Infineon Technologies CIPOS™ Nano Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs)
Infineon CIPOS™ Nano Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) are a family of highly integrated power modules for high-efficiency consumer and light industrial applications. With half-bridge and three-phase configurations, CIPOS Nano is designed for the rectifier, converter, and inverter stage in power management circuits and motor drives. These applications include fans, hairdryers, air purifiers, and circulation pumps. These devices implement an innovative Power QFN package, which utilizes PCB copper traces to dissipate heat from the module. The CIPOS Nano family delivers a new benchmark in device size, offering up to a 60% smaller footprint than existing three-phase motor control power IPMs. CIPOS Nano family also offers fully integrated Smart IPMs, which combine the industry-leading iMOTION™ MCE 2.0 (Motor Control Engine) and the 3-phase inverter in a highly compact 12x12mm2 package.
