Introduction of Short Circuit Protection Design for DIPIPM

DIPIPM is a series of Dual-in-line Package lntelligent Power Module of Mitsubishi Electric, which is designed for motor inverter control applications such as home appliances and industrial application. At present, DIPIPM has three key series, including Super Mini DIPIPM, Mini DIPIPM and Large DIPIPM. Short circuit (hereinafter called SC) is one of the key factors causing failure of power device, therefore, short circuit protection plays an important part in avoiding power device from destroying. The short circuit protection design for DIPIPM will be introduced in this paper.
