STMicroelectronics has introduced the STGI15C60S, the first device in its new SLLIMM Compact intelligent power module family. This 600 V, 20 A three-phase IGBT inverter module delivers a significantly smaller footprint while maintaining high thermal performance and comprehensive protection features for motor-drive applications.
STMicroelectronics STGI15C60S SLLIMM Compact 600V 20A IGBT module
Key Characteristics
- Voltage / Current rating: 600 V, 20 A three-phase IGBT inverter
- Footprint: 18.8 mm × 32.8 mm — more than 30% smaller than comparable DBC packages
- Substrate: Direct-bonded copper (DBC) for improved thermal performance
- Package: Fully isolated CDIPB-26L DBC with topside cooling
- Isolation rating: 2000 Vrms minimum
- Switching: Hard-switching topologies up to 20 kHz
- Integrated components:
- High-side and low-side gate-driver ICs
- Short-circuit-rugged trench-gate field-stop IGBTs
- Fast soft-recovery freewheeling diodes
- Bootstrap diode
- Protection features:
- Undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
- Smart shutdown
- Temperature sensor
- Fault comparator
- High-side reference outputs placed on the signal side to simplify bootstrap circuit design
The compact design and integrated protection functions make the STGI15C60S particularly suitable for space-constrained motor-drive applications while improving thermal management and system reliability.
Target Applications
- Industrial motor control
- Air conditioners and heat pumps
- Washing machines
- Fans, pumps and compressors
- Other home appliances and low- to medium-power motor drives
The SLLIMM Compact family is planned to expand with additional current ratings and configurations, offering designers a scalable path to smaller, more efficient power stages.
