Application Notes

This application note provides basic guidelines on how to install the 1SP0335, 1SP0340 and 1SP0635 gate driver families on the IGBT modules. These recommendations are helpful to ensure proper mounting of the gate driver to the target IGBT module. It should be noted that it is recommended to use the exact target IGBT module. If issues arise due to use of different IGBT package, information in this note can help.

This application note is intended to assist in designing an isolated AC-DC flyback power supply or charger using the InnoSwitch3-PD device. It provides guidelines for selecting key components and the information necessary to complete a suitable transformer design.

This application note is intended as a design guide for engineers designing an isolated AC-DC single-stage flyback power supply using the MinE-CAP family of devices. It is assumed that the designer is using the MinE-CAP together with the InnoSwitch3 family of power conversion ICs. However, the design equations shown can be used for applications beyond the scope of this document.

This application note compares the thermal performance of the triangular PCB configuration to the slotted linear PCB configuration with regards to case temperature rise above ambient temperature and temperature variations between adjacent BridgeSwitch devices.

This application note (AN) provides guidance for using LinkSwitch-XT2 and should be read in conjunction with and in the context of the LinkSwitch-XT2 family data sheet.

This application note (AN) provides guidance for using TinySwitch-LT and should be read in conjunction with and in the context of the TinySwitch-LT family data sheet.

This application note describes the motor control theory and inverter drive implementation for a single-phase (BLDC) motor drive using BridgeSwitch.

Provides guidance to developers on how to use an evaluation board (TST-047) to test and debug InnoSwitch3-Pro based power supplies.

This application note describes the use of a tool made using an Arduino-UNO and an LCD Display shield which enabled evaluation of the power stage made using InnoSwitch3-Pro.

This application note provides answers to common BridgeSwitch technical questions.

This document offers guidelines for wave soldering design of InSOP-24 and HSOP-28 packages, particularly those without bottom exposed pads. Although IR/convection reflow is recommended for surface-mount attachment, both packages have been designed with wave soldering in mind when it is unavailable or not preferred. The document provides recommendations for solder pad layout, maximum spacing between solder pads, and solder thieves' orientation and design.
