The internal circuit of the new IPM is composed of inverter stage and PFC stage. The three-phase inverter stage has six 600V rated Infineon TRENCHSTOP™ IGBTs and six Emitter Controlled Diodes together with one SOI gate driver IC which provides integrated bootstrap circuit and thermistor for temperature monitoring. The PFC stage consists of a 650V rated TRENCHSTOP IGBT and a Rapid Switching Emitter Controlled Diode which has fast and soft switching characteristics.
