Mitsubishi Electric Announce Three New Power Semiconductor models
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has announced the launch of three new transfer-mold power semiconductor models in its lineup of Super-mini Dual-In-line Package Intelligent Power Modules (DIPIPMTM) embedded with Super-Junction Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (SJ-MOSFET), including new 10A/600V and 20A/600V models and a revised 15A model that offers improved performance. The 15A and 20A models will launch on May 22.
Product Features
1) Expanded lineup will cover full power range of air conditioners
- Air conditioners ranging from 2.2kW to 8kW will be covered thanks to the new 10A/600V and 20A/600V models.
2) Reduced power consumption in inverter systems
- SJ-MOSFET chip uses high-precision processing method to reduce power loss by about 14% compared to Mitsubishi Electric's existing Super-mini DIPIPM products.
3) Simplified design for inverter systems
- Footprint and pin configuration are compatible with Mitsubishi Electric's existing Ver.6, PSSxx92x6 series, etc. of Super-mini DIPIPM.
- Fewer external components due to use of embedded bootstrap diode with current-limiting resistor.
In 1997, Mitsubishi Electric commercialized its first DIPIPM transfer-mold intelligent power semiconductor module, representing a great contribution to downsizing and energy savings in inverter systems. In line with growing demands for environmental protection and energy savings, especially in the Japanese market, consumers are increasingly choosing air conditioners that offer high power efficiency. In response, Mitsubishi Electric launched its lineup of DIPIPM products embedded with SJ-MOSFET in August 2013.
