Infineon Technologies AUIRGPS4067D1

Overview

AUIRGPS4067D1 from Infineon Technologies is an automotive-grade insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) with integrated ultrafast soft-recovery diode in a PG-TO274-3-903 package. It delivers 600 V V_CES, 160 A continuous collector current at T_C = 100°C, and 1.70 V typical V_CE(on) at 120 A/15 V_GE/25°C, enabling high-efficiency motor control in electric power steering and on-board chargers.

For engineers reviewing the AUIRGPS4067D1 datasheet, AUIRGPS4067D1 pinout, AUIRGPS4067D1 application, or AUIRGPS4067D1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6 µs short-circuit safe operating area (SCSOA), square RBSOA, 0.20 °C/W IGBT junction-to-case thermal resistance, and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101.

Technical Context

This IGBT employs trench-gate field-stop technology with positive V_CE(on) temperature coefficient and low switching losses optimized for 8–20 kHz operation in traction inverters and DC-DC converters. Its co-packaged diode features soft reverse recovery (t_rr = 360 ns, I_RR = 53 A at 175°C) and low E_rec = 2440 µJ to minimize EMI and voltage overshoot.

The device supports robust parallel operation via excellent current sharing (square RBSOA), 100% production-tested I_LM clamped inductive load capability (480 A), and stable gate threshold (V_GE(th) = 4.0–6.5 V, -17 mV/°C tempco) across -55°C to +175°C junction range.

FAQ

What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for AUIRGPS4067D1?

The absolute maximum continuous gate-to-emitter voltage is ±20 V, with transient rating up to ±30 V for ≤1 µs pulses. Exceeding ±20 V continuously risks gate oxide degradation; gate drivers must clamp to this limit using Zener diodes or active regulation. The device's gate threshold voltage (4.0–6.5 V) and transconductance (85 S) are specified within this safe operating window.

Does AUIRGPS4067D1 require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?

No, reliable turn-off is achieved with 0 V gate bias; however, applying –5 V to –10 V improves noise immunity and dV/dt ruggedness in high-noise inverter environments. The device's gate threshold (4.0–6.5 V) and negative V_GE rating (–20 V) support this practice without risk of damage, and data shows no improvement in t_f or E_off beyond –5 V.

How is the 480 A I_LM rating validated and what does it mean for system design?

The 480 A I_LM (clamped inductive load current) is 100% production-tested per Infineon's qualification standards, using V_GE = 20 V, L = 0.87 µH, and R_G = 50 Ω. This validates the device's ability to survive worst-case motor stall events without secondary breakdown, allowing designers to size snubbers and protection circuits based on this hard-clamped current rather than theoretical peak estimates.

Can AUIRGPS4067D1 be paralleled with other units, and what layout considerations apply?

Yes, its positive V_CE(on) temperature coefficient and square RBSOA enable stable parallel operation. Layout requires matched gate loop inductance (<10 nH difference), symmetrical power path lengths, and individual gate resistors (4.7 Ω typical). Thermal coupling via shared heatsink is recommended to ensure uniform junction temperature, and current imbalance remains <10% under full-load conditions per Infineon application note AN-1086.
