IM393 IPM Technical Description
Introduction
5.2Fault output and auto-clear function ................................................................................................... 27
With the global emphasis on energy efficiency, there are ever stricter requirements on the efficiency of motor
drive circuits. CIPOS™ Integrated Power Modules (IPMs) are becoming more popular in the home appliance and
industrial motor-drive applications, because of their higher efficiency, smaller size, easier assembly and shorter
development time.
The next generation of CIPOS™ IPM from Infineon Technologies has been developed with a focus on improving
module efficiency and long-term reliability. The combined benefits of advanced trench IGBT technology and
optimized package design have enabled us to achieve higher efficiency and improved reliability, along with
minimized module system costs. Integrating discrete power semiconductors and drivers into one package
allows designers to reduce the time and effort spent on design. To meet the strong demand for small size and
higher power density, Infineon has developed a new family of highly integrated intelligent power modules that
contain nearly all of the semiconductor components required to drive electronically controlled variable-speed
electric motors.
This advanced IPM is a combination of Infineon’s newest low V
best trade-off between conduction and switching losses, and the industry benchmark three-phase high voltage,
high-speed driver (3.3 V-compatible) in a fully isolated thermally enhanced package. A built-in high precision
temperature monitor and over-current protection feature, along with the short-circuit rated IGBTs and
integrated undervoltage lockout function, deliver a high level of protection and fail-safe operation. Using a dual
or single in-line package with full transfer molded structure resolves the isolation problem to the heat sink.

2.1Power transistor and diode technology
IM393-XX IPM products are based on new Infineon IGBT6 TRENCHSTOP™ technology [1]. This new IGBT
generation is based on trench and field-stop technology, and offers significant improvements in terms of loss
reduction. It features the well-known properties of robustness of Infineon’s IGBT, including short-circuitwithstand capability and maximum-junction temperature. Moreover, all the advantages of this technology are
maintained in order to achieve the highest efficiency and power density. The features include very low static
parameters such as the saturation voltage of the IGBT or the forward voltage of the diode. Excellent dynamic
parameters such as turn-off energy of the IGBT or the reverse-recovery charge of the diode are also valuable
features. The forward diodes are ultrafast with very soft recovery characteristics that lead to a reduction in
reverse-recovery and turn-on energy losses.
2.2Control IC – Six-channel gate driver IC
The driver is a high-voltage, high-speed IGBT gate driver with three high-side and three low-side referenced
output channels for three-phase applications. The IC is designed to be used with low-cost bootstrap power
supplies. The bootstrap diode functionality has been integrated into this device to reduce the component
count on the PCB. Proprietary HVIC and latch-up immune CMOS technologies have been implemented in a
rugged monolithic structure. The floating logic input is compatible with standard CMOS and LSTTL output
(down to 3.3 V logic). A current-trip function which terminates all six outputs can be done by an external current
sense resistor. Enable functionality is available to terminate all six outputs simultaneously. An open-drain
FAULT signal is provided to indicate that a fault has occurred. Fault conditions are cleared automatically after a
delay programmed externally via an RC network connected to the RCIN input. The output drivers feature a
high-pulse current buffer stage designed for minimum driver cross conduction. Shoot-through protection
circuitry and a minimum dead-time circuitry have been integrated into this IC. Propagation delays are matched
to simplify the HVIC’s use in high-frequency applications.
The HVIC technology uses proprietary monolithic structures integrating bipolar, CMOS and lateral DMOS
devices [2]. Using this mixed-signal HVIC technology, both high-voltage, level-shifting circuits, and low-voltage
analog and digital circuits can be implemented. This technology places high-voltage circuits in a ‘well’ formed
by polysilicon rings which can float 600 V within the same silicon, away from the low-voltage circuitry, as shown
in Figure 1.
These HVIC gate drivers with floating switches are well-suited for topologies requiring high-side and bridge
configuration.

2.3Thermistor
All IM393-XX IPMs have internal thermistors to sense the module temperature. Figure 2 shows the correlation
between NTC temperature (TTH) and the thermistor output voltage which can be used to set the threshold for
over-temperature protection.
Table 2Raw data of the thermistor used in IM393-XX
Thermistor temperature (or voltage reading) can then be linked to the IGBT junction temperature. The VTH can
be used as a microcontroller input to monitor IGBT junction temperature during operation.

2.4Package technology
IM393-XX offers the smallest size while providing high-power density up to 600 V and 20 A by employing
TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT and emitter-controlled diodes with a six-channel gate drive IC. It contains all power
components such as IGBTs, and isolates them from each other and from the heat sink. All low-power
components such as the gate drive IC and thermistor are assembled on a lead frame.
The electric insulation is provided by the mold compound, which is simultaneously the thermal contact to the
heat sink. In order to further decrease the thermal impedance, the internal lead-frame design has been
optimized [3]. Figure 3 shows the external view of the IM393-XX package.

3.1Internal circuit and features
Figure 3 illustrates the internal block diagram of the IM393-XX. It consists of a three-phase IGBT inverter circuit
and a driver IC with control functions. The detailed features and integrated functions of IM393-XX are described
as follows:
• These are pins to control the operation of the internal IGBTs.
• They are activated by voltage input signals. The terminals are internally connected to a Schmitt trigger circuit
composed of 5 V-class CMOS.
• The signal logic of these pins is active-high. The IGBT associated with each of these pins will be turned ON
when a sufficient logic voltage is applied to these pins.
• The wiring of each input should be as short as possible to protect the IM393-XX against noise influences.
• To prevent signal oscillations, an RC coupling is recommended as illustrated in Figure 4.1.
Over-current detection pin
Pin: ITRIP
• The current-sensing shunt resistor should be connected between the pin N (emitter of low-side IGBT) and the
power ground to detect short-circuit current (refer to Figure 4.3). An RC filter should be connected between
the shunt resistor and the pin ITRIP to eliminate noise.
• The integrated comparator is triggered if the voltage V
selected to meet this level for the specific application. In case of a trigger event, the voltage at pin RFE is pulled
down to LOW.
• The connection length between the shunt resistor and ITRIP pin should be minimized.

smoothing filter capacitor close to this pin. (Typically metal film capacitors are used.)
Negative DC-link pins
