onsemi Solutions for Energy Infrastructure
onsemi Solutions for Energy Infrastructure address the landscape for energy generation, distribution, and storage that is rapidly evolving to fulfill targets set by government policy and increasing consumption. Heightened efficiency targets, reductions of CO2 emissions, and a focus on renewable and clean energy are key factors in this Energy Infrastructure Evolution. onsemi offers a comprehensive portfolio of energy efficient solutions to serve the demanding needs of high-power applications including Silicon Carbide (SiC) Diodes, Intelligent Power Modules, and Current Sense Amplifiers.
Solar Inverters
Solar power modules are one of the most common commercial and consumer choices for generating renewable energy. This renewable energy comes with the challenge of integrating a variable power source into a standardized electrical network. Solar inverters play a crucial role in rectifying the DC solar panel into an AC electrical grid. In addition to efficient AC/DC conversion, solar inverters are commonly used to monitor the non-linear response of photovoltaic diodes to ensure the maximum power is produced. onsemi offers a complete solution that is designed to sense, protect, and control energy from the cell to the grid.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
An uninterruptible power supply is vital for digital networks that are time and data-dependent. Computational analysis, data storage and distribution, telecommunication systems, and even select cities are all dependent on a constant power source that is promised by UPS. These protective power sources are commonly integrated into the flow of power. This ensures that battery or other storage devices are constantly being monitored and energized so that in the event of system failure, the UPS is at full support capacity. This monitoring, charging, and AC/DC rectification requires silicon that is not only capable but also efficient at high current states. onsemi offers a complete energy-efficient solution that is designed to control and convert electrical power whether or not there is a power failure.
Electric Vehicle Charging
Electric vehicle charging stations are the most essential components of the infrastructural makeup for EVs. Unlike solar conversion or backup power, EV charging stations are on the application edge. These stations need to be able to communicate and transfer power in a standardized format that allows for wide adaptability and usage. In addition to the complexities of fast charge time and efficient AC/DC rectification, EV charging stations also require safety and interactive features for the end user. onsemi offers a complete solution that is designed to quickly and seamlessly transfer electrical power to electric vehicles.
High Current Gate Drivers
onsemi’s NCD570x Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) Gate Drivers are high-current, high-performance devices for high-power applications, such as solar inverters, motor control, and Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPSs). These Gate Drivers are highly-integrated, offering a cost-effective solution by eliminating many external components and integrating protection features.
Current Sense Amplifiers
Current consumption monitoring provides critical information assisting in the safety and diagnostic functions of a system. onsemi offers current sense amplifiers that integrate external resistors to offer higher accuracy, a smaller solution, in addition to the cost-effective standalone Op Amps.
650V & 1200V IGBTs
onsemi’s 650V & 1200V Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) feature robust and cost effective Ultra Field Stop Trench construction, and provide superior performance in demanding switching applications, offering both low on state voltage and minimal switching loss.
650V SuperFET III MOSFETs
onsemi's 650V SuperFET III series offers high-performance super junction MOSFETs specifically designed for high power density. Featuring best-in-class FOM and Eoss, the SuperFET III technology reduces RDS(ON) by more than 40% in the same package size compared to previous industry-leading technology. This allows product designers to utilize the reduced package size or the increased power in the same footprint. The SuperFET III features a robust body diode and well-balanced switching behavior.
100V & 150V PowerTrench MOSFETs
These MOSFETs are produced using onsemi’s advanced PowerTrench® process that incorporates Shielded Gate technology. Advancements in both silicon and Dual Cool™ package technologies have been combined to offer the lowest rDS(on) while maintaining excellent switching performance by extremely low Junction-to-Ambient thermal resistance.
Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs)
onsemi’s power modules for Energy Infrastructure applications provide a fully-featured, high-performance Boost PFC (Power Factor Correction) input power stage. These modules integrate optimized gate drive of the built-in IGBT to minimize EMI and losses, while also providing multiple on-module protection features, including under-voltage lockout, over-current shutdown, thermal monitoring, and fault reporting.
Power Integrated Modules (PIMs)
Power Integrated Modules leverage onsemi’s extensive experience in automotive ignition IGBTs and intelligent power module (IPM) development, as well as packaging expertise to provide power solutions fully qualified to the highest industry standards. In addition, onsemi module solutions provide customers with a fully-integrated supply chain for silicon and packaging, ensuring high quality and cost efficiencies.
