IXYS
Power semiconductors, thyristors and power-control devices
About the manufacturer
IXYS Corporation was a manufacturer of power semiconductors used in power electronics, industrial automation and electrical equipment. It specialised in devices for high currents and voltages, where cooling capability and overload robustness are as important as nominal ratings.
The range included MOSFETs, IGBTs, thyristors, power diodes, semiconductor modules and drivers. IXYS was acquired by Littelfuse in 2018, and many established part numbers continue within that group's portfolio.
Power-stage design requires analysis of blocking voltage, continuous and pulse currents, conduction and switching losses and thermal resistance. Heatsink selection, isolation and mounting conditions are particularly important for modules handling substantial electrical energy.
