The Powerline range of high power modules includes dual
and single switch configurations covering voltages from 600V to
3300V and currents up to 4800A.
The GP801DCS18 is an 1800V, n channel enhancement
mode, insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) chopper module.
Designed with low V
module is of particular relevance in low to medium frequency
to minimise conduction losses, the
CE(SAT)
applications. The IGBT has a wide reverse bias safe operating
area (RBSOA) ensuring reliability in demanding applications.
The module incorporates an electrically isolated base plate
and low inductance construction enabling circuit designers to
optimise circuit layouts and utilise earthed heat sinks for safety.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS - PER ARM
Stresses above those listed under 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' may cause permanent damage to the device. In extreme
conditions, as with all semiconductors, this may include potentially hazardous rupture of the package. Appropriate safety
precautions should always be followed. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Ratings may affect device reliability.

POWER ASSEMBLY CAPABILITY
GP801DCS18
The Power Assembly group was set up to provide a support service for those customers requiring more than the basic
semiconductor, andhas developed a flexible range ofheatsink and clamping systems in line with advances in device voltages and
current capability of our semiconductors.
We offer an extensive range of air and liquid cooled assemblies covering the full range of circuit designs in general use today. The
Assembly group continues to offer highquality engineering support dedicated to designing new units to satisfy the growing needs of
our customers.
Using the latest CAD methods our team of design and applications engineers aim to provide the Power Assembly Complete
Solution (PACs).
HEATSINKS
The Power Assembly group has its own proprietary range of extruded aluminium heatsinks. They have been designed to optimise
the performance ofDynex semiconductors. Data with respect to air natural, forced air and liquid cooling (withflow rates) is
available on request.
