Infineon Technologies Launches CIPOS™ Tiny IM323-L6G New Intelligent Power Module

Infineon Technologies Launches New CIPOS™ Tiny IM323-L6G Intelligent Power Module to Maximize Efficiency and Design Flexibility

[Munich, Germany, May 10, 2022] Infineon Technologies AG has launched the new CIPOS Tiny IM323-L6G 600 V 15 A product, further expanding the product lineup of its CIPOS™ Tiny intelligent power module (IPM) series. This new IPM uses TRENCHSTOP™ RC-D2 IGBT power switching devices and advanced SOI gate drive technology to maximize efficiency and achieve higher reliability while minimizing the size and system cost. The integrated packaging of discrete power semiconductors and drivers allows designers to save time and effort on product design, thereby significantly accelerating the time to market. The module can be used in major household appliances, especially drivers for indoor air conditioners.

CIPOSTM Tiny IM323

The CIPOSTM Tiny IM323-L6G is optimized for three-phase inverters with power up to 1.2 kW and a switching frequency range of 1-20 kHz. The device uses advanced 600 V TRENCHSTOP™ RC-D2 IGBT technology, integrates diodes on the IGBT, and has a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 ºC. In addition, this new IPM is equipped with a rugged new C5 SOI gate driver that can calmly handle negative voltage spikes at the motor output, ensuring a short-circuit resistance of at least 3 µs, and improving self-protection capabilities and safety under faults. In the event of overcurrent and undervoltage conditions, the IPM prevents cross conduction and turns off all switches.

The IM323-L6G uses a robust 33 x 19 mm2 DIP package with pins and a built-in NTC thermistor, which provides high flexibility for structural design. The package it uses has better robustness, which also brings higher reliability. The module also uses the latest power switching devices and gate drive technology to achieve extremely outstanding performance. In addition, Infineon's own front-end and back-end factories are used for production, which also guarantees stable supply.

Availability

The IM323-L6G and the iMOTION™ Modular Application Design Kit MADK ​​are available for order now. By the end of 2022, the CIPOSTM Tiny IM323 product family will be further expanded with the addition of 6 A and 10 A models.
