Description
The goal of the STEVAL-IHM028V2 product evaluation board is to present a universal, fully tested and populated design consisting of a 3phase inverter bridge based on the 600 V, 17 A intelligent power module STGIPS20C60. The IPM itself consists of short-circuit rugged IGBTs with negative temperature co-efficiency. It also contains a wide range of auxiliary functions like undervoltage lockout and smart shutdown. Thanks to these advanced characteristics, the system has been specifically designed to achieve accurate and fast conditioning of the current feedback, matching the typical requirements for field oriented control (FOC). This board can be used to evaluate a wide range of applications such as HVAC (air conditioners), power white goods and high-end single-phase power tools.
