STMicroelectronics STGIPQ5C60T-HL

Overview

STGIPQ5C60T-HL from STMicroelectronics is a 3-phase intelligent power module (IPM) integrating six short-circuit rugged 600 V, 5 A trench-gate fieldstop IGBTs with freewheeling diodes, three high-voltage half-bridge gate drivers, an uncommitted op-amp, and a fault comparator - all in a single N2DIP-26L package. It delivers compact motor drive capability for built-in appliance applications including refrigerator compressors and kitchen hood fans.

For engineers reviewing the STGIPQ5C60T-HL datasheet, STGIPQ5C60T-HL pinout, STGIPQ5C60T-HL application, or STGIPQ5C60T-HL equivalent, this IPM supports TTL/CMOS logic inputs (3.3 V/5 V/15 V), provides ±2 kV HBM ESD protection, features integrated NTC thermistor monitoring, and enables direct MCU coupling without optocouplers.

Technical Context

This IPM implements three independent half-bridge gate drivers with bootstrap-based high-side biasing (Vboot up to 620 V), interlocking logic to prevent shoot-through, and 180 ns programmable dead time. Each driver integrates undervoltage lockout for both VCC (12 V turn-on threshold) and Vboot (11.5 V turn-on threshold).

The embedded op-amp (input offset voltage ≤6 mV, GBWP 8–12 MHz) and comparator (0.54 V internal reference, 90–130 ns delay) support real-time current sensing and fast overcurrent shutdown - with dedicated T/SD/OD pins serving dual roles as NTC terminals, active-low shutdown inputs, and open-drain fault outputs.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

The STGIPQ5C60T-HL uses the N2DIP-26L type L package: a 32.2 mm × 12.5 mm molded module with exposed metal baseplate for direct heatsink attachment, 26-pin leadframe, and integrated isolation barrier. Pin 1 (GND) and pin 26 (NW) are electrically isolated from the baseplate, which connects internally to GND.

FAQ

What is the maximum recommended PWM frequency for STGIPQ5C60T-HL?

The datasheet specifies 25 kHz as the recommended maximum PWM frequency under normal operating conditions (TC ≤ 100 °C). This limit balances switching losses, thermal performance, and EMI compliance. At higher frequencies, junction temperature must be carefully monitored using the RthJC = 9.2 °C/W value and transient thermal impedance curves to avoid exceeding TJ(max) = 150 °C.

How does the T/SD/OD pin function in shutdown versus NTC monitoring modes?

The T/SD/OD pin operates in three distinct modes: as an NTC thermistor terminal (connected internally to GND), as an active-low shutdown input (pulling below 0.8 V disables all outputs), and as an open-drain fault output (driven low during overcurrent or UVLO). Mode selection is determined by external circuitry - no configuration register or command is required.

Can the integrated op-amp be used for voltage sensing instead of current sensing?

Yes - the op-amp's rail-to-rail input/output and 14.7 V VOH allow direct use in DC bus voltage monitoring, phase voltage feedback, or auxiliary supply regulation. Its 6 mV input offset and 8–12 MHz GBWP support accurate, wideband measurements; however, external resistive dividers must scale input voltages within the -0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V common-mode range.

What is the purpose of the separate NU, NV, and NW pins instead of a single N terminal?

The individual NU, NV, and NW pins isolate the negative DC path for each phase leg, minimizing shared impedance and preventing cross-talk between phases during high di/dt switching events. This separation improves current measurement accuracy, reduces EMI coupling, and enhances fault containment - critical for reliable operation in multi-motor or multi-zone appliance systems.
