Fairchild Unveils Motion-SPM™ Power Modules For Home Appliances & Industrial Motors Up To 3kW
Fairchild Semiconductor introduced ten integrated Motion-SPM™ power modules for home appliances and industrial motors up to the 3kW power range. Integrating fully tested components – three HVICs, one LVIC, six NPT IGBTs, six FRDs and three bootstrap diodes – into a compact 44mm x 26.8mm Mini-DIP package, these Motion-SPM modules are claimed to offer superior inverter-based control for energy-efficient three-phase motors.
Replacing as many as 22 discrete components, these products are said to be instrumental in reducing board space, decreasing manufacturing costs, speeding time-to-market and increasing system reliability.
"Fairchild continues to innovate its product offering by providing leading SPM® power module solutions," said Taehoon Kim, Vice President of Fairchild’s Functional Power Solutions. "We have integrated three bootstrap diodes with bootstrap resistor characteristics into currently available SPM modules to make a simpler and smaller board design possible, eliminating six additional external components. These modules feature NPT IGBTs that provide optimal trade-offs between conduction losses and switching losses and high guaranteed junction temperature to improve system efficiency and reliability. Fairchild’s Motion-SPM power modules are ideal solutions for energy- and cost-restricted motor applications."
These highly integrated devices utilize full molded or Direct Bonded Copper (DBC)-based package technology. A Motion-SPM product’s DBC-based Mini-DIP package provides extremely low thermal resistance (FSBB30CH60B (600V/30A): Rth(j-c), IGBT = 1.17°C/W).
These Motion-SPM products utilize lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and have been characterized for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020. All of Fairchild’s products are designed to meet the requirements of the European Union’s Directive on the restriction of the use of certain substances (RoHS).
