Mitsubishi Electric Launches Super-mini Full SiC DIPIPM
Mitsubishi Electric has launched a new transfer-mold power semiconductor model in its line-up of Super-mini Dual-In-line Package Intelligent Power Modules (DIPIPM), embedded with SiC-MOSFETs, designed for use in air conditioners.
According to Mitsubishi, using SiC-MOSFETs reduces power consumption by about 70 percent compared with the company's existing Super-mini DIPIPM, and contributes to an overall reduction in air conditioner power consumption.
Another key product feature is simplified inverter system design. According to the company, the footprint and pin configurations are compatible with Mitsubishi Electric's existing Super mini DIPIPM Ver.6, PSSxxS92x6series. Designed with a high threshold voltage, the SiC-MOSFETdesign does not require a negative bias circuit, allowing simplification of the system design. In addition, there are fewer external components needed due to use of embedded bootstrap diode with current-limiting resistor.
