Fairchild Semiconductor's Motion-SPM(TM) in 29mm x 12mm SMD Packaging Optimizes Energy Efficiency and Board Space in Low-Power I
November 15 2006 - 11:00AM
Business Wire
Enhancing its portfolio of Smart Power Modules (SPM�), Fairchild
Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) introduces the FSB50325S (250V), FSB50250S
(500V) and FSB50450S (500V), three new Motion-SPM� devices
available in 29mm x 12mm surface-mount-device (SMD) packages. The
Motion-SPM in SMD enables designers to achieve the highest levels
of energy efficiency, compactness and low electromagnetic
interference (EMI) required by small (50-125W) inverter motor drive
applications such as water pumps, dishwasher motors and fan motors.
By virtue of their high amount of integration and advanced
packaging, these modules also dramatically simplify designs, speed
time to market and reduce total system cost. �Designers of
dishwasher inverter motors must contend with stringent
energy-efficiency requirements as well as limited PCB board space,�
said Taehoon Kim, vice president of Fairchild Semiconductor�s
Functional Power Group. �Fairchild�s new Motion-SPM in SMD
packaging improves system power efficiency by providing a high
isolation voltage rating of 1500Vrms for one minute and excellent
thermal resistance. In addition, their ultra-small-footprint
package is ideally suited for these space-constrained applications;
and because these are surface-mount devices, they further reduce
space and ease design complexity by allowing the designer to
utilize the backside of the PCB where the module is mounted.
Additionally, the SMD-packaged Motion-SPM allows PCB manufacturers
to use standard automated assembly line processes to speed design
cycle time and reduce manufacturing costs.� Each Motion-SPM
integrates six fast-recovery MOSFETs (FRFET�) and three half-bridge
high-voltage ICs (HVIC) into one thermally efficient package.
Utilizing Fairchild�s innovative technologies, these integrated
components result in low-loss and low EMI characteristics that
improve efficiency and reliability in the application. By employing
a MOSFET as the device�s power switch, the Motion-SPM also provides
better system ruggedness and a larger safe operating area (SOA)
than either IGBT-based power modules or one-chip solutions.
Compared to discrete approaches, these highly integrated modules
not only offer significant space savings, they also eliminate the
time-consuming task of testing and qualifying multiple discrete
components. The Motion-SPM in SMD packaging enhances Fairchild�s
existing line of Motion-SPM products. Designers now have the option
to choose the most appropriate package, an SMD or Tiny-DIP (dual
in-line package). This packaging flexibility allows designers to
choose the optimum device for their specific motor application
requirements. For information about Fairchild�s entire SPM
portfolio, please go to www.fairchildsemi.com/spm. These lead
(Pb)-free devices meet or exceed the requirements of the joint
IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C and are compliant with European Union
regulations now in effect. Price (each): US$ 6.60 -- FSB50325S
(250V) US$ 7.20 -- FSB50250S (500V) US$ 7.80 -- FSB50450S (500V)
