IXCP100M45

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The IXCP100M45 is a high voltage current regulator from the IXC series, manufactured by IXYS. It functions as a non-switchable, two-terminal device capable of regulating current in both AC and DC applications. The component integrates two DC current regulators internally connected in series to maintain a specified output current across both polarities. It features an output characteristic symmetry in quadrants 1 and 3, ensuring identical regulation performance in both directions. The device is housed in a TO-220-3 package and supports a supply voltage range up to 450 V with a regulated output current of 100 mA.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• Provides stable current regulation for both AC and DC circuits using a non-switchable two-terminal design.
• Internally connects two DC regulators in series to ensure symmetric current control in both operational directions.
• Maintains consistent output characteristics across quadrants 1 and 3 for bidirectional stability.

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• High voltage DC current regulation
• AC current limiting and regulation
• Bidirectional current control circuits

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify component status carefully as this part may be discontinued. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets. Check datasheet revisions for any parameter updates. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management solutions due to the TO-220-3 package constraints. Validate that the 100 mA rating meets specific circuit requirements before integration.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when precise, direction-independent current regulation is required in high voltage environments. The TO-220-3 package facilitates through-hole mounting for robust mechanical connections. Consider the 450 V maximum supply voltage limit during system design. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities relative to the expected operating load and ambient conditions.

Current Regulation/Management Part Context

The IXCP100M45 belongs to the IXC series of high voltage current regulators produced by IXYS. This family includes various models with different current ratings ranging from 2 mA to 60 mA, though the 100 mA variant extends this capability. These devices are designed for industrial and power electronics applications requiring reliable current control without complex switching mechanisms.
