Design guide for developing high-voltage, high-power systems

Microsemi Corporation has announced a design guide for developing next-generation high-voltage, high-power systems based on the company's unique digital radio frequency (DRF) family of hybrid modules. These systems are used in applications including semiconductor processing, LCD glass coating, solar cell manufacturing, optical device and architectural glass coating, hazardous gas treatment, CO2 laser excitation, MRI RF amplifiers, RF scalpels and induction heating systems.

The modules combine RF driver ICs and power MOSFETs in a single package capable of delivering 1 to 3 kilowatts (kW) of power at frequencies up to 40 megahertz (MHz). The design guide also provides system developers with RF design techniques related to component selection, matching network design, output power optimization, efficiency maximization, cooling and packaging, as well as detailed recommendations related to circuit topologies required for building a complete RF generator.

"Our DRF product suite delivers substantial benefits as compared to conventional low-voltage RF systems," said Glenn Wright, director of marketing, MOSRF products, at Microsemi. "These benefits include the ability to solve difficult design challenges to reduce system size, increase power density, improve reliability and reduce overall system cost for a variety of industrial, scientific and medical applications."

Microsemi's DRF design guide and other development tools and support offerings are available now, including SPICE models, reference design kits and application notes.
