Product details

Overview

IGW20N60H3FKSA1 from Infineon is a 600 V, 20 A high-speed IGBT in Trench and Fieldstop technology with 1.95 V V_CE(sat) at T_vj = 25°C, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and PG-TO247-3 package - designed for high-frequency switching in industrial power converters and UPS systems.

For engineers reviewing the IGW20N60H3FKSA1 datasheet, IGW20N60H3FKSA1 pinout, IGW20N60H3FKSA1 application, or IGW20N60H3FKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include soft fast-recovery anti-parallel diode behavior, low EMI profile, 5 µs short-circuit withstand time at 150°C, and thermal resistance R_th(j–c) = 0.88 K/W for heatsink-integrated designs.

Technical Context

This third-generation High Speed Switching Series IGBT uses TRENCHSTOP™ architecture to simultaneously minimize conduction loss (V_CE(sat) = 1.95 V) and switching loss (E_off = 0.24 mJ at 25°C), while maintaining robust short-circuit ruggedness (t_SC = 5 µs, ≤1000 cycles).

Its dynamic performance is optimized for hard-switched topologies operating up to 100 kHz: input capacitance C_ies = 1100 pF, gate charge Q_G = 120 nC, and internal emitter inductance L_E = 13 nH enable precise gate drive design with minimal oscillation risk.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CE	600 V - supports DC bus voltages up to 400 V in industrial inverters with margin for voltage transients
I_C	20 A continuous - rated for sustained conduction at T_C = 100°C, enabling compact thermal design
V_CE(sat)	1.95 V at T_vj = 25°C - reduces conduction losses by ~25% vs. prior generation, improving efficiency in 10–50 kHz converters
t_SC	5 µs at V_GE = 15 V, T_vj = 150°C - enables reliable overcurrent protection without external desaturation detection in most UPS/welding applications
R_th(j–c)	0.88 K/W - allows direct mounting to heatsinks with predictable thermal drop, simplifying thermal interface material selection
E_off	0.24 mJ at 25°C - enables higher switching frequencies while maintaining <1 W switching loss at 20 kHz with 20 A load
C_res	32 pF - low Miller capacitance improves gate drive stability and reduces dv/dt-induced turn-on risk

Pinout & Package

Supplied in PG-TO247-3 package: isolated metal tab (collector), three leads - Gate (G), Collector (C), Emitter (E). Package meets JEDEC TO-247 mechanical standards with 0.6 Nm M3 mounting torque rating.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
G	Gate control terminal	Accepts ±20 V gate-emitter voltage; threshold V_GE(th) = 4.1–5.7 V ensures noise immunity in industrial EMI environments
C	Collector (high-side switch node)	Connected to DC bus or transformer primary; electrically isolated metal tab serves as thermal path and high-current return
E	Emitter (low-side reference)	Serves as power ground reference and current sense node; internal emitter inductance L_E = 13 nH impacts gate loop stability

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
TRENCHSTOP™ technology	Enables simultaneous low V_CE(sat) (1.95 V) and low E_off (0.24 mJ), reducing total power loss in hard-switched converters
Soft, fast-recovery anti-parallel diode	Minimizes reverse recovery charge Q_rr and associated voltage overshoot - critical for snubberless operation in welding inverters
175°C maximum junction temperature	Supports derated operation at elevated ambient temperatures without forced cooling, extending reliability in enclosed UPS cabinets
Pb-free lead plating / RoHS compliant	Meets industrial environmental compliance requirements without compromising solder joint integrity at 260°C wave soldering
JEDEC-qualified for industrial applications	Validated for 1000+ short-circuit events with ≥1 s recovery interval - eliminates need for redundant fault-handling circuitry

Applications

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

Industrial Welding Converters

Use Scenario: Online double-conversion UPS delivering clean 50/60 Hz AC output from rectified DC bus under mains failure.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side IGBT in full-bridge inverter stage, switching at 16–20 kHz to synthesize sinusoidal output waveform.

Use Value: Low V_CE(sat) and soft diode reduce output filter size and audible noise; 5 µs t_SC enables fast OCP response during battery overload conditions.

Use Scenario: Inverter-based arc welding equipment requiring rapid current modulation (1–100 kHz) for stable arc ignition and droop control.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary switching device in resonant or hard-switched inverter driving step-down transformer primary.

Use Value: Low E_off and high f_sw capability allow >30 kHz operation for fine arc control; 175°C T_vjmax sustains duty cycling in air-cooled enclosures.

High-Frequency Motor Drives

Renewable Energy Inverters

Use Scenario: Compact HVAC or pump drives operating at 8–16 kHz PWM frequency to balance acoustic noise and efficiency.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output stage switch in 3-phase inverter bridge, directly controlling motor phase currents.

Use Value: R_th(j–c) = 0.88 K/W enables direct heatsink mounting without thermal interface pads; soft diode prevents shoot-through during dead-time transitions.

Use Scenario: Grid-tied solar string inverters converting PV DC to 50/60 Hz AC with >98% peak efficiency.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DC-link switching element in two-level or multilevel inverter topology handling bidirectional power flow.

Use Value: Low C_res (32 pF) and controlled turn-off delay (194 ns) ensure stable operation with standard gate drivers; JEDEC qualification supports 25-year field life.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed IGBT applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
IKW20N60H3	Same die, identical electrical specs, but with integrated co-packaged diode in TO-247-3 package - no separate diode required	Reduces BOM count in half-bridge designs where discrete anti-parallel diode is not needed	Select IKW20N60H3 when board space is constrained and diode integration simplifies layout
IGW25N120H3	1200 V rating, 25 A I_C, higher V_CE(sat) (2.1 V), larger C_res (45 pF) - trades voltage headroom for lower conduction loss at higher current	Suitable for 600–800 V DC bus systems like traction inverters or medium-voltage UPS	Choose IGW25N120H3 only if system requires >600 V blocking capability or higher current density

Compared with IGW20N60H3FKSA1, IKW20N60H3 offers identical switching and conduction performance with integrated diode convenience, while IGW25N120H3 provides higher voltage rating at the cost of increased switching loss and reduced high-frequency efficiency.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IGW20N60H3FKSA1?

The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V DC. Operation beyond this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –10 V for active Miller clamping during turn-off to prevent spurious conduction.

Does IGW20N60H3FKSA1 include an integrated anti-parallel diode?

No - IGW20N60H3FKSA1 is a standalone IGBT. It relies on an external ultra-fast soft-recovery diode (e.g., IDP20E65D1) for freewheeling. The companion IKW20N60H3 variant integrates that diode in the same TO-247-3 package.

How does junction temperature affect V_CE(sat) in this IGBT?

V_CE(sat) increases with junction temperature: 1.95 V at 25°C, 2.30 V at 125°C, and 2.50 V at 175°C. This positive temperature coefficient enables inherent current sharing in parallel configurations without external ballasting resistors.

Can IGW20N60H3FKSA1 be used in zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topologies?

Yes - its low C_res (32 pF) and controlled turn-off characteristics support ZVS operation in resonant LLC or phase-shifted full-bridge converters. However, gate drive must account for increased Q_G (120 nC) to maintain timing precision at high frequency.
