Product details
Overview
IHW25N140R5LXKSA1 from Infineon is a reverse-conducting IGBT (RC-IGBT) with monolithic body diode, rated for 1400 V collector-emitter voltage and 25 A continuous collector current at Tc = 100 °C. It features low VCE(sat) (1.9 V typ. @ 25 A, 25 °C), positive temperature coefficient for stable paralleling, and soft-commutation-optimized diode with 1.9 V forward voltage @ 25 A/25 °C. Designed for high-efficiency resonant topologies in induction heating.
For engineers reviewing the IHW25N140R5LXKSA1 datasheet, IHW25N140R5LXKSA1 pinout, IHW25N140R5LXKSA1 application, or IHW25N140R5LXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) stability over temperature, diode softness (low Eoff tail energy), thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 0.61 K/W), and JESD-22 qualification for industrial reliability.
Technical Context
This RC-IGBT integrates a co-packaged, low-VF body diode optimized for zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and soft turn-off in half-bridge resonant converters. Its monolithic integration eliminates external diode mismatch and reduces stray inductance (LE = 13 nH).
The device uses trench-gate field-stop technology to achieve tight parameter distribution (VGE(th) = 4–6.2 V), high ruggedness up to 175 °C junction temperature, and low EMI due to controlled dV/dt (<1 kV/µs in SOA) and minimized reverse transfer capacitance (Cres = 26 pF).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 1400 V - supports 1200 V-class resonant bus designs with 17% voltage margin for transient spikes |
| IC (Tc = 100 °C) | 25 A - continuous conduction capability at industrial-grade heatsink temperatures |
| VCE(sat) @ 25 A/25 °C | 1.7–1.9 V - enables <1.9 W conduction loss per device in 25 A applications |
| VF @ 25 A/25 °C | 1.6–1.9 V - low-loss freewheeling path with soft recovery for reduced diode switching stress |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.61 K/W - allows direct mounting to heatsinks without thermal interface degradation in compact modules |
| Eoff @ 25 A/25 °C | 0.094 mJ - quantifies total turn-off energy including tail current, critical for ZVS timing design |
| QG | 150 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and influences switching speed control via RG |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar reverse-conducting IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN25N140A | Higher VCE(sat) (2.2 V typ.), larger Cies (1300 pF), TO-247-3 package with same pinout | Less suitable for high-frequency ZVS due to higher switching losses and slower diode recovery | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and thermal margin is available |
| STMicroelectronics STGW25H120DF2 | 1200 V rating, lower VF (1.5 V typ.), but no JESD-22 industrial qualification | Limited to consumer-grade induction cookers; not recommended for continuous-duty industrial heating | Choose only for 1200 V bus designs where 200 V voltage headroom is acceptable |
Compared with IXGN25N140A and STGW25H120DF2, IHW25N140R5LXKSA1 delivers superior thermal stability (0.61 K/W Rth(j-c)), tighter VGE(th) spread, and verified industrial reliability-making it optimal for mission-critical resonant inverters requiring long-term unattended operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate resistor value for reliable turn-off at 175 °C junction temperature?
The datasheet specifies td(off) = 200 ns and tf = 1115 ns at Tvj = 175 °C with RG(off) = 10 Ω. Increasing RG beyond 15 Ω risks exceeding safe SOA limits during turn-off due to elevated VCE × IC overlap. For robust operation above 150 °C, RG should remain ≤12 Ω with adequate gate driver peak current (>±2 A).
Can IHW25N140R5LXKSA1 replace a standard IGBT + external diode in an existing design?
Yes-its PG-TO247-3 pinout matches standard IGBTs, and the monolithic diode replaces the external anti-parallel diode. However, layout must be revised to eliminate diode traces and verify that gate drive loop inductance remains <15 nH to preserve switching performance and EMI behavior.
Is the body diode rated for continuous conduction or only for commutation?
The diode is specified for pulsed and continuous forward current up to 75 A at Tc = 25 °C and 49 A at Tc = 100 °C. Its soft recovery and low VF make it suitable for both freewheeling and bidirectional conduction in resonant topologies-not just commutation-only use.
Does this part support paralleling, and what layout precautions are required?
Yes-its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enables stable current sharing. Layout requires symmetrical gate drive paths (≤5% length mismatch), individual gate resistors (10 Ω ±1%), and Kelvin emitter connections to avoid emitter inductance imbalance. Thermal coupling between devices must be uniform.
