Integrating industry benchmark three-phase high voltage ICs and rugged trench IGBTs in a sleek and innovative single in-line package (SIP), IR’s intelligent power modules (IPMs) deliver a complete power stage solution for today’s energy-efficient appliance and light industrial equipment driven by variable speed motors ranging from 400W to 2500W.

The IPMs are an addition to the iMOTION™ family of integrated design platforms from IR. Together with a few external components and our IRMCK series of controllers, they form a complete motor drive system, greatly accelerating the design path compared to a multi-discrete solution.

Built-in over-temperature/over-current protection, along with short-circuit rated IGBTs, an integrated under-voltage lockout function, and built-in temperature monitor provide a high level of protection and fail-safe operation. Other integrated features, such as bootstrap diodes for the highside drive function and the single polarity power supply, simplify overall system design.

Main Configurations

• Open emitter coniguration: flexible architecture to configure current sensing feedback resistors. Over-temperature is detected internally and triggers the fault condition.
• Integrated current shunt configuration: a current shunt is included on the negative bus of the inverter. Over-current is detected internally and triggers the fault condition.

IR’s iMOTION brings digital controllers, analog stage and power modules together in one easy to implement, integrated design platform.
