What Is An Integrated Power Module?
An integrated power module processes power according to the information content at the control
interface. Functions that are covered by integrated power modules include power supply bus
types, passive components integrated into the bus and passive components integrated into the
load, among others. An integrated power module provides the physical containment package for
several power components, usually Power semiconductor devices. Examples of power module
structures are a switch (MOSFET, IGBT) with antiparallel diode, half bridge (inverter leg with
two switches and their corresponding diodes) or three-phases inverter (six switches and the
corresponding diodes).
