Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix (M1 vs M1S) to confirm pin length requirements before procurement. Confirm that the application voltage does not exceed the 400V maximum recommended operating condition. Ensure the PCB layout strictly follows the manufacturer's recommendations for grounding and capacitor placement to prevent malfunction due to noise or surge.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact, pre-integrated three-phase drive solution. It is suitable for systems where space constraints prohibit discrete driver and protection circuit designs. Verify that the load current remains within the 10A continuous rating and that the DC-link voltage stays below 400V. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when designing the heat sink interface.

FAQ

How is the over-temperature protection configured?

Over-temperature protection can be configured in two ways. If the VOT pin is left open, the internal over-temperature shutdown function activates automatically. If a 10kΩ resistor is connected to the VOT pin, the system enables temperature monitoring, allowing the external controller to read the temperature voltage and manage the fault state.

Which phases support short-circuit current protection?

Short-circuit current protection is implemented only for the low-side IGBTs. It requires an external shunt resistor and an RC filter connected to the CSC pin to detect the fault and interrupt the gate signal.

What is the fault output behavior during different failure modes?

The VFO pin outputs a fault signal for under-voltage, over-temperature, and short-circuit conditions. For short-circuit faults, the pulse width is fixed at a minimum of 20µs. For under-voltage or over-temperature faults, the output remains active continuously until the fault condition is resolved.
