Six-IGBT module simplifies drives for white goods

At PCIM Europe 2003 Toshiba will be showing a compact and intelligent IGBT module it says will dramatically simplify the design and reduce the component count of three-phase inverter systems.

Next month at PCIM Europe 2003 Toshiba will be showing a compact and intelligent IGBT module it says will dramatically simplify the design and reduce the component count of three-phase inverter systems.

The new board-mounting MIG10J503H will be particularly suited to washing machines and other next-generation appliances requiring cost-effective, efficient and quiet three-phase motor drive solutions.

Toshiba's MIG10J503H is a 10A, 600V power module that integrates six IGBTs, fast recovery diodes (FRDs) and high levels of intelligence into a compact package measuring just 63 x 23 x 10.5mm.

By using the device, designers can eliminate the need for high- and low-side driver components and for external protection circuitry.

The MIG10J503H can be driven by a PWM signal, and features Toshiba's 4th-generation trench gate, thin-wafer NPT (non-punch-through) IGBT technology and integrated FRDs in a three-phase, full-bridge configuration.

Built-in intelligence includes all high- and low-side driver circuitry, along with protection against undervoltage, short circuits and overtemperature.

The device can be configured to generate an output for both short circuit and overtemperature conditions.

Toshiba's advanced thermal management design includes a high thermal conduction substrate to ensure that the MIG10J503H offers a very low heat resistance.

Recommended maximum operating junction temperature is 125C and the module is designed for a heatsink to be easily attached to its upper surface using two screws.
