A new smart power module for low power motor drives

This paper introduces a new Motion-SPMtrade (Smart Power Modules)module in Single In-line Package(SIP), which is a fully optimized intelligent integrated IGBT inverter module for up to 1 kW low power motor drive applications. This module offers a sophisticated, integrated solution and tremendous design flexibility. It also takes advantage of pliability for the arrangement of heat-sink due to two types of lead forms. It utilizes non-punch-through (NPT) IGBT with a fast recovery diode and highly integrated building block, which features built-in HVICs and a gate driver that offer more simplicity and compactness leading to a reduced costs and high reliability of the entire system. This module also provides technical advantages such as the good thermal performances through IMS (Insulated Metal Substrate), the high latch immunity. This paper provides an overall description of the Motion-SPMtrade in SIP as well as actual application issues such as electrical characteristics, circuit configurations and power ratings.
