IMC300 Series

概要

iMOTION™ IMC300 - Motor/PFC controller plus MCU for maximum flexibility

iMOTION™ IMC300 is a series of motor control ICs combining the feature set of the IMC100 series with an additional microcontroller for maximum application flexibility.

By incorporating the Motion Control Engine (MCE 2.0) the IMC300 series provides the same feature set as the IMC100 series in terms of motor control algorithm, power factor correction and protection features. In addition to the scripting engine integrated in the MCE 2.0 the IMC300 series comes with an additional microcontroller (MCU). While being connected to the control interface of the MCE, this MCU runs completely independent offering the customer maximum flexibility for adding functionality and controlling the MCE.

IMC300 - Maximum Flexibility for almost any Application

Powerful tools like MCEWizard and MCEDesigner reduce the implementation effort for a variable speed drive to the simple configuration of the MCE for the respective motor.

In the IMC300 dual core implementation the MCE runs fully independently from the microcontroller providing the optimal combination of easy to use and reliable motor control with a maximum of customer application flexibility. The MCE in the IMC300 series can control the motor running either sensorless or with sensor support like analog or digital hall sensors and is available with ready-to-use algorithms for boost and totem pole PFC implementations. IMC300 device variants are available for standalone motor control as well as motor control plus PFC and come in an LQFP-48 or LQFP-64 package. All devices can be used in applications requiring functional safety acc. to UL/IEC 60730 (‘Class B’).

Key benefits

Highly flexible combination of ready-to-use motor and PFC control with an industry standard microcontroller

Outstanding customer benefits:

Ready-to-use motor control iMOTION™ Motion Control Engine Integrated protection features Arm® Cortex®-M0 based MCU
  • No programming required
  • Easy motor parametrization
  • Fully autonomous operation
  • Single or leg shunt
  • Sensorless operation with  optional hall support
  • Boost or totem pole PFC
  • Support for IEC 60730 (‘Class B’) 
  • Over-/under voltage, -current,  -temperature, etc. 
  • Industry standard core with flexible peripherals and communication interfaces
  • Use of Arm ecosystem 

Both cores in the IMC300 series run autonomously and provide dedicated interfaces to the PC. The MCE which runs the motor and PFC can be connected to the PC via a UART, applying MCEDesigner for configuring and tuning the motor and PFC control loop. Connection to the microcontroller is provided via Arm’s serial wire debug (SWD). Writing, downloading and debugging code on the MCU does not interfere with the operation of the MCE and allows single step debug with the motor running. The MCU connects to the MCE via a high-speed serial link. Infineon provides a ready-to-use library for the MCU that implements the communication protocol to configure and control the MCE as well as report the status of the drive.

Perfect Motor Startup with iMOTION™ 2.0

7:46

State of the art sensorless algorithm for permanent magnet motor control is described in this video. Common pitfalls of sensorless control, such as a non-controlled startup are easily avoided with the Motion Control Engine (MCE) inside infineon iMOTION devices. A clean startup, without vibrations and oscillations is demonstrated with a low inertia fan motor.

iMOTION™ - flexible, scalable motor control platform

3:11

iMOTION™ ICs integrate hardware and software functionality required for controlling PMSM motors with field-oriented control (FOC) (with and without sensors). iMOTION™ products are based on Infineon’s patented, field-tested Motion Control Engine (MCE), which eliminates software coding from the development process. As a result, all users have to do to implement a variable speed drive is configure the MCE for the respective motor drive system.
