New generation power module and motor controller from Infineon reduce system cost, improve reliability and lower energy consumption
SINGAPORE, May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Designers of Infineon's Home appliances( 
https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/applications/consumer/home-appliances/) 
applications such as washing machines( 
https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/applications/consumer/home-appliances/washing-machines/), 
low-power fridge compressors, and industrial drives requiring high efficiency, 
or hair dryers, kitchen hoods, ceiling and air conditioner fans requiring 
smaller footprint, can now further reduce system cost and energy consumption 
while improving reliability.

(Innovative appliances: there are three key challenges major home appliance 
manufacturers face today: meeting increasingly demanding energy-efficiency 
regulations; accommodating high power density in a slim, compact design; and 
enabling secured, software-based smart functions.)

CIPOS(TM) Tiny - the 3-phase inverter module is the newest generation of 
intelligent power module (IPM) with the highest power density for variable 
speed motor drives.

CIPOS(TM) Micro IM231 series - a family of 600 V rated IPM qualified for harsh 
humid environments, passing 1000 hours of high voltage, high temperature and 
high humidity reverse bias (HV H3TRB) stress testing best suited for power 
appliance motor drives in circulator hydronic pumps, drain pumps for washing 
machines and dishwashers.

iMOTION(TM) IMM100 series - the motor drive IC combining the motor controller 
IC and a 3-phase inverter stage in a single, highly compact 12 x 12 mm(2) PQFN 
package enables BOM count and PCB size reduction, thus lowering system cost and 
R&D efforts. It features full hardware and software integration needed for BLDC 
motor drives( 
https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/applications/motor-control-and-drives/brushless-dc-motor/#!overview) 
of up to 80W without heatsink.

Features

Both CIPOS Tiny CIPOS Micro IM231 series features the latest motor drive 
TRENCHSTOP(TM)6 IGBT and optimized switching characteristics for higher 
efficiency and low EMI.

CIPOS IM231 series offers performance, ruggedness, protection, and ease of use. 
The anti shoot-through prevents spurious simultaneous turn on of high and low 
side IGBTs caused by malfunction of the microcontroller or external noise. The 
IPM can be implemented in applications with or without heatsink, pushing power 
up to 450 W. Above that, multiple markets ranging from 100 to 230 VAC can be 
addressed with the same IPM package and an identical PCB design for easy 
design-in.

The IMM100 series offers two optimized variants to best serve the needs of 
design engineers and achieve R&D cycle time reduction:

The T-variant features the highly sophisticated FOC algorithm integrated in the 
iMOTION MCE 2.0 (Motion Control Engine 2.0) to take advantage of the 
easy-to-use software tools for system configuration and tuning. It also 
complements system level functionalities using iMOTION scripting and, 
optionally, with PFC control.

The A-variant enables engineers to implement proprietary motor control software 
by utilizing the fully programmable integrated ARM(R)Cortex(R)-M0 MCU -- and 
still enjoy the benefits of complete hardware integration. In this case, the 
industry-standard ARM(R) MCU IDE tools support the software design process, 
compiling and debugging.

Specifications

CIPOS Tiny is molded in a compact and fully isolated thermally enhanced 34x15 
mm(2) package. In addition, Tiny SIP and DIP form factors offer system 
mechanical design flexibility. It has an integrated high precision temperature 
monitor, over-current protection, and under-voltage lockout function offering a 
high system level protection and fail-safe operation. Using the newest single 
3-phase level-shifting high voltage driver IC adds to highest efficiency and 
ruggedness. The gate driver is compatible down to 3.3 V controller outputs.

With 2 kV, CIPOS IM231 series offers the highest UL1557-certified isolation 
voltage in its class. The series comprises 4 A (IM231-M6S1B ( 
https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/power/intelligent-power-modules-ipm/im231-m6s1b/), 
IM231-M6T2B ( 
https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/power/intelligent-power-modules-ipm/im231-m6t2b/)) 
and 6 A (IM231-L6S1B ( 
https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/power/intelligent-power-modules-ipm/im231-l6s1b/), 
IM231-L6T2B ( 
https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/power/intelligent-power-modules-ipm/im231-l6t2b/)) 
offerings. For best fit, CIPOS Micro IM231 is offered in both, through-hole 
(THD) and surface mount (SMD) form factors. Built-in UL certified NTC 
thermistor, anti-shoot through and accurate over current protection with a high 
accuracy of +/-5 percent, and fault reporting features provide for a smarter 
system design.

The iMOTION IMM100 series of motor control ICs features three different 
MOSFET-based power stages: 500 V / 6 ohm, 600 V / 1.4 ohm and 600 V / 0.95 ohm 
to best match designers' performance and cost targets. These devices also offer 
flexible sensing options by supporting single-shunt or leg-shunt topologies 
(sensorless option), as well as supporting Hall sensors. Additionally, the 
IMM100 integrate multiple protection features, e.g. under-/over-voltage 
protection, over-current protection, rotor lock and shoot-through protection.
