International Rectifier, IR® (NYSE: IRF), a world leader in
power management technology, today announced that the company’s
Generation 8 (Gen8) 1200V Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)
technology platform and IR3847 SupIRBuck® high current
integrated voltage regulator have been named winners of the prestigious
2014 China Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards.
IR’s Gen8 IGBT platform won the High Performance Component of the Year
category of the 2014 China ACE Awards. The Gen8 IGBTs utilize IR’s
latest generation Trench Gate Field Stop technology to offer benchmark
performance for industrial and energy saving applications. The novel
design allows best-in-class Vce(on) to reduce power dissipation and
increase power density, and delivers superior robustness.
The IR3847 was named Outstanding Power Semiconductor/Voltage Converter
Product of the Year. The IR3847 extends the current rating of IR’s third
generation SupIRBuck® family up to 25A in a compact 5x6 mm
package. As a result of a new thermally enhanced package using copper
clip and several proprietary innovations in the controller, the IR3847
can operate at 25A without heatsink, and reduces PCB size by 20%
compared to alternative integrated solutions and 70% compared to
discrete solutions using a controller and power MOSFETs. A complete 25A
power supply solution can be implemented in as little as 168mm2.
“IR’s Gen8 IGBTs and IR3847 SupIRBuck® devices meet our
customers’ needs by delivering benchmark performance and density in
their respective applications, and we are delighted to receive these
prestigious awards in recognition of our market-leading innovations from
the China engineering community,” said Adam White, IR’s Senior Vice
President, Global Sales.
The China Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards honor the
technologies, companies and people that have shaped innovative
electronic design in Mainland China.
