STMicroelectronics STGI15C60S Compact IGBT Module Cuts Footprint for Motor Drives
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.
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.
