Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. announced a new silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller for precision control of lamp-based heating applications. Delivering unprecedented speed and accuracy, the new Thyro-XD?? supports next-generation semiconductor manufacturing and industrial processes that demand precision temperature control, especially during extreme and dynamic ramps.

The Thyro-XD provides highly accurate, rapid load resistance measurement, enabling faster detection of temperature changes and tighter process control. It has a high-power density of 188 W/in3, is optimized for semiconductor tools, and doubles the control capacity versus other available products. With convection cooling, it eliminates the need for fans, improving simplicity and reliability.

With real-time resistance measurement, the Thyro-XD SCR can prevent potential damage to resistors, reducing expensive maintenance and replacement. In addition, a five-fold increase in load voltage, load current and output power accuracy enables fastest compensation for input fluctuations while increasing efficiency. The Thyro- XD provides optional EtherCat connectivity through optional Advanced Bus Module??

(ABM) and interface cards and can integrate temperature feedback from multiple Advanced Energy Impac®? measurement pyrometers for real-time temperature control.
