It was found that the self-turn-on of the low side MOSFET is triggered by large body diode reverse recovery current. A new multi chip module (MCM) has been developed in order to suppress the self-turn-on of the LS MOSFETs and to reduce the parasitic inductances. The MCM also has unique upper surface cooling feature. The MCMs successfully improve the conversion efficiency by using the MOSFETs with reduced body diode reverse recovery. Conversion efficiency can be further improved by reducing the gate resistance and optimizing the dead time","PeriodicalId":154808,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. ISPSD '05.

The recent emerging appliance motor control such as variable speed motor controlled air conditioner and washer requires further advancement for energy saving which mandates the use of high energy efficiency motor such as permanent magnet motor even without a position sensor. It becomes difficult to fulfil this daunting task by using traditional computation method.
