IM393 IPM Technical Description
Introduction

Introduction
With the global emphasis on energy efficiency, there are ever stricter requirements on the efficiency of motor
drive circuits. CIPOS
™
Integrated Power Modules (IPMs) are becoming more popular in the home appliance and
industrial motor-drive applications, because of their higher efficiency, smaller size, easier assembly and shorter
development time.
The next generation of CIPOS
™
IPM from Infineon Technologies has been developed with a focus on improving
module efficiency and long-term reliability. The combined benefits of advanced trench IGBT technology and
optimized package design have enabled us to achieve higher efficiency and improved reliability, along with
minimized module system costs. Integrating discrete power semiconductors and drivers into one package
allows designers to reduce the time and effort spent on design. To meet the strong demand for small size and
higher power density, Infineon has developed a new family of highly integrated intelligent power modules that
contain nearly all of the semiconductor components required to drive electronically controlled variable-speed
electric motors.
This advanced IPM is a combination of Infineon’s newest low V
CE(ON)
trench IGBT technology optimized for the
best trade-off between conduction and switching losses, and the industry benchmark three-phase high voltage,
high-speed driver (3.3 V-compatible) in a fully isolated thermally enhanced package. A built-in high precision
temperature monitor and over-current protection feature, along with the short-circuit rated IGBTs and
integrated undervoltage lockout function, deliver a high level of protection and fail-safe operation. Using a dual
or single in-line package with full transfer molded structure resolves the isolation problem to the heat sink.
