STMicroelectronics STGIF10CH60S-L

Overview

STGIF10CH60S-L from STMicroelectronics is a 3-phase intelligent power module (IPM) integrating short-circuit-rugged 600 V / 15 A trench-gate field-stop IGBTs, high- and low-side gate drivers, bootstrap diodes, temperature sensor, and fault protection circuitry in a fully isolated SDIP2F-26L package. It delivers hard-switching motor inverter operation up to 20 kHz for AC induction and PMSM drives in home appliances and industrial equipment.

For engineers reviewing the STGIF10CH60S-L datasheet, STGIF10CH60S-L pinout, STGIF10CH60S-L application, or STGIF10CH60S-L equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1600 Vrms isolation rating, smart shutdown architecture with <24 µs overcurrent response, integrated TFS IGBTs with 5 µs short-circuit withstand time, and TTL/CMOS-compatible 3.3 V/5 V logic inputs with built-in pull-downs.

Technical Context

This IPM implements dual control ICs - one dedicated high-side driver (HS) and one low-side driver (LS) - each featuring undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis (VCCH UV threshold: 11.5 V typ., hysteresis 1.4 V; VBS UV threshold: 11 V typ., hysteresis 1.0 V) and internal bootstrap diodes eliminating external diode placement.

The module integrates a comparator-based overcurrent protection system with CIN input, open-drain SD/OD fault output, and smart shutdown logic that forces all LVGx outputs low within ≤24 µs of fault detection - independent of external RC timing - while simultaneously asserting SD. Temperature sensing is provided via analog voltage output (TSO) calibrated at 1.16 V @ 25 °C with ±0.185 V span over −40 to 125 °C case range.

FAQ

What is the maximum recommended PWM frequency for STGIF10CH60S-L?

The device is characterized and qualified for hard-switching operation up to 20 kHz at full load and 125 °C case temperature. Operating beyond this frequency increases switching losses and thermal stress, potentially violating the 5 µs short-circuit withstand specification and accelerating degradation of the internal bootstrap diodes. For 25 kHz+ applications, derating or forced-air cooling is required.

How does the smart shutdown function differ from conventional SD-based protection?

Unlike standard shutdown inputs that require external RC timing to set fault hold duration, STGIF10CH60S-L's smart shutdown asserts internal gate disable within ≤24 µs of comparator trigger - independent of SD pin RC - while simultaneously driving SD/OD low. This separates fault detection speed from restart delay, allowing long RC time constants for safe cooldown without compromising protection latency.

Can STGIF10CH60S-L be used with 3.3 V-only microcontrollers without level shifting?

Yes. Its HIN/LIN inputs accept 3.3 V TTL/CMOS logic directly: V_IL = 0.8 V max and V_IH = 2.0 V min ensure reliable recognition of 3.3 V signals, and internal 100 kΩ pull-down resistors prevent floating inputs. No external level shifters or biasing networks are needed for standard 3.3 V MCU interfaces.

What is the purpose of the CIN pin and how is its threshold set?

CIN is the comparator input for overcurrent detection, referenced internally to a 510 mV ±50 mV precision bandgap voltage. When connected to a shunt resistor, it triggers shutdown if sensed voltage exceeds this threshold - e.g., a 10 mΩ shunt yields 51 A trip point. The comparator remains active even during V_CC UVLO (down to 4 V), ensuring fault coverage across supply transients.
