Infineon EVAL-M1-36-45A iMOTION Modular Application Design Kit User Manual

User manual for the EVAL-M1-36-45A evaluation board, a 3-phase motor drive power stage featuring the IRSM836-045MA CIPOS Nano IPM for motor applications up to 85W.

View application note

Overview

The EVAL-M1-36-45A is a power stage evaluation board for the iMOTION™ Modular Application Design Kit (MADK). It features the IRSM836-045MA CIPOS™ Nano Intelligent Power Module (IPM), which integrates a 3-phase inverter with 500V Trench FREDFETs and high-voltage gate drivers. Designed for sensorless field-oriented control (FOC), the board supports motor power up to 85W without an external heatsink. Key hardware includes emitter-shunts for three-phase current sensing, a DC-link voltage divider, and an auxiliary power supply. It is compatible with iMOTION™ control boards such as the EVAL-M1-101T using the 20-pin MADK-M1 interface connector. The document provides technical specifications, schematics, PCB layout details, and a full Bill of Materials featuring components like the IMC101T-T038 controller and LM393ADR comparator.

Use Cases

  • Small appliance motor control development
  • Sensorless FOC motor drive evaluation
  • Prototyping for 220V AC input motor systems
  • Evaluation of CIPOS Nano IPM technology
  • Industrial fan and pump motor drives
