STMicroelectronics STGIPQ5C60T-HZS

Overview

STGIPQ5C60T-HZS 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 (HVICs), an uncommitted op-amp, and a fault comparator. It delivers motor drive functionality for low-power ACIM and BLDC applications with integrated NTC thermistor interface, ±2 kV HBM ESD protection, and 1800 Vrms isolation rating.

For engineers reviewing the STGIPQ5C60T-HZS datasheet, STGIPQ5C60T-HZS pinout, STGIPQ5C60T-HZS application, or STGIPQ5C60T-HZS equivalent, key selection criteria include bootstrap voltage tolerance (620 V max), TTL/CMOS-compatible 3.3/5/15 V logic inputs, interlocking dead time (180 ns), integrated current-sensing op-amp (8–12 MHz GBWP), and thermal shutdown via NTC-connected T/SD/OD pin.

Technical Context

This IPM implements a fully integrated 3-phase inverter stage with independent high-side and low-side gate driving per phase, using internal bootstrap diodes and dedicated Vboot pins (U/V/W) to sustain high-side operation. Each HVIC includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both VCC (12.5 V turn-on threshold) and Vboot (12.1 V turn-on threshold), plus interlocking logic that prevents shoot-through by enforcing minimum 180 ns dead time between complementary HIN/LIN transitions.

The control section integrates a rail-to-rail op-amp (±14.7 V output swing, 3.8 V/µs slew rate) and a comparator with 0.54 V internal reference, enabling fast overcurrent detection via external shunt resistor at CIN. Fault propagation disables U-phase outputs directly; V/W-phase disable timing depends on external RC network connected to the shared T/SD/OD pin, which also serves as NTC thermistor terminal and open-drain fault output.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

The STGIPQ5C60T-HZS uses the N2DIP-26L type L no stand-off package - a 26-pin, through-hole molded module with exposed thermal pad internally connected to GND, optimized for screw-mounted heatsink attachment and compact built-in motor designs.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable DC bus voltage for STGIPQ5C60T-HZS?

The absolute maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCES) is 600 V, and recommended operating conditions specify a 300–500 V DC bus range. Operation at 500 V is permitted with appropriate derating for temperature and switching transients; exceeding 500 V risks violating the 600 V rating under surge conditions per Table 2 and Figure 14.

How does the T/SD/OD pin function during normal operation versus fault condition?

In normal operation, T/SD/OD serves as the NTC thermistor terminal, with internal bias generating a temperature-dependent voltage (e.g., 4.5 V at 25 °C, dropping to 2.5 V at 125 °C). During overtemperature or overcurrent fault, the comparator triggers and pulls T/SD/OD low as an open-drain output, signaling the MCU while simultaneously initiating shutdown of the U-phase driver and propagating disable to V/W phases via external RC timing.

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

Yes - the op-amp's rail-to-rail input/output, 14.7 V output swing, and 70–85 dB CMRR make it suitable for DC bus voltage monitoring or motor back-EMF sampling. When configured as a unity-gain buffer or differential amplifier, it maintains accuracy across –40 to 125 °C case temperature, provided the input common-mode range (–0.3 to VCC+0.3 V) is respected and layout minimizes noise coupling.

What is the purpose of the dual N-terminal pins (NU, NV, NW) per phase?

Each phase has dedicated negative DC bus terminals (NU, NV, NW) to provide separate, low-inductance return paths for freewheeling diode current - isolating high-frequency switching currents from the main P–N DC link. This separation reduces ground bounce, improves EMI performance, and enables accurate shunt-based current measurement by minimizing interference from adjacent phase currents.
