Integrated Solution Provides Simplified Motor Design, Energy
Efficiency and Reduced Board Space for Air Conditioners and Washing
Machines Fairchild Semiconductor's (NYSE: FCS) Motion-Smart Power
Module (SPM(TM)) has been selected by Daikin Industries for use in
its inverter-based air conditioners. Daikin Industries, a leading
manufacturer of residential, commercial and industrial
air-conditioning systems, selected Fairchild's FSBS15CH60 due to
the product's superior performance and advanced packaging, and
Fairchild's history of excellent engineering support. By combining
multiple functions into a single Mini-DIP package, the Motion-SPM
module provides high reliability, simplified motor drive design,
energy efficiency and board space reduction for low-power inverter
driven applications. "Daikin chose Fairchild's integrated Smart
Power Module for the high reliability and superior performance we
are able to achieve in our inverter-based air conditioners.
Fairchild satisfied our strict quality standards and actively
supported our design engineers by providing reliability data and
technical materials through package, design, and quality tests
phases," said Masakazu Iida, manager of Daikin Industries.
"Fairchild's Motion-SPM is designed to address a compelling need
for highly compact and high-performance AC motor drives for air
conditioners and washing machines. These highly integrated modules
combine up to 16 discrete devices into one compact Mini-DIP package
offering designers a solution that significantly reduces board
space requirements. We were pleased to work with Daikin Industries
on this product for their air conditioner designs," commented
Taehoon Kim, vice president of Fairchild's High Power product line.
The FSBS15CH60 combines three high-voltage ICs (HVICs), one
low-voltage IC (LVIC), six IGBTs and six fast-recovery diodes
(FRDs) into a compact (44 mm x 26.8 mm), thermally efficient
Mini-DIP package. This module offers high reliability due to its
fully tested coordination of HVICs and IGBTs and integrated
under-voltage lock-out and short circuit protection. The FSBS15CH60
features low-loss efficient IGBTs and FRDs that are optimized
specifically for motor drive applications. Daikin supplies
approximately 40% of the total commercial and industrial
air-conditioning systems for the Japanese market. Fairchild expects
to ship 400,000 units of SPM devices in 2005 to support Daikin's
demand. For information on other Fairchild Smart Power Modules
