Toshiba Unveils 600 V Intelligent Power Device for Brushless DC Motor Drives

Toshiba has released a 600 V/3A small intelligent power device (IPD) TPD4165K for brushless DC motor drive applications such as air conditioners, air purifiers, and pumps. The new product “TPD4165K” has increased its maximum output current from 2 A to 3 A compared with Toshiba’s existing products. It allows supporting a wide range of equipment that requires more power for motor drives.

“TPD4165K” is housed in a through-hole type HDIP30 package, which reduces the mounting area by approximately 21 % against Toshiba’s previous products. This helps reduce the size of motor drive circuit boards. As power supply voltage may fluctuate significantly in regions with unstable power supply, the voltage has been increased from 500 V of Toshiba’s previous products to 600 V, which improves reliability.

A "Reference Design for Sensorless Brushless DC Motor Drive Circuit" that utilizes the new TPD4165K and a TMPM374FWUG microcontroller with vector control engine, is available on Toshiba's website.

Toshiba will continue to expand its product line-up with improved characteristics, to improve design flexibility, and to contribute to carbon neutrality through energy-saving motor control.
