Dynex Semiconductor is a global supplier of products and services specialising in the
field of power semiconductors and integrated circuit products. The Company's power
products are used to improve the efficiency, reliability and quality of the electric power in;

- power transmission and distribution,
- alternative power generation,
- marine and rail propulsion,
- aerospace,
- medical equipment,
- heavy industries such as steel and mining,
- telecommunications and - electric vehicles.

The Dynex power semiconductor business was originally established in Lincoln over
50 years ago when it was known as AEI Semiconductors Ltd. At that time, the
business introduced some of the first silicon based power semiconductor components
in the world. Since then we have acquired the power semiconductor interests,
technologies and products from such major names such as GEC, SGS-Thomson,
Alstom and Marconi Electronic Devices Ltd (MEDL).

Today the headquarters for Dynex Semiconductor, together with manufacturing,
silicon fabrication, sales, marketing, design and research & development, are
co-located in Lincoln, UK. This well equipped modern facility, includes in excess of
4,000 square metres of recently refurbished clean rooms dedicated to the
manufacture of power semiconductor products synonymous with innovation, quality
and reliability.








Power Semiconductors - IGBT

Dynex offer a range of IGBT module and die products. The module family includes
products with voltage ratings from 1,200V to 6,500V and current ratings from 100A to
2,400A. Switch configurations include bi-directional switch, single, dual, chopper and
half bridge options. Modules are designed and constructed to meet the most rigorous
performance requirements in the market. Our IGBT technology is developed in-house
by the Dynex R&D team, and manufactured in the dedicated wafer fab facilities
located in Lincoln, ensuring complete control of the manufacturing process from dice
through to tested modules. All IGBT and FRD die are also available in wafer, die on
film or waffle pack form. Dynex is a truly independent source of high power IGBT
technology for high reliability applications including railway traction, induction heating,
windpower generators, industrial motor drives and electric vehicles.


Power Semiconductors - Bipolar

Dynex also manufacture a comprehensive range of Phase Control Thyristors (SCR),
Rectifier Diodes, Asymmetric and Fast Turn-off Thyristors, Gate Turn-off Thyristors
(GTO), Pulse Power Thyristors and Fast Recovery Diodes. Voltages range from
1,200V for direct connection to 416V supplies to 8,500V for high voltage applications.
Average current ratings range from a few hundred amps to 11,000A. Dynex can
supply these products together with its own range of high quality clamps to facilitate
their attachment to customers' own heatsinks. Alternatively Dynex can produce a
thermal design for customer's equipment and supply the semiconductors ready
mounted together with heatsinks, snubbers and sharing components.


Power Semiconductors - Power Assemblies

The Power Assembly Complete solutions (PACs) group provide a design and build
service utlising the skills of Dynex power electronics, mechanical and electronic
engineers who can provide a complete solution to customer requirements including
protection and control electronics. Dynex engineers have direct access to the
company's application, test and product design personnel to offer you the optimum
solution.


SOS Integrated Circuits

The Dynex facility in the United Kingdom is unique in that it has the capability of
complete space component manufacturing on one site. The facility is a world leader in
the space components market with some 20 years experience in the supply of
products in to space programmes. SOS is a mature technology with a long history of
successful uses in space programmes. Comprehensive radiation data is available on
most Dynex Space products and most are submitted to full MIL STD 883 method 1019
total dose radiation testing. The Quality system is comprehensive meeting all the
requirements of MIL883 in the USA and BSE9001 in Europe. There is an increasing
demand for space systems that can survive radiation effects and ensure continued
operation. Of all the current silicon based semiconductor technologies only SOS
offers the necessary resistance to the hazards of single event upset, transient and
total dose radiation.


SOS Radiation Hardness Summary

Total Dose [Rad (Si)] 10^62
Single Event Upset [Errors/bitday] 10^-11
Neutrons[Neutron/cm2] 10^15
Transient Upset 10^12
Latch up Immune
