STEVAL-IPM15B motor control power board based on the
SLLIMM™ 2nd series of IGBT IPMs
Introduction
The STEVAL-IPM15B is a compact motor drive power board based on SLLIMM™ (small low-loss
intelligent molded module) 2nd series (STGIB15CH60TS-L). It provides an affordable and easy-to-use
solution for driving high power motors for a wide range of applications such as power white goods, air
conditioning, compressors, power fans, high-end power tools and 3-phase inverters for motor drives in
general. The IPM itself consists of short-circuit rugged IGBTs and a wide range of features like
undervoltage lockout, smart shutdown, embedded temperature sensor and NTC, and overcurrent
protection.
The main characteristics of this evaluation board are small size, minimal BOM and high efficiency. It
consists of an interface circuit (BUS and VCC connectors), bootstrap capacitors, snubber capacitor,
hardware short-circuit protection, fault event and temperature monitoring. In order to increase the
flexibility, it is designed to work in single- or three-shunt configuration and with double current sensing
options such as using three dedicated onboard op-amps, or op-amps embedded in the MCU. The
Hall/Encoder part completes the circuit.
Thanks to these advanced characteristics, the system has been specifically designed to achieve fast
and accurate current feedback conditioning, satisfying the typical requirements for field-oriented control
(FOC).
The STEVAL-IPM15B is compatible with ST's STM32-based control board, enabling designers to build
a complete platform for motor control.

Main characteristics
The board is designed to be compatible with DC supply from 125 VDC up to 400 VDC
voltage.
A bulk capacitor according to the power level of the application must be mounted. The
footprint is already provided on the board.
The SLLIMM integrates six IGBT switches with freewheeling diodes together with high
voltage gate drivers. Thanks to this integrated module, the system is specifically designed
to achieve power inversion in a reliable and compact design. Such integration reduces the
required PCB area and the simplicity of the design increases reliability.
In order to increase the flexibility, it can operate in single- or three-shunt configuration by
modifying solder bridge jumper settings (see Section 4.3.5: "Single- or three-shunt
selection").

Filters and key parameters
4.1
Input signals
The input signals (LINx and HINx), able to drive the internal IGBTs, are active high. A 100
kΩ (typ.) pull-down resistor is built-in for each input signal. In order to prevent input signal
oscillation, an RC filter was added on each input and placed as close as possible to the
IPM. The filter is designed using a time constant of 10 ns (1 kΩ and 10 pF).
4.2
Bootstrap capacitor
In the 3-phase inverter, the emitters of the low side IGBTs are connected to the negative
DC bus (VDC-) as common reference ground, which allows all low side gate drivers to share
the same power supply, while the emitter of high side IGBTs is alternately connected to the
positive (VDC+) and negative (VDC-) DC bus during running conditions.
A bootstrap method is a simple and cheap solution to supply the high voltage section. This
function is normally accomplished by a high voltage fast recovery diode. The SLLIMM 2 nd
series family includes a patented integrated structure that replaces the external diode. It is
realized with a high voltage DMOS functioning as diode with series resistor. An internal
charge pump provides the DMOS driving voltage. The value of the C BOOT capacitor should
be calculated according to the application condition.
Figure 9: "CBOOT graph selection" shows the behavior of CBOOT (calculated) versus
switching frequency (fsw), with different values of ∆VCBOOT for a continuous sinusoidal
modulation and a duty cycle δ = 50%.
The boot capacitor must be two or three times larger than the CBOOT calculated in the
graph. For this design, a value of 2.2 µF was selected.

