Two-Level Three-Phase Inverter Module

PWR-TPI6020 - Three-Phase Inverter Module

48 V/20 A Three-Phase Inverter Module

The PWR-TPI6020 module is a modular three-phase inverter with individual gate driver control. This module is fully compatible with Speedgoat FPGA technologies such as the IO397 I/O modules and can easily be connected to any real-time target machine.

The module is optimized for use as a three-phase inverter. Its modular design, however, also makes it ideal as a full bridge or a high-side or low-side driver.

The PWR-TPI6020 enables you to control each single gate driver, and monitor the phase current and bus voltage of your closed-loop applications.

When used with FPGA I/O modules, the PWR-TPI6020 is ideal for closed-loop applications using MATLAB^® and Simulink^® with closed-loop rates up to 20 kHz and faster using HDL Coder™.

*Effective environmental temperature support depends on the application, and the performance is limited by the temperature protection. Each module benefits from passive cooling. Higher temperatures may arise inside the enclosure. Active cooling can be used to increase the performance.
