Development of New 1200V SPM ® Smart Power Module for up to 6kW Motor Drive Applications

This paper introduces the new 1200V SPM® (Smart Power Module), which is fully optimized and intelligent integrated IGBT inverter modules for up to 6kW motor drive applications. It utilizes newly developed NPT trench IGBT with the advanced STEALTH freewheeling diode, and built-in bootstrap diode. HVICs, multi-function LVIC, and built-in thermistor provide good reliable characteristics for the entire system. This module also takes technical advantage of DBC(Direct Bonded Copper) substrate for the better thermal performance. This paper provides an overall description of the newly developed 1200V/35A SPM 2 product.
