PWD13F60 High-Density Power Driver

STMicroelectronics' PWD13F60 is a complete 600 V, 8 A integrated power MOSFET full bridge with embedded gate drivers in a 13 mm x 10 mm outline. It saves bill-of-materials costs and board space in industrial motor drives, lamp ballasts, power supplies, converters, and inverters.

With a footprint 60% smaller than a comparable circuit built from discrete components, the PWD13F60 can boost end-application power density. By integrating four power MOSFETs, it presents a uniquely efficient solution for DC motors; a true alternative to other modules on the market that are typically dual-FET half-bridges or six-FET three-phase devices. Unlike either of these choices, only one PWD13F60 is needed to implement a full bridge topology, leaving no internal MOSFET unused.
