IXOLAR Solar Cells

IXYS’ IXOLAR Solar Cells are ideal for charging various battery powered and handheld consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, cameras, PDAs, MP3 players and toys. They are also suitable for industrial applications such as wireless sensors, portable instrumentation and for charging emergency backup batteries.

With a typical efficiency rating of 17%, these solar cells give the ability to extend the run time and battery life of a device, even in “low light” conditions and thanks to their small footprint, they take up minimal board space, allowing them to be easily accommodated in the design of portable products.

IXOLAR products have a very good response over a wide wavelength range and therefore can be used in both indoor and outdoor applications.

IXOLAR Solar Cells are IXYS’ monocrystalline, high efficiency solar cell technology products incorporating an enhanced light trapping surface. There are 7 different cell sizes available: 36mm², 120mm², 240mm², 342mm², 360mm², 480mm² and 676mm². Find out more

HiPerFET Power MOSFETs

The IXYS’s family of energy efficient and power saving devices also includes a wide range of HiPerFETs based on IXYS PolarHT technology. This family of Power MOSFETs utilizes the HiPerFET process to create a fast intrinsic body diode and enhanced dv/dt ruggedness. Find out more
