Inverter HICs for Home Appliances

Alarm bells have been set off in recent years by rising sea levels,
desertification, abnormal weather patterns and other serious environmental issues due to the global warming caused by the increased emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
In typical Japanese homes,
home electrical appliances account for about 40% of all CO2 emissions produced.

Guided by its "Think GAIA" vision,
SANYO Semiconductor has brought to the market a line-up of inverter HICs for home electrical appliances that contribute to conserving energy and reducing CO2 emissions in these appliances.
By utilizing its original IMST® technology,
the company has succeeded in integrating the power devices,
high-withstand voltage driver ICs, and full complement of protection circuits that are required to drive 3-phase motors in a single, compact package.

High-performance and high-reliability inverter control can easily be realized.
