Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about MacMic products, technical support, and services

Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about our products, services, and technical support. If you don't find the information you're looking for, please contact us for additional assistance.

What are the main product categories offered by MacMic?

MacMic offers a comprehensive range of power semiconductor devices including IGBT modules, discrete IGBTs, FRED diodes, rectifier bridges, and SiC devices. These products serve various applications in industrial drives, welding equipment, renewable energy systems, and electric vehicles.

How do I select the right IGBT for my application?

When selecting an IGBT, consider key parameters: voltage rating (select 20% higher than max operating voltage), current rating (continuous and peak requirements), switching frequency (affects losses), and thermal management needs. Our technical team can assist with specific selection based on your requirements.

What technical support services do you provide?

Our field application engineers provide comprehensive support including circuit design, thermal management, protection circuitry, system optimization, design-in support, testing and validation services, and tech consulting for power semiconductor trends and technology selection.

What is the difference between FRED diodes and standard rectifier diodes?

FRED (Fast Recovery Epitaxial Diode) diodes have significantly faster recovery times (typically 25-50ns) compared to standard rectifier diodes (several microseconds). This allows FRED diodes to be used in high-frequency switching applications where standard diodes would cause excessive switching losses.

Do MacMic products meet automotive standards?

Yes, MacMic offers automotive-grade products qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for use in electric vehicle traction inverters, onboard chargers, DC/DC converters, and other automotive power systems. These products are designed for the demanding requirements of automotive applications.

What is the typical lead time for MacMic products?

Lead times vary by product and volume. Standard products typically have 2-4 weeks lead time, while specialized or high-volume orders may require 6-8 weeks. We maintain substantial inventory of popular items for faster delivery. Contact us for specific availability information.

Do you offer custom solutions?

Yes, we provide custom solutions and design support for specific applications. Our technical team can assist with modified products, unique packaging, or specialized configurations to meet your exact requirements. Contact our engineering team to discuss your needs.

What is the warranty period for MacMic products?

MacMic products are backed by a standard 12-month warranty from the date of shipment. For specific applications or contracts, warranty terms can be customized. All products are manufactured following ISO 9001:2015 quality standards to ensure reliability and performance.
