Abstract:
This paper introduces a new 600 V 20 A highly integrated IPM (intelligent power module) with threephase inverter and power-factor correction (PFC) topologies optimized for home appliances. A three-phase inverter and a single-boost PFC stage are integrated in a miniaturized DIP (dual-in-line-package) transfer-molded package. The inverter stage is built with six 600 V rated TRENCHSTOP(TM) IGBTs, six emitter-controlled diodes and an SOI (silicon-on-insulator) gate driver. The PFC stage consists of a 600 V rated CoolMOS(TM) MOSFET and a 650 V rated rapid-switching emitter-controlled diode which has fast and soft switching characteristics. DCB (direct copper bond) substrate is adopted for good thermal performance considering the small package size. This paper provides an overall description of the new PFC-integrated IPM (IM564-X6D) as well as the performance, power ratings and characteristics of the semiconductors in the module. With this new IPM, reduced PCB and heatsink sizes and simplified assembly processes can also be achieved.
