What this IPM does in an appliance drive
The STGIPQ5C60T-HL is a fully integrated 3-phase IGBT driver from ST's SLLIMM NANO 2nd series, combining the control, gate drive, and power stage in a single 26-DIP through-hole module. It is designed for AC synchronous motor drives in appliances such as washing machines, compressors, and fans.
Voltage rails and output stage
The module handles a load voltage up to 500 V max and operates from a 13.5 V to 18 V supply rail. The three half-bridge outputs directly drive the inverter stage, eliminating external bootstrap diodes and gate resistors for a compact PCB layout.
Package and thermal envelope
Housed in a 26-pin DIP module (26-N2DIP), the through-hole package simplifies heatsinking and wave-solder assembly. The junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C covers the thermal cycling seen in enclosed appliance power stages.
