Motor Power Stage Protected with Rugged 600V ICs
|
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 appliances and light industrial equipment driven by variable speed motors ranging from 400W to 2500W. |
The IPMs are available as part of 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 high-side drive function
and the single polarity power supply, simplify
overall system design.
Design Support: The IRADK10 reference design kit
features a complete three-phase motor drive system
and easy-to-use control software with graphical
user interface (GUI).

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.
