Mitsubishi PM100RSE060 | High-Integration 600V/100A CIB IGBT Module
The Mitsubishi PM100RSE060 is a highly integrated Power Integrated Module (PIM) designed to streamline the development of low-to-mid-power motor control and power conversion systems. By combining a three-phase converter bridge, a three-phase inverter, and a brake chopper into a single compact package, this module offers engineers a robust, space-saving, and thermally efficient solution for demanding applications.
Technical Deep Dive: CSTBT™ and CIB Integration
The exceptional performance of the PM100RSE060 is rooted in two core Mitsubishi technologies. Firstly, it utilizes Mitsubishi CSTBT™ (Carrier Stored Trench-gate Bipolar Transistor) technology for the inverter and chopper IGBTs. This advanced silicon design creates a carrier storage layer beneath the trench gate, which significantly lowers the on-state voltage drop (VCE(sat)). The direct engineering benefit is a marked reduction in conduction losses, leading to higher operational efficiency and lower heat dissipation—a critical factor in compact drive designs.
Secondly, its Converter-Inverter-Brake (CIB) topology represents a significant leap in system integration. Consolidating the AC-DC rectifier, braking circuit, and DC-AC inverter into one PIM (Power Integrated Module) dramatically reduces the component count, simplifies PCB layout, and minimizes parasitic inductance between stages. This integration not only shrinks the overall system footprint but also enhances electrical performance and reliability by reducing stray inductances that can cause voltage overshoots during switching.
Engineered for Performance in Demanding Applications
The unique feature set of the Mitsubishi PM100RSE060 makes it an ideal choice for several key industrial applications:
- Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): In VFDs up to 22kW, the all-in-one CIB design accelerates time-to-market by providing a pre-validated power stage. Its low loss profile ensures high efficiency, reducing operating costs and heatsink requirements.
- Robotic Servo Drives: The module's compact footprint is essential for space-constrained robotic arms and controllers. The precise switching characteristics enabled by the CSTBT™ technology are fundamental for the high-accuracy torque and speed control needed in robotic servo drives.
- Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): The integrated NTC thermistor provides critical real-time temperature feedback, allowing for active thermal management. This enhances the long-term reliability and operational safety of UPS systems where uptime is non-negotiable.

Strategic Advantage in Modern Power Electronics
In an industry driven by miniaturization and efficiency, the PM100RSE060 delivers a distinct strategic advantage. By moving from discrete components to an integrated module, designers can significantly reduce assembly costs, shorten development cycles, and improve the overall reliability of their final product. This module is more than just a component; it is a foundational building block for modern, high-density IGBT Modules, enabling engineers to meet increasingly stringent energy standards and market demands for compact, powerful systems.
Engineer's FAQ for the PM100RSE060
- What are the key thermal management considerations for this PIM?
Effective thermal management is crucial. A properly sized heatsink with low thermal resistance is paramount. Ensure uniform mounting pressure and the use of a high-quality thermal interface material (TIM). Most importantly, leverage the built-in NTC thermistor by connecting it to your system's microcontroller to enable over-temperature protection and dynamic performance derating.
- Is a negative gate voltage required for reliable turn-off?
While the module can operate with a 0V turn-off signal, using a negative gate voltage (e.g., -5V to -10V) is strongly recommended for industrial applications. This practice significantly enhances noise immunity, preventing spurious turn-on caused by high dV/dt during the switching of other devices in the bridge, thereby preventing catastrophic shoot-through failures.
