The EVAL-M1-IM818-A evaluation board is a part of the iMOTION™ Modular Application Design Kit for drives
(iMOTION™ MADK).
The MADK platform is intended to use various power stages with different control boards. These boards can
easily be interfaced through the iMOTION™ MADK M1 interface connector which is 20-pin connector.
This evaluation board is designed to give easy-to-use power stage based on the Infineon's CIPOS™ Maxi
Intelligent Power Module (IPM). The board is equipped with all assembly circuit for sensorless field-oriented
control (FOC). It provides a single-phase AC-connector, rectifier and 3-phase output for connecting the motor.
The power stage also contains emitter (leg) shunts for current sensing and a voltage divider for DC-link voltage
measurement.
The EVAL-M1-IM818-A evaluation board is available through regular Infineon distribution partners as well as on
Infineon's website. The features of this board are described in the design feature chapter of this document,
whereas the remaining paragraphs provide information to enable the customers to copy, modify and qualify
the design for production according to their own specific requirements.
Figure 1 EVAL-M1-IM818-A
Environmental conditions were considered in the design of the EVAL-M1-IM818-A. The design was tested as
described in this document (AN2018-35) but not qualified regarding safety requirements or manufacturing and
operation over the whole operating temperature range or lifetime. The boards provided by Infineon are subject
to functional testing only.
Evaluation boards are not subject to the same procedures as regular products regarding Returned Material
Analysis (RMA), Process Change Notification (PCN) and Product Discontinuation (PD). Evaluation boards are
intended to be used under laboratory conditions and by trained specialists only.
