    SiC diodes from IXYS offer three configurations for flexible connection and layout options

    09/04/2013

    IXYS, a leader in power semiconductors, mixed-signal and digital ICs for power conversion and motion control applications, announced the introduction of the SS150 and SS275 series high-power Silicon Carbide (SiC) diodes by its IXYS Colorado division. Three diode configurations provide designers with flexible connection and layout options. Packaged in our low inductance, surface mount DE Series package, these products provide excellent switching performance. The SS150 and SS275 are both available in 600V, 10A and 1200V, 5A ratings. Standard internal configurations include: TI - Triple Independent - no common connections TA - Triple Anode - anodes are tied together TC - Triple Cathode - cathodes are tied together The use of Silicon Carbide allows extremely fast switching, high frequency operation, with zero recovery and temperature independent behavior. Coupled with our low inductance RF package, these diodes can be utilized in any number of fast switching diode circuits or high frequency converter applications. SS150 & SS275 Features: Surface Mount Package 600V, 10A and 1200V, 5A Available Zero Reverse Recovery Zero Forward Recovery High Frequency Operation Temperature Independent Behavior Low Inductance Positive Temperature Coefficient for Vf "The SS150 and SS275 High Power SiC Diode Modules allow designers more flexible design options with high frequency applications," commented Stephen Krausse, General Manager of IXYS Colorado.
