USING INTELLIGENT POWER MODULES
The third generation IPM has been optimized for minimum switching losses in or- der to meet industry demands for acoustically noiseless inverters with carrier frequencies up to 20kHz.
As an example of one of the most widely used IPMs, shown below are the block diagram and packages of an IGBT IPM inverter, combining six IGBTs and three-phase gate drivers. In this example, bootstrapping diodes to drive the high side N-channel IGBTs as well as fast recovery diodes for regeneration are also incorporated.
Here's the short answer: “Power module” refers to the presence of a power switching component (usually an IGBT), and the module is “intelligent” because it includes additional control and protection circuitry. The goal is to optimize performance and make the overall solution easier to design and implement.
Traditional power modules require discrete gate drivers, introducing parasitic inductance and mismatched timing. IPMs use multilayer substrates (e.g., DBC ceramics) with optimized layout geometry to minimize parasitic inductance in power loops.
The IPM ensures that electricity from the Power Puck is the primary power source for the transmitter. It supplements the Power Puck with additional power from the IPM's batteries only when required.
