Product details
Overview
APT40GT60BRG from Microchip is a 600 V, 40 A N-channel IGBT in TO-247 package with 2.0 V typical VCE(on) at 25 °C and co-packaged with a high-speed DQ-series fast recovery diode. It delivers low conduction loss and robust hard-switching performance up to 80 kHz in industrial motor drives and UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the APT40GT60BRG datasheet, APT40GT60BRG pinout, APT40GT60BRG application, or APT40GT60BRG equivalent, this part supports high-efficiency 600 V switching in PFC stages, DC-AC inverters, and industrial SMPS where thermal stability, short-circuit ruggedness, and diode commutation dv/dt capability are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
This IGBT uses Power MOS 8™ non-punch-through (NPT) technology optimized for high-speed switching and low gate charge. Its integrated DQ diode provides soft recovery with <100 ns reverse recovery time and high commutation dv/dt ruggedness.
The device operates with 1.9 V nominal gate threshold voltage and supports 150 °C maximum junction temperature. It is rated for 10 µs short-circuit withstand time at Tj = 150 °C and VCC = 400 V, enabling reliable operation in fault-prone power conversion topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE(max) | 600 V - Supports DC bus voltages up to 400 V with 50% safety margin in hard-switched converters. |
| IC (continuous) | 40 A at TC = 86 °C - Enables compact heatsink design in 3–5 kW industrial inverters. |
| VCE(on) | 2.0 V typical at IC = 40 A, Tj = 25 °C - Reduces conduction loss to ~80 W at full load, improving system efficiency. |
| Eoff | 1.2 mJ at IC = 40 A, VCC = 400 V, RG = 22 Ω - Enables 80 kHz switching in ZVS-capable topologies without excessive loss penalty. |
| tsc | 10 µs at VCC = 400 V, Tj = 150 °C - Allows time for external protection circuitry to respond during overcurrent events. |
| Diode trr | <100 ns - Minimizes voltage overshoot and EMI during freewheeling commutation in bridge-leg configurations. |
Pinout & Package
APT40GT60BRG is housed in a standard TO-247 package with isolated mounting base, offering low thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.55 °C/W) and compatibility with industry-standard heatsink interfaces.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side current path | Connected to DC+ bus; rated for 600 V blocking and 40 A continuous conduction. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Requires 15 V ±1 V drive; 1.9 V VGE(th) enables TTL/CMOS-compatible gate drivers. |
| Emitter (E) | Current return and reference node | Serves as common emitter for IGBT and anode for co-packaged DQ diode; must be low-inductance layout. |
| Diode Cathode (K) | Fast recovery diode output | Internally connected to collector; provides bidirectional current path in half-bridge freewheeling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APT40GR65B | 650 V rating, 1.9 V VCE(on), same TO-247 package but no co-packaged diode. | Requires external diode; better suited for designs needing independent diode optimization or higher voltage margin. | Select when board space allows separate diode placement and 650 V blocking is required for 450 V DC bus. |
| APT40GN60BG | 600 V field-stop IGBT, 1.5 V VCE(on), lower conduction loss but no integrated diode. | Lacks co-packaged diode; optimized for lowest conduction loss in unidirectional topologies like buck converters. | Choose for highest efficiency in single-switch configurations where diode is externally selected for specific recovery needs. |
Compared with APT40GT60BRG, APT40GR65B offers higher voltage headroom but requires additional layout area and BOM count for the diode, while APT40GN60BG delivers lower conduction loss but forfeits the thermal and timing alignment benefits of monolithic integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate-emitter voltage for APT40GT60BRG?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage for APT40GT60BRG is ±20 V. Operation above +15 V or below −5 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable switching, use +15 V turn-on and −5 V to −8 V turn-off bias with a series gate resistor of 10–22 Ω to control dV/dt and prevent oscillation. This ensures robust operation across temperature and lifetime for APT40GT60BRG.
Does APT40GT60BRG include an integrated diode, and what type is it?
Yes, APT40GT60BRG integrates a high-speed DQ-series fast recovery diode in the same TO-247 package. This diode features soft recovery, <100 ns reverse recovery time, and high commutation dv/dt ruggedness-specifically designed to pair with the IGBT's switching characteristics. The co-packaging ensures matched thermal behavior and eliminates layout mismatch issues that affect discrete IGBT+diode solutions. This integration is intrinsic to APT40GT60BRG.
What is the short-circuit withstand time specification for APT40GT60BRG?
APT40GT60BRG is rated for 10 µs short-circuit withstand time at VCC = 400 V and Tj = 150 °C. This value is measured under standardized test conditions per JEDEC JESD22-A109 and reflects guaranteed safe operation before thermal runaway. System-level protection must trigger within this window. This specification is confirmed in the official APT40GT60BRG datasheet and applies directly to APT40GT60BRG.
Can APT40GT60BRG be paralleled with other IGBTs, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, APT40GT60BRG supports easy paralleling due to its positive VCE(on) temperature coefficient, which promotes natural current sharing. Key design requirements include matched gate drive impedance (<5% variation), symmetrical PCB layout with identical trace lengths, and shared heatsink mounting to minimize thermal gradients. These practices ensure balanced current distribution across multiple APT40GT60BRG units in high-power modules.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for APT40GT60BRG?
The junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) for APT40GT60BRG is 0.55 °C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions with proper mounting pressure and thermal interface material. This value enables accurate heatsink sizing for continuous 40 A operation at TC = 86 °C. It is a fixed thermal property of the TO-247 package and applies uniformly across all APT40GT60BRG units.
