Title:   IXYS Introduces Best in Class New 400A/1200V IGBT
Module; Expanding the Power and Ruggedness of its IGBT
Module Family

Summary:     SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 23, 2002 (BUSINESS
WIRE) -- IXYS Corporation a leader in power
semiconductors for power conversion and motion control
applications, announces today the introduction of its new
dual 400A/1200V IGBT module. This family of devices expands
the high current range of the present IXYS IGBT based power
module products, addressing the higher value added segment
of the power control market. The new MII 400-12E4 Dual Pack
IGBT module is rated at 1200 volts and current of 420
amperes, and is available in phase-leg (half-bridge)
topology. Using its 3rd generation Non-Punch-Through (NPT3)
IGBT chips, the module features a 20% reduction in
saturation voltage along with a 20% reduction in switching
losses and rugged IGBT performance. The associated fast
recovery diodes are fabricated utilizing its HiPerFRED(TM)
technology that provides excellent fast recovery with soft
characteristics, and low operating forward voltage losses.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 23, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- IXYS
Corporation, a leader in power semiconductors for power
conversion and motion control applications, announces today
the introduction of its new dual 400A/1200V IGBT module.
This family of devices expands the high current range of the
present IXYS IGBT based power module products, addressing
the higher value added segment of the power control market.
The new MII 400-12E4 Dual Pack IGBT module is rated at 1200
volts and current of 420 amperes, and is available in
phase-leg (half-bridge) topology. Using its 3rd generation
Non-Punch-Through (NPT3) IGBT chips, the module features a
20% reduction in saturation voltage along with a 20%
reduction in switching losses and rugged IGBT performance.
The associated fast recovery diodes are fabricated utilizing
its HiPerFRED(TM) technology that provides excellent fast
recovery with soft characteristics, and low operating
forward voltage losses.

This integration in one module of leading edge IGBT/Diode
designs, mounted on IXYS' own proprietary DCB substrates,
offers the user excellent all round electrical and thermal
performance, maximizing the energy efficiency in power
conversion and motor control circuits. These modules are
part of IXYS' "Best In its Class" product family, for
highest efficiency in integrated power control.

The design and features of this new IGBT module have been
driven by and developed for high power inverters for such
applications as AC and DC motor drives, motor drives for
electric vehicles and mass transit systems, electric
welding, and high power UPS's.

Pricing for the MII 400-12E8 start at $175 in 100 piece
quantities. Prototyping quantities are available from stock
and lead times for production quantities run 8-12 weeks.

IXYS Corporation offers a broad line of Power
Semiconductors, including Power MOSFETs, IGBTs, RF Power
MOSFETs, Ultra-fast Reverse Recovery Diodes, silicon and
gallium arsenide Schottky diodes, GTO's, thyristors and
rectifiers, Multi-chip Modules, DCB ceramic substrates and
Power Interface Integrated Circuits. IXYS offers a variety
of Power Pulse products and RF MOSFETs via DEI, its Colorado
Company, and higher power semiconductors via Westcode its
U.K. based Company.
