Infineon Technologies has launched a 600V, 15A intelligent power module (IPM) for home appliances, with a focus on drives for room air conditioners.
The CIPOS Tiny IM323-L6G module is based on TRENCHSTOP IGBT RC-D2 transistors with built in diode and an SOI gate driver technology to boost the efficiency and reliability while reducing system size and cost.
The module is optimized for 3-phase inverters up to 1.2 kW and an operating range of 1 to 20 kHz. The rugged new C5SOI gate driver technology for negative voltage spikes at the motor outputs with an operating range of 1 to 20 kHz. The transistors have a maximum junction temperature of 175 ºC and the module ensures a short-circuit capability of at least 3 µs with a high level of protection and fail-safe operation. In case of overcurrent and under voltage, the IPM provides cross-conduction prevention and turn-off of all switches.
The IM323-L6G is molded in a pin-compatible 33 x 19 mm 2 DIP package with built-in NTC which allows high flexibility of the mechanical system design. Full in-house production for front-end and back-end provides supply security.
The IM323-L6G and iMOTION Modular Application Design Kit MADK can be ordered now. By the end of 2022, the CIPOS Tiny IM323 product range is planned to be expanded to include variants with 6 A and 10 A.
