Based on µIPM™ and providing 100V/20A and 40V/6A power output

Infineon Technologies (Korea Representative Director Lee Seung-soo) has announced the addition of two power boards to its iMOTION™ Modular Application Design Kits (MADK) product line.

With the addition of two newly launched half-bridge boards, a compact and flexible evaluation system has been completed, providing an expandable design platform for 20W to 300W three-phase motor drive applications. This MADK is suitable for industrial and consumer appliances such as pumps, fans, and air conditioners, and also meets the requirements of battery-powered applications. Using this kit, motor systems can be operated within one hour, thereby reducing product time-to-market.

The newly launched power boards are based on Infineon's µIPM™ and provide 100V/20A and 40V/6A power output.

They feature overcurrent/undervoltage lockout protection and fault output, as well as onboard power supplies of 15V and 3.3V respectively. Additionally, since no heat sink is required, developers can optimize PCB copper area to improve thermal performance. By combining the power board with either the XMC1302 or IRMCK099 control card, motors can be driven in just a few steps. Simply connect these cards to a PC, motor, and grid-voltage power supply, download and install the software, and configure the parameters.

FOC (field oriented control) software supports sensorless motor control based on the XMC1302 microcontroller. The XMC1302 control card includes a debugger based on Segger J-Link technology. Additionally, software support for this tool provides an easy-to-use µC-Probe-based GUI.

Further application software development can be accomplished using Infineon's free integrated development environment (IDE) DAVE™ or major ARM® IDEs such as Keil, IAR, and Atollic. The IRMCK099-based control card, which integrates MCE-tool 2.0 for debugging, employs the proven Motor Control Engine (MCE) technology protected by former IR (International Rectifier) patents.
