Design Platform Combines Ready-To-Use Motor Control Algorithm With Application-Oriented Enhancements

by Ingo Skuras, Infineon Technologies, Munich, Germany, How2Power Today, Dec 13 2019

Focus:
This widening of the application scope for variable speed drives (VSDs) has driven Infineon to adopt a new approach in iMOTION, the company’s family of integrated solutions for the control of variable speed drives. These products integrate a production-grade control algorithm for the motor, and an optional power-factor correction (PFC) control algorithm along with all required hardware functions. This article describes why and how the hardware and software were changed to address the new application requirements, and how the new features and architectural changes in iMOTION 2.0 enable higher performance, reduce bills of materials and enhance design flexibility in the applications. A hair dryer design example illustrates how these new features are put to use in one of the newer applications for VSDs.

What you’ll learn:

• How to understand the benefits offered by new features and architectural changes in the iMOTION motor controllers
