300 W motor control power board based on STIPQ3M60T-H SLLIMM™-nano 2nd
series MOSFET IPM
Introduction
The STEV
module) 2nd series based on N-channel Power MOSFET MDmesh™ DM2 fast-recovery diode (STIPQ3M60T-HL). It provides
an affordable and easy-to-use solution for driving high power motors in a wide range of applications such as power white goods,
air conditioning, compressors, power fans and 3-phase inverters for motor drives in general.
The IPM itself consists of six MOSFETs, three high voltage half-bridge gate driver ICs and a wide range of features like
undervoltage lockout, smart shutdown, internal temperature sensor and NTC, overcurrent protection and internal op-amp.
The main characteristics of this evaluation board are small size, minimal BOM and high efficiency. It features an interface
circuit (BUS and VCC connectors), bootstrap capacitors, snubber capacitor, hardware short-circuit protection, fault event signal
and temperature monitoring. It is designed to work in single- or three-shunt configuration and with triple current sensing
options: three dedicated on-board op-amps, op-amps embedded on MCU or single internal IPM op-amp. The Hall/Encoder part
completes the circuit.
The system is designed to achieve accurate and fast conditioning of current feedback to satisfy the typical requirements for field
oriented control (FOC).
The STEVAL-IPMNM3Q is compatible with ST’s control board based on STM32, providing a complete platform for motor
control.
AL-IPMNM3Q is a compact motor drive power board equipped with SLLIMM-nano (small low-loss intelligent molded

2Circuit schematics
The full schematics for the SLLIMM-nano card for STIPQ3M60T-H IPM products is shown below. This card
consists of an interface circuit (BUS and VCC connectors), bootstrap capacitors, snubber capacitor
protection, fault output circuit, temperature monitoring, single-/three-shunt resistors and filters for input signals. It
also includes bypass capacitors for VCC and bootstrap capacitors. The capacitors are located very close to the
drive IC to avoid malfunction due to noise.
Three current sensing options are provided: three dedicated onboard op-amps, one internal IPM op-amp and the
embedded MCU op-amps; selection is performed through three jumpers.
The Hall/Encoder section (powered at 5 V or 3.3 V) completes the circuit.
The board is designed for a 125 VDC to 400 VDC supply voltage.
An appropriate bulk capacitor for the power level of the application must be mounted at the dedicated position on
the board.
The SLLIMM-nano integrates six MOSFET switches and high voltage gate drivers. Thanks to this integrated
module, the system of
increases reliability.
The board offers the added flexibility of being able to operate in single- or three-shunt configuration by modifying
solder bridge jumper settings (see Section 4.3.4 Single- or three-shunt selection).

Filters and key parameters
4Filters and key parameters
4.1Input signals
The input signals (LINx and HINx) to drive the internal MOSFETs are active high. A 375 kΩ (typ.) pull-down
resistor is built-in for each input signal. T
close as possible to the IPM. The filter is designed using a time constant of 10 ns (1 kΩ and 10 pF).
4.2Bootstrap capacitor
In the 3-phase inverter, the emitters of the low side MOSFETs are connected to the negative DC bus (VDC-)
as common reference ground, which allows all low side gate drivers to share the same power supply, while the
emitter of the high side MOSFETs is alternatively connected to the positive (VDC+) and negative (VDC-) DC bus
during running conditions.
A bootstrap method is a simple and cheap solution to supply the high voltage section. This function is normally
accomplished by a high voltage fast recovery diode. The SLLIMM-nano MOSFET-based family includes a
patented integrated structure that replaces the external diode with a high voltage DMOS functioning as a diode
with series resistor. An internal charge pump provides the DMOS driving voltage.
The value of the CBOOT capacitor should be calculated according to the application requirements.
Figure 9. CBOOT graph selection shows the behavior of CBOOT (calculated) versus switching frequency (fsw),
with different values of ΔVCBOOT for a continuous sinusoidal modulation and a duty cycle δ = 50%.
Note:This curve is taken from application note AN5244 (available on www.st.com); calculations are based on the
STIPN2M50x-Hy device, which represents the worst case scenario for this kind of calculation.
The boot capacitor must be two or three times larger than the C
For this design, a value of 2.2 μF was selected.
o prevent input signal oscillation, an RC filter is added on each input as
calculated in the graph.

4.3Overcurrent protection
The SLLIMM-nano MOSFET-based integrates a comparator for fault sensing purposes. The comparator has an
internal voltage reference VREF (540 mV typ.) connected to the inverting input, while the non-inverting input on
the CIN pin can be connected to an external shunt resistor to implement the overcurrent protection function.
When the comparator triggers, the device enters the shutdown state.
The comparator output is connected to the SD pin in order to send the fault message to the MCU.
