Infineon launches 22kW industrial
general-purpose motor drive reference design
significantly reducing time-to-market. Pre-tested


Infineon Technologies has launched a pre-tested industrial reference design that significantly reduces time-to-market. The design is a general-purpose motor drive that delivers rated power of 22kW and can operate directly from a 380~480V three-phase grid.

The reference design, suitable for pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyor belts, is fully reusable and allows evaluation of Infineon products under actual operating conditions.

The new reference design combines Infineon's latest technologies in a single system.

This includes the EasyPIM™ 3B IGBT7 module 'FP100R12W3T7_B11' for high current and high power density, the EiceDRIVER™ compact gate driver IC '1ED3131MC12H' that achieves optimal EMI performance and low power loss, and the XENSIV™ current sensor 'TLI4971-A120T5' that measures high current with minimum power loss.

The CoolSiC™ MOSFET 'IMBF170R1K0M1' with 1700V blocking voltage serves as the auxiliary power supply. The system also includes two microcontrollers, the 'XMC4800' for control and 'XMC4300' for communication, with motor control software packages pre-installed. This combination allows evaluation of products in a single design and determination of interactions between products.

To implement a modular approach, the system can be equipped with a 3D-printed housing option that encases all electronic components and the cooling system. This housing includes a touchscreen displaying current operating conditions and EtherCAT and USB interfaces for external connectivity.

The reference design 'REF-22K-GPD-INV-EASY3B' is now available for order. More detailed information and the complete design package are available on the homepage.
