BM63563S-VA

Overview

The BM63563S-VA is a 600V IGBT Intelligent Power Module (IPM) manufactured by ROHM Semiconductor. It integrates a three-phase DC/AC inverter with low-side IGBTs featuring open emitters, built-in bootstrap diodes, and high-side gate drivers utilizing SOI technology. The module includes low-side gate drivers with short-circuit protection and under-voltage lockout. Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter voltage of 600V, a continuous collector current of 10A, and a saturation voltage of 1.5V. It supports a recommended switching frequency up to 6kHz, offers 1500Vrms isolation, and operates within a storage temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three-phase inverter with low-side IGBTs, bootstrap diodes, and high-side gate drivers using SOI process
• Includes low-side gate driver with short-circuit current protection and thermal shutdown capabilities
• Features analog temperature output signal for monitoring junction conditions

Applications

• Three-phase DC/AC inverters
• Compressor drives
• Low-speed switching applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VC' versus 'VA' as datasheets indicate BM63563S-VC is not recommended for new designs while supporting existing customers. Confirm package dimensions and pinout compatibility before integration. Check current supply status as availability may be limited for non-recommended parts. Ensure design aligns with the specified low-speed switching frequency limits to maintain reliability.

Selection Notes

Select this IPM for applications requiring integrated protection features such as short-circuit current protection and under-voltage lockout. The module is suitable for low-speed switching environments up to 6kHz. Consider the open emitter configuration for low-side IGBTs when designing the control circuitry. Verify that the 10A current rating meets the load requirements and that the thermal management system can handle the power dissipation at the specified operating temperatures.

Part Context

This component belongs to ROHM's Intelligent Power Module series designed for motor control and inverter applications. It consolidates power devices and driver circuits into a single package to reduce board space and simplify design. The BM63563S variant specifically targets low-speed switching needs, distinguishing it from high-frequency counterparts in the lineup.

Replacement Considerations

BM63573S-VA is a similar IPM but supports higher switching frequencies up to 20kHz. Verify if the increased speed capability is necessary or if the lower cost of the BM63563S-VA is preferred for fixed low-speed applications.
