AIP3N15A060Q4N

Overview

The AIP3N15A060Q4N is a 26-pin PowerDIP Intelligent Power Module featuring a 600V, 15A Trench Shielded Planar Gate IGBT three-phase inverter. It integrates bootstrap diodes with current-limiting resistors and provides comprehensive protection including UVLO, over-temperature (OT), and short-circuit current (CSC). The module includes an NTC thermistor for temperature monitoring and a controllable fault output (VCF) signal. Isolation ratings are 2000Vrms/min.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Trench Shielded Planar Gate IGBTs with built-in bootstrap diodes and integrated current-limiting resistors.
• Provides active protection mechanisms including under-voltage lockout, over-temperature shutdown, and short-circuit current detection.
• Features a multifunctional VCF pin that serves as a controllable fault output or enable input to shut down low-side IGBTs.
• Includes an internal NTC thermistor for precise temperature monitoring alongside Schmitt trigger receiver circuits for inputs.

Applications

• AC 100-240Vrms class low power motor drives
• Air-conditioners
• Washing machines
• Compressors
• Fan Motors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific terminal type required for your PCB layout: 'A' suffix indicates IPM-3A Normal terminals, while no suffix denotes IPM-3 Long terminals. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the operating junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C aligns with your thermal design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this module for applications requiring integrated gate drive and protection within a compact form factor. Ensure the control supply voltage remains between 13.5V and 16.5V. Verify that the maximum switching frequency does not exceed 20kHz and that the minimum input pulse width meets the 0.5µs requirement for reliable operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AIP3 series of intelligent power modules from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor. It utilizes a 26-PowerDIP package designed for through-hole mounting. The module consolidates power switching and control logic into a single unit, simplifying the design of three-phase inverter systems compared to discrete component implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed parameter-equivalent substitutes include AIP3N15A060Q4.

FAQ

How is the over-temperature protection trip level configured?

The OT pin can be connected to VDD for a default 120°C setup, left open for the same setting, or adjusted using pull-down resistors (e.g., 100kΩ sets it to 130°C).

What is the function of the VCF pin?

The VCF pin acts as a controllable fault output indicating SC, UV, or OT faults, and can also serve as an enable input to shut down all low-side IGBTs when held low.

Does the short-circuit protection apply to high-side IGBTs?

No, the short-circuit current protection (CSC) functionality is implemented only for the low-side IGBTs.
