor Controls, Aircraft, Alternative Energy (WIND, Photovoltaic), Communications, Electrical, Industrial Heating, Medical Power Supplies, Transportation, UPS, Vehicles, and Welding.
The line-up includes POW-R-BLOK™, SCR and Diode Modules, IGBTs, HVIGBTs, Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs), Rectifiers, Thyristors, Custom Power Modules and Assemblies. Powerex Semiconductors are ideally suited to applications in:

Powerex products Powerex offering in the power semiconductor space is unavoidable. Powerex is a prime manufacture of IGBTs. The company, Powerex has a lot to offer in the IGBT space. The Powerex IGBT/HVIGBT line-up of Powerex self-manufactured devices employ CSTBT (Carrier Stored Trench-Gate Bipolar Transistor) technology. Powerex IGBTs supports less power loss and miniaturization tailored for industrial applications. Powerex HVIGBTs and HV diodes, feature highly insulating housings. Powerex IGBTs offer enhanced protection by means of greater creepage and strike clearance distance for many demanding applications.

Gate Driver & DC/DC Converter for SiC

Features include: Adjustable for most SiC modules, Dual gate drive circuits, Short circuit detection with soft gate shut down. Powerex gate drivers are power amplifiers that take signal-level control input and create the desired gate drive output for power transistors. Powerex supplies sub components for gate drive assembly and plug and play options for quick prototyping and in-field production.

Powerex continues to expand Powerex's product offering with the newest power semiconductor technology, Silicon Carbide (SiC). SiC offers significant advantages over traditional silicon-based devices in power applications requiring low losses, high frequency switching and/or high temperature environments. This product line includes cutting edge SiC (silicon carbide) MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) modules as well as hybrid Si/SiC (Si IGBT/SiC SBD) modules.

Designing Custom Modules

Your custom module can be designed to meet any package size requirements for a new or drop-in replacement module. A prototype is a significant step on the path from an idea to production. Powerex's team will deliver your requirements through validation, manufacturability reviews, and qualification.

POWEREX manufacture a wide range of Power Semiconductors ranging from thyristors and diodes through to IGBT, Silicon Carbide and custom power modules. POWEREX are jointly owned by Mitsubishi Electric and GE. The product portfolio is based on core technologies of:
