Introduction
The REF-Vacuum-C101-2ED is part of the iMOTION™ reference design kits. It is designed to provide ready-to-
use, low-voltage and high-speed vacuum solutions based on Infineon’s thin-film SOI technology and advanced
motion control engine (MCE 2.0) technology. It allows fast prototyping and fast time to market. The board is
equipped with all assembly groups for sensorless field-oriented control (FOC), and reserved interface for three
digital Hall sensors, so that it can be extended to other low-voltage and high-current motor applications.
The block diagram of the REF-Vacuum-C101-2ED is depicted in Figure 1, which contains iMOTION™ controller
IMC101T, 3 mOhm 40 V OptiMOS
TM
, and 2ED2304S06F half-bridge gate driver with integrated bootstrap diode.
This reference design includes:
-
Gate driver IC for MOSFET
-
Anti-reverse connection protection
-
12 V & 3.3 V auxiliary power supply
-
VSP speed command potentiometer
-
Over temperature and overcurrent protection
-
Turnkey version sensor less & sensor FOC control

The REF-Vacuum-C101-2ED reference design is available through regular Infineon distribution partners as well
as on Infineon's website. The main features of this board are described in this document, whereas the
remaining paragraphs provide information to enable the customers to copy, modify and qualify the design for
production according to their own specific requirements.
An 18 V, 250 W vacuum motor is used for the default DEMO function, whose maximum speed is 100 kRPM.
Please note that motor parameters need to be double-checked in MCEWizard if a different motor is used.
