4. Calculating STK672-732AN-E IPM Internal Power Loss
The average internal power loss in each excitation mode of the STK672-732AN-E can be calculated from the following
formulas.
Each excitation mode
2-phase excitation mode
2PdAVex = (Vsat+Vdf) (1/(t1+t2+t3)) IOHt2+(1/(t1+t2+t3)) IOH (Vsatt1+Vdft3)
1-2 Phase excitation mode
1-2PdAVex = (Vsat+Vdf) (1/(t1+t2+t3)) IOHt2+(1/(t1+t2+t3)) IOH (Vsatt1+Vdft3)
Motor hold mode
HoldPdAVex = (Vsat+Vdf) I
OH
Vsat : Combined voltage represented by the Ron voltage drop+shunt resistor
Vdf : Combined voltage represented by the MOSFET body diode+shunt resistor
t1, t2, and t3 represent the waveforms shown in the figure below.
t1 : Time required for the winding current to reach the set current (I
OH
)
t2 : Time in the constant current control (PWM) region
t3 : Time from end of phase input signal until inverse current regeneration is complete

t1 = (-L/(R+0.33)) ln (1-(((R+0.33)/V

t3 = (-L/R) ln ((V

(See pages to follow)
Then, determine if a heat sink is necessary by comparing with the Tc vs Pd graph (see next page) based on the
calculated average output loss, IPM.
For heat sink design, be sure to see ‘5. Thermal Design’.
The IPM average power, PdAVex described above, represents loss when not in avalanche mode.
To add the loss in avalanche mode, be sure to add PAVL using the formula (for average power loss , PAVL, for
STK672-7** during avalanche mode, described below to PdAVex described above.)
When using this IC without a fin, always check for temperature increases in the set, because the HIC substrate
temperature, Tc, varies due to effects of convection around the IPM.
