4kW IGBT Intelligent Power Modules for industrial motor drives
Infineon Technologies has launched an intelligent power module (IPM) series for industrial motor drives up to 4kW with its latest IGBT power devices.
The Infineon CIPOS Maxi Intelligent Power Module (IPM) series combines a 7th generation 1220V TRENCHSTOP IGBT7 transistors with an EmCon 7 diode and a 6 channel gate driver for three phase control to increase reliability, optimize PCB size and reduce system cost.
The portfolio includes three new products in variants ranging from 10 A to 20 A for power ratings of up to 4.0 kW: IM12B10CC1, IM12B15CC1 and IM12B20EC1.
The IM12BxxxC1 series is packaged in a DIP 36x23D housing, making it the smallest package for 1200 V IPMs with the highest power density. The IPM is particularly aimed at low-power drives in applications such as motors, pumps, fans, heat pumps and outdoor fans for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
The new IPM series offers an isolated dual-in-line molded housing for improved thermal performance and electrical isolation. It also meets the EMI and overload protection requirements of demanding designs. In addition to the protection features, the IPM is equipped with an independent UL-certified temperature thermistor.
The CIPOS Maxi integrates a rugged 6-channel SOI gate driver to provide built-in dead time to prevent damage from transients. It features under-voltage lockout at all channels and over-current shutdown. With its multi-function pin, this IPM allows for high design flexibility for various purposes. The low side emitter pins can be accessed for all phase current monitoring making the device easy to control.
The three variants of the CIPOS Maxi IM12BxxxC1 portfolio can be ordered now.
