• Features open emitter legs on the SP variant for direct phase current sensing
• Includes integrated high-voltage ICs allowing direct connection to low-voltage CPUs
• Provides short-circuit protection capability with self-protection supply voltage limit

Applications

• Washing Machines
• Refrigerators
• Air Conditioners
• Small Servo Motors
• Small Motor Control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SP' indicates the Mini DIP configuration with open emitter legs for current sensing. Confirm the 'P' suffix denotes lead-free lead frame construction. Ensure the component matches the 37-pin outline drawing dimensions provided in the datasheet. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official Powerex documentation to confirm authenticity and revision status.

Selection Notes

Select this module for applications requiring compact three-phase motor driving where space constraints are critical. The integrated HVICs simplify design by enabling direct CPU interfacing without external level shifters. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and heatsink flatness requirements when designing the cooling system. Verify that the required switching frequency does not exceed the recommended 20 kHz limit for optimal performance.
