Dynex is one of the world’s leading independent suppliers of specialist, high power semiconductor products. Dynex Semiconductor Ltd is its operating business and is based in Lincoln, England in a facility housing the fully integrated silicon wafer fabrication, assembly and test, sales, design and development operations.

 

Dynex designs and manufactures high power bipolar discrete semiconductors, power modules, including insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), and high power electronic assemblies.

 

Dynex products are used world wide in power electronic applications including electric power generation, transmission and distribution, marine and rail traction drives, aircraft, electric vehicles, industrial automation and controls. The company continues to produce and sell certain high reliability integrated circuits (ICs) for use in specialist applications led by its proven radiation hard Silicon-on-Sapphire products for space and nuclear applications.

 

 

Power Semiconductors - IGBT

  • Dynex offer a range of IGBT module and die products. The module family includes products with voltage ratings from 1,200V to 6,500V and current ratings from 100A to 2,400A.

  • Switch configurations include bi-directional switch, single, dual, chopper and half bridge options. Modules are designed and constructed to meet the most rigorous performance requirements in the market.

  • Our IGBT technology is developed in-house by the Dynex R&D team, and manufactured in the dedicated wafer fab facilities
    located in Lincoln, ensuring complete control of the manufacturing process from dice through to tested modules.

  • All IGBT and FRD die are also available in wafer, die on
    film or waffle pack form.

  • Dynex is a truly independent source of high power IGBT
    technology for high reliability applications including railway traction, induction heating, windpower generators, industrial motor drives and electric vehicles.


Power Semiconductors - Bipolar

  • Dynex also manufacture a comprehensive range of Phase Control Thyristors (SCR), Rectifier Diodes, Asymmetric and Fast Turn-off Thyristors, Gate Turn-off Thyristors
    (GTO), Pulse Power Thyristors and Fast Recovery Diodes.

  • Voltages range from 1,200V for direct connection to 416V supplies to 8,500V for high voltage applications.

  • Average current ratings range from a few hundred amps to 11,000A.

  • Dynex can supply these products together with its own range of high quality clamps to facilitate their attachment to customers' own heatsinks.

  • Alternatively Dynex can produce a thermal design for customer's equipment and supply the semiconductors ready mounted together with heatsinks, snubbers and sharing components.


Power Semiconductors - Power Assemblies

  • The Power Assembly Complete solutions (PACs) group provide a design and build service utilizing the skills of Dynex power electronics, mechanical and electronic
    engineers who can provide a complete solution to customer requirements including protection and control electronics.

  • Dynex engineers have direct access to the
    company's application, test and product design personnel to offer you the optimum solution.


SOS Integrated Circuits

  • The Dynex facility in the United Kingdom is unique in that it has the capability of complete space component manufacturing on one site.

  • The facility is a world leader in the space components market with some 20 years experience in the supply of
    products in to space programmes.

  • SOS is a mature technology with a long history of
    successful uses in space programmes.

  • Comprehensive radiation data is available on
    most Dynex Space products and most are submitted to full MIL STD 883 method 1019 total dose radiation testing.

  • The Quality system is comprehensive meeting all the
    requirements of MIL883 in the USA and BSE9001 in Europe.

  • There is an increasing demand for space systems that can survive radiation effects and ensure continued
    operation.

  • Of all the current silicon based semiconductor technologies only SOS offers the necessary resistance to the hazards of single event upset, transient and total dose radiation.
