The board at a glance

1 The board at a glance
The EVAL-M1-IM523 evaluation power board is part of the iMOTION™ modular application design kit for motor
drives (iMOTION™ MADK). The MADK platform is intended to be used with various power stages and different
control boards. The EVAL-M1-IM523 can be easily connected to a control board such as the EVAL-M1-101T
through the 20-pin iMOTION™ MADK M1 connector. The EVAL-M1-101T control board is designed to control a
single motor.
The EVAL-M1-IM523 is available through regular Infineon distribution partners and through Infineon's website.
This user guide details the features of the evaluation board (Section 1.3 ) and provides information on how
customers can copy, modify, and qualify the design for production according to their specific requirements.
Environmental conditions were considered in the design of the EVAL-M1-IM523, but the evaluation board is not
qualified, in terms of safety requirements, for manufacturing and operation over the entire operating
temperature range or lifetime. The boards provided by Infineon are subjected to functional testing only.
The 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 by technical specialists only.

Scope of supply

The EVAL-M1-IM523 evaluation board is designed to provide an easy-to-use power stage based on Infineon's
CIPOS™ Mini intelligent power module (IPM) IM523-X6A.
The delivery includes the finished evaluation board as shown in Figure 1. It provides a single-phase AC-input
connector, an EMI filter, an input rectifier, DC bus capacitors, and a 3-phase output to connect the motor. It also
contains:
1. A CoolSET based auxiliary power supply to provide output of 15 V and 5.0 V
TM
2. Emitter shunts for current sensing and overcurrent protection
3. A voltage divider for DC-link voltage measurement
The evaluation board shown in Figure 1 can be operated directly with the required power supply without
additional components.
