Product details
Overview
IRSM516-076PA from Infineon Technologies is a 600V, 4A 3-phase integrated power module (IPM) for small-appliance motor drives. It integrates six Trench IGBTs with low 1.7V VCE(sat), three half-bridge high-voltage gate drivers, bootstrap circuitry, and under-voltage lockout across all channels. Designed for energy-efficient fans and pumps, it supports 3.3V logic inputs and delivers optimized dV/dt for EMI reduction.
For engineers reviewing the IRSM516-076PA datasheet, IRSM516-076PA pinout, IRSM516-076PA application, or IRSM516-076PA equivalent, key selection criteria include its DIP23 package, open-emitter configuration for shunt current sensing, 1900VRMS isolation rating, and absence of integrated NTC thermistor-distinguishing it from IRSM506-076 variants.
Technical Context
This IPM implements three independent half-bridge HVICs with matched propagation delay (0.7–1.5 µs turn-on/turn-off), advanced input filtering, and shoot-through protection. Each channel features separate VB/VCC supplies and logic-compatible HIN/LIN inputs referenced to COM.
The module uses open-emitter outputs (VR1–VR3, U/VS1–W/VS3) enabling single-leg or phase-leg shunt current sensing. Its rugged design targets PM motor control in appliances with DC bus up to 480V and PWM carrier frequency ≤20 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE(sat) | 1.7 V max at 25°C, 1A - enables low conduction loss in 4A-rated motor drive stage |
| VISO | 1900 VRMS, 1 min - provides reinforced isolation for mains-connected appliance systems |
| IO | 4.0 A DC per IGBT - supports continuous operation in fan/pump inverters up to ~150W |
| TJ Range | −40 to +150°C - ensures reliability in enclosed, thermally constrained appliance enclosures |
| dV/dt Rating | Optimized trade-off - reduces EMI without sacrificing switching speed or efficiency |
| Logic Compatibility | 3.3 V input threshold - interfaces directly with modern MCU GPIO without level shifting |
| Dead Time | 400 ns internal - prevents cross-conduction in 3-phase bridge without external timing circuitry |
Pinout & Package
DIP23 package: 23-pin dual-in-line, creepage-optimized for industrial appliance PCB layouts with isolated high-side floating supplies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 COM | Logic ground reference | Common return for all low-side driver logic and input signals |
| 2 VB1 / 7 VB2 / 12 VB3 | High-side floating supply pins | Provide isolated gate drive voltage for each upper IGBT via bootstrap diodes |
| 3 VCC1 / 8 VCC2 / 13 VCC3 | Low-side & logic supply pins | 15 V supply for low-side drivers and input logic circuitry per phase |
| 4 HIN1 / 9 HIN2 / 14 HIN3 | High-side gate input | 3.3 V–compatible TTL/CMOS inputs controlling upper IGBTs |
| 5 LIN1 / 10 LIN2 / 15 LIN3 | Low-side gate input | Directly drive lower IGBTs with matched propagation delay to HIN |
| 11 VTH | Thermistor output | Not connected - confirms IRSM516-076 lacks integrated NTC (vs. IRSM506-076) |
| 17 V+ | DC bus positive input | Accepts up to 480 V DC bus - connects to PFC or rectified AC input |
| 18 U/VS1 / 21 V/VS2 / 23 W/VS3 | High-side output & floating supply offset | Deliver phase outputs while providing VS reference for respective VB pins |
| 19 VR1 / 20 VR2 / 22 VR3 | Low-side emitter outputs | Open-emitter configuration enables precise shunt-based current sensing per leg |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bootstrap diodes | Eliminates external bootstrap components and reduces BOM count in compact fan drive designs |
| Matched propagation delay | Ensures symmetrical timing across all six gate drivers - critical for balanced 3-phase PWM |
| Advanced input filter with shoot-through protection | Prevents simultaneous high/low side conduction even during fast transient noise events |
| Rugged driver tolerant to −VS | Withstands negative transients on high-side floating rails - improves reliability in noisy motor environments |
| Optimized dV/dt characteristics | Reduces conducted EMI without requiring large external snubbers or ferrites |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-phase motor drive applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRSM506-076PA | Includes integrated NTC thermistor (R25 = 47 kΩ); identical pinout and electrical specs otherwise | Required where real-time junction temperature monitoring is needed for thermal foldback or overtemperature shutdown | Select when thermal feedback is mandatory; otherwise IRSM516-076PA offers cost and layout simplicity |
| FAM68126A | 600V/5A IPM with built-in current sense amplifier; different pinout (24-pin DIP); no internal dead time | Supports analog current feedback without external op-amps; requires external dead-time generation | Choose for designs needing integrated current sensing; avoid if pin compatibility or internal dead time is required |
Compared with IRSM506-076PA, IRSM516-076PA removes thermal sensing to reduce cost and complexity in fixed-thermal-margin applications; versus FAM68126A, it trades current-sense integration for guaranteed shoot-through immunity and simpler control interface.

FAQ
What is the maximum DC bus voltage supported by IRSM516-076PA?
The IRSM516-076PA supports a recommended maximum DC bus voltage of 480 V, aligned with its 600 V IGBT blocking rating and internal isolation design. Absolute maximum VCE is rated at 600 V, but sustained operation above 480 V is not advised due to derating requirements for thermal and reliability margins in appliance environments.
Does IRSM516-076PA require external bootstrap capacitors?
No - the module integrates internal bootstrap diodes and supports standard external bootstrap capacitors (typically 0.1–0.22 µF ceramic) connected between VBx and VSx pins. The internal diode eliminates need for discrete bootstrap diodes, reducing component count and board area in fan and pump inverter designs.
Can IRSM516-076PA be used with 5 V logic controllers?
Yes - its HIN/LIN inputs are 3.3 V compatible with 5 V-tolerant operation (input range 0–5 V), allowing direct interface with legacy 5 V MCUs. Input thresholds are 2.2 V (rising) and 0.8 V (falling), ensuring reliable switching without external level-shifting circuitry.
How does the open-emitter configuration benefit current sensing?
The VR1–VR3 pins provide direct access to low-side IGBT emitters, enabling precise shunt resistor placement between emitter and COM. This configuration avoids parasitic inductance from shared power paths and supports both single-shunt (per-phase) and three-shunt sensing topologies with minimal signal distortion.
