AIP5D15K060Q4S

Overview

The AIP5D15K060Q4S is a Trench Shielded Planar Gate IGBT Intelligent Power Module (IPM) manufactured by Alpha & Omega Semiconductor Inc. It integrates a three-phase inverter with high-voltage integrated circuit (HVIC) drivers, bootstrap diodes, and current-limiting resistors within a 23-pin IPM-5A package. The module supports a collector-emitter voltage of 600V and a continuous output phase current of 15A at 25°C case temperature. It features an isolation rating of 2000Vrms/min and operates across a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'S' corresponds to the IPM-5A package variant with short pin lengths when sourcing replacements. Confirm that the component meets UL1557 recognition requirements for your target market. Ensure the design accommodates the specified thermal resistance values and mounting torque specifications to maintain reliable operation within the stated temperature limits.

Selection Notes

Select this module for applications requiring a compact three-phase inverter solution with integrated gate drive and protection logic. The IPM-5A package offers a shorter pin length compared to standard variants, which may influence PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the system's ability to manage the recommended dead-time and PWM frequency limits to prevent shoot-through conditions during high-speed switching operations.

FAQ

How does the VOT pin function regarding temperature monitoring?

Connecting a 10kΩ pull-down resistor to the VOT pin enables the temperature monitoring function. If left open, both over-temperature protection and monitoring functions are active simultaneously.

What is the maximum short-circuit withstand time for this module?

The module can withstand a short-circuit condition for up to 5 microseconds when the supply voltage is 400V or less, the junction temperature is 150°C, and the control supply voltage is 15V.

Can the IPM be driven directly by a microcontroller?

Yes, direct drive from a microcontroller is possible without opto-couplers or isolation transformers, provided the input signals meet the required turn-on and turn-off threshold voltages.
