Power modules simplify motion
applications
A new set of 600V, 16 and 20A integrated power modules expand the analogue power stage solutions offered as part of IR's motion control integrated design platform.
International Rectifier has introduced a set of 600V, 16 and 20A integrated power modules (IPMs), expanding the analogue power stage solutions offered as part of its motion control integrated design platform The new IPMs simplify the design of compact, high-performance variable-speed motion control power stages for air conditioners and commercial freezers, for example

MOSFETs improve 12V-input converter efficiency
Two new 20V HEXFET power MOSFET families from International Rectifier are designed to increase efficiency by up to 4% in 12V-input DC/DC convertors.
Designed specifically for 85 to 253V AC variable speed motor drives for energy efficient appliances, these new IPMs integrate IR's proprietary high voltage integrated circuit (HVIC) with a three-phase inverter power stage.
The 16A device addresses the 750W to 1.2kW power range, whereas the 20A devices can accommodate 750W to 2.2kW.
All of the new IPMs are packaged in efficient, single inline packages (SIPs) with improved thermal characteristics.

Rad-hard MOSFETs protect and survive
With high radiation hardness and unparalleled single event effect (SEE) immunity, International Rectifier's new R5 MOSFETs are well suited for systems that must survive penetrating gamma rays.
The IRAMY20UP60B is a 20A, 600V IPM with internal shunt resistor that combines IR's low-on-resistance non-punch-through and short circuit rated IGBT technology with IR's three phase HVIC gate driver.
The IPM has a built-in temperature monitor.
The integrated HVIC enables overcurrent and overtemperature protection, as well as undervoltage lockout, delivering high levels of protection for fail-safe operation.
The SIP3 package includes internal heat spreaders for the power die.
Its single in line full-transfer mould structure minimises PCB space and simplifies heatsink isolation and mounting.
The new IRAMY20UP60B in SIP3 is an advanced solution available on the market for a fully integrated inverter driver application up to 20A.
The IRAMX20UP60A is a 20A, 600V IPM that does not include a shunt resistor but is packaged in a more compact SIP2 outline.
An open emitter configuration of the low-side IGBT switches offer easy current feedback and overcurrent monitoring for high precision and reliable control.
The IRAMX20UP60A is also a full-transfer mould structure and has internal heat spreaders for the power die for maximum thermal efficiency.
Offering similar functions and features to its 20A counterparts, the IRAMX16UP60B, is rated at 16A and for motors in the 750W to 1.2kW power range and also comes in the SIP2 package, includes internal shunt resistor, temperature monitor and all the safe-fail features of the IRAM product family.
The new IRAMX16UP60B is pin-to-pin compatible with the existing IRAMS10UP60B while the new IRAMX20UP60A is pin to pin compatible with the already available IRAMS10UP60A and IRAMX16UP60A, delivering a simple path to upgrade or expand power level in existing designs.
