KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) has launched two 600 volt (V) small intelligent power devices (IPD) for brushless DC motor drive applications such as air conditioners, air cleaners and pumps.

According to Toshiba in a statement, volume shipments of “TPD4163F” and “TPD4164F”, which have output current (DC) ratings of 1A and 2A, respectively, have started.

Both new products are housed in a surface mount type HSSOP31 package, which reduces the mounting area by approximately 63 per cent against Toshiba’s previous products, making smaller motor drive circuit boards possible, and also reducing the height of the motor.

As power supply voltage may fluctuate significantly in regions with unstable power supply, the voltage has been increased from the 500V of Toshiba’s previous products to 600V, which improves reliability.

A “Reference Design for Sensorless Brushless DC Motor Drive Circuit” that utilises the functions of the new TPD4164F with a TMPM374FWUG microcontroller with vector control engine is available on Toshiba’s website.

Toshiba will continue to expand its product line-up for energy-saving motor controls with various packages and improved device characteristics that contribute to design flexibility and carbon neutrality.
