EVAL-M1-IM818-A user guide
Modular application design kit (MADK) of IM818
IM818-XCC, IM818-MCC, IM818-LCC
About this document
Scope and purpose
This application note provides an overview of the evaluation board EVAL-M1-IM818-A including its main
features, key data, pin assignments and mechanical dimensions.
EVAL-M1-IM818-A is a complete evaluation board including a 3-phase CIPOS
™
Maxi Intelligent Power Module
(IPM) for motor drive application. In combination with control-boards equipped with the M1 20pin interface
connector, like EVAL-M1-101T, it features and demonstrates Infineon’s CIPOS
™
Maxi IPM technology for motor
drive.
The evaluation board EVAL-M1-IM818-A was developed to support customers during their first steps designing
applications with CIPOS
™
Maxi IPM. It includes IM818-SCC
，
IM818-MCC and IM818-LCC. They are focusing on
AC380V input, and 1~4.8 kW output application.
The default of CIPOS
™
Maxi IPM in this board is IM818-MCC which has 3-phase inverter with 1200 V
TRENCHSTOP
™
IGBTs and Emitter Controlled diodes are combined with an optimized 6-channel SOI gate
driver. It is optimized to industrial applications like Ventilation and Air Conditioning and motor drive.
All CIPOS
™
Maxi IPM IM818 series can directly replace the test on the board.
Intended audience
This user guide is intended for all technical specialists who know motor control, middle- and low-power
electronics converters. The board is intended to be used under laboratory conditions.
Evaluation Board
This board will be used during design in, for evaluation and measurement of characteristics, and proof of data
sheet specifications.
Note:
PCB and auxiliary circuits are NOT optimized for final customer design.
