Motor-drive IC comes with a demonstration kit
-- EDN, June 29, 2005
Requiring no heat sink for electronic-motor-drive applications requiring operation at power as high as 180W, the IR3103 motor-drive half-bridge FredFET includes a gate-driver IC. The miniSIP-11 package features isolation ratings of 1500V rms/minute, enables shorter inter-component connections, and reduces EMI emissions. Able to operate at a maximum input voltage rating of 500V, at temperatures as high as 150°C, the device also supports ESD protection and includes a bootstrap diode for the high-side driver section. The IRADK31 demonstration kit, includes a three-phase, 250W motor-drive system and software that compares several motor-control-drive strategies for ac induction motors and advanced brushless dc motors. The IR3103 costs $1.25 (10,000).
