STEVAL-IPM15B, DEVELOPMENT BOARDS & EVALUATION KITS

Compact motor drive power board based on the SLLIMM™ (small low-loss intelligent moulded module) 2nd series module STGIB15CH60TS-L. It provides an affordable, easy-to-use solution for driving high power motors for a wide range of applications such as white goods, air conditioners, compressors, power fans, high end power tools and generally 3-phase inverters for motor drives. The IPM itself consists of short circuit rugged IGBTs and a wide range of features including undervoltage lockout, smart shutdown, temperature sensing and NTC inside and overcurrent protection. The main characteristics of this evaluation board are its small size, minimal BOM and high efficiency. It consists of an interface circuit (BUS and Vcc connectors), bootstrap capacitors, snubber capacitor, hardware short-circuit protection, fault event signal and temperature monitoring. A hall/encoder part completes the circuit.
