By adopting high performance large DIIM the prototype EV bus air conditioner inverter achieved compact size, high output power, high reliability, low cost etc.. In this paper, Mitsubishi electric large DIIM features, application points, circuit design are introduced. Lastly the testing data, testing result, CB outline are given. th 1. Introduction Large DIIM has been developed by Mitsubishi Electric Co., Ltd. By applying new designed full gate type CSTBT two new functions are built in DIIM. The two functions are current sensing function and temperature sensor function. With these two functions, it is easy for engineers to design short circuit protection circuit and over temperature protection circuit with low cost and high reliability. With the improved features, large DIIM is a suitable device for appliance application and industrial application such as general inverter and servo controller etc.. Another feature for large DIIM 4 is that different current ratings are all included in one package. Modules are available with blocking voltage ratings of 600V and 1200V. Devices with nominal current ratings of 50A to 75A at 600V and 5A to 50A at 1200V are all available in the same compact package outline. The outline, package and internal circuit are shown in Fig.1., Fig.2., Fig.3.. Fig.1. Outline of large DIIM Fig.2. Structure for large DIIM Fig.3. Internal circuit of large DIIM

Thermal design consideration Thermal design for semiconductor devices is very important for inverter. In order to protect IGBT chips, the maximum junction temperature is 150 for large DIIM To ensure junction temperature of large DIIM below 150 at any working condition of inverter, power loss simulation is necessary. The simulation software for Mitsubishi electric devices is shown in Fig.4.. In the simulation result, the definition of the junction temperature is average temperature. In order to keep some margin for temperature swing with IGBT switching, In simulation software the junction temperature should not exceed 125. The power loss of each IGBT and diode can also be calculated by the simulation software. Fig. 4. Simulation software for Large DIIM Fig.5. Temperature sensor characteristic 2.2. Consideration of over temperature protection Over temperature protection for Large DIIM is also needed to protect DIIM in case of bad cooling system or over current. For Large DIIM, it is easy to realize this function with built in temperature sensor. The temperature sensor characteristic is shown in Fig.5.. As an example, 90 could be regarded as the over temperature protection point with analog voltage output about 3.76V. 2.3. Consideration of short circuit protection In order to avoid large power dissipation in the shunt resistor, Large DIIM equipped with IGBT chips having a current mirror emitter. With this current mirror function there is no need to use power shunt resistor in short circuit protection. Fig.6. shows the circuit of the short circuit protection for Large DIIM.
