AIP3P15A060Q4N

Overview

The AIP3P15A060Q4N is a three-phase inverter Intelligent Power Module (IPM) from Alpha & Omega Semiconductor, utilizing Trench Shielded Planar Gate IGBT technology. It integrates low forward voltage and ultra-fast recovery diodes for Power Factor Correction (PFC). The module features built-in bootstrap diodes with integrated current-limiting resistors and comprehensive protection mechanisms including UVLO, controllable over-temperature protection, and short-circuit current detection. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C and provides an isolation rating of 2000Vrms.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a three-phase inverter with optional built-in PFC diode functionality
• Includes built-in bootstrap diodes with integrated current-limiting resistors
• Provides control supply under-voltage lockout and controllable over-temperature protection
• Features short-circuit current protection and a controllable fault output signal

Applications

• AC 100-240Vrms class low power motor drives
• Air-conditioners and washing machines
• Compressors and fan motors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' indicates the IPM-3C package variant with normal terminal length. Confirm that the 'P' designation ensures the inclusion of the built-in PFC diode connected to pins P2 and P3. Ensure the design accommodates the required 2000Vrms isolation rating between pins and heat sink plate. Check for UL recognition file E345245 compliance if required by system specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution combining a three-phase inverter and PFC rectification is required. The integrated bootstrap diodes simplify gate drive circuitry by eliminating external components. The module supports both 3V and 5V logic inputs via Schmitt trigger receivers. Consider the thermal resistance values for heatsink sizing based on the expected collector dissipation and ambient conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AIP3 series of Intelligent Power Modules designed for AC motor control applications. It combines high-voltage IGBTs with intelligent gate drivers and protection circuits in a single Dual-In-Line Package. The series differentiates itself by integrating PFC capabilities directly into the inverter structure, reducing component count and board space for consumer electronics and industrial motor drives.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include AIP3D15A060Q4 and AIP3D15A060Q4N. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution. Note that these substitutes may lack the built-in PFC diode feature present in the AIP3P15A060Q4N variant.
