Contributes to reduced power consumption, miniaturization and lower cost of
small-capacity motors for refrigerators, other products
TOKYO--(Business Wire)--
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today it will launch a
transfer-mold-type, super-mini dual inline package intelligent power module
(DIPIPM) primarily used for inverter drive systems of small-capacity motors in
refrigerators and other consumer appliances. The module uses a metal oxide
semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) switching device featuring low
power-on voltage in low current regions. Sales will begin on March 1.

With optimized low-loss-drive ICs and a high-heat dissipation design, the module
will help to reduce power consumption, advance miniaturization and lower the
cost of inverter systems for small-capacity motor drive applications.

Product Features

1)Reduced power consumption in small-capacity inverter systems

* Power-on voltage in low current regions is reduced by about 60% compared to
Mitsubishi Electric's existing "PS219B2" DIPIPM at 0.5A and 25 degrees Celsius,
by employing a MOSFET switching device.
* Reduction of recovered-power loss by optimizing the MOSFET process.
* Reduction of IC power loss by optimizing the control IC.

2)High reliability through high-heat dissipation structure

* Suppression of channel temperature rise by reducing power loss of switching
device and applying a high-heat dissipation insulation sheet.

3) Cost reduction and miniaturization of final product

* Facilitation of thermal radiation via the high-heat dissipation design.
* Reduction of external components thanks to built-in bootstrap diode (BSD) with
current limiting resistor.

In 1997, Mitsubishi Electric first commercialized its DIPIPM transfer-mold-type
intelligent power module, which has contributed greatly to miniaturization and
energy-savings in inverter systems. The technology has gained increased
importance because annual power consumption has become an important index of
energy-saving performance in consumer appliances, such as refrigerators. Needs
are increasing for reducing loss in rated power, and also in low current regions
where a high percentage of power use is concentrated.

DIPIPM is a registered trademark of Mitsubishi Electric.
