Product Brief

The RC-Drives IGBT technology is a cost optimized solution for the price-sensitive

consumer drivers market that provides outstanding performance for permanent

magnet synchronous and brushless DC motor drives.

The new family of reverse conduct RC-Drives Fast were developed to meet rising demand

for the low power motor drivers on consumer market. IGBT and diode losses are

optimized to reduce losses at frequencies of 4 ~ 30kHz. RC-Drives Fast enables high

efficiency designs for inverters above 16kHz to reduce the audiable noise to absolutely

silent level. Furthermore highly precise vector control techniques can be used to provide

more torque in operation at low speed and high performance dynamics in the control at

high speed. The small size of the components allows high power density designs with

less system costs.
