These devices are designed for full-switching power factor correction in motor drive applications in the 3-6kW power range. The FPDB20PH60 (600V/20A), FPDB30PH60 (600V/30A), and FPDB50PH60 (600V/50A) all integrate two fast-recovery diodes, two freewheeling diodes, two IGBTs, a gate-driver IC, a shunt resistor and a thermistor into one package measuring 44 x 26.8 mm. They are half the size of other devices, and use 40 kHz-switching operation for less power loss, typically providing 99 percent power factor. They have under-voltage and over-current protection through integrated gate-driving IC, and offer an isolation voltage rating of 2,500 Vrms/min.
Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
