Business Wire
Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier
of high performance products that enable energy-efficiency, has
been selected by one of China�s largest manufacturers and exporters
of household appliances, Midea Group, as its major supplier of
inverter solutions for DC air conditioners.
Fairchild�s Motion-SPM devices will be deployed in Midea�s
innovative Galaxy product family, which consists of a comprehensive
line of high-end, mid-end and low-end 180� sine wave control DC
inverter air conditioners. Midea selected the devices for their
power optimization capabilities and ease of design.
These devices integrate discrete technologies into
highly-efficient and reliable modules, and are specifically
designed for very compact and high performance AC motor drives and
low power inverter-driven applications such as air conditioners and
washing machines. System reliability is further enhanced by the
integrated under-voltage lock-out and short circuit protection. The
high speed built-in HVIC provides optocoupler-less single-supply
IGBT gate driving capability that further reduces the overall size
of the air conditioners� inverter system design. Each phase current
of inverter can be monitored separately due to the divided negative
DC terminals.
The Motion-SPM series features:
- UL Certified No.E209204(SPM27-EA
package).
- Very low thermal resistance due
to using Direct Bonded Copper (DBC) packaging.
- 600V-30A 3-phase IGBT inverter
bridge including control ICs for gate driving and protection.
- Divided negative DC-link
terminals for inverter current sensing applications.
- Single-grounded power supply due
to built-in HVIC.
- Isolation rating of
2500Vrms/min.
�Midea�s operations adhere to the slogan �innovation and
technology�. We are committed to becoming the leader in innovation
and technology in the air-conditioning industry both here in China
and around the world, in places like the United States. We used
three criteria when benchmarking for this variable air conditioner,
they were technology, product and price,� commented Mr. Wu Wenxin,
vice president at Midea.
�We are honored that Midea has selected our Motion-SPM products
for its Galaxy range. Within the next few years China is expected
to become the world�s largest inverter air conditioner market. We
look forward to our continued strategic partnership with the
company and to assisting them with the development of further
innovations that benefit consumers,� commented Benjamin Tan,
Fairchild�s regional vice president of sales, China and South East
Asia said. �We are committed to strengthening Fairchild�s
leadership position as The Power Franchise� with additional
innovative products that enable further energy-efficiency gains for
our customers.�
