May 21, 2010 (FinancialWire) — Microsemi Corp. (NASDAQ: MSCC) has introduced the world's first solar bypass solution capable of increasing power generation efficiency in photovoltaic solar module applications.

The solution will be demonstrated at the American Solar Energy Society's National Solar Conference, May 20 through May 22, 2010, in Phoenix, Arizona.

A leader in PV solar solutions with its discrete and power modules for solar inverter offerings, Microsemi has expanded its solar portfolio to include the LX2400 IDEALSolar bypass solution. The LX2400 is an integrated circuit solution based on technology developed by Microsemi in conjunction with Spelsberg ELS, an expert in connection systems for photovoltaic modules, and Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy, the largest solar energy research institute in Europe. Microsemi's LX2400 implements the company's patented CoolRUN technology, which increases power-generation efficiency and significantly reduces operating temperatures while slashing the operational expense, reliability problems and associated warranty costs of traditional Schottky diodes.

Microsemi's LX2400 device will be used in junction boxes supporting both existing and next-generation high-power solar modules serving industrial, commercial, and solar PPA applications.

Microsemi Corp., with corporate headquarters in Irvine, California, is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of high performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, high reliability semiconductors and RF subsystems.
