Q1.What happens if a short circuit occurs within the load or the IGBT Arms?

Inverter IC series has not guaranteed the output short circuit. If an output short circuit occurs, IC may break.

Q2.What happens to these Inverters during surge voltage conditions?

This IC series has not guaranteed the amount of surge voltage durability. Please use a surge suppressor diode. so that applied voltage becomes within the maximum rating.

Q3.What is the internal structure of these IC packages?

The package of three types is used for inverter IC series. These are roughly divided and are divided into a package group called SIP (Single in Line Package) and SOP (Small Outline Package).A classification of a package is as follows.

SP-23TA, SP-23TB, SP-23TR
FP-28DJ

Here, the internal structure and composition material of a package about SIP and SOP are indicated. Please refer to Here SIP (PDFformat, 20KB), SOP (PDFformat, 27KB).

Q4.How much do these Inverter ICs weigh?

Weight is shown in the following table.

The kind of High-Voltage Monolithic ICs Motor Driver ICs Gate Driver ICs
The kind of package SIP
(Single in Package)
SOP
(Small Outline Package)
Back of 1-3 characters of a form name SP SPV SPR F
The Hitachi package code SP-23TA SP-23TB SP-23TR FP-28DJ
Weight of IC Around 4.6g Around 0.7g

Q5.Do all Inverters have an IGBT Arm short circuits prevent function?
[Applied IC: ECN30611/30601/30603/30604/30671/3053/3054/30531/30541]

The logic circuit which prevents an arm short circuit is built in the ECN306* series, and ECN3053/3054/30531/30541. However, if it takes into consideration till the delay time of an output of operation, a short circuit state cannot be prevented completely. Therefore, in an incoming signal, it is necessary to prepare the dead time with consideration to output delay time. About a setup of a dead time, please refer to Inverter Application Technical Notes Q10.

Q6.Do all Inverters have an over-current detection function?

The over-current detection function attaches the Motor driver IC series.
