iMOTION™ Integrated Motor Control Solutions Highly integrated products for the control of a variable speed drive (VSD)
iMOTION™ is a family of highly integrated products for the control of a variable speed drive
iMOTION™ ICs integrate all the control and analog interface functions required for sensor less field oriented control (FOC) of PM motors using DC link or leg shunt current measurements. In addition they feature Infineon’s patented and field proven motion control engine (MCE) that eliminates software coding from the motor control algorithm development process. Implementing a variable speed drive is reduced to configuring the MCE for the respective motor. Assisted by the powerful tool iMOTION™ Solution Designer (iSD) it is possible to have the motor up and running in less than an hour.
The iMOTION™ family consists of the iMOTION™ controllers, the iMOTION™ drivers and the iMOTION™ IPMs.
Solution Designer as new tool for iMOTION™ motor control solution
Integrated GUI-based iMOTIONTM tool to simplify the design of inverterized drives.
Our Developer Community is available 24x7 for you to connect and network with engineers across the globe. Get help from our support engineers, and expert members to solve your design challenges anytime, from anywhere, in any topic, and in your preferred language.
Aimed at offering customers the best fitting solution the iMOTION™ family offers several levels of hardware integration. In addition to the stand-alone MCE control IC Infineon is offering variants with an additional microcontroller.
The highest integration level is achieved in the IPM family members. The combination of the MCE together with the gate driver and a three phase full bridge results in a complete inverter system in one small PQFN package. By integrating both the required hardware and software to perform sensor less control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) they provide the highest energy efficient appliance motor system with the lowest system cost.

As variable speed motor control expands into areas where simple on/off motor control traditional reigned, Infineon provides a turnkey “No C-Code” variable speed development solution to quickly and easily design motor drive systems. This presentation highlights the technical features & benefits of the solution as well as describes how the straight forward development process works.
iMOTION™ ICs integrate hardware and software functionality required for controlling PMSM motors with field-oriented control (FOC) (with and without sensors). iMOTION™ products are based on Infineon’s patented, field-tested Motion Control Engine (MCE), which eliminates software coding from the development process. As a result, all users have to do to implement a variable speed drive is configure the MCE for the respective motor drive system.
