Starpower GD50LIF060C5S IPM Module

Starpower GD50LIF060C5S IPM Module

Distributor Review/Application Interpretation

The GD50LIF060C5S is an excellent choice for HVAC inverter applications, where its integrated protection features significantly reduce system design complexity. Our application engineers have successfully deployed this module in multiple air conditioning systems, where its compact form factor and reliable operation have enabled manufacturers to reduce PCB space and improve product reliability. The built-in overcurrent and overtemperature protection has proven invaluable in preventing system failures in the field.

Key Features

  • 600V / 50A rating for HVAC and appliance applications
  • Integrated gate drivers for simplified design
  • Built-in protection: overcurrent, overtemperature, undervoltage lockout
  • Compact DIP package for space-constrained designs
  • Low electromagnetic interference (EMI) for compliance

Applications

  • Air conditioner compressors and fans
  • Washing machine motors
  • Refrigerator compressors
  • Range hood fans
  • Small industrial motor drives

FAQ

The GD50LIF060C5S includes comprehensive protection features: overcurrent protection (OCP) with adjustable threshold, overtemperature protection (OTP) that shuts down the module at 150°C, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that prevents operation when gate drive voltage is insufficient. All protection faults are reported via a fault output pin.

The module provides a dedicated fault output pin that goes low when any protection fault is detected. This signal can be connected to a microcontroller interrupt pin for fast fault response. After a fault occurs, the module must be reset by cycling the control power supply or by sending a reset command through the control interface.

Despite its compact size, the GD50LIF060C5S has good thermal performance. Mount it on an adequate heatsink with thermal resistance below 2.0°C/W for reliable operation. The module's internal temperature sensor provides overtemperature protection, but proper thermal design is still essential for long-term reliability.
