Abstract:
Mitsubishi Electric ha had developed automotive IGBT module with on on-chip current sensor and temperature sensor for automotive inverter. This paper mainly introduces how to make a protective solution by using this kind of high reliability on-chip current and temperature sensing function with driver IC to achieve more accurate and timely protection in automotive inverter application. At the same time, it also explains how to maximize current output capability of automotive inverter based on on-chip power module.
