International Rectifier Expands iMOTION™ Line-up of Integrated Power Modules Driving Appliance Energy Efficiency

International Rectifier, has introduced a set of 600V, 16A and 20A integrated power modules (IPMs), expanding the analog power stage solutions offered as part of IR's iMOTION™ integrated design platform.

New devices feature higher current ratings and integrated HVIC technology

The new IPMs simplify the design of compact, high-performance variable-speed Motor Control power stages for air conditioners and commercial freezers, for example.

Designed specifically for 85V to 253V AC variable speed motor drives for energy efficient appliances, these new IPMs integrate IR's proprietary high voltage integrated circuit (HVIC) with a three-phase inverter power stage. The 16A device addresses the 750W to 1.2kW power range while the 20A devices can accommodate 750W to 2.2kW. All of the new IPMs are packaged in efficient, single in-line packages (SIP) with improved thermal characteristics.
