This document provides an overview of the activities of SEMiNEWS China in the second half of 2009, as well as the introduction of their new product sKiiP® 4 intelligent power module. The sKiiP® 4 module has a longer lifespan and higher operating temperature compared to modules using welding technology. It is suitable for applications in wind energy, solar energy, power traction, and high-power industrial drives.
This application note provides information on using a gate resistor (RG) to control the switching of IGBTs. The information provided is only intended as guidance and does not provide complete design rules. The information is not exhaustive and the suitability of a design is for the user to decide.
Semikron has introduced a new technology and logistics service that integrates the processing of thermal coatings for power modules. They use automated screen printing and statistical process control to ensure consistent quality of the coatings. This service is available for the MiniSKiiP® product series, providing efficient cooling and reliability.
This application note provides information on connecting gate drivers to controllers and IGBT modules. This information will help to minimize the risk of faults caused by electromagnetic interference, signal oscillation or induced noise in the gate driver and IGBT module.
