Power Modules handle 5A to 50A at up to 1200V

July 28, 2016 by Jeff Shepard

Powerex Version 6 DIPIPM™ simplifies the design of low power inverters for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Standard features such as analog temperature output and built-in bootstrap diodes reduce the need for peripheral components, thus reducing overall system costs. Products are rated for 500-, 600-, and 1200-V with current ratings from 5A to 50A. Applications are expected to include Servo / motion controls, HVAC, Home appliances, Pumps and Low-capacity industrial inverters.

By using the latest low loss IGBT (7th Generation CSTBTâ„¢), the product line-up has been expanded to suit a wider range of applications. The design effort is minimized, as Version 6 DIPIPM employs the same standard external packaging previously introduced for Versions 4 and 5. Features of the Version 6 DIPIPM include; Built-in bootstrap diodes and current limiting resistors; High-accuracy analog temperature output; and Standardized packages simplify design cycles.

New to the DIPIPM line-up is the SLIMDIP line. SLIMDIP is an ultra-small, compact intelligent power module with a transfer mold package suitable for larger mass production. As with all Powerex DIPIPMs, the power chips, drive, and protection circuits are integrated in the SLIMDIPs, providing a simple solution for 100- to 200-Vac class low-power motor inverter control.
