International Rectifier, IR® (NYSE: IRF), a world leader in
power management technology, today announced the expansion of its family
of highly integrated, ultra-compact, patent pending µIPM™ power modules
with the introduction of the IRSM808-105MH and IRSM807-105MH, optimized
for high efficiency appliance and light industrial applications with
motor power up to 300W.
Available in an ultra-compact 8x9x0.9mm PQFN package, the IRSM808-105MH
and IRSM807-105MH half-bridge power modules offer up to a 60 percent
smaller footprint than existing 3-phase motor control power ICs to
provide a highly compact heatsink-free solution for applications
including compressor drives for refrigeration, pumps for heating and
water circulation, air-conditioning fans, dishwashers, and automation
systems.
“The IRSM808-105MH and IRSM807-105MH half-bridge µIPM™ power modules
provide designers with even greater scalability, in addition to offering
up to a 60 percent smaller footprint compared to existing leading
solutions and delivering advantages in output current capability and
system efficiency cost-effectively,” said Alberto Guerra, Vice
President, Strategic Market Development, IR’s Energy Saving Products
Business Unit.
About µIPM™
IR’s patent pending µIPM™ product family offers a scalable power
solution with common pin-out and package size. Featuring the most rugged
and efficient high-voltage FredFET MOSFET switches optimized for
variable frequency drives and IR’s most advanced high-voltage driver
ICs, the µIPM product family offers DC current ratings ranging
from 2A to 10A and voltages of 250V and 500V. The new approach pioneered
by IR for this market segment utilizes PCB copper traces to dissipate
heat from the module, providing cost savings through a smaller package
design and eliminating the need for an external heat sink. By using
standard packaging QFN technology, assembly is simplified by eliminating
through-hole second pass assembly and improving thermal performance
compared to traditional dual-in-line module solutions.
