IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:SYXI) announces the expansion
of its offering of 500V and 1000V Depletion-Mode Power MOSFETs,
including new current ratings, package options and reduced cost. This
family of Power MOSFETs operate in a 'normally-on' mode, not requiring
energy or gate voltage for turn on. The operating mode, with internal
diode and enhanced linear operating capability make them ideal for
dynamic loads applications, current control for current sources and
current regulators and biasing off the high voltage DC line in power
systems.
Fabricated using IXYS' low on-resistance HDMOS(TM) process, they
provide for simplified control and reduced 'high line' voltage
dissipation when used for line interface in off-line applications.
Ideal applications include current regulation, solid-state relays,
level shifting, load switch, active loads, start-up circuits and
active power filters. These devices shine in high energy efficiency
applications as a 'normally-on' switch since they do not require
energy or voltage for turn-on. With the high degree of current
regulation, these devices can act as active inductors with high
dynamic impedance in power filter applications to limit voltage and
current noise and spikes. These unique MOSFETs can also be used as
active circuit protection to limit current flow in the event of an
overload or short-circuit.
In high voltage applications, Depletion-Mode Power MOSFETs are
ideal for reducing power dissipation. A resistor normally used in
these types of applications experiences dissipation proportional to
the square of the input voltage, reducing efficiency and increasing
cost due to the need for high cost power resistors. Depletion-Mode
Power MOSFETs can be used to replace the line interface resistor with
a near constant current source, reducing power dissipation, cost and
circuit board area.
500V versions include the IXTY02N50D (TO-251), IXTU02N50D (TO-252)
and the IXTP02N50D (TO-220) rated at 200mA, and the IXTH20N50D
(TO-247) and IXTT20N50D (TO-268) rated at 20A. 1000V versions include
the IXTY01N100D (TO-251), IXTU01N100D (TO-252) and the IXTP01N100D
(TO-220) rated at 100mA, and the IXTH10N100D (TO-247) and IXTT10N100D
(TO-268) rated at 10A. Further information regarding IXYS
