The new Mini-SPM series consists of a suite of seven modules offering best-in-class thermal resistance.
Each module integrates three high-voltage ICs (HVICs), one low-voltage IC (LVIC), six IGBTs and six fast recovery diodes in the industry's most compact Mini-DIP package.
Designers can achieve increased design flexibility for the entire power range from 0.3 to 3.0kW, as these devices range from 3 to 30A in a single package outline.
'By using these devices, 0.3kW-rated applications can be easily upgraded to 3.0kW simply by selecting different Mini-SPM products', said Taehoon Kim, Vice President of Fairchild's High Power product line.
'Best-in-class thermal resistance is achieved through Fairchild's direct bonded copper (DBC) technology, enabling Mini-SPM devices to reach the targeted power rating of 30A in ultracompact packaging'.
Designers are charged with conserving board space and streamlining end applications.
Fairchild's Mini-SPM series reduces board space by utilising an ultracompact 44 x 26.8mm Mini-DIP package, and by incorporating built-in HVICs that provide an optocoupler-less, single supply IGBT gate driving capability.
The Mini-SPM series offers designers high reliability with integrated undervoltage lock out (UVLO) and short circuit (SC) protection.
Fairchild's Smart Power Modules integrate analogue and discrete technologies in one package, reducing board space and overall costs.
The Mini-SPM series is the latest example of Fairchild's continued commitment to meet performance and environmental requirements for a broad range of consumer applications.
