Power Conversion and Distribution at APEC 2012
(Power Electronics Technology Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Rogers Power Distribution Systems (PDS) is launching new
technology at APEC 2012 with RO-LINX® PowerCircuit™ bus bars,
which provide multifunction capability in a single, compact form
factor. PowerCircuit bus bars can distribute power and signal lines
or have components mounted on the bus bar structures-saving space
and weight. These three-dimensional (3D) capable structures are
ideal for a wide range of power distribution applications in
EV/HEVs, wind/solar power, and variable-frequency-drive (VFD)
markets.
PowerCircuit bus bars are solder-process compatible, and the
highly integrated structures help engineers in the design of power
and control circuitry while maintaining small circuit footprints.
In addition, PDS will demonstrate the benefits of their
industry-standard RO-LINX series of laminated busbars, known for
reliable long performance and safety in demanding applications.
RO-LINX bus bars provide engineers with elegant solutions in a
variety of markets, including mass transit and electric propulsion,
industrial drives, renewable energy, and defense/aerospace
markets.
Rogers direct bond copper (DBC) ceramic substrates and
micro-channel coolers deliver outstanding voltage isolation, high
thermal conductivity, and excellent heat-spreading characteristics
for a wide range of power electronics applications, including power
modules (such as motor drives and uninterruptible power supplies),
automotive (x-by-wire, HEVs, EVs), and renewable energy (solar,
wind). The high-performance substrates are made by bonding a bare
copper layer with high heat capacity to different ceramics such as
alumina (Al2O3) and aluminum nitride (AlN). Because DBC substrates
feature temperature coefficients of thermal expansion closely
matched to that of silicon, they support chip-on-board assembly
while minimizing stress on silicon devices.
Leveraging DBC technology in the form of customer-specific
micro-channel structures, these coolers can achieve four times more
efficient cooling than traditional module structures with liquid
cooling.
