MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) is making waves at the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC) 2024 this week as it showcases a diverse portfolio of solutions tailored to the latest trends in power electronics. From energy harvesting and electric vehicle (EV) powertrains to power tools and switching regulators, Vishay is demonstrating its commitment to driving innovation in the industry.
The spotlight at booth 1607 is firmly on Vishay’s newly launched 1200 V MaxSiC™ series silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs. These devices offer on-resistances of 40, 80, and 250 mΩ in standard packages, catering to a range of industrial applications. Custom products are also available to meet specific needs.
As part of its future roadmap, Vishay has plans for 650 V to 1700 V SiC MOSFETs with on-resistances ranging from 12 mΩ to 1 Ω. These products leverage the company’s proprietary MOSFET technology, a result of its recent acquisition of MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc. This technology will cater to market needs in traction inverter, photovoltaic energy storage, on-board charger, and charging station applications.
Vishay’s experts are also discussing future releases of the MaxSiC platform at APEC 2024, including automotive-grade products that meet AEC-Q101 standards.
Demonstrations at the conference highlight the performance of various Vishay products, such as IHPT haptic actuators, the THJP ThermaWick® Thermal Jumper, and several chip resistors. The thermal capabilities of PCAN and RCP high power thin and thick film resistors are also on show.
Application-based demonstrations include an 800 V SiC MOSFET heat pump, a high voltage intelligent battery shunt for 400 V and 800 V batteries, a six-phase DC/DC converter for mild hybrid vehicles, and a semiconductor-based, resettable eFuse for 800 V EV systems.
Additional Vishay passive components on display at APEC 2024 include the IHDM series of high current, edge-wound through-hole inductors, hybrid planar and integrated transformers, wireless charging coils, NTC thermistors, PTC thermistors, including the PTCEL series, and robust metallized polypropylene film capacitors.
Highlighted Vishay Semiconductor solutions include the SiC967 high voltage synchronous buck regulator with integrated power MOSFETs and inductors, 400 V, 600 V, and 1200 V standard rectifiers in SlimDPAK 2L and SMPD 2L packages with high creepage distance, and transient voltage suppressors (TVS).
APEC 2024, held at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center in California, is the leading event in applied power electronics, focusing on the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics business. It provides an ideal platform for industry leaders like Vishay to showcase their latest innovations and discuss future developments.
