SPS IPC Drives 2015: ROHM Semiconductor Displays Its
Expanded Line of Power Modules and SiC Products
Latest Full SiC Power Modules with high voltage/currency capabilities Intelligent Power Modules for High-performance switchingsuper compact AC/DC converter control for SiC MOSFETs
Willich-Münchheide, October 12th 2015– At the occasion of SPS IPC Drives
in Nuremberg from November 24 – 26, ROHM Semiconductor will present its
latest Power modules for high-reliable, high-speed switching as well as SiC
MOSFET driving (Hall 1 - Booth 320). All devices not only offer optimized
power management features but also innovative and compact package design
tailored to the needs of a wide range of applications, e.g. large power supplies,
inverters, industrial equipment, servers, and others.
Highlights
Full SiC 1200V/300A Power Modules
The new BSM300D12P2E001 is especially suitable for high power applications
such as large-capacity power supplies for industrial equipment due to its 300A
rated current. In addition, 77% lower switching loss vs. conventional IGBT
modules enables high-frequency operation, contributing to smaller cooling
countermeasures and peripheral components. ROHM included a new package
design that is able to minimize the impact of surge voltage during switching. An
original electric field mitigation structure, along with a novel screening method,
is utilized to provide high reliability, making it a perfect replacement for IGBT
modules with higher maximum current rating. The new device complements the
existing full SiC power module range featuring 1200V/120A (MOSFET and SBD
included) respectively 1200V/180A (MOSFET only) which has already seen
increased adoption in the industrial and power sectors.
IGBT-IPMs (Intelligent Power Modules)
ROHM’s new IPM (Intelligent Power Module) family for power-efficient motor
driving and inverter applications includes IGBT based modules optimized for low
or high speed operation as well as MOSFET based IPMs which incorporate
ROHM’s proprietary Low Ron SuperJunction MOSFET (PrestoMOS™) within one
compact HSDIP25 package. This offers developers of white goods and industry
motors a highly reliable solution and a multitude of cost-efficient design options.
The new devices significantly reduce power loss at light and heavy loads while
increasing power capability. The full line-up contains 10A, 15A and 20A versions
of 600V IGBT-IPMs, 30A versions are under development.
AC/DC Converter Control ICs for SiC MOSFETs
The BD7682FJ-LB allows the easy implementation of SiC-MOSFETs to an AC/DC
converter overcoming the challenge of discrete configurations. It provides a
highly integrated solution and creates new standards for energy savings and
miniaturization while supporting the adoption of SiC power semiconductors.
Compared to silicon MOSFETs used in conventional AC/DC converters, SiC
MOSFETs enable AC/DC converters with improved power efficiency of up to 6%.
Furthermore, components used for heat dissipation are not required (50W Class
power supplies), leading to greater compactness. The specification of BD7682FJLB also include multiple protection functions that enable support for high
voltages up to 690VAC, making them ideal for general industrial equipment
while improving reliability.
