About this document

Scope and purpose
This user guide provides an overview of the evaluation board EVAL-M1-IM241 including its main features, key
data, pin assignments and mechanical dimensions.
The EVAL-M1-IM241 is an evaluation board for motor drive applications, as part of the iMOTION™ modular
application design kit. In combination with the control board equipped with the M1 20-pin interface connector
such as EVAL-M1-101T, it features and demonstrates Infineon's CIPOS™ Micro IPM technology and advanced
motion control engine (MCE 2.0) technology for permanent magnet motors drive.
The IM241-L6T2B CIPOS™ Micro IPM has 600 V of voltage and 6 A of current rating. It is optimized for small home
appliances like pumps, fans and other low power motor drive applications.
This evaluation board EVAL-M1-IM241 is developed to support customers during their first steps designing
applications with CIPOS™ Micro IPM IM241-L6T2B and running any permanent magnet motor via sensorless
sinusoidal control.
Intended audience
This user guide is intended for all technical specialists who know motor control, low-power electronics
converters. The board is intended to be used under laboratory conditions.
Evaluation Board
This board will be used during design in, for evaluation and measurement of characteristics, and proof of data
sheet specifications.
Note:
PCB and auxiliary circuits are not optimized for final customer design.
