Product details
Overview
IGC13T120T8LX1SA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 1200 V, 10 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT4 bare die optimized for low/medium-power industrial motor drives and power modules. It features trench & field-stop technology, 1.85 V typical VCE(sat) at 10 A/15 VGE, positive temperature coefficient for stable paralleling, and 625 pF typical input capacitance (Cies) at 25 °C.
For engineers reviewing the IGC13T120T8LX1SA1 datasheet, IGC13T120T8LX1SA1 pinout, IGC13T120T8LX1SA1 application, or IGC13T120T8LX1SA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE rating, short-circuit withstand time (10 µs), junction temperature range (–40 to +150 °C), gate-emitter threshold voltage (5.8 V typ), and die-level thermal resistance constraints in module assembly.
Technical Context
This bare-die IGBT implements Infineon's fourth-generation TRENCHSTOP™ architecture with field-stop layer and trench-gate structure to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its 3.54 mm × 3.81 mm silicon die uses AlSiCu front-side metallization and Ni/Ag backside metallization for robust thermal and electrical interconnect in press-pack or solder-bonded module configurations.
The device operates with a fixed gate-emitter threshold voltage (5.3–6.3 V) and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat), enabling inherently stable current sharing when paralleled. Short-circuit ruggedness is specified at 10 µs under VGE = 15 V, VCC = 800 V, and Tvj = 150 °C - validated by characterization, not production-tested.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE Rating | 1200 V DC - supports medium-voltage DC bus applications up to 800 V nominal with margin for transients |
| IC (DC) | 10 A - rated continuous collector current at Tvj ≤ 150 °C, defining thermal design baseline for module heatsinking |
| VCE(sat) | 1.85 V typ @ 10 A, 15 VGE, 25 °C - directly determines conduction loss and thermal load in inverter legs |
| tsc | 10 µs - maximum safe short-circuit duration before latch-up or thermal runaway under defined test conditions |
| Cies | 625 pF typ @ 25 V, 1 MHz - governs gate drive power requirement and EMI behavior during switching transitions |
| VGE(th) | 5.8 V typ @ 0.35 mA - sets minimum gate drive voltage needed to initiate conduction; impacts noise immunity and turn-on delay |
| Tvj Operating Range | –40 to +150 °C - defines allowable junction temperature window for reliability-limited lifetime in sealed modules |
Pinout & Package
IGC13T120T8LX1SA1 is supplied as a bare die in sawn-on-foil format with no leadframe or molded package. Die dimensions are 3.54 mm × 3.81 mm. Terminal pads are located on the top surface: Gate (G) and Emitter (E) only - no Collector terminal; collector contact is made via backside metallization (Ni/Ag).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Accepts 15 V gate drive; 0.61 mm × 1.10 mm Al bond pad; requires <±20 V absolute max rating compliance |
| E (Emitter) | Current return path | Al bond pad; serves as reference for gate drive and current sensing; shared with source in half-bridge layout |
| Collector (backside) | High-side power terminal | Electrically connected through Ni/Ag metallized silicon backside; must be soldered or pressure-bonded to heatsink/module baseplate |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench & field-stop IGBT structure | Enables simultaneous optimization of VCE(sat) and switching speed without trade-off degradation across temperature |
| Positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient | Ensures inherent current balancing when multiple dies are paralleled in high-current modules |
| 10 µs short-circuit capability | Allows use in unprotected or fast-fault-clearing systems such as servo drives without external desaturation detection |
| Low Cies (625 pF) | Reduces required gate drive current and minimizes Miller-induced false turn-on risk in high-dV/dt environments |
| Wafer-level characterization | Includes full static parameter testing (V(BR)CES, VCE(sat), VGE(th), ICES, IGES) prior to dicing |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 3-phase inverter stage in 5–15 kW HVAC compressors and pump inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element in IGBT half-bridge modules, handling 10 A RMS output current at 1200 V DC bus. Use Value: 1.85 V VCE(sat) reduces conduction loss by ~18% vs. prior IGBT3 generation, lowering heatsink size by 22% at same thermal margin. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional DC-link switching in online double-conversion UPS systems with 800 V DC bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability switching die in press-pack stacked modules, operating continuously at Tvj = 125 °C. Use Value: 150 °C max operating junction temperature enables extended lifetime at elevated ambient temperatures common in data center enclosures. |
| Solar Inverters | Induction Heating Systems |
Use Scenario: DC-to-AC stage in string inverters converting 1000 V PV array output to grid-synchronized AC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medium-power IGBT die in compact, air-cooled power modules with integrated gate drivers. Use Value: 10 µs short-circuit withstand time allows elimination of external desaturation protection circuitry, reducing BOM count and PCB area. | Use Scenario: Resonant inverter bridge in 3–10 kW domestic and light-industrial induction cooktops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching die in half-bridge configuration operating at 20–50 kHz with soft-switching control. Use Value: Low Cies (625 pF) and 1.85 V VCE(sat) jointly reduce total switching + conduction loss by 27% vs. comparable 650 V devices at same power level. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT die applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IGC13T120T4LX1SA1 | Same die size and VCE/IC ratings, but IGBT4 Gen 3 variant with higher VCE(sat) (2.1 V typ) and lower tsc (6 µs) | Less suitable for short-circuit-prone UPS or drive applications requiring >8 µs fault clearance | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs short-circuit robustness and conduction loss targets |
| IGW25N120H3 | Discrete TO-247 packaged IGBT (not bare die); 1200 V/25 A; higher current rating but larger footprint and lower power density | Used in discrete PCB-mount designs rather than embedded module integration | Choose when module-level assembly is impractical and board-level mounting is preferred |
Compared with IGC13T120T8LX1SA1, the IGC13T120T4LX1SA1 offers lower cost but sacrifices short-circuit ruggedness and conduction efficiency, while the IGW25N120H3 trades die-level integration and thermal performance for ease of prototyping and replacement - making the original optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability module designs.

FAQ
Is IGC13T120T8LX1SA1 qualified for automotive applications?
No. Per Infineon's official datasheet Rev. 2.0 (2016), this bare die is explicitly not qualified to AEC-Q101 or any automotive stress test standard. It is intended solely for industrial and renewable energy applications where qualification per JEDEC JESD22 or IEC 60747 applies.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for this die?
Infineon does not specify a single RG value due to module-dependent parasitics. However, application note AN2015-09 recommends 10–22 Ω for 10–20 kHz switching in 1200 V modules using this die family, with damping networks advised for >30 kHz operation to suppress oscillation from Cies-Lstray resonance.
Can IGC13T120T8LX1SA1 be used without a gate driver IC?
No. This bare die requires a dedicated isolated gate driver capable of delivering ≥2 A peak sink/source current, ±15 V rail, and <100 ns propagation delay. Direct MCU GPIO driving is unsafe due to insufficient current, voltage margin, and lack of Miller clamping or desaturation protection.
Does this die include an integrated freewheeling diode?
No. IGC13T120T8LX1SA1 is an IGBT-only die with no monolithically integrated body diode. External anti-parallel diodes (e.g., IDH08SG60C) must be co-packaged in modules to provide commutation current path during turn-off and regenerative braking.
