SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 17, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq:AOSL), a designer, developer and global
supplier of a broad range of power semiconductors and power ICs, today announced the addition of AOK30B135W1 to its 1350V
AlphaIGBT™ family. The new AOK30B135W1 has been optimized to deliver high performance by reducing switching loss in soft-switching
home appliance applications such as induction cooking, rice cookers, and inverter-based microwave ovens.

The AOK30B135W1 is designed with the latest patent-pending AlphaIGBT™ technology platform and features industry-leading low
VCE (SAT) and a quick turn-off to ease power loss throughout the conduction and switching process. The exceptional
BVCES rating and durable BV performance allow for enhanced safety voltage margin to avoid substantial damage from
voltage transients. Additionally, EMI is decreased as a result of soft turn-off current waveforms.
“The technology of induction heating provides precise cooking, a safer and cooler heating surface, and efficient heating of
conductive materials,” said Dr. Brian Suh, Vice President of IGBT product line at AOS. “Highly efficient and rugged AOK30B135W1
enables robust and reliable operation of the heating system as well as an ideal combination of conduction and switching
losses.”
Technical Highlights
- 1350V IGBTs with freewheeling diode in a TO-247 package
- High breakdown voltage offers ample design margin to improve system reliability
- Lowest turn-off delay time, less than 200ns
- IC (100°C) = 30A
- TJ(max) = 175°C
Pricing and Availability
The AOK30B135W1 is immediately available in production quantities with a lead-time of 12-14 weeks. The unit price for
10,000 pieces is $1.5.
