Quiescent BLDC inverters can be ordered into sleep-mode, reducing driver power consumption to less than 10 mW; this leaves more power available under regulated standby power limits to be allocated for loads such as network access and monitoring.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Cristian Ionescu-Catrina, product marketing manager at Power Integrations, said: “The low standby consumption of BridgeSwitch-2-based motor drives enables designers to meet new and emerging EU ERP regulations. BridgeSwitch-2 ICs are also far more efficient than IGBT based IPMs across the entire load range.” He continued: “From startup to performance optimization, the GUI-based tool, terminal emulator and MISRA C-compliant code library of MotorXpert greatly simplifies the design process, allowing the motor architecture to be optimized in real-time without repeated firmware updates. BridgeSwitch-2 is microprocessor agnostic, easing its adoption into existing systems - this is important as engineers update designs to meet more stringent standby regulations.”<br style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">BridgeSwitch-2 ICs address a power range of 30 to 746 W (1 HP), encompassing a broad range of applications including heat exchanger fans, refrigerator compressors, fluid and circulation pumps, gas boiler combustion fans, washing machine drums and kitchen blenders and mixers. The IHB architecture reduces component count by 50 percent and PCB space by 30 percent over discrete designs by eliminating shunt resistors and associated signal conditioning circuits. Shunt losses are also eliminated, improving efficiency. Precise motor control is achieved with the built-in real-time reporting of phase current (IPH) information. Accurate turn-on/off gate drive and a soft-body diode result in a typical EMI profile 10 dB lower than existing drivers, so a smaller EMI filter can be selected.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">BridgeSwitch-2 ICs feature built-in DC overvoltage protection and current limits that protect the inverter and the system without relying on system software. The choice of error-flag or comprehensive fault bus reporting supports a range of system requirements. Emerging use-cases like failure prediction are now possible with the high accuracy of the built-in IPH information and comprehensive reporting via the fault bus. BridgeSwitch-2 motor drives use built-in, hardware-based low- and high-side over-current protection to meet IEC 60335-1 Class A requirements. BridgeSwitch-2 also works without an auxiliary power supply, further reducing PCB area and component count.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; font-weight: bolder; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Availability & Resources<br style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="box-sizing: border-box; max-height: 1e+06px; color: rgb(43, 43, 43); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.995px; word-spacing: 1px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Pricing for BridgeSwitch-2 ICs starts at $0.48 for 10,000-unit quantities.
