iMOTION™ Integrated Power Module (IPM) Fully integrated power modules for BLDC motor control
Motor controller IC and a three-phase inverter stage in a single package
IPM is a family of fully integrated modules for the control of three-phase motors, optimized for low-power devices. Within the iMOTION™ IPM family, there are two different series: The IMM100 and IMI110, which combine the motor controller IC and a three-phase inverter stage in a single package, minimizing external components count and PCB area. The three-phase inverter stage is based either on six MOSFETs or six IGBTs. These iMOTION™ IPMs offer the highest integration level by making use of the field-proven iMOTION™.
Motion Control Engine (MCE) in combination with providing all required hardware functions: From single shunt current sensing to bootstrap capability, signal filtering and several hardware protections like dead-time insertion and shoot through prevention. An iMOTION™ IPM does not require a heatsink and addresses motor drives with a typical application input power between 70 W and 80W with 600 V maximum DC blocking voltage, depending on the chosen product variant.
All IMI110 and IMM100 devices support the functional safety requirements according to the IEC/UL 60730 ("class B").
