Description of electrical parts
This chapter describes the different electrical parts like the input signals, output signals and
driver circuit for better understanding how the board works.
In this module a 1~ rectifier is used to convert the voltage from AC to DC. The PFC MOSFET
with gate driver makes a Power Factor Correction, so the UDC1+ voltage and the rectified
current have got same phase shift. Six IGBTs with free-wheeling diodes are implemented for
the conversion from DC to AC with variable frequency. There is no braking chopper on the
board; therefore the modules cannot be used for braking operation.
The power requirement of P95x kit is a very basic, 1~ AC 110 V – 230 V. For the internal
power supply for drivers and measure circuit a compact AC/DC converter is implemented.
Please refer to the P95x-A45 datasheet for more information about the power module:
http://www.vincotech.com/products/by-topologies.html > IPM
For measurement of the heatsink temperature an NTC is equipped.

3.1
Input filter and rectification
The input AC voltage rectification is implemented by bridge. The single phase AC input is
connected to F2 which includes one stage EMC filter and the second stage (I1, C4) is added on
board. An NTC is limiting the inrush current at start up. The fuse protects the whole circuit.
Figure 4: Input filter and rectification
The rectified voltage on pin 19 and pin 21 of the module is named DC1 link. These powers up
to the PFC circuit which is described in the next chapter.
3.2
PFC
1 kW PFC circuit is included in the board with settable switching frequency and settable DC2
link voltage and with C2 capacitor (560 µF/450 VAC). The PFC IGBT, PFC diode, gate driver
and shunt resistor have been integrated in the module. The value of the PFC inductor L1 is 0.7
mH. D1 and D2 are protection diodes for the PFC shunt and PFC diode.
Figure 5: PFC power circuit
The switching signals for the integrated MOSFET are generated by the ICE2PCS01 PFC
controller. This is powered with an AC/DC converter supplying +15 V. Two resistors connected
to pin 4 of the PFC controller adjust the switching frequency. This is set by R4 and R_frek to
130 kHz. Changing R_frek change the switching frequency.
R frec _ set 
R4  R _ frek
R4  R _ frek
The datasheet of the ICE2PCS01 shows a diagram with the dependency of Rfrec_set and the
switching frequency.

The voltage of DC2+ can be modified with the resistor R_dc.
Figure 6: PFC controller circuit
The default voltage is approx. 400 VDC. This is the maximum suggested DC-Link voltage. The
following equation shows how to adjust the voltage of the DC-Bus. The internal reference
voltage of the PFC controller is 3 V.

There has been a PFC shunt resistor integrated in the module. By this shunt the PFC current
can be measured. The kit contains dual differential amplifier. One amplifier is used to measure
the current through the PFC shunt and the other amplifier is used to measure the DC-Link
current which will be explained more in detail in the next chapter.
The power module P95x has a build in low side gate driver for the PFC switch. This allows low
output currents of the PFC controller and guarantees also a fast and save switching of the PFC
switch itself. The low side gate driver circuit is based on the BC817UPN which has an output
current of 1 A. Refer to the datasheet for more information.

Pin 2 of AOUT connector has U_REF potential when no current is driven through the PFC shunt.
If the PFC stage works the S_PFC output signal change according to the current through the
shunt. Refer to the following figure.
Figure 7: Picture of differential amplifier at PFC shunt resistor
Check the datasheet of the PFC controller ICE2PCS01 for more information.
3.3
Inverter part and shunt measurement
The inverter switches, contained in the module gets the drive signals from the TTL level PWM
input signals. Level shifters and high side bootstrap driver are also included in the module. For
the measurement of the motor current there is a DC link shunt in the common emitter of low
side IGBTs (eg. shunt with a value of 25 mΩ is implemented in the 10 A P955 modules). InvS+
and InvS- are connected direct to the inverter shunt and provide a signal through the second
differential amplifier to the AOUT connector.
Like for the PFC shunt measurement the output signal is shifted with the U_REF voltage. If the
motor is not in operation U_REF is forwarded to pin 4. If the motor is driven, the potential of
pin 4 will change according to the current flow through the shunt.

Voltage measurements
The kit contains two voltage dividers. Through those the voltage after the rectification UDC1+
and the voltage after the PFC stage UDC2+ can be measured. The output of voltage dividers is
1.83 Vpeak / 324 Vpeak for the UDC1+_M and 2.20 V / 400 V DC in case of UDC2+_M. The voltages
are provided to the connector AOUT. The following equations show how to calculate:

U DC 2 _ M  U DC 2 

It is recommended only to change R58 or R57.

Temperature measurement
The internal NTC for temperature measurement can be monitored via the AOUT connector.
For calculating heatsink temperature the following circuit can be used, and the NTC
characteristics can be read from the module datasheet:
Figure 10: NTC measurement circuit
The thermistor has a resistance of 22 kΩ at 25 °C and a B(25/50)-value of 3950 K.
The relation between resistance and temperature of the NTC is expressed as:

Where T2 is the measured NTC temperature.

Operation
The module can be activated via an active high signal on the pin 3 of the control connector. By
default the module is disabled.
Before the module can handle the PWM signals from the microcontroller if is necessary to wait
at least 800 ns after the enable signal is applied.
The following startup sequence should be applied:

MODUL_ENABLE signal go LOW

wait for at least 800 ns

start the PWM

MODULE_ENABLE signal go HIGH

page 13
Fault signal is generated in case of short circuit on the output. In this case set the
MODULE_ENABLE signal to disable within 5 µs time, and it must be kept in this state for at
least one second. The number of allowed short circuits is limited to 1000.
The recommended switching frequency is 16 kHz.
