PS12033

Overview

The Powerex PS12033 is an Application Specific Intelligent Power Module (ASIPM) integrating a three-phase IGBT inverter bridge and a rectifier bridge for AC-to-DC conversion. Rated at 5 Amperes and 1200 Volts, it incorporates high-voltage integrated circuits (HVICs) for gate drive, protection, and system control. The module supports PWM input frequencies up to 15 kHz and features built-in over-current, short-circuit, and under-voltage protection with fault output signaling. It includes a thermistor for thermal monitoring and provides analog current sensing outputs.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and manufacturer documentation when sourcing. Confirm that the intended application voltage and current requirements align with the module's absolute maximum ratings. Ensure proper mounting torque and thermal interface materials are used to maintain case operating temperatures within specified limits. Check for compatibility with DSP or CPU control signals.

Selection Notes

Select this module for small inverter applications requiring integrated power switching and control. It is suitable for designs operating up to 20 kHz. Consider the 1200V blocking voltage and 5A continuous current rating for load matching. The integrated protection features simplify design by reducing external component count. Verify thermal management capabilities for the expected junction temperature range.
