The devices build on the success of ST's SLLIMM family of dual-in-line modules. These provide a direct connection between a low-voltage microcontroller and a mains-powered electric motor, replacing up to 10 active components. The SLLIMM second series offers higher performance, increased collector current range, and additional package-technology options that can reduce the cost of the application by enabling the use of smaller heatsinks.
The SLLIMM second series features a maximum controller current of 35A at 25°C and an internal configuration with two drivers - one high-side driver and one low-side driver - and dedicated trench-gate field-stop IGBTs, claimed to result in the industry's best compromise between conduction and switching losses, along with robustness and EMI behaviour.
