Mitsubishi Electric to Launch SLIMDIP-W
Published on : Thursday 26-12-2019
New high-performance intelligent power module (IPM) will help to lower motor noise and power consumption of appliances.
Tokyo, December 24, 2019 – Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has announced the coming launch of its SLIMDIPTM-W, a new high-performance intelligent power module (IPM) that will enable washing machines, air conditioners and various small-capacity motor drives to achieve reduced motor noise and consume less power. Sales of the SLIMDIP-W, a part of the company’s Semiconductors & Devices portfolio, will begin on January 15, 2020.
Product Features
- Optimised high-speed-switching RC-IGBT enables high carrier-frequency drive for quieter and more efficient appliances
- Improved reverse-conducting IGBT (RC-IGBT) is optimised for high-speed switching to reduce switching loss in high carrier-frequency drive, helping to lower motor noise
- Switching power loss is reduced by approx. 40% (Tj=125°C, Io(Arms)=5A) compared to that of existing SLIMDIP-L
- Less noise enables downsizing and reduced total cost of inverter systems
- Less noise compared to that of existing model allows use of fewer noise-suppressing components on circuit board for smaller, lower-cost inverter systems
- Flexible wiring pattern simplifies layout design of inverter systems
- Positioning negative electrode (GND terminal) next to P-side bootstrap power supply realises more flexible wiring-pattern design and smaller inverter systems.
