Infineon Technologies AUIRGP4062D-E

Overview

AUIRGP4062D-E from Infineon is an automotive-grade insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) with integrated ultrafast soft recovery diode in TO-247AD package. It delivers 600 V V_CES, 24 A continuous collector current at T_C = 100°C, and 1.60 V typical V_CE(on) at 24 A/15 V_GE/25°C - enabling high-efficiency motor control in traction inverters and on-board chargers.

For engineers reviewing the AUIRGP4062D-E datasheet, AUIRGP4062D-E pinout, AUIRGP4062D-E application, or AUIRGP4062D-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 µs short-circuit safe operating area (SCSOA), square RBSOA up to 600 V, 1.62 °C/W diode junction-to-case thermal resistance, and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101.

Technical Context

This IGBT uses trench-gate field-stop technology with positive V_CE(on) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution for robust parallel operation. Its co-packaged diode features ultrafast soft recovery (t_rr = 89 ns, I_RR = 37 A at 175°C) and low reverse recovery energy (E_rec = 624 µJ).

The device supports hard-switched topologies up to 20 kHz with low total switching loss (E_total = 901 µJ typ. at 25°C, 1260 µJ at 175°C) and full square reverse bias SOA at 175°C. Gate drive requirements are defined by Q_g = 50–75 nC and R_g-dependent switching times (e.g., t_d(off) = 104–115 ns at 25°C, 125 ns at 175°C).

FAQ

What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for AUIRGP4062D-E?

The absolute maximum continuous gate-to-emitter voltage is ±20 V, with transient rating up to ±30 V for ≤100 ns pulses. Exceeding ±20 V continuously risks permanent gate oxide damage; gate drive circuits must include clamping (e.g., Zener diodes) to maintain safe operation within this limit.

Does AUIRGP4062D-E require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?

No - the device is fully specified for 0 V to +15 V gate drive and does not require negative bias. Its positive V_CE(on) temperature coefficient and square RBSOA enable stable operation with zero-volt turn-off, simplifying gate driver design in cost-sensitive automotive modules.

How is thermal performance affected by mounting torque on the TO-247AD package?

Mounting torque must be maintained at 10 lbf·in (1.1 N·m) using 6-32 or M3 screws. Under-torque increases R_θCS beyond the specified 0.24 °C/W, raising junction temperature; over-torque risks case cracking and degrades long-term thermal interface reliability in vibration-prone automotive environments.

Can AUIRGP4062D-E replace AUIRGP4062D in existing designs?

Yes - both share identical electrical specifications and TO-247 pinout, but AUIRGP4062D-E uses TO-247AD (isolated tab) versus TO-247AC (non-isolated tab) for AUIRGP4062D. The isolated tab enables direct heatsink mounting without insulating washers, reducing thermal resistance and assembly complexity in new designs.
