Abstract

New series of SPMs (Smart Power Modules), which are fully optimized intelligent integrated IGBT inverter modules for lower power motor drive applications, are introduced. One is called Mini-SPM providing the operating current rating of 10 A and the other is Tiny-SPM with the 3 A rating. They are very small by employing size-related design and highly integrated building blocks having the built-in HVICs as a gate driver which offer more simplicity and compactness leading to a high cost reduction and high reliability of the entire system. They also provide technical advantages such as the good thermal performances, the high latch immunity and dv/dt controlled HVIC driving.
