Product details
Overview
IGQ120N120S7XKSA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 120 A short-circuit rugged TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT 7 optimized for high-efficiency industrial inverters and solar string inverters. It delivers VCE(sat) = 2.0 V at Tvj = 175 °C, 8 µs short-circuit withstand time, and low switching losses (Eon = 12.6 mJ, Eoff = 9.5 mJ at 175 °C), enabling compact thermal design in 3-phase motor drives and PV DC-AC conversion stages.
For engineers reviewing the IGQ120N120S7XKSA1 datasheet, IGQ120N120S7XKSA1 pinout, IGQ120N120S7XKSA1 application, or IGQ120N120S7XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include junction temperature derating, gate drive robustness under dv/dt stress, short-circuit fault handling in unidirectional power flow topologies, and compatibility with standard 15 V gate drivers in hard-switched IGBT modules.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs TRENCHSTOP™ 7 silicon technology with field-stop trench gate structure, delivering improved trade-off between conduction loss and switching speed. Its 8 µs short-circuit capability is validated at VCC ≤ 600 V, VGE = 15 V, and Tvj = 150 °C, supporting reliable overcurrent protection without external desaturation sensing in many designs.
The device features wide dv/dt controllability (tested up to 10 kV/µs) and low Cies = 17.3 nF, enabling stable operation with standard gate resistors (RG(on/off) = 1.3 Ω). Thermal resistance Rth(j–c) = 0.11–0.15 K/W supports high-power density mounting on heatsinks in industrial UPS and welding equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 1200 V - Enables use in 1000 V DC bus systems (e.g., solar string inverters, HV industrial supplies) with 20% voltage margin. |
| IC | 120 A continuous - Rated at Tc = 100 °C, suitable for 100–150 kW three-phase inverter legs with forced-air cooling. |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0 V @ Tvj = 175 °C - Minimizes conduction loss at full thermal load, reducing heatsink size vs. older IGBT generations. |
| tSC | 8 µs - Allows time for controller-based fault shutdown without destructive failure under short-circuit conditions. |
| Rth(j–c) | 0.11–0.15 K/W - Enables direct mounting to copper baseplates or heatsinks with <1.5 K/W total thermal path for 500 W dissipation. |
| Eoff | 9.5 mJ @ Tvj = 175 °C - Low turn-off energy reduces snubber requirements and improves efficiency in 16–20 kHz PWM inverters. |
| Cies | 17.3 nF - Reduces gate drive current demand and improves noise immunity in high-noise industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
IGQ120N120S7XKSA1 uses the PG-TO247-3-PLUS-NN3.7 package - a 3-pin, through-hole variant of TO-247 with extended creepage distance and enhanced thermal pad for improved solder joint reliability. The package includes an isolated emitter tab and optimized internal emitter inductance (LE = 13 nH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side power terminal | Connected to DC+ bus; rated for 1200 V blocking and 360 A pulsed current; requires low-inductance layout. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Driven by ±15 V logic; threshold VGE(th) = 5.1–6.5 V; gate charge QG = 710 nC demands ≥2 A peak driver capability. |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Low-inductance emitter path critical for accurate desat detection; internal LE = 13 nH measured 5 mm from case. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Short-circuit ruggedness | 8 µs withstand time at VCC ≤ 600 V enables single-chip overcurrent protection without external sensing in cost-sensitive inverters. |
| Wide dv/dt controllability | Validated up to 10 kV/µs - supports reliable operation in high-di/dt applications like induction heating and arc welding. |
| Low VCE(sat) at high Tvj | 2.0 V @ 175 °C - Maintains efficiency across full industrial temperature range, reducing thermal runaway risk in sealed enclosures. |
| TRENCHSTOP™ 7 silicon | Optimized carrier lifetime control yields 22.1 mJ total switching energy (Ets) at 175 °C - 15% lower than prior-gen IGBT7 devices. |
| PSPICE model availability | Official Infineon PSpice model included - enables accurate loss simulation and gate drive optimization before prototype build. |
Applications
| Solar String Inverters | Industrial Motor Drives |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW120N120CS7 | Same die, but in PG-TO247-4 package with Kelvin emitter; 15% lower VCE(sat) at 150 A due to separate sense emitter path. | Requires 4-pin gate driver layout; suited for high-precision current regulation in servo drives, not drop-in for 3-pin designs. | Select when precise current feedback and <1.8 V VCE(sat) at 175 °C are required; avoid if board redesign is prohibited. |
| IGBT7 IKA120N120S7 | Same VCE/IC rating but higher Eoff (11.2 mJ) and no short-circuit rating specified; uses older TRENCHSTOP™ 7 process variant. | Lacks validated tSC spec - unsuitable for applications requiring guaranteed fault-withstand capability without external protection. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications where short-circuit events are mitigated by upstream fusing or fast controllers. |
Compared with IKW120N120CS7 and IKA120N120S7, IGQ120N120S7XKSA1 uniquely balances short-circuit ruggedness, thermal performance, and 3-pin compatibility - making it optimal for industrial inverters where layout constraints and fault tolerance are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable turn-off?
The datasheet specifies RG(off) = 1.3 Ω for characterization, and maximum recommended RG(off) is 5.6 Ω to maintain td(off) ≤ 300 ns and Eoff increase <25% at Tvj = 175 °C. Higher values risk incomplete turn-off under high di/dt, leading to secondary breakdown.
Does IGQ120N120S7XKSA1 include an integrated anti-parallel diode?
No - this is a discrete IGBT without an integrated freewheeling diode. A separate ultrafast soft-recovery diode (e.g., IDH120N120C7) must be used in antiparallel configuration for inductive load commutation in inverter legs.
Is the PG-TO247-3-PLUS-NN3.7 package RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - per Infineon's product compliance documentation (Doc-ID: 1010277), IGQ120N120S7XKSA1 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is certified halogen-free (IEC 61249-2-21 compliant), with lead-free matte tin plating on leads.
Can this IGBT operate reliably at Tvj = 175 °C continuously?
Yes - the absolute maximum Tvj is 175 °C, and all key parameters (VCE(sat), Eoff, tSC) are fully characterized at that temperature. However, Infineon recommends limiting steady-state operation to ≤150 °C for >10-year reliability in industrial applications.
