Advertorials Power Integrations’ SCALE-iDriver ICs now available with
AEC-Q100 Certification for automotive use Safe, reliable and reinforced isolation for applications up to 1200 V
Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI), the leader in gate-driver technology for medium- and high- voltage inverter applications, today announced that two members of its SCALE-iDriver™ gate-driver IC family are now certified to AEC-Q100 Grade Level 1 for automotive use. The two parts, SID1132KQ and SID1182KQ, are suitable for driving 650 V, 750 V and 1200 V automotive IGBT and SiC-MOSFET modules, and are rated for peak currents of +/-2.5 A and +/-8 A respectively. The SID1182KQ has the highest output current of any isolated gate driver available and is capable of driving a 600 A /1200 V and 820 A /750 V switch.
The SCALE-iDriver family of single-channel IGBT and SiC-MOSFET driver ICs features Power Integrations’ innovative FluxLink™ magneto-inductive bi-directional communication technology which ensures reinforced galvanic isolation between the primary and secondary sides, setting a new standard in isolation integrity and stability. FluxLink technology eliminates the need for opto-electronics, which suffer parametric changes with age and relentless thermal degradation that limits operational lifetime. Use of magnetically-coupled conductors locked into a homogenous thermoset, high quality insulation greatly enhances operational stability and longevity. The devices utilize Power Integrations’ compact and robust eSOP package, which offers a CTI level of 600, 9.5 mm creepage and clearance distance, and easily meets automotive 5500 m requirements.

New LFPAK56 MOSFETs from Nexperia feature
Nexperia, the global leader in discretes, logic and MOSFET devices, today announced that two of its LFPAK56-packaged portfolio of MOSFETs are now available with improved creepage and clearance to meet UL2595 requirements for battery-powered equipment rated between 15 and 32 V. Devices are 100% compatible with the industry-standard Power-SO8 footprint; no other compact, surface-mount devices yet meet UL2595 which calls for minimum creepage and clearance distances of 1.5mm between Source and Drain terminals.
Unlike some competing Power-SO8 types which are constructed using wire bonding, Nexperia’s LFPAK56 package uses a copper clip which is soldered in a single operation to the surface of the die. This reduces spreading resistance and gives LFPAK56 superior electrical and thermal characteristics as well as increased reliability. The new PSMN0R9-30ULD and PSMN1R0-40ULD N-channel MOSFETs in the enhanced SOT1023A package feature a creepage distance of 1.5mm and a clearance distance of 1.55mm. The PSMN0R9-30ULD device is rated at 30 V, offering 0.87 m and 300 A, the PSMN1R0-40ULD is rated at 40 V, with 1.1 m and 280 A.

and lighter, 80% lower cost UK company, On-Systems, has launched a revolutionary disruptive technology; delivers new technology platform for harsh-environment PSUs
On-Systems, a young British company that specializes in innovative power supply design for harsh environments, has launched Pebble, a new COTS, rugged, EMI-silent laptop power supply for defence, avionics and mobile applications that is a fraction of the size, weight and cost of current designs. Pebble is the first in a series of harsh- environment PSUs from the company which combine a new topology, custom-designed FET drivers and fast switching speed to deliver industry- changing benefits.
On-Systems’ new topology combines three stages into one, reducing I²R losses and increasing efficiency. On-Systems has worked with a leading power semiconductor company to design new very fast FET drivers, allowing the Pebble to switch at up to 40 times typical switching frequencies. This high speed reduces the size of the EMC filtering components required, such that the laptop PSU meets all defence EMC performance standards, including MIL-STD 1275A-E, MIL-STD 704A-F, DEF-STAN 59-411 and MIL-STD 461 E-F EMC, in a package measuring just 115 x 52 x 36mm and weighing only 180g. Pebble is 96% efficient, operates over universal AC input range and wide DC input range, features short circuit, overload and overvoltage protection, and carries a four year warranty.
