Two turnkey solutions for low-power compressors
D11T_MOS board, ready to use
Includes driver and superjunction MOSFET


Infineon Technologies announced today the release of two reference boards for rotary refrigerator compressors. These boards, which are turnkey solutions for low-power compressors, enable customers to quickly and easily develop final production application boards.

The reference board design has undergone system testing, enabling developers to significantly reduce their own system development time. The 'REF_Fridge_D11T_MOS' board is a ready-to-use 3-phase inverter that includes the 'IMD111T-6F040' iMOTION™ smart driver and the 'IPN60R1K0PFD7S' 600V CoolMOS™ PFD7 superjunction MOSFET.

The board provides a convenient power stage based on the iMOTION smart driver, combining a ready-to-use FOC motor control algorithm and a 600V phase gate driver in an LQFP-40 package. Discrete CoolMOS superjunction MOSFETs feature low Qrr, ESD protection, and a compact SOT-223 SMD package. The board can be easily interfaced with iMOTION Link and features a compact design and high light-load efficiency.

Another reference design, the 'REF_Fridge_C101T_IM231,' is ideal for customers seeking greater integration and a smaller footprint. It combines the 'IMC101T-T038' iMOTION digital motor control IC with a 6A, 600V IGBT-based, three-phase CIPOS™ Micro intelligent power module. This combination provides a fully featured, compact inverter solution for low-power motor drive applications, reducing bill of materials (BOM) and PCB size while improving reliability.