Overcurrent protection
The SLLIMM 2nd series integrates a comparator for fault sensing purposes. The comparator
has an internal voltage reference VREF (510 mV typ.) connected to the inverting input, while
the non-inverting input available on the CIN pin can be connected to an external shunt
resistor to implement the overcurrent protection function. When the comparator triggers,
the device enters the shutdown state.
The comparator output is connected to the SD pin in order to send the fault message to
the MCU.
4.3.1
SD Pin
The SD is an input/output pin (open drain type if used as output). Taking into account the
voltage reference on SD (3.3 V), a pull up resistor of 10 kΩ (R23) is used to guarantee
the right bias and consequently to keep the current on the open drain DMOS (I od) lower
than 3 mA.
The filter on SD (R28 and C20) has to be sized to obtain the desired re-starting time
after a fault event and placed as close as possible to the SD pin.
A shutdown event can be managed by the MCU, in this case the SD functions as the
input pin.
Conversely, the SD functions as an output pin when an overcurrent or undervoltage
condition is detected.
4.3.2
Fault management
The SLLIMM 2nd series integrates a specific kind of fault management, useful when SD
is functioning as output, able to identify the type of fault event.
As previously described, as soon as a fault occurs, the open-drain (DMOS) is activated and
LVGx outputs are forced low.
Two types of fault can be signaled:


Overcurrent (OC) sensed by the internal comparator (CIN);
Undervoltage (UVLO) on supply voltage (VCC).
Each fault enables the SD open drain for a different time (see the table below).
The duration of a shutdown event therefore tells us the type of failure that has occurred.

Figure 10: "SD failure due to overcurrent" shows a shutdown as the result of an overcurrent
event. During the overcurrent, the voltage on the comparator (CIN) exceeds the threshold
(0.51 V typ.) and the shutdown is able to stop the application. In this case, the SD event
time is about 20 µs (for OC event less than 20 µs).
Figure 10: SD failure due to overcurrent
Figure 11: "SD failure due to undervoltage (UVLO below 50 µs)" shows the shutdown event
as the result of an undervoltage condition on the VCC supply. If VCC drops below the
undervoltage threshold, the shutdown can stop the application. If the voltage on V CC rises
above the VCC on threshold in less than 50 µs, the SD event time is about 50 µs.

Shunt resistor selection
The value of the shunt resistor is calculated by the following equation:
Equation 1
𝑅𝑆𝐻 =

𝐼𝑂𝐶
Where Vref is the internal comparator (CIN) (0.51 V typ.) and IOC is the overcurrent
threshold detection level.
The maximum OC protection level should be set to less than the pulsed collector current in
the datasheet. In this design, the overcurrent threshold level is fixed at 30% above the
nominal IPM current.
For STGIB15CH60TS-L, IOC is 20 A peak, therefore:

RC filter
An RC filter network is required to prevent undesired short circuit operation due to the
noise on the shunt resistor. In this design, the RC filter, composed of R23, R18, R21, R24
and C19, has a constant time of about 1.3 µs. Adding the turn-off propagation delay of the
gate driver and the IGBT turn-off time (hundreds of nanoseconds in total), the total delay
time is less than 5 µs of short circuit withstand IGBT time.

Single- or three-shunt selection
Single- or three-shunt resistor circuits can be adopted by setting the solder bridges SW5,
SW6, SW7 and SW8.
The figures below illustrate how to set up the two configurations.

Current sensing amplifying network
Current sensing amplifying network
The STEVAL-IPM15B motor control demonstration board can be configured to run in threeshunt or single-shunt configurations for field oriented control (FOC).
The current can be sensed thanks to the shunt resistor and amplified by using the on board
operational amplifiers or by the MCU (if equipped with op-amp).
Once the shunt configuration is chosen by setting solder bridge on SW5, SW6, SW7 and
SW8 (as described in Section 4.3.5: "Single- or three-shunt selection"), the user can
choose to send the voltage shunt to the MCU amplified or unamplified.
Single-shunt configuration requires a single op amp and three-shunt configuration requires
three op amps; therefore, in single-shunt configuration, the only voltage which is sent to the
MCU to control the sensing is connected to phase V through SW2.
SW1, SW2, SW4 can select which signals are sent to micro, as described below:

The operational amplifier TSV994 used on amplifying networks has a 20 MHz gain
bandwidth and operates with a single positive supply of 3.3 V.
The amplification network must allow bidirectional current sensing, so that an output offset
VO = +1.65 V represents zero current.
Referencing the STGIB15CH60TS-L (IOCP = 20 A; RSHUNT = 0.04 Ω), the maximum
measurable phase current, considering that the output swings from +1.65 V to +3.3 V
(MCU supply voltage) for positive currents and from +1.65 V to 0 for negative currents is:

