Power module shrinks appliance motor drive design
International Rectifier has introduced the IRAM630-1562F, an intelligent power module featuring Power Factor Correction (PFC) and inverter stage.
The device is designed to shrink and simplify light industrial motor drive applications, including air conditioners and washing machines.
The IRAM630-1562F combines IR's low loss, Trench igbts with a three phase, high voltage gate drive ic and PFC input stage, integrating more than 30 components into a single isolated package.
Built-in over temperature/over current protection, along with an integrated under voltage lockout function, and built-in temperature monitor provide for a high level of protection and fail safe operation.
Other integrated features such as bootstrap diodes for the high side drive function and single polarity power supply simplify the system design while reducing overall cost.
