Infineon Technologies Launches High-Performance CIPOS™ Maxi Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) IM818-LCC

Infineon Technologies launches high-performance CIPOS™ Maxi Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) IM818-LCC,

For industrial drives and HVAC applications up to 3.0 kW

Recently, Infineon Technologies AG launched a 1200 V 15 A integrated power module (IPM) in a transfer mold package. The CIPOS™ Maxi IPM IM818-LCC is a new product in the existing IM818 series, integrating an optimized 6-channel 1200V SOI gate driver and 6 TRECHSTOP™ IGBTs to improve system reliability and optimize PCB size and system cost. The IM818-LCC breaks new ground in power density levels, providing a rated power of up to 3.0 kW at 1200 V 15A.

The IPM package is DIP 36x23D. This makes it the smallest 1200V IPM package with the highest power density and best performance in its class. The IM818 series provides a full-featured, compact, and thermally conductive inverter solution. It is particularly suitable for low-power motor drive applications such as fans, pumps, and outdoor blowers for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.

The IM818 series provides an isolated dual in-line transfer mold package with excellent thermal performance and electrical isolation. It meets the demanding design needs of electromagnetic interference requirements and overload protection. The IM818 series integrates a rugged 6-channel SOI gate driver that provides built-in dead time to prevent transient damage.

It features undervoltage lockout and overcurrent shutdown protection for all channels. With its multi-function pins, this IPM offers high design flexibility for different uses. In addition to the protection functions, the IPM is also equipped with an independent UL certified temperature thermistor. The emitter pin can be used for all phase current monitoring, making the application system easy to control.

Availability

The CIPOS Maxi IM818 series is available now for ordering. The available CIPOS Maxi IM818 series includes 5 A, 10 A and 15 A with power ratings up to 3.0 kW. For more information, please visit www.infineon.com/IPM.
