Board description UM0969 Six-step (block commutation) current reading configuration In the case of six-step (also called block commutation) current control, only two motor phases conduct current at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to use only one shunt resistor. Moreover, as the current flows always in the same direction, only a positive value has to be measured.

Power losses and dissipation UM0969 Power losses and dissipation The power dissipation of the IPM, during normal working, is due to the conduction and switching losses of IGBTs and diodes. The losses during the turn-off steady-state can be ignored, because of their very small amount, and because of the minor effect of increasing the temperature in the device.
