Fairchild offering a tool to select its motion control devices

Fairchild Semiconductor has developed the Motion Control Design Tool to assist in the selection of the optimum Fairchild Motion-SPM device for their specific applications. This tool addresses three-phase inverter sinusoidal modulation for variable speed drive applications powering permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and AC induction motors.

Part selection is based on a detailed entry of application specific I/O information. The program output includes module component losses, junction temperature increases, cooling requirements and junction temperature ripple at the motor/output frequency.

According to Fairchild:
The Motion Control Design Tool provides motor motion control design engineers with:
A quick and accurate method for selecting the correct Fairchild SPM device for their application
A simulation means for identifying their design's worst case input and output conditions from a loss and temperature rise aspect.
A delineation of the module's power component switching and conduction losses for their specific application, enabling them to quickly consider "what if" scenarios to optimize the design.
Graphical presentation of internal component losses, junction temperature rises and maximum allowable case temperature as a function of output phase current and switching frequency.
Total module losses and heatsink/cooling requirements.

Fairchild Semiconductor says it recently developed a new series of smart power modules (SPM), the SPM45H, that offers high system efficiency while replacing up to 23 discrete components.

Designed with system reliability in mind, the SPM45H series features the integration of 15 fully tested components compared to 23 discrete components, for 1.5kW motor designs. The SPM45H come with built-in advanced NPT IGBTs. Advanced STEALTH FRDs provide a good softness factor and low EMI characteristics.
