Gentron's Smart Power High Energy Module-SPHEM series

Abstract

The authors describe a novel type of power hybrid circuit incorporating high-power switching capability along with smart power features in a lightweight, hermetically sealed package. The limitations of existing power hybrids are discussed along with the advantages provided by the high-energy-module. Specifications of the SPHEM are presented along with information on how to use this device in power control applications. A design example is presented which shows how twelve SPHEMS are used to form a high-power H-bridge motor speed control. Packaging information and an interconnection diagram are included.<>
