Power Module Solutions

As subsystem designs get more complicated and board space becomes more valuable, many designers are considering using Silicon (Si) or Silicon Carbide (SiC) based power modules instead of traditional discrete DC-DC Point-of-Load (POL) designs to reduce board size, improve reliability and performance and speed up time to market.

How Can a Power Module Solve Your Design Challenges?

  • Save board space and reduce PCB complexity
  • Excellent thermal performance delivered in a small package
  • Pre-characterized EMI and DC performance (low-/medium-voltage power modules)
  • Standard and customizable product options (high-voltage power modules)
  • Standard and customized Silicon (Si) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) power modules

Product Categories

Baseplate-less Power Modules

Our family of baseplate-less power modules is engineered to reduce weight by up to 40% and add substantial price improvements over traditional metal base plate modules. When used with our broad portfolio of Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductor technology solutions, these baseplate-less power modules provide significant efficiency advantages while meeting all the mechanical and environmental compliance guidelines for airborne equipment.

Hybrid Power Devices

Our Hybrid Power Drive (HPD) module is a cost-effective unit integrating a power bridge and a driver stage. Its output power rating starts at 5 kVA. The standard substrate design is composed of a three-phase inverter bridge circuit implemented with SiC Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) and SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs).

Integrated Actuation Power Solution

Our cost-effective, plug-and-play Integrated Actuation Power Solution combines a Hybrid Power Drive (HPD) and a compatible driver board that provides intelligence, scalability, design flexibility, reliability, faster time to market and high power density for aircraft power system applications in More Electric Aircraft (MEA), cargo planes, small planes, defense avionics, electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, drones and multicopters.

Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs)

The new seventh generation of IGBT power modules is now available in seven packages across 49 parts. These devices feature lower VCE(sat) and Vf, overload capacity at Tj 175°C, 50% higher current capability, enhanced controllability of dv/dt, improved freewheeling diode softness and simpler driving compared to previous legacy generations. These features offer a differentiated value proposition of high power density, durability, reduced system costs, higher efficiency, ease of use and faster time to market.
