Power modules simplify industrial
inverter designs
50 and 75A-rated power modules target 5 to 7.5kW commercial and industrial inverter motor designs.
Fairchild Semiconductor has expanded its Smart Power Module (SPM) portfolio by adding 50 and 75A-rated Motion-SPM devices targeting 5 to 7.5kW commercial and industrial inverter motor designs Fairchild now offers designers a comprehensive selection of SPM products covering the full inverter motor power range from 50W to 7.5kW

Dual-output buffer for DDR SDRAM modules
Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced a dual-output registered buffer for 184-pin, 2.5V PC200/PC266, 72bit-wide registered double data rate (DDR) SDRAM modules.
Bus hold makes logic more predictable
Fairchild Semiconductor has made a number of additions to its LCX family, the logic industry standard for 3.3V applications.
The FSAM50SM60A (600V/50A) and FSAM75SM60A (600V/75A) modules in 60 x 31mm dual inline packages (DIPs) occupy virtually half the board space of discrete solutions.
Utilising direct bonded copper (DBC) substrate technology, SPM packages provide excellent thermal resistance and heat transfer capability.
These 50/75A Motion-SPM devices offer designers a highly integrated, simplified approach to applications requiring higher efficiency and performance characteristics such as air conditioners and servo drivers used in factory automation.
"Fairchild's new Motion-SPM products enable designers to easily upgrade 1kW-rated applications to 7.5kW simply by selecting a different SPM device in the same ultracompact DIL package", said Taehoon Kim, Vice President of Fairchild's Functional Power Group.
"By using thermally optimised DBC technology, Fairchild was able to develop all 10 to 75A modules in one 60 x 31mm package outline".
"This gives designers the ability to use significantly less board space than discrete solutions and the flexibility to simplify their designs".
To eliminate external components and increase system reliability, each Motion-SPM integrates six IGBTs, six freewheeling diodes, three HVICs, one LVIC and one thermistor in one compact module.
The built-in HVICs provide a single-grounded power supply for optocoupler-less interface, which reduces component count, and the low-side sense IGBTs provide adjustable short-circuit current protection.
Each module also offers integrated sensorless control and temperature monitoring and an integrated thermistor monitors overtemperature conditions, further increasing system reliability.
In addition, Motion-SPM devices enhance power efficiency by providing switching frequencies up to 20kHz and a 2500V RMS for 1min isolation voltage rating.
The FSAM50SM60A and FSAM75SM60A are lead (Pb)-free products that meet or exceed the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C and are compliant with the European Union requirements now in effect.
Samples are available now.
