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 V_CE(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, 1900V_RMS 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
V_CE(sat)	1.7 V max at 25°C, 1A - enables low conduction loss in 4A-rated motor drive stage
V_ISO	1900 V_RMS, 1 min - provides reinforced isolation for mains-connected appliance systems
I_O	4.0 A DC per IGBT - supports continuous operation in fan/pump inverters up to ~150W
T_J 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

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

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 V_CE 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.
