SLLIMM™ Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs)

STMicroelectronics SLLIMM™ Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) extend ST's appliance-control product range with a thermally efficient solution that simplifies design by combining application specific IGBTs and diodes, proprietary control functions, smart protections and extra optional features. Directly connected to the microcontroller, IPMs convert microcontroller output into the correct high-power waveform to drive the motor. One module can replace more than 30 discrete components, thereby increasing reliability while reducing size and cost.
