ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ON) has introduced what it calls the industry’s most compact 650 volt, 50 ampere intelligent power module for controlling vehicle AC compressors and other high-voltage auxiliary motor applications in hybrid and electric vehicles.

The FAM65V05DF1 integrates IGBTs, freewheeling diodes and gate drivers in an automotive-qualified package with a footprint of 12 square centimeters – up to 40% smaller than solutions assembled from multiple discrete components.

The device is designed to simplify and shorten the process of designing the power stages of high-voltage automotive auxiliary inverters for AC compressors and oil pumps – applications that must comply with stringent performance standards with tight space constraints.
