Product details
Overview
AIKB50N65DF5ATMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 650 V, 50 A automotive-grade TRENCHSTOP™ 5 IGBT in TO-247-4L package with integrated anti-parallel diode and low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = 1.6 V @ TC = 25 °C, IC = 50 A), optimized for high-efficiency main inverters and auxiliary inverters in electric and hybrid vehicles. It delivers fast switching (tf = 38 ns), low switching losses, and robust short-circuit ruggedness (10 µs @ 150 °C).
For engineers reviewing the AIKB50N65DF5ATMA1 datasheet, AIKB50N65DF5ATMA1 pinout, AIKB50N65DF5ATMA1 application in traction inverters or HV auxiliary drives, or AIKB50N65DF5ATMA1 equivalent for 650 V/50 A automotive IGBT replacement, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mapping, and confirmed alternatives aligned to ISO 26262-compliant powertrain designs.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs Infineon's TRENCHSTOP™ 5 trench-gate field-stop technology, enabling simultaneous reduction of conduction and switching losses. Its 4-pin TO-247-4L layout separates emitter sensing (ES) from power emitter (E), supporting precise gate drive control and minimizing Miller-induced shoot-through risk in 3-phase bridge configurations.
The device is qualified per AEC-Q101, supports 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and features positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) for inherent current sharing in parallel operation - critical for scalable inverter modules used in BEV main inverters and e-compressor drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 650 V - Supports 400–450 V nominal battery systems with ≥1.4× DC-link overvoltage margin for regenerative braking transients. |
| IC (TC = 25 °C) | 50 A - Rated continuous collector current at case temperature 25 °C; derates to ~32 A at TC = 100 °C for sustained inverter operation. |
| VCE(sat) | 1.6 V @ IC = 50 A, Tj = 25 °C - Low conduction loss enables >98.5% inverter efficiency at medium load in 10–50 kW auxiliary inverters. |
| tf | 38 ns @ Tj = 150 °C - Fast fall time reduces turn-off energy (Eoff = 1.1 mJ), critical for <20 kHz PWM in HVAC e-compressors. |
| SC capability | 10 µs @ VCE = 650 V, Tj = 150 °C - Enables robust fault handling without external desaturation circuitry in ASIL-C motor control loops. |
| Package | TO-247-4L - 4-pin configuration isolates emitter sense (ES) for Kelvin-source gate driving, improving switching stability under high di/dt. |
Pinout & Package
AIKB50N65DF5ATMA1 uses the TO-247-4L package: insulated metal tab (collector), three isolated leads (gate, emitter sense, power emitter), and integral fast-recovery anti-parallel diode. Thermal resistance RthJC = 0.45 K/W enables direct heatsink mounting with minimal thermal interface layers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C | Collector | Main high-side power terminal; connected to DC-link positive in half-bridge leg; electrically tied to metal tab for low-inductance thermal path. |
| G | Gate | Control input for IGBT channel; requires ±20 V rating and <100 nF gate capacitance (Cies = 9.5 nF) for stable 50 kHz switching. |
| ES | Emitter Sense | Kelvin connection to emitter source; referenced by gate driver for accurate VGE control, eliminating PCB trace inductance impact on switching. |
| E | Power Emitter | Main current return path; carries full load current (50 A); routed separately from ES to preserve sensing integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TRENCHSTOP™ 5 technology | Enables 20% lower total switching loss vs. prior-generation IGBTs at 10 kHz, directly extending BEV range by reducing inverter thermal load. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 650 V, 50 A automotive IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGW50H65DF2 | Higher VCE(sat) = 1.85 V; slower tf = 55 ns; no Kelvin emitter; TO-247-3L package. | Lacks emitter sensing, limiting suitability for high-di/dt auxiliary inverters requiring tight gate control. | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-ASIL applications where gate drive simplicity outweighs efficiency gain. |
| IXYS IXYP50N65C5 | Co-packaged diode with higher trr = 340 ns; no AEC-Q101 qualification; higher RthJC = 0.55 K/W. | Not automotive-qualified; unsuitable for main inverter or HV auxiliary systems per OEM requirements. | Acceptable only for industrial 3-phase drives with relaxed safety and lifetime requirements. |
Compared with STGW50H65DF2 and IXYP50N65C5, AIKB50N65DF5ATMA1 uniquely combines Kelvin-source control, AEC-Q101 qualification, and lowest VCE(sat) in its class - making it the only choice for ASIL-C/B traction and auxiliary inverters demanding both efficiency and functional safety.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for AIKB50N65DF5ATMA1?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±15 V risks irreversible gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –8 V for turn-off to ensure robust noise immunity and prevent Miller-induced false triggering in high-di/dt environments typical of traction inverters.
Does AIKB50N65DF5ATMA1 require an external freewheeling diode?
No. The device integrates a co-packaged ultrafast anti-parallel diode with trr = 220 ns and soft recovery characteristics. This eliminates need for discrete diodes in standard 3-phase inverter topologies, reducing PCB area and parasitic inductance while maintaining low EMI during commutation.
How does the TO-247-4L package improve switching behavior compared to TO-247-3L?
The TO-247-4L separates emitter sense (ES) from power emitter (E), removing gate loop inductance caused by emitter current flow. This preserves gate voltage fidelity during fast switching, suppresses oscillation, and enables tighter dead-time control - essential for achieving >98% efficiency in 10–20 kHz automotive inverters.
Is AIKB50N65DF5ATMA1 compatible with standard gate drivers used for 3L IGBTs?
Yes, but emitter Kelvin connection must be utilized. Standard drivers (e.g., 1ED020I12FA2) can be used if configured for 4-pin operation: G connected to gate, ES to driver's reference, and E routed to load. Leaving ES unconnected degrades switching performance and voids AEC-Q101 reliability claims.
