Infineon’s CIPOS Maxi modules for 4kW motor drives

The new IM12BxxxC1 series is based on the new TRENCHSTOP IGBT7 1,200V and rapid diode EmCon 7 technology. Thanks to the latest micro-pattern trench design, it offers exceptional control and performance. This results in significant loss reduction, increased efficiency, and higher power density. The portfolio includes three new products in variants ranging from 10A to 20A for power ratings of up to 4.0kW: IM12B10CC1, IM12B15CC1, and IM12B20EC1.

The IM12BxxxC1 series is packaged in a DIP 36 x 23D housing. It integrates various power and control components to increase reliability, optimise PCB size, and reduce system costs. This makes it the smallest package for 1,200V IPMs with the highest power density and best performance in its class. The IM12BxxxC1 series is particularly suitable for 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 moulded housing for excellent 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 six-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.
