Vishay Showcasing Inductors, Rectifiers, MOSFETs, Capacitors, and Resistors at APEC 2019

March 13, 2019 by Scott McMahan

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced its product lineup for the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC) 2019, March 17-21 in Anaheim, California. Exhibiting in booth #411, Vishay will highlight its latest power ICs, passive components, diodes, and MOSFETs for a wide range of applications.

Vishay Siliconix power ICs on display at APEC 2019 will include the SiC9xx microBRICK™ family of high-efficiency dc-dc buck regulators. Featuring integrated magnetics, the solutions combine a robust design with ease of use for telecommunications, industrial, and server applications.

Also on display will be 80A SiC8xx VRPower® smart power stages. Utilizing Vishay's latest 25V and 30V trench MOSFETs, the devices offer 95% peak efficiency and high accuracy of ±3%.

The showcased Vishay Siliconix power MOSFETs will feature a variety of advanced packages that enable high efficiency and increased power density. Devices on display will include fourth-generation 600V E Series MOSFETs with on-resistance from 23mΩ to 1450mΩ and what the company claims to be the lowest FOM (gate charge times on-resistance figure of merit) for PFC and hard-switched dc-dc converter topologies. For industrial motor drive control, solar micro-inverters, and wearables, low voltage TrenchFET® Gen IV devices will be on display that provide on-resistance down to 0.58mΩ and the industry's lowest QOSS times on-resistance FOM.

Featured Vishay Semiconductors diodes will include new FRED Pt® Gen 5 1200V Ultrafast and Hyperfast rectifiers for PFC and output rectification stages. Boasting the best conduction and switching loss trade-off for devices in their class, the company says that the 30A and 6A rectifiers offer up to 15% greater efficiency than competing silicon solutions.

Also on display will be TMBS® devices in the SlimDPAK (TO-252AE) package, standard recovery rectifiers with ESD capability in the low profile SMPA (DO-221BC), and FRED Pt® Ultrafast devices with current ratings to 2A in the MicroSMP (DO-219AD). Highlighted modules will include 650V Ultrafast, single-phase bridge and 1200V standard dual-mode devices in the SOT-227, while high-voltage thyristors and diodes with AEC-Q101 qualification will be available in four package options.

Passive components on display will comprise a broad range of the company's resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

Displayed resistors will include new Vishay BCcomponents VDR metal oxide varistors (MOV) with operating temperatures to +125 °C and surge capability to 13kA. Featured thick film devices will include Vishay Techno high- and medium-voltage chips and dividers, pulse-proof Vishay Draloric resistors, AEC-Q200 qualified Vishay Sfernice devices, Vishay MCB power resistors, and Vishay Dale aluminum nitride devices. Thin film resistors will consist of Vishay Dale high-power chips and Vishay Beyschlag / Draloric AEC-Q200-qualified chips and MELF devices.

In addition, Vishay Draloric will showcase wire-wound safety fusible resistors and compact aluminum-housed resistors. Vishay Milwaukee will exhibit dynamic braking and neutral grounding resistors and Vishay MCB highlights water-cooled devices with power up to 9000W. For temperature sensing, Vishay BCcomponents AEC-Q200 qualified NTC lug sensors and thermistor dies will be shown, as well as the PTCEL inrush current limiter for energy load-dump.

Vishay BCcomponents will display new miniature snap-in and screw-terminal aluminum capacitors and X1, X2, and Y2 EMI suppression film devices qualified to IEC 60384-14: 2013 / AMD1: 2016 grade IIIB, in addition to ceramic safety capacitors with the ability to pass an 85 / 85 1000-hour test and ENYCAP™ electrical double-layer energy storage devices.

Ceramic disc capacitors will include new Vishay Cera-Mite screw-mounting devices with voltage ratings to 50kVdc (34 kVRMS) and radial-leaded Vishay Roederstein capacitors with a capacitance of 2nF at 15kV rated voltage in compact sizes.

Vishay Roederstein will also exhibit ac filer and dc-link metalized polypropylene devices. For alternative energy, transportation, and industrial applications, Vishay ESTA will showcase water-cooled induction heating capacitors, 3-phase assemblies, and LVAC power capacitors with ESTAspring, as well as the first lever-operated spring terminal connection.

Vishay Dale's lineup of low-profile, high-current inductors will feature automotive grade IHLP® series devices with operating temperatures up to +180°C in nine footprint variants and 18 height profiles; IHLE series inductors with integrated e-field shields for EMI reduction; and IHDM series power inductors featuring powdered iron alloy core technology for stable saturation performance. Vishay Custom Magnetics solutions featured will include new miniature planar gate drive transformers for buses up to 1200 V and hybrid planar transformers with high power density and a low package height of 16.5mm.

Vishay will also demonstrate several products at its booth, including the Vishay Techno CDMM thick-film, surface-mount chip divider; Vishay Beyschlag MELF resistors; Vishay Dale RCP thick-film and PCAN thin-film, high-power, surface-mount chip resistors; Vishay BCcomponents 196 HVC ENYCAP hybrid energy storage capacitors; Vishay Dale IHLE inductors; Vishay Custom Magnetics TPL series hybrid planar transformers; and Vishay Siliconix microBUCK and microBRICK power ICs.
