Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision status of the datasheet, as the provided documentation indicates preliminary specifications where parametric limits are subject to change. Confirm that the required thermal management solutions align with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values. Ensure that the mounting torque adheres strictly to the recommended range of 0.98 to 1.47 N·m to maintain proper insulation and thermal contact integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this module for applications requiring high voltage isolation and integrated intelligent power switching. Consider the 1200V rating for robustness against surge voltages in industrial environments. Evaluate the thermal performance based on the maximum case operating temperature of +100°C. Verify that the control supply voltages match the recommended 15V for driver supplies and 5V for logic interfaces.

Part Context

This component belongs to the family of Application Specific Intelligent Power Modules (ASIPMs). It combines power semiconductor devices with control electronics to simplify inverter design. The flat-base insulated type facilitates direct mounting to heatsinks while providing electrical isolation between the terminals and the base plate.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the verified source material.

FAQ

How does the module handle arm shoot-through?

The module includes an input inter-lock sensing circuit that blocks arm shoot-through. If simultaneous low-level inputs are detected for an upper-arm and lower-arm pair, both IGBTs are cut off, and an FO signal is outputted.

What is the function of the CL terminal?

The CL terminal provides a warning signal when the inverter current exceeds the current-limit warning level. This operates on a pulse-by-pulse scheme and resets automatically with the next input signal.

Can the module be used for load current regulation?

No, the short-circuit protection is intended primarily to protect against distraction faults. For load current regulation or overload control, the analogue current output feature or the CL warning feature should be used instead.
