SEMIKRON has established a support and production structure to handle specific customer demands in a fast and effective way with a dedicated application support team, an experienced R&D team and flexible module production.
Benefits
The power module market mainly uses standard electrical configurations and modules. However, new and innovative approaches are often difficult to realise with standard modules. In many cases, a custom solution is the only way to implement technological advantages along with cost effectiveness and acceptable time to market. Using standard modules, a timeconsuming development process may be needed to achieve the desired solution. Moreover, the final configuration is often characterised by a high degree of complexity, an increased volume consumption and a complicated PCB routing, which counterbalances the advantages of new concepts. Time-to-market increases, sometimes jeopardising the success of the project. Customised modules can overcome these drawbacks. Using custom electrical configurations, the number of modules can often be reduced as the customised modules are designed for a specific functionality and feature only the needed requirements. PCB design efforts are reduced, saving development time and cost. A reduced bill of materials and easier logistics are achieved. In addition, a lower complexity of the final design leads to easier and more straightforward assembly processes. Custom solutions are often the best way to implement innovative concepts, are cost effective, can reduce time to market and lead to competitive products.
