IXYS Diodes

IXYS manufacture a broad range of diodes for high switching frequencies, available in surface mount and PCB mounted packages. IXYS manufacture a comprehensive range of Diodes which include: Gallium Arsendie Schottky Diodes, Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes, Schottky Diodes, HiPerDyn™ FRED Diodes, Ultra Fast Diodes (Dual), HiPerFRED™ Diodes, Sonic-FRD™ Diodes, FRED Diodes, and Rectifier Diodes. These are available in a range of circuits including discrete, dual diodes, half bridge, full bridge (single and three phase), double diode common anode and cathode, and double diode anode and cathode.

IXYS’ Schottky Diodes are available in 8V to 200V with a current rating of 6A to 200A and are available in two packages: Silicon Schotty Diodes and Silicon Schottky Gen² Diodes (2nd generation). They feature low VF, low IRM-values and low noise switching. Other benefits of using the Schotty Diodes include: extremely low switching losses, high reliability circuit operation and low voltage peaks for reduced protection circuits.

IXYS’ manufacture a wide range of Rectifier Diodes available in DS-series (anode or stud) and DSI-series (cathode or stud) which are mainly used for rectifying 50 or 60 Hz mains currents. Discrete diodes in plastic and metal housings and different diode bridges are also available for standard line voltages from 110V to 690V AC.

IXYS’ range of Ultra Fast Recovery Diodes are designed to offer the lowest practical values of reverse recovery current whilst offering wide safe operating area and high di/dt capability required by modern switching components such as IGBTs, GCTs and pulsed power applications.

IXYS’ power MOS product lines include power metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and BIMOSFETs.  IXYS’ power MOSFETs are used in large power conversion systems and applications from 60 to 4,000 volts. Its IGBTs are used in alternating current motor drives, power systems and defibrillators. Bipolar products include rectifiers, thyristors and GTOs.

GD Rectifiers has been the UK’s official distributor for IXYS Corporation, IXYS Colorado and IXYS UK Westcode for over 20 years. Founded as a silicon valley power semiconductor company, IXYS pioneered the high voltage power MOSFET and IGBT technologies and today is one of the few semiconductor companies that offer the full product portfolio for power management.

IXYS comprises of three divisions: IXYS Corporation, IXYS IC (Clare) and IXYS Colorado. IXYS Corporation is one of the world’s leading power semiconductor manufacturers, they offer a comprehensive range of MOSFETs, Fast Recovery Diodes (FREDs), SCR and Diode Modules, RF Systems, Rectifiers, Power Interface ICs, IGBTs and Thyristors, in discrete and integrated power modules.

The IXYS IC division designs and produces SOI base HVIC’s flexible display drivers, driver IC’s, optically isolated drivers, solid state relays (SSR), isolated AC switches, ocptocouplers, photovoltaic chips and ASIC’s.

IXYS Colorado manufacturers Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave Discrete Semiconductor products, including: RF Amplifiers, RF MOSFETs, Hybrid Modules, RF Drivers and Gunn Diodes.
