Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has launched two 600 V small intelligent power devices (IPD) for brushless DC motor drive applications such as air conditioners, air cleaners, and pumps. Volume shipments of TPD4163F and TPD4164F have output current (DC) ratings of 1 A and 2 A, respectively.

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

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

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