Thermal characterization
Figure 35 shows the thermal characterizations of REF-Vacuum-C101-2ED, based on 2 layers of FR4 PCB, as shown
in Figures 31~34.
The tests reported were performed under the following conditions: t
amb
=25°C, Vdc = 24 V, different phase current
values until the MOS case reaches 105 °C, four PWM frequencies (22, 45, 65 and 80 kHz) tested, 3-phase
modulation mode only, since switching loss is no longer a major issue for low voltage motor drive application
and 2-phase modulation is normally not needed.
