AIP3D15A060Q4T

Overview

The AIP3D15A060Q4T is a 26-pin Intelligent Power Module (IPM) featuring a 600V Trench Shielded Planar Gate IGBT inverter. It supports a continuous output phase current of 15A at 25°C and includes built-in bootstrap diodes with integrated current-limiting resistors. The module provides comprehensive protection mechanisms, including short-circuit current detection, under-voltage lockout for control and high-side bias supplies, and controllable over-temperature protection. It utilizes Schmitt trigger receivers for 3V or 5V logic inputs and offers an isolation rating of 2000Vrms.

Feature Summary

• Integrated 600V Trench Shielded Planar Gate IGBTs with low saturation voltage characteristics
• Built-in bootstrap diodes with integrated current-limiting resistors for simplified gate drive design
• Comprehensive protection suite including short-circuit current protection, under-voltage lockout, and over-temperature monitoring
• Schmitt trigger input interface compatible with 3V and 5V logic levels

Applications

• AC 100-240Vrms class low power motor drives
• Air-conditioner compressor motors
• Washing machine fan motors
• Industrial fan motor controls

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package terminal type required for the application: IPM-3E (Long with stopper) corresponds to the standard AIP3D15A060Q4T part number. Confirm that the operating junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C aligns with the thermal management design. Ensure the control supply voltage remains within the 13.5V to 16.5V range during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a compact three-phase inverter solution with integrated protection. The module eliminates the need for external bootstrap diodes due to internal integration. Designers must account for the 15A continuous current limit at 25°C case temperature and ensure adequate heat sinking to maintain junction temperatures below 150°C under load.

Part Context

This device belongs to Alpha & Omega Semiconductor's IPM product line, designed for high-density power conversion. It integrates power switches and driver circuits into a single Dual-In-Line Package. The module targets consumer and industrial appliances where space constraints and reliability are critical factors in system design.

Replacement Considerations

The datasheet lists AIP3P15A060Q4T as a variant with an optional built-in PFC diode. No other direct substitute part numbers are documented in the provided source material.

FAQ

How is the over-temperature protection trip level configured?

The OT pin can be connected to VDD to set a fixed trip level of 120°C. Alternatively, the trip level can be adjusted using pull-down resistors; for example, a 100kΩ resistor sets the trip level to 130°C.

What is the function of the VCF pin?

The VCF pin serves as a controllable fault output and enable input. It outputs a fault signal when short-circuit, under-voltage, or over-temperature conditions occur. Holding this pin low shuts down all low-side IGBTs.

Does the AIP3D15A060Q4T include a built-in PFC diode?

No, the AIP3D15A060Q4T does not include a built-in PFC diode. The variant AIP3P15A060Q4T includes an ultra-fast recovery diode for PFC applications.
