- Magnachip commences full-scale mass production of 1200V
and 650V IGBTs for PTC heaters of electric vehicles
SEOUL,
South Korea, Sept. 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Magnachip Semiconductor
Corporation ("Magnachip" or "Company") (NYSE: MX) announced today
the launch of its 1200V and 650V Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors
(IGBTs), designed for the positive temperature coefficient (PTC)
heaters of electric vehicles (EVs).
Built upon Magnachip's cutting-edge Field Stop Trench
technology, the newly introduced AMBQ40T120RFRTH (1200V) and
AMBQ40T65PHRTH (650V) offer a minimum short-circuit withstand time
of 10µs. This remarkable level of ruggedness enables PTC heaters to
be protected from a permanent failure in the event of overcurrent
conditions.
Furthermore, the thick and large heat sink of the TO-247 package
allows these new IGBTs to excel in heat dissipation. Therefore,
these IGBTs are well-suited for applications requiring high power
and efficiency, such as both the upper and lower sides of power
management integrated circuits of PTC heaters.
"Since early last year, Magnachip has released high-performance
automotive power solutions that adhere to the stringent AEC-Q101
standards," said YJ Kim, CEO of Magnachip. "Now that we have
successfully released our first IGBT products for EVs, we will
continue to expand our product lineup to meet the diverse needs of
the EV market and cater to the demands of our valued
customers."
