Low-power motor drivers

18 May 2016 Power Electronics / Power Management

STMicroelectronics has expanded its Intelligent Power Module portfolio with the introduction of the SLLIMM-nano 2nd series, adding higher power levels and new package options that increase efficiency and reduce cost.

The new devices suit compressors, pumps and fans in domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, and any low-power motors working up to 20 kHz in hard-switching circuits in an application power range up to 200 W. SLLIMM-nano devices integrate three half-bridge, high-voltage gate drivers, six IGBTs, and six fast and ultra-soft freewheeling recovery diodes, as well low-voltage input logic that allow the devices to implement the complete interface between a low-power microcontroller and a mains-powered, three-phase electric motor.
