ON Semiconductor Introduces Intelligent Power Modules that Integrate Pre-Driver and Output Stage with Boot Strap and Protection Functions

ON Semiconductor introduced seven highly integrated three-phase inverter hybrid intelligent power modules (IPM) for motor controls in white goods and industrial applications. The highly integrated hybrid device portfolio contains all the power devices composing pre-driver and output stage power devices with boot strap diodes, under-voltage protection, and over-current protection.

The IPMs are composed of power devices and gate drivers with 600 volts (V) maximum voltage, and the maximum operating voltage for the inverter units are 450 V.  STK544UC62K-E, STK551U362A-E, STK554U362A-E, and STK554U362C-E deliver maximum output current of 10 amperes (A); STK551U392A-E and STK554U392A-E deliver maximum output current of 15 A; and STK551U3A2A-E delivers maximum output current of 20 A.

These IPMs can operate at a switching frequency up to 20 kilohertz (kHz).  Insulated Metal Substrate Technology (IMST®) from ON Semiconductor enables the IPMs to deliver high power efficiency with low noise. The high integration levels of the devices themselves, combined with the smaller external components, enable the power system control boards to be physically smaller, with fewer components, fewer high voltage circuit board traces, and less complicated assembly.

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part One

Solving Maxwell’s Equations for real-life situations, like predicting the RF emissions from a cell tower, requires more mathematical horsepower than any individual mind can muster. These equations don’t give the scientist or engineer just insight, they are literally the answer to everything RF.

The GreenPoint® online analysis tool from ON Semiconductor provides an interactive environment to analyze IPM performance.  Users can select the device to analyze, set operating conditions, view performance simulations, and download results.
