900V Polar HiPerFETTM Power MOSFETs
rugged, energy efficient mosfet solutions for power conversion systems
january 2010
OVERVIEW
IXYS expands its Polar HiPerFETTM MOSFET product portfolio with the introduction of its new 900V
HiPerFETTM Power MOSFETs. Available with drain current ratings from 10.5 Amperes to 56 Amperes,
these new 900V additions compliment IXYS’ high-voltage Polar HiPerFETTM MOSFET product line
(Available from 500V to 1200V), providing the end-customer a broader selection range of robust,
energy-efficient high-voltage MOSFET solutions to choose from. These new 900V devices combine
advantages derived from IXYS’ Polar Technology platform and HiPerFETTM process to provide improved
power efficiency and reliability in today’s demanding high-voltage conversion systems that require
bus voltage operation of up to 700V.
IXYS’ Polar Technology platform has been especially tailored to minimize on-state resistance while
maintaining low gate charge, thus providing a FOM (Figure of Merit: Rdson multiplied by Qg) as low
as 48Ohm/nanocoulomb, resulting in a substantial reduction in conduction and switching losses of
the device. Lower thermal impedances are also achieved due to reduced chip thicknesses, increasing
total power density of the device. Power switching capabilities and device ruggedness of these
devices is further enhanced through the utilization of IXYS’ HiPerFETTM process, yielding a device with
a fast intrinsic diode for low reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and improved turn-off dV/dt immunity.
The enhanced dV/dt withstand capability of these devices offer significant safety margins for the
stresses encountered in high-voltage switching applications. These combined device attributes allow
for improved efficient topologies in hard-switching inverters, switch-mode/resonant-mode power
supplies, high voltage lighting, AC/DC motor drives, Robotics/servo controls, industrial machinery,
and active power factor correction circuits.
IXYS offers a full range of discrete standard thru-hole and surface mount packages for these new 900V
Polar HiPerFETTM devices. In addition, versions will be offered in IXYS proprietary ISOPLUS packages,
providing UL recognized 2500V isolation with superior thermal cycling and thermal performance.
