EE Training Days - 98% Efficient Motor Inverters With Less Than 10 mW No-Load

Emerging standby regulations (e.g. EU ErP) require a redesign of appliance compressor inverters to optimize light-load efficiency and achieve lowest no-load power consumption. This requirement goes beyond what we can do with the hardware so you have to combine with software controls if we want to meet these requirements.

This webinar will explore how to utilize BridgeSwitch-2 motor driver ICs to maximize efficiency, how to use the software to drive down power consumption as load decreases, and how to go beyond conventional sleep mode to get quiescent power down to less than 10 mW. If we can achieve that, designers have the opportunity to provide appliances that have sufficient power budget in sleep mode to start-up fast when you press the on button.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• The fundamentals of how to minimize energy loss at each stage of conversion.
• The importance of meeting the new energy efficiency regulations which are forcing the adoption of new and innovative designs.
• How to optimize each stage of the power conversion process, linking auxiliary and inverter power conversion to system status.
