FSAM20SH60A is an advanced smart power module (SPM) that Fairchild has newly developed and designed to provide very compact and high performance ac motor drives mainly targeting high speed low-power inverterdriven application like washing machines. It combines optimized circuit protection and drive matched to low-loss IGBTs. Highly effective short-circuit current detection/ protection is realized through the use of advanced current sensing IGBT chips that allow continuous monitoring of the IGBTs current. System reliability is further enhanced by the built-in over-temperature monitoring and integrated undervoltage lock-out protection. The high speed built-in HVIC provides opto-coupler-less IGBT gate driving capability that further reduce the overall size of the inverter system design. In addition the incorporated HVIC facilitates the use of single-supply drive topology enabling the FSAM20SH60A to be driven by only one drive supply voltage without negative bias. Inverter current sensing application can be achieved due to the divided negative dc terminals.
