At the PCIM 2008 Exhibition and Congress in Nuremberg, Infineon Technologies AG introduced its new MIPAQ family of IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) modules that offers a very high level of integration. The MIPAQ (Modules Integrating Power, Application and Quality) products enable highly efficient power inverter designs to be used in Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS); industrial drives, such as compressors, pumps and fans; solar power plants; and air conditioning systems.

Ultra-low turn-off energy boosts efficiency and enables higher operating frequencies

STMicroelectronics, a world leader in power semiconductors, has introduced IGBTs that use innovative and efficient lifetime-control techniques to reduce energy loss during turn off. New devices, including the STGxL6NC60D 600V PowerMESH IGBT, allow designers to use robust, low-cost IGBT technology in energy-sensitive circuits such as lighting ballasts operating well above 20kHz, achieving greater overall efficiency than standard-technology MOSFETs.
