AIP5N15K060Q4

Overview

The AIP5N15K060Q4 is a 23-pin IPM-5 Intelligent Power Module featuring Trench Shielded Planar Gate IGBTs. It integrates a three-phase inverter with HVIC drivers, operating at 600V and 15A. The module includes built-in bootstrap diodes with integrated current-limiting resistors, UVLO, over-temperature protection, and short-circuit current protection. It provides a controllable fault output signal (VCF) for SC, UV, and OT faults. Isolation ratings are 2000Vrms/min, and it supports a wide input interface of 3-18V.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a three-phase inverter with high-voltage IC drivers and Trench Shielded Planar Gate IGBTs
• Includes built-in bootstrap diodes with integrated current-limiting resistors
• Provides comprehensive protection including under-voltage lockout, over-temperature detection, and short-circuit current protection
• Features a controllable fault output signal corresponding to short-circuit, under-voltage, and over-temperature conditions

Applications

• AC 100-240Vrms class low power motor drives
• Washing machines
• Compressors
• Fan motors
• Refrigerators and air-conditioners

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant required: standard pin length (AIP5N15K060Q4) or short pin length (AIP5N15K060Q4S). Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to 150°C junction temperature range. Ensure isolation requirements meet the 2000Vrms minimum rating between connected pins and the heat sink plate during system design validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring an integrated three-phase inverter solution with built-in protection features. The module supports direct MCU drive without opto-couplers due to its active-high Schmitt trigger receiver circuit. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when designing the heatsink interface, specifically noting the junction-to-case thermal resistance values for both IGBT and FWD chips per one-sixth of the module.

Part Context

FAQ

How does the VCF pin function?

The VCF pin serves as a controllable fault output. When pulled high, it enables normal operation. If a fault occurs (short-circuit, under-voltage, or over-temperature), it outputs a fault signal. The pulse width can be fixed at a minimum of 20µs or controlled using external RC components.

What is the maximum short-circuit withstand time?

The module has a short-circuit withstand time of 5 µs, measured at a supply voltage of ≤400V, junction temperature of 150°C, and VDD of 15V.

Can the IPM be driven directly by an MCU?

Yes, direct drive from an MCU is possible without opto-couplers or isolation transformers, as the module features a wide input interface (3-18V) with a Schmitt trigger receiver circuit.
