New 2-level inverter solution tool is now available online for real time power loss estimations. The tool is available for all HV-IGBT types currently under production. It is simple to register and easy to use. Merely add your application conditions and you will be presented with the estimated power losses and relevant junction temperatures. Additional information or support may be requested via our CONTACT US page.

4500V E2 IGBTs get ready for mass production  -  Hitachi Europe Ltd is pleased to announce the introduction of two new 1200A 4.5kV IGBTs and NPC dual diodes for 2 level and 3 level medium voltage inverters. Featuring de facto standard high isolation package designs, the MBN1200H45E2 and MBN1200H45E2-H allows the power systems engineer to select their main inverter switch according to the dominant losses of the application. Isolation voltage options are available to support non de-ionised water cooling. More information and samples are available upon request via the Contact Us section.  

Pulsar IC HDL6V5582  -  Following the success of the single chip Pulsar IC 5581 for medical ultrasound applications, Hitachi's Micro Device Division offer pre-production samples and evaluation boards of their new 5582 IC. Compact 4 or 8 channel 52-Lead QFN Pulsar IC supporting 3 and 5 level pulse generation with active ground damping. High efficiency and robust reliability are testament of MDD's first class SOI CMOS process.    

PCIM 2012 (17 - 19 May 2012) - After a successful PCIM 2011, Hitachi Europe Ltd. is exhibiting again in 2012. We look forward to seeing our customers there.

DesignMed Europe 2012 (13 - 15 March 2012) - We wil be exhibiting at DesignMed Europe - part of the MEDTEC Europe Exhibition taking place in Stuttgart. Please come along to the Hitachi Europe stand for more information on how our components can be used in medical imaging devices.

Following the rapid recovery programme implemented by Hitachi Ltd. production re-start and ramp up has commenced for all power semiconductor products including IGBT, HVIC and Diodes.

Existing and new Hitachi Europe Ltd. clients are welcome to contact us directly for individual delivery and availability information.

First activity will see pre-earthquake capacity restored from July 2011. The implementation of the new Yamanashi Works facilities will offer the market additional capacity, particularly for IGBT, from October 2011. New business enquiries are welcome as Hitachi seeks to build upon and strengthen the support offered to the HV-IGBT market. New high capacity 3.3kV and 4.5kV modules, additional capacity and Hitachi's project friendly support are readied for Traction, HVDC, Industrial MV Drive and other general enquiries.
