IM393 IPM Technical Description
Internal components and package technology
2.3
Thermistor
All IM393-XX IPMs have internal thermistors to sense the module temperature. Figure 2 shows the correlation
between NTC temperature (T
TH
) and the thermistor output voltage which can be used to set the threshold for
over-temperature protection.

Thermistor temperature (or voltage reading) can then be linked to the IGBT junction temperature. The V
TH
can
be used as a microcontroller input to monitor IGBT junction temperature during operation.
