Dynex Power Inc. (Canada) announced the release of new high-power 3,300V IGBT semiconductors packaged in industry-standard isolated module outlines. The products were originally developed to meet the standards of the railway-traction industries and are suitable for industrial motor drives, power supplies and power-conversion products.

The first products to be released are a 3,300V, 800A single-switch IGBT module with a 130mm x 140mm footprint, and a 3,300V, 1,200A single-switch IGBT module with a 140mm x 190mm footprint. The packages achieve 6,000V isolation and have a full 10usec short-circuit withstand rating.

"This product release is in line with the product-development roadmap we put together at the beginning of the year. We are continuing to make progress with new product launches where we are seeing the best long-term market demand for our technologies," said Dr. Paul Taylor, CTO of the company.

The new high-power versions have already been ordered in prototype quantities and are now being released into production.