Finally choosing Ra=Rb and Rc=Rd, the differential gain of the circuit is:

An amplification gain of 2.1 was chosen. The same amplification is obtained for all the
other devices, taking into account the OCP current and the shunt resistance, as described
in Table 2: "Shunt selection".
The RC filter for output amplification is designed to have a time constant that matches
noise parameters in the range of 1.5 µs:

Temperature monitoring
Temperature monitoring
The SLLIMM 2nd series family integrates a temperature sensor (VTSO) on the low side gate
driver and a NTC thermistor placed close to the power stage. The board is designed to use
both of them which can be selected by using SW3 in order to monitor internal IPM
temperature through the MCU.
6.1
Thermal sensor (VTSO)
A voltage proportional to the temperature is available on the TSO pin (17) and easily
measurable on the TP20 test pin.
The thermal sensor does not need any pull down resistors.
To increase the noise immunity, a capacitor filter of 1 nF (C16) is placed on this pin.
The following graph shows the typical variation of the voltage as a function of temperature.
Figure 15: Thermal sensor voltage vs temperature
6.2
NTC Thermistor
The built-in thermistor (85 kΩ at 25 °C) is inside the IPM and connected between T1 and
T2 pins (26, 25).
A pull up resistor (R10) of 12 kΩ is used in order to guarantee an almost linear voltage
variation on the NTC as a function of temperature. This voltage can be easily detected on
TP1 test pin.
The figure below shows the typical voltage on T2 as function of temperature.

PCB design guide
PCB design guide
Optimization of PCB layout for high voltage, high current and high switching frequency
applications is a critical point. PCB layout is a complex matter as it includes several
aspects, such as length and width of track and circuit areas, but also the proper routing of
the traces and the optimized reciprocal arrangement of the various system elements in the
PCB area.
A good layout can help the application to properly function and achieve expected
performance. On the other hand, a PCB without a careful layout can generate EMI issues,
provide overvoltage spikes due to parasitic inductance along the PCB traces and produce
higher power loss and even malfunction in the control and sensing stages.
In general, these conditions were applied during the design of the board:




10.1
PCB traces designed as short as possible and the area of the circuit (power or signal)
minimized to avoid the sensitivity of such structures to surrounding noise.
Good distance between switching lines with high voltage transitions and the signal line
sensitive to electrical noise.
The shunt resistors were placed as close as possible to the low side pins of the
SLLIMM. To decrease the parasitic inductance, a low inductance type resistor (SMD)
was used.
RC filters were placed as close as possible to the SLLIMM pins in order to increase
their efficiency.
Layout of reference board
All the components are inserted on the top of the board. Only the IPM module is inserted
on the bottom to allow the insertion of a suitable heatsink for the application.

Recommendations and suggestions
Recommendations and suggestions


The BOM list is not provided with a bulk capacitor already inserted in the PCB.
However, the necessary space has been included (C1) and therefore it is advisable to
use an appropriate bulk capacity to stabilize the bus supply voltage.
Similarly, the BOM list does not include the heat sink. It is possible put the heat sink,
above the IPM on the bottom of the PCB, with thermal conductive foil and screws. The
value of RTH has to be considered for good thermal performance; it depends on certain
factors such as current phase, switching frequency, power factor and ambient
temperature.

General safety instructions

UM2014
General safety instructions
Warning: the evaluation board works with high voltage which could be deadly for the
users. Furthermore all circuits on the board are not isolated from the line input. Due to the
high power density, the components on the board as well as the heat sink can be heated to
a very high temperature, which can cause a burning risk when touched directly. The users
should be engineers and technicians who are experienced in power electronics technology
and make sure that no danger or risk may occur while operating this board.
After the operation of the evaluation board, the bulk capacitor C1 (if used) may
still store a high energy for several minutes. So it must be first discharged before
any direct touching of the board.
In order to protect the bulk capacitor C1, it is strongly recommended for the users
to use an external brake chopper after C1 (to discharge the high brake current
back from the induction motor).
