Designing a reliable wind converter is an increasingly difficult task with the ever-growing power requirements. The highly reliable, sintered SKiiP 4 has had a power boost. This highly integrated package provides a further 25% increase in power.

SKiiP

SKiiP is a proven platform with millions of units in the field, allowing for continuous improvement in reliability and performance. Design effort is reduced through an integrated package including a power module, driver, current sensors & cooler.

Reliability is increased with sintering and solderless pressure contact technology, eliminating solder fatigue. Additionally, the baseplate-less design reduces chip temperatures and mechanical stress from temperature swings.

reliability and performance

The latest SKiiP 4 allows for improved reliability and performance in a backward-compatible package. The new High-Performance Cooling (HPC) technology achieves this by reducing thermal resistance from chip to coolant.

Chip configurations can also be specifically tailored for reduced chip temperature swing in line- and rotor-side converters.

Key Takeaways 

  • Learn how to exploit the full performance potential of a SKiiP 4 with sintered chips to reach up to 25% more output power.
  • Understand how a solution based on SKiiP 4 can be optimized for generator-side wind converters.
  • Learn how the SKiiP 4 on a High-Performance Cooler can fit into your custom mechanical constructions and reach unprecedented compactness of converter designs.​​​​​​​
  • Get in touch with SEMIKRON to customize a SKiiP 4 for your special power, performance, or IGBT driver setup and requirements.​​​​​​​
