In deploying any Industrial Network a great deal of planning is needed to determine the proper topology. Not only for the needs of the installation as it is, but also for how the installation will evolve as the products and business mature. Because of the tight control loops used in automated processes, an industrial network is often far more time critical. In addition, there is a need to have redundant or backup communication paths brought on line very rapidly.
The new device is a half-bridge FredFET with gate driver IC that does not require a heatsink for electronic motor drive applications up to 180W. Packaged in a 11-pin mini SIP, the IR3103...
