Toshiba Announces Series of High Voltage Single Chip Inverters for Brushless Motor Applications in Energy Saving Appliances
Silicon on Insulator Process and DIP26 Package with Low Thermal Resistance Contributes to Improved Energy Efficiency in Brushless Motor Applications
IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 26 /-- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, today announced a series of nine monolithic single-chip inverter driver integrated circuits targeted for use in direct current motors in energy saving appliances such as air conditioner fan motors, refrigerator compressor motors, pump motor drivers and DC brushless motors in washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers. Developed by Toshiba Corp., the series of high voltage intelligent power devices (IPD) are offered in low thermal resistance DIP26 packages to improve energy efficiency, and feature output voltages of 250 or 500 volts (V), and output current from 1 to 3 Amps (A).
"Energy saving features of electronic equipment are becoming increasingly important, and employing DC motors in electronic equipment can significantly improve the energy efficiency of electronic equipment, thus saving energy, said Jeff Lo, business development manager, power semiconductors, for TAEC. "Toshiba's latest generation inverter drivers are offered in a new DIP26 package with lower thermal resistance than conventional inverter drivers, and contribute to the energy efficiency of brushless DC motor applications."
The series includes one 250V, 1A device, the TPD4121K, and eight 500V devices with output current ranging from 1A to 3A. The series provides designers with a selection of integrated functions to meet various application requirements, including Hall sensor input or six inputs, three phase matrix logic, power management circuits, level shift drivers, over current protection, over temperature protection and under voltage protection. (Please see product specification table below for part numbers and supported features of each.)
The Toshiba series of high voltage IPD single chip inverters utilize silicon on insulator (SOI) process to enable use of the DIP26 package, which has a maximum thickness of 3.8mm, more than 25 percent thinner than the previous generation 5.2mm (max.) F23 package. Each of the nine devices incorporate bootstrapping diodes, so no high-side driving power is required due to bootstrapping. For ease of layout on a printed circuit board, high voltage power pins and low voltage signal pins are on opposite sides of the package. The control pins have a pitch of 2.0mm and the high voltage pins feature wide clearance of 3.8mm.
Samples of the Toshiba TPD Series of single-chip inverter drivers in DIP26 packaging are available now. Sample prices range from $5.00 for the 250V, 1A TPD4121K to $9.00 for the 500V, 3A TPD4125AK. The TPD4124K and TPD4124AK are scheduled to begin mass production in Q2 2008. The other seven inverters are beginning mass production now.
Toshiba's Discrete Products
Since 1986, Toshiba Corp. has ranked as the top discrete supplier on a worldwide basis, based on annual revenue from international shipments of total discrete products. According to the most recent annual report from market research firm Gartner Dataquest (San Jose, CA), Toshiba remained the top discrete semiconductor supplier. (Source: "2006 Worldwide Semiconductor Market Share Report," Gartner, released April 2007). More specifically, Toshiba is a leading supplier in a number of discrete product categories, including power transistors, rectifiers and thyristors, LMOS logic, CMOS logic, optoelectronics, small signal diodes and transistors. The company's discrete devices are designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance and lower voltages in today's wireless telecommunications and consumer electronics applications, while emphasizing its strength in the automotive and industrial markets.
