TIDA-00915: max power without heatsink and fan

Part Number: TIDA-00915

Hi,

It seems the 1.5kW nominal power is with heatsink and fan. How much is the max power without them?

Thanks.

  • Hi Jerry, We need to back calculate the allowable power dissipation. Will let you in the coming days.

  • Hi Jerry,

                    The output power supported without heat sink depends on multiple parameters like DC bus voltage, PCB copper thickness, Via, dv/dt, ambient temperature, switching frequency and more. With thermal resistance of 26.5deg, operating at 55deg ambient, maximum allowable power dissipation would be ~3.5W, which translates to 21w for all the six switches. Based on efficiency measurement from TIDA-00915, this would theoretically translates to 1000w. Considering derating of junction temperature and other factors, 600 - 750W might be reasonable.
