BM63373S-VC

Overview

The BM63373S-VC is a 600V Intelligent Power Module (IPM) integrating gate drivers, bootstrap diodes, IGBTs, and fast recovery diodes. It features a 10A collector current with a Vce(sat) of 1.5V. The recommended switching frequency is up to 20kHz. Isolation voltage is 1500Vrms. Storage temperature ranges from -40°C to 125°C. Package dimensions are 38x24mm with a height of 3.75mm in HSDIP25 format.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-side gate driver using SOI process with level shifting and UVLO.
• Includes low-side protection for short circuit, thermal shutdown, and under-voltage lockout.
• Optimized FRD soft recovery reduces radiated noise compared to standard products.
• Built-in temperature output allows detection without external thermistors.

Applications

• Three-phase AC servo drives for industrial robots
• Inverter systems for white home appliances like air conditioners
• Compressor drive circuits requiring low-speed switching

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VC' against datasheets to confirm package variant and pin compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific batch. Check UL recognition file E468261 if safety certification is required for the end application. Ensure input signals match the specified 3.3V or 5V logic levels.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring integrated protection and noise reduction. The 10A rating suits small-capacity motors. Consider the BM6357x series if external control of thermal shutdown is needed instead of autonomous protection. Verify that the 20kHz switching frequency aligns with the system design requirements.

Part Context

Part of the BM6337x series designed for low noise and low loss. It addresses EMC challenges by optimizing FRD performance. The module simplifies design by removing the need for external heat sensors and reducing filter components. It serves as a compact solution for DC-to-AC inversion in consumer and light industrial equipment.

Replacement Considerations

BM63373S-VA is a similar variant within the same series. Verify pinout and electrical parameters before substitution. Other models in the BM6337x family offer different current ratings but may require layout adjustments.

FAQ

Does the BM63373S-VC have autonomous thermal shutdown?

Yes, it includes a Thermal Shutdown (TSD) circuit that activates autonomously during overheating events.

What is the maximum isolation voltage?

The isolation voltage is rated at 1500Vrms between the power terminals and the control terminals.

Can this module replace external thermistors?

Yes, it provides a temperature output signal (VOT) with accuracy comparable to a thermistor, allowing for the removal of external sensing components.
