Infineon FS10R06VL4_B2 IGBT Module

Infineon FS10R06VL4_B2 IGBT | The Compact CIB Solution for Low-Power Drives

The Infineon FS10R06VL4_B2 is a highly integrated Power Integrated Module (PIM) designed to streamline the development of compact and efficient low-power motor drives. By combining a three-phase input rectifier, a brake chopper, and a three-phase output inverter into a single EasyPIM™ 1B package, this module dramatically reduces component count, simplifies PCB layout, and accelerates time-to-market for applications in industrial automation and appliance control.

Engineering Advantage: Integration and Efficiency Combined

The true value of the FS10R06VL4_B2 lies in its intelligent integration and the underlying semiconductor technology. These two facets work in synergy to solve critical engineering challenges.

• CIB (Converter-Inverter-Brake) Topology: This all-in-one architecture is a game-changer for space-constrained designs. Instead of sourcing, qualifying, and assembling separate rectifier diodes, a brake chopper IGBT, and a three-phase inverter, engineers get a pre-validated, thermally optimized solution. This minimizes parasitic inductance, improves reliability by reducing solder joints, and shrinks the overall drive footprint. You can learn more about the concept behind such integrated solutions in this overview of a PIM (Power Integrated Module).
• Trench Field-Stop IGBT4 Technology: At the heart of the inverter stage is Infineon's proven TrenchSTOP™ IGBT4. This technology provides an excellent trade-off between low conduction losses (VCE(sat)) and minimal switching loss. For the designer, this translates directly to higher operational efficiency, reduced heat generation, and the potential for a smaller, more cost-effective heatsink—a critical factor in compact drive systems.

Solving Real-World Challenges with the FS10R06VL4_B2

This module's feature set directly addresses the pain points in several key application areas:

• Compact Servo Drives: In robotics and CNC machinery, every square centimeter of PCB space is precious. The Infineon FS10R06VL4_B2's high integration level allows for the design of extremely compact Servo Drive systems without compromising on performance or thermal management.
• General Purpose & Small Industrial Motor Drives: For applications like conveyor belts, fans, pumps, and packaging machines, reliability and ease of manufacturing are paramount. The module's integrated nature simplifies assembly and enhances system robustness, while the integrated NTC thermistor provides crucial real-time temperature feedback for overload protection.
• High-Efficiency Appliance Control: In modern home appliances, energy efficiency is a key market differentiator. The low VCE(sat) of the IGBT4 ensures that minimal power is wasted as heat, contributing to a better energy rating and lower operating costs for the end-user.

Strategic Selection: Integrated PIM vs. Discrete Solution

Engineers often weigh the benefits of an integrated IGBT Module like the FS10R06VL4_B2 against a design using discrete components. While a discrete approach offers maximum layout flexibility, it comes at the cost of increased design complexity, a larger bill of materials (BOM), and extensive validation efforts for thermal and electrical performance. The FS10R06VL4_B2 provides a pre-engineered, reliable power stage, making it the superior choice for projects where development speed, system density, and proven performance are the primary drivers. This approach aligns with the core principles of efficient power system design, as explored in the backbone of high-efficiency power systems.

The Infineon FS10R06VL4_B2 is more than just a component; it's a platform for innovation in low-power motion control. By handling the core power conversion tasks within a single, optimized package, it frees up engineering resources to focus on value-added features like advanced control algorithms and user interface design. If your project demands a compact and robust power stage, this PIM is an exceptional candidate.
