Increasing the efficiency of an IPM-based drive design with Vincotech’s new flowIPM-1B module

October 28, 2011

October 28th 2011 – The ubiquitous Intelligent Power Module, aka IPM, has been a mainstay in motor speed control designs. And with good reason: Such designs are relatively easy and cheap to implement. With onboard gate drivers, protection, and a six pack IGBT array integrated, it takes very little engineering effort to quickly come up with an effective design. Utilizing a stamped lead frame, plastic package, and high-volume components, and given an automated production line, the IPM has all the ingredients necessary to manufacture a low-cost component solution.

However, standard IPMs are not the panacea they would … Read More → "Increasing the efficiency of an IPM-based drive design with Vincotech’s new flowIPM-1B module"
