Z3-P00EB0-1205030ND Sanken Electronics is a manufacturer specialized in power electronics and power semiconductors. Power electronics runs electronic devices efficiently and very accurately by control and conversion of electric power. The term refers to both technologies and products that involve two overlapping fields of power and electronics. The applications are found in a diverse array of industries ranging from home appliances and audio visual equipment, to automobiles which are increasingly becoming electronized. The key device is a power semiconductor. Sanken Electric Co., Ltd. Power Electronics in Our Everyday Lives Hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity generated at power stations are converted into 100V and/or 200V alternating currents (AC) by substations and supplied to households, offices, facilities, and other destinations. These currents are, however, unable to run home appliances and office automation equipment as is. For instance, PCs consist of microcomputers and various other electronic components which run at 3V or 5V direct current (DC). This requires conversion of voltage. Sanken’s power semiconductors and other power electronics products are used to control electric power for a variety of devices and systems including automobiles which are increasingly becoming electronized, air conditioning systems within buildings, and mobile communication base stations. These lights are installed on tall structures required by law to have obstruction lights, such as elevated bridges, chimneys, and other high-rise buildings. These lights are flashing strobe-like and non-stop to ensure safe air navigation.

Their characteristic lies in that they handle high voltages and large currents. LSIs such as microcomputers and memories are well known semiconductors. These are designed to perform computations and memorization tasks, while power semiconductors control power supplies (electric power) and supply power to run motors, charge batteries, or run microcomputers and LSIs by performing AC to DC conversions, reducing voltage to appropriate operating level such as 5V or 3V.

Transistors are elements which are the basis of electronic circuits. They perform amplification and switching operations Amplification is to convert a small amount of electricity to a large amount of electricity. For instance, the act of turning up the volume of small sounds in earphones to those coming through loud speakers is amplification. Switching means turning ON and OFF large current and high voltage electricity with only a small amount of electric power, such as to drive display screens, and to run motors, etc. OFF Collector (C) You can find power semiconductors being used in various products around us. ■ Task performed by power semiconductors Transform electric currents to get electricity more noise-free, accurate and economical.

When a large number of diodes, transistors, and other circuit elements 10mm are combined onto a single silicon chip, they are called large-scale integrated circuits (LSIs). These circuits perform rectification, amplification, memorization tasks, arithmetic operations, etc. IC 17m m Electricity flows from high voltage (+) down to low voltage (-), just like water. For instance, prepare two electric wires, place a diode and electric bulb half way up each wire, and connect these wires to batteries, as shown in the illustration to the right. In the case of ❶, electricity flows through the wire and lights up the bulb. In the case of ❷, however, no electricity flows through the wire. This is because the diode is a semiconductor which serves as a tap valve to allow electricity to flow in only one direction. Integrated circuits (ICs) Light up the bulb Diode Electricity flows Battery Diode Battery Thousands or tens of thousands of diodes and transistors are formed onto a single chip. No electricity flows Its real task is a rectifier for AC to DC conversions. Diodes designed for this purpose are called rectifier diodes (rectifier elements). It is AC currents that are supplied to households. However, DC currents are required to run electronic equipment circuits. Rectifier diodes perform AC to DC conversions.

Alternator High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps Alternators are generators that supply electricity to batteries and various types of automobile electric components. They generate electricity by rotational power supplied by the engine. Since the generated electric power is three-phase AC electricity, however, it cannot be directly fed to various loads. A rectifier diode needs to convert the power to DC currents, while a regulator adjusts voltage. Perform rectification Three-phase AC electricity HID lamps emit light by an electric discharge. Thus it is necessary to apply high voltage. AC currents (rectangular waves) light up theses lights. The DC/DC converter increases battery voltage, and then the HID driver IC converts DC currents to AC currents (rectangular waves). ・Keep alternator output voltage consistent ・Batteries efficiently by comparing voltage DC currents DC currents Convert DC currents to AC currents required to light up the lamp.
