PS11036

Overview

The Powerex PS11036 is an Application Specific Intelligent Power Module (ASIPM) integrating a three-phase inverter bridge and a three-phase rectifier converter. It features a 600V IGBT rating with a continuous collector current of 30A at TC=25°C, and a surge capability of 60A peak. The module includes integrated high-voltage ICs for gate drive and protection, supporting PWM frequencies up to 15kHz. Key electrical parameters include a maximum DC-link voltage of 400V, an isolation voltage of 2500V, and thermal resistance from junction to case of 1.5°C/W for IGBTs.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision status and manufacturing date code upon order confirmation. Ensure that the mounting torque adheres strictly to the specified 13 in-lb limit for M4 screws to maintain mechanical integrity and thermal performance. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified case operating temperature range of -20°C to 100°C to guarantee reliable operation.

Selection Notes

Select this module for applications requiring integrated protection and compact form factors. Ensure the system design accommodates the 15kHz maximum switching frequency and provides adequate heat sinking to manage the thermal resistance values. Verify that the control signals match the specified input voltage thresholds for proper logic interfacing.

Part Context

This component belongs to Powerex's Intellimod™ series of Application Specific Intelligent Power Modules. These modules are designed to simplify inverter design by combining power semiconductors with intelligent control circuits. The PS11036 specifically targets small-scale industrial and commercial motor drive applications where space efficiency and integrated safety features are critical.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the documentation.

FAQ

What is the maximum switching frequency supported by the PS11036?

The module supports a maximum PWM input frequency of 15 kHz when the case temperature is maintained at or below 100°C.

How does the module handle shoot-through protection?

The module includes an arm shoot-through blocking time of 2.2 µs. However, the dead-time must be set externally by the CPU; it is not part of the internal ASIPM functions.

What protection mechanisms are included in the control sector?

The control sector includes over-current (OC), short-circuit (SC), and under-voltage (UV) lockout protections. Fault outputs are provided only when these internal protection circuits are activated.
