STGIB15CH60TS-X

Overview

The STGIB15CH60TS-X is a second-generation SLLIMM intelligent power module featuring a 20 A, 600 V three-phase IGBT inverter bridge. It integrates two proprietary control ICs for gate driving and freewheeling diodes within an SDIP2B-26L type X package. The device utilizes short-circuit rugged trench gate field-stop (TFS) IGBTs with very fast soft recovery diodes. Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter saturation voltage of 1.55 V at 15 A and 1.65 V at 20 A. It supports logic inputs of 3.3 V or 5 V TTL/CMOS with hysteresis and operates up to 20 kHz in hard-switching circuitries.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'X' corresponds to the SDIP2B-26L type X package configuration as documented in the official datasheet. Confirm that the required packing format matches the tube specification listed in the product summary. Ensure application designs account for the specified isolation ratings and thermal resistance values to maintain safe operating junction temperatures under maximum load conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring compact, rugged AC motor drive solutions operating up to 20 kHz. The integrated control ICs simplify design by eliminating external optocouplers. Consider the 85 kΩ NTC thermistor and TSO output for precise thermal management. Evaluate the short-circuit withstand time and smart shutdown capabilities for robust overcurrent protection strategies in industrial and appliance environments.

Part Context

This module belongs to the SLLIMM (small low-loss intelligent molded module) second series from STMicroelectronics. It combines improved IGBT technology with dedicated gate drivers to deliver high efficiency in a small footprint. The series targets cost-effective and reliable motor control systems where space constraints and switching performance are critical design factors.

FAQ

How does the smart shutdown function operate?

The device integrates a comparator that triggers immediate turn-off of the gate drivers upon detecting an overcurrent event via the CIN pin. This minimizes propagation delay compared to standard RC-based protection circuits.

What logic levels are supported for input signals?

The module accepts 3.3 V and 5 V TTL/CMOS logic inputs with hysteresis on the HINx and LINx pins, allowing direct coupling to microcontrollers without additional level shifting.

Is there an internal temperature monitoring feature?

Yes, the module includes a built-in temperature sensor providing a proportional voltage output on the TSO pin, as well as an 85 kΩ NTC thermistor accessible via terminals T1 and T2.
