Infineon introduces iMOTION IMI110 series for low-power devices

Infineon Technologies has launched the new intelligent power module (IPM) series iMOTION IMI110.

The series combines the iMOTION Motion Control Engine (MCE) with a three-phase gate driver and 600 V/2 A or 600 V/4 A IGBTs in a compact DSO-22 package. The integrated motor controller series is suitable for motors in small and large household appliances as well as fans and pumps with typically 70 W output power. Depending on the system design, even higher outputs can be achieved.

The MCE implements highly efficient field-oriented control (FOC) in sensorless motor inverters.  Ready-to-use, the MCE comes with a code-free motor control and integrated scripting. With its software tool Solution Designer for easy configuration and tuning, the MCE is able to simplify the development of highly integrated, function-optimised motor control solutions, enabling fast time-to-market.

In addition, rapid prototyping of a customer specific iMOTION IPM is enabled via two new control boards for the iMOTION Modular Application Design Kit (MADK).

The IMI110 series also offers improved creepage and clearance. The devices also deliver excellent ruggedness and reliability, they are qualified according to HV-H3TRB.

Sensorless single-shunt operation, integrated bootstrap diodes, and single-layer PCB design contribute to a reduced bill of materials (BOM).

IMI110 devices are pre-certified for applications requiring functional safety to UL/IEC 60730 (Class B) standard. In addition, they offer a full set of protection features in hardware and software.
