High-Voltage 3-Phase Integrated BLDC Motor Drive ICs for Consumer Devices
Hitachi Power Semiconductor Device offers intelligent power devices and high-voltage analog switch ICs integrating high voltage output devices and control circuits on a single chip/single package using dielectric isolation technology. The company's recently-introduced VSP series of integrated 3-phase motor drive inverters includes an analog speed command signal input capability.
These high-voltage ICs are suitable for household apparatus fields such as home electric appliances and beauty appliances including driving BLDC motors in air conditioners, air purifiers, hair dryers, and so on.
The new series of integrated 3-phase motor driver ICs includes the ECN30110 rated for 250V with an output current of 1.0A and the ECN30210, rated for 600V and an output current of 0.7A. Both devices are offered in a choice of SOP26 or DIP26 packages.
