STMicroelectronics STIPQ5M60T-HZ

Overview

STIPQ5M60T-HZ from STMicroelectronics is a SLLIMM™ nano 2nd series intelligent power module (IPM) - a fully integrated 3-phase inverter bridge with six N-channel MDmesh™ DM2 MOSFETs (600 V, R_DS(on) ≤ 1.0 Ω, I_D = 5 A), three half-bridge HVIC gate drivers, op-amp, comparator, NTC thermistor, and internal bootstrap diodes. It delivers compact, low-EMI motor drive solutions for built-in compressor and fan applications.

For engineers reviewing the STIPQ5M60T-HZ datasheet, STIPQ5M60T-HZ pinout, STIPQ5M60T-HZ application, or STIPQ5M60T-HZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1500 V_rms/min isolation rating, smart shutdown propagation delay (50–200 ns), 3.3/5/15 V CMOS/TTL-compatible inputs with hysteresis, integrated current-sensing op-amp (GBWP = 8–12 MHz, SR = 2.5–3.8 V/µs), and UL 1557 recognition (E81734).

Technical Context

This IPM integrates six discrete MDmesh DM2 MOSFETs with intrinsic fast-recovery diodes and three high-voltage ICs (HVICs) for independent half-bridge gate driving. Its control logic supports active-high HIN/LIN inputs, interlocking, and dead-time enforcement (180 ns typical) to prevent shoot-through. The embedded op-amp is uncommitted and rail-to-rail capable (V_OH = 14–14.7 V, V_OL = 75–150 mV), enabling custom current sensing or signal conditioning.

The fault protection architecture features a dedicated comparator with 0.5–0.58 V internal reference, directly linked to the T/SD̅̅̅̅/OD open-drain output. Smart shutdown bypasses external RC timing networks by triggering immediate gate driver disable upon comparator trip - achieving sub-250 ns total fault-to-shutdown latency. NTC thermistor is internally connected in parallel with the SD̅̅̅̅ pull-down network (R_{PD_SD} = 125 kΩ), enabling temperature monitoring without external components.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

The STIPQ5M60T-HZ uses the N2DIP-26L type Z package - a 26-pin, through-hole, insulated double-inline package with integrated heatsink mounting interface and creepage/clearance optimized for UL 1557 compliance. Pin layout supports screw-on heatsink attachment and minimizes PCB trace inductance for high-frequency switching.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable DC bus voltage for STIPQ5M60T-HZ?

The absolute maximum drain-source voltage (V_DSS) is 600 V per MOSFET, and the recommended operating DC bus voltage (V_PN) is 300–500 V. Exceeding 500 V risks exceeding safe operating area limits under transient conditions, especially during inductive load switching. The device's 1500 V_rms/min isolation rating applies only to creepage/clearance between power pins and heatsink - not to sustained overvoltage on the P–N terminals.

How does the smart shutdown function differ from conventional overcurrent protection?

Unlike traditional shutdown circuits that rely on external RC networks to set delay time, STIPQ5M60T-HZ routes the comparator output directly to the gate driver logic - disabling outputs within 50–200 ns of fault detection. This eliminates timing uncertainty caused by component tolerances and temperature drift, ensuring consistent response across production units and operating conditions.

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

Yes - the op-amp is fully uncommitted and rail-to-rail (V_OH ≈ 14.7 V, V_OL ≈ 75 mV at V_CC = 15 V). It supports inverting/non-inverting configurations for DC bus voltage scaling, temperature compensation, or auxiliary signal conditioning, provided input common-mode range (–0.3 V to V_CC + 0.3 V) and output load (≥10 kΩ) constraints are observed.

What is the purpose of the dual T/SD̅̅̅̅/OD pins (pins 2 and 15)?

Pins 2 and 15 are electrically connected internally and serve identical functions: NTC thermistor terminal, active-low shutdown input, and open-drain fault output. This redundancy improves layout flexibility - allowing designers to route one pin to the MCU for shutdown control and the other to the NTC circuit, or to use both for enhanced noise immunity in high-EMI environments.
