G5 HVIC Next Generation HVIC Platform
As part of the natural progression in IC
evolution, International Rectifier is investing
in the new G5 HVIC process to support the
continued improvement of its HVICs, while keeping
price under control. The G5 HVIC process allows
for improvements in device capabilities, tighter
specifications, temperature stability,
functions/, and the integration of previously
unavailable features at an attractive price
point. This new technology results in two
categories of products New G5 HVIC products, and
G5 HVIC replacement products (G5 HVIC replacement
products are pin-to-pin compatible with their
predecessors).
