Vincotech Power Modules Featuring a Split Output

November 23, 2012

Unterhaching, Germany – November 23rd, 2012. Customers want smaller, even more affordable devices, compelling manufacturers to conserve installation space and cut costs. To do both, engineers have to come up with new designs that combine technologies in unprecedented ways. The trend tendency towards IGBTs and MOSFETs with higher switching frequencies is also picking up momentum, particularly for solar inverters and other applications where high efficiency is a must. This places even greater demands on drivers and power supply modules. In many applications, IGBTs and MOSFETs are driven by unipolar gate voltage, which presents considerable challenges when it comes to parasitic turn-on. … Read More → "Vincotech Power Modules Featuring a Split Output"
