Application Support

Today, increased product diversity in power semiconductors calls for customer support far beyond the information contained in data sheets. We have built a network across the globe to provide fast, comprehensive application support.

Application Expertise Is Our Strength

Our application engineering teams work with our customers throughout the entire project life cycle. We strive to understand and help our customers overcome both big and small challenges throughout their projects. For example, we conduct circuit topology studies to fully understand the advantages in the end user application and carry out benchmark investigations on power modules. It is this application-centered approach that sets us apart from others.

Our design support begins with thermal calculations and device selection based on the application. Our powerful SemiSel tool allows engineers to duplicate our calculation results, offering full trust and transparency in the results. This calculation tool makes it easy to begin heatsink design and our knowledge of thermal interface materials ensures high performance and ease-of-assembly.

Product Design Assistance

For integrating the power module into a system, we are experts in driver selection, PCB, and DC link design. Our knowledge of European and UL standards makes it easy for us to assist in tasks such as insulation coordination around our power modules. In many cases, physical Application Samples or Reference Designs are available for customers to quickly evaluate a new power module.

Only comparison under application-specific conditions – such as voltage, switching frequency or cooling conditions – can demonstrate the differences in performance of available devices. Therefore, we are equipped with high-power test benches for analyzing switching characteristics as well as operation in 2- and 3-level converter configurations.

With industry-leading knowledge of power cycling and a wealth of real-world application experience, we can assist in designing products for long operational life.
