The IXYS MCD132-18IO1 Discrete Semiconductor Module 132 Amps 1800V is a high power, high voltage device. It is designed to handle large current loads up to 132 Amps and voltage up to 1800V. It features a thick film resistor with low on-state voltage drop and minimal power dissipation due to its fast on/off switching capabilities. The module has six isolated inputs, allowing for high-side and low-side drive configurations. Additionally, the module offers a complete range of protection functions like temperature sensing, crowbar, clamp, gate drive, and short circuit protection. The package provides a through-hole design, which is straightforward to handle and assemble while increasing reliability and long-term performance. It is suitable for modules power applications ranging from high-frequency switching amplifiers, motor speed control systems, and choppers for switching applications.
