About

Highly integrated products for the control of a variable speed drive

iMOTION™ ICs integrate all the control and analog interface functions required for sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) of PM motors using DC link or leg shunt current measurements. In addition, they feature Infineon’s patented and field-proven motion control engine (MCE) that eliminates software coding from the motor-control algorithm-development process. Implementing a variable speed drive is reduced to configuring the MCE for the respective motor. Assisted by the powerful tool iMOTION™ Solution Designer (iSD), it is possible to have the motor up and running in less than an hour. 

The iMOTION™ family consists of the iMOTION™ controllers, the iMOTION™ drivers, and the iMOTION™ IPMs.

The iMOTION™ family offers several levels of hardware integration

Aimed at offering customers the best fitting solution, the iMOTION™ family offers several levels of hardware integration. In addition to the stand-alone MCE control IC, Infineon offers variants with an additional microcontroller.

The highest integration level is achieved in the IPM family members. The combination of the MCE together with the gate driver and a three-phase full-bridge results in a complete inverter system in one small PQFN package. By integrating both the required hardware and software to perform sensorless control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) they provide the highest energy efficient appliance motor system with the lowest system cost.

From novice to expert with iMOTION™

Our "From novice to expert with iMOTION™" guide provides a structured, sequential approach to learning iMOTION™. It will serve as a syllabus listing resources available at each stage of working with iMOTION™ products. The document begins with highlights of iMOTION™ products and their features. Resources around evaluating the products and prototyping your system with iMOTION™ follow. The next stage describes the iMOTION™ tools and the final one lists resources describing advanced usage of iMOTION™.
