Advantages of Powerex power semiconductors

High power density

Power density refers to the amount of power that can be delivered per unit of volume or area. In other words, it is a measure of how much power can be packed into a small space. Powerex semiconductors are designed to deliver high power density, making them ideal for use in space-constrained applications such as electric vehicles and mobile devices.

Low voltage drop

The forward voltage drop is the voltage that drops across the semiconductor when it conducts electricity. The lower the voltage drop, the more efficiently the semiconductor converts electrical energy into other forms of energy. Powerex semiconductors are designed to have a low voltage drop when turned on, which makes them more efficient and helps reduce power dissipation.

Excellent thermal management

When semiconductors are used to switch high currents, they can generate a significant amount of heat. If this heat is not properly dissipated, the semiconductor can fail or degrade over time. Powerex semiconductors are designed to provide excellent thermal management to ensure reliable performance over the long term.

Outstanding protection functions

Powerex semiconductors also provide excellent protection against overcurrent, overvoltage and short circuit. These protections help ensure that the semiconductor is not damaged in the event of a fault and also protect other components in the system from damage.
