Features of the IMST Hybrid ICs

stk

1.  Excellent heat dissipation
    One of the most influential factors determining reliability of electronics devices is  “heat”
The IMST substrate is most suitable for the field of power electronics. Dissipating heat efficiently
2.  High  reliability
    Wiring is applied by mounting semiconductor bare ships directly and bonding aluminum wires. This reduces number of soldering points assuring high reliability.
3.  Excellent electromagnetic shielding
  Excellent electromagnetic shielding can be attained by putting the entire substrate on the ground potential because the  base substrate is made of aluminum. This eliminates noise errors in the digitalized electronic devices
4.  Ample lineup
    STK series lineup is ample and standard based whereas the current hybrid IC market tends to customization.
        Output power (per channel)    : 5 to  200W
        Total harmonic distortion        : 10 to 0.005%
        Number of channels            : 1 to 3ch
        Load impedance            : 1 to 8 Ohm
5. Pin compatibility
    The design takes pin compatibility of the hybrid IC output pin important so that a same PCB can be  used for various set grades such as output capacity and distortion factor.
6. Excellent thermal stability
    The IMST substrate of excellent heat dissipation naturally assures excellent thermal conductivity. Temperature of the output transistor can be almost the same as the temperature compensating transistor. Preventing thermal runway.
7. Decreasing adjustment processes
    Adjustment of the natural voltage of the power output stage and the quiescent current are done by functional trimming inside the hybrid IC.
This eliminates adjustment processes saving on the production procedure.
8.  Reducing the term for design
The audio output stage remains analog however digitalization technology may advance.
Design of the analog power output stage which is considered requiring the designer’s experience and skill, can be simplified by employing hybrid ICs.
This reduces the term for design and saves on the design procedure.
9.  Decreasing number of parts
    The product of STK series decreases the total number of parts required for a unit allowing to reduce its size, certain assembly manpower, simplify material control improve serviceability and reduce cost.
10. No smoke for fire
    Since the product of STK series is designed so to emit no smoke nor fire in any abnormality, it facilitates to obtain safety approvals.
