Product details
Overview
IGZ50N65H5XKSA1 from Infineon is a 650 V, 50 A high-speed TRENCHSTOP™ 5 IGBT with Kelvin emitter configuration in PG-TO247-4 package, designed for hard-switching and resonant topologies in solar string inverters and welding converters. It delivers 1.65 V VCE(sat) at 25°C, 109 nC gate charge, and operates up to 175°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the IGZ50N65H5XKSA1 datasheet, IGZ50N65H5XKSA1 pinout, IGZ50N65H5XKSA1 application, or IGZ50N65H5XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low switching loss enabled by Kelvin emitter, JEDEC-qualified reliability, and compatibility with 15 V gate drive in high-frequency industrial power converters.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs TRENCHSTOP™ 5 trench-gate field-stop technology with integrated Kelvin emitter terminal to decouple gate control from power current path, reducing Miller-induced turn-off delay and improving switching controllability. Its low Cies (3100 pF) and Cres (11 pF) at 25 V support fast, stable switching up to 100 kHz in hard-switched PFC and inverter stages.
The device features a 0.55 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and supports pulsed collector current up to 200 A, enabling robust operation under transient overloads in UPS and arc-welding systems without derating beyond 175°C junction limit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 650 V - withstands DC bus voltages up to 650 V in single-stage solar inverters and industrial SMPS |
| IC | 50 A continuous - rated for 50 A at TC = 25°C, supporting 3–5 kW converter designs |
| VCE(sat) | 1.65 V @ 25°C - minimizes conduction loss in high-current output stages |
| QG | 109 nC - enables efficient gate driving with standard 1–2 A peak drivers at ≤100 kHz |
| td(off) | 250 ns @ 25°C - ensures precise timing control in synchronous rectification and ZVS circuits |
| Tvj(max) | 175°C - allows compact heatsink design with reduced thermal margin in sealed enclosures |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.55 K/W - supports direct mounting to copper baseplates for high-power density layouts |
Pinout & Package
IGZ50N65H5XKSA1 uses the PG-TO247-4 package with isolated case (collector-connected backside), enabling low-inductance power loop layout. The four terminals are arranged linearly with collector (C) and emitter (E) on outer pins, gate (G) and Kelvin emitter (K) on inner pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C & backside | Collector | Main high-side power terminal; backside metal connects directly to heatsink for lowest Rth(j-c) |
| E | Power Emitter | Carries full load current; must not be interchanged with Kelvin emitter |
| K | Kelvin Emitter | Provides dedicated low-noise sense path for gate driver feedback, eliminating emitter inductance impact on switching |
| G | Gate | Controls channel conduction; requires 15 V nominal drive with ±20 V absolute max rating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Kelvin emitter configuration | Eliminates power loop inductance from gate control path, enabling stable 100+ kHz switching without oscillation |
| TRENCHSTOP™ 5 trench-gate structure | Reduces QG and Cres vs. prior generations, cutting Eoff by 30% in identical test conditions |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Validated for 10-year field life in industrial environments per JESD47, including temperature cycling and HTRB |
| 175°C maximum junction temperature | Permits operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed UPS cabinets) without forced air cooling |
Applications
| Solar String Inverters | Welding Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: DC/AC inversion stage in 3–8 kW residential solar inverters operating at 16–32 kHz switching frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side IGBT in three-phase inverter bridge, handling bidirectional reactive power flow and grid-synchronization timing. Use Value: Ultra-low Ets (0.60 mJ @ 25°C) reduces thermal stress on heatsinks, enabling passive-cooled designs compliant with IEC 62109. | Use Scenario: Primary-side inverter in IGBT-based inverter welders delivering 200–500 A DC output with 10–20 kHz carrier modulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching element in full-bridge topology, synchronized to arc ignition pulses with sub-µs timing precision. Use Value: 200 A pulsed current rating and 0.55 K/W Rth(j-c) sustain repeated short-circuit events during arc striking without thermal runaway. |
| Uninterruptible Power Supplies | Mid-Frequency Switching Converters |
Use Scenario: Online double-conversion UPS with 6–10 kVA output, requiring zero-transfer-time backup and harmonic filtering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output inverter IGBT in voltage-source topology, controlled via space-vector PWM with 120° phase offset. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) drift over temperature (1.90 V @ 150°C) maintains THD <3% across full load and ambient range. | Use Scenario: Isolated DC/DC stage in telecom rectifiers and server PSUs operating at 50–100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side switch in phase-shifted full-bridge, where precise td(on)/td(off) matching minimizes circulating current loss. Use Value: Tight td(off) tolerance (250–292 ns across 25–150°C) enables accurate dead-time optimization without adaptive compensation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKZ50N65EH5 | Same die, but includes co-packaged anti-parallel diode in same PG-TO247-4 package | Required where freewheeling diode functionality is needed without external diode placement | Select when designing half-bridge or inverter legs needing integrated diode recovery performance |
| IGW50N65H5 | Identical electrical specs but in 3-pin TO247 package (no Kelvin emitter) | Limited to lower-frequency (<30 kHz) or less critical EMI-sensitive applications due to higher switching loss | Select only when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency gain and Kelvin emitter layout complexity is prohibitive |
Compared with IKZ50N65EH5 and IGW50N65H5, IGZ50N65H5XKSA1 uniquely enables optimal gate control fidelity in high-frequency resonant converters through its dedicated Kelvin emitter, while maintaining identical VCE, IC, and thermal ratings-making it the preferred choice for efficiency-critical, thermally constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the Kelvin emitter pin (K) on IGZ50N65H5XKSA1?
The Kelvin emitter (K) provides a dedicated low-inductance return path for the gate driver's emitter reference, isolating gate control from power current transients. This eliminates the voltage drop across internal emitter inductance during switching, preventing false turn-on and enabling stable operation above 50 kHz without snubbers or complex gate drive compensation.
Can IGZ50N65H5XKSA1 replace older TRENCHSTOP™ 4 IGBTs in existing designs?
Yes-it is designed as a plug-and-play replacement for prior-generation devices like IGW25N65H4, offering identical pinout, voltage/current ratings, and gate drive compatibility. However, its lower QG and Kelvin emitter require verifying gate resistor values and PCB layout to avoid excessive dV/dt-induced oscillation in legacy gate drive circuits.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable turn-off at 150°C junction temperature?
At Tvj = 150°C, the datasheet specifies td(off) = 292 ns with RG(off) = 20 Ω. To maintain safe SOA margins and avoid shoot-through in bridge configurations, Infineon recommends RG(off) ≤ 22 Ω for operation up to 175°C, verified via dynamic testing with Lσ = 30 nH and Cσ = 25 pF.
Is IGZ50N65H5XKSA1 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes-IGZ50N65H5XKSA1 features Pb-free lead plating and is fully RoHS-compliant per Directive 2011/65/EU. Its packaging meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL-1, allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH without dry pack requirements.
