The Powerex High Voltage Intelligent Power Module is a high-voltage intelligent power module that combines gate drive and protection circuitry in a fully isolated package. The new HVIPM reduces the saturation voltage by 7.5% while maintaining high short circuit withstanding capability. Gate drive noise is resolved through the use of the HVIPM by optimizing the control of the chip through close proximity of the gate drive control circuit.
The document describes the Powerex PM1200HCE330-1 High Voltage Intelligent Power Module (HVIPM). This device combines gate drive and protection circuitry in a fully isolated package, featuring reduced saturation voltage and optimized control for high short-circuit withstanding capability.
