Hitachi semiconductors are powering the green revolution

Semiconductors Semiconductors

Hitachi Power Devices have been designing and manufacturing power semiconductors since the industry’s inception. Renowned for their high power outputs and reliability, Hitachi’s semiconductors are manufactured in Japan and have a high reliability allowing them to last for twenty years or more in high power applications.

Today our diverse range of semiconductors have a wide range of applications helping maximise renewable resources and electric power. Hitachi semiconductors power everything from electric cars, trams and trains to wind turbines.

As part of the inverters in Hitachi trains our semiconductors are 98-99% efficient in converting AC to DC and vice versa (based on internal research), saving energy and reducing power usage.
