Product details

Overview

IKA15N65ET6XKSA2 from Infineon is a 650 V, 15 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT6 with integrated soft, fast-recovery antiparallel Rapid diode in PG-TO220-3 FP package. It delivers 1.5 V typical V_CE(sat), 3 µs short-circuit withstand time, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature-designed for motor control stages in inverter-driven home appliances.

For engineers reviewing the IKA15N65ET6XKSA2 datasheet, IKA15N65ET6XKSA2 pinout, IKA15N65ET6XKSA2 application, or IKA15N65ET6XKSA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include V_CE(sat) stability over temperature, diode reverse recovery charge (Q_rr = 0.21 µC typ.), gate charge (Q_G = 37 nC), thermal resistance (R_thjc = 4.3 K/W for IGBT), and industrial qualification per JEDEC47/20/22.

Technical Context

This device integrates an IGBT and a co-packaged diode in a single TO-220-3 FP housing, sharing common emitter and collector terminals. The IGBT uses TRENCHSTOP™ 6 technology to achieve low conduction loss and tight parameter distribution, while the diode features soft recovery (trr = 69 ns typ. at 25 °C) and low Q_rr to minimize switching losses and EMI in hard-switched inverters.

The gate threshold voltage (V_GE(th) = 4.8–6.4 V) and positive temperature coefficient of V_CE(sat) enable inherent current sharing in parallel configurations. Its 3 µs short-circuit rating supports robust protection in 400 V DC-link motor drives without requiring ultra-fast desaturation detection.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CE max	650 V - Supports 400 V DC-link systems with 1.6× safety margin for voltage transients
I_C continuous	15 A @ T_c = 25 °C - Rated output current for continuous conduction mode in 1 kW-class inverters
V_CE(sat) typ.	1.5 V @ I_C = 11.5 A, V_GE = 15 V, T_vj = 25 °C - Enables <1.7 W conduction loss at rated current
t_SC	3 µs @ V_CC ≤ 360 V, T_vj = 150 °C - Allows time for external fault logic to disable gate drive before thermal runaway
Q_G	37 nC - Reduces gate driver power demand and enables efficient 20–30 kHz PWM operation
Q_rr diode	0.21 µC @ T_vj = 25 °C - Limits turn-on loss of companion switch and suppresses voltage overshoot
R_thjc IGBT	4.3 K/W - Enables 35.3 W power dissipation at 25 °C case temperature with standard heatsinking

Pinout & Package

Package: PG-TO220-3 FP (full-pack, isolated baseplate), with creepage/clearance optimized for industrial isolation requirements. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Emitter. The metal tab is electrically connected to the collector and serves as the primary thermal path.

Pin 1 (Gate)	Control input	Low-impedance MOS-gated terminal requiring 15 V drive; Q_G = 37 nC defines driver sizing
Pin 2 (Collector)	High-side power output	Connected to DC-link positive; electrically tied to metal tab for thermal conduction
Pin 3 (Emitter)	Power return / reference node	Common emitter for IGBT and diode; forms low-inductance return path for switching current

Key Features

Feature	Design Value

JEDEC47/20/22 qualified	Validated for industrial temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - suitable for 10+ year appliance field life

Applications

Air Conditioning Inverters

Washing Machine Drive Modules

Use Scenario: Variable-speed compressor control in split-system AC units operating at 15–25 kHz PWM frequency with 400 V DC-link.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in 2-level inverter leg; handles bidirectional energy flow during regenerative braking of PMSM compressor motor.

Use Value: Low V_CE(sat) and soft diode reduce system-level losses by ≥8% vs. prior-generation IGBTs, directly improving SEER rating.

Use Scenario: Direct-drive drum motor inverter in front-load washing machines, subject to frequent start-stop cycles and high vibration.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge switch in 3-phase inverter; operates with 3 µs short-circuit tolerance during spin-cycle torque surges.

Use Value: Tight parameter distribution ensures consistent motor torque response across production batches, reducing factory calibration overhead.

Refrigerator Compressor Drives

Fan Motor Controllers (HVAC)

Use Scenario: Hermetic inverter compressor in smart refrigerators, requiring silent operation and high reliability over 15-year lifespan.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch in 3-phase bridge; leverages 175 °C T_vjmax to sustain peak loads without derating in confined cabinet space.

Use Value: R_thjc = 4.3 K/W allows use of compact aluminum heatsinks, reducing total module volume by 22% vs. TO-247 alternatives.

Use Scenario: Multi-speed blower control in residential HVAC air handlers, exposed to ambient temperatures up to 70 °C.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in H-bridge fan driver; benefits from low Q_G (37 nC) for efficient 20 kHz PWM with minimal gate driver heat.

Use Value: Diode Q_rr < 0.5 µC at 150 °C prevents cross-conduction loss spikes during direction reversal, extending MOSFET lifetime in companion half-bridge.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT + diode module applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
IKB15N65ET6XKSA2	TO-263-3 (D²PAK) package; R_thjc = 4.5 K/W; identical electrical specs	Suitable for surface-mount PCB assembly; lower mounting torque requirement but reduced creepage distance	Select when automated SMT manufacturing is prioritized over isolation or thermal performance
IKP15N65ET6XKSA2	TO-220-3 non-isolated variant; metal tab not electrically isolated; R_thjc = 4.3 K/W same	Requires insulating washer for heatsink mounting; lower cost but higher layout complexity for isolation	Select when cost sensitivity outweighs safety certification requirements (e.g., internal industrial modules)

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for continuous operation?

The absolute maximum continuous gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V. Operation beyond this range risks permanent oxide damage. Transient peaks up to ±30 V are allowed only for ≤10 µs with duty cycle <0.01, per datasheet Table 2. Gate resistor selection must limit dv/dt-induced overshoot during turn-off to stay within these limits.

Does the integrated diode share the same thermal resistance as the IGBT die?

No-the diode has R_thjc = 5.8 K/W (vs. 4.3 K/W for the IGBT), confirmed in Table 5. This difference arises from distinct die thickness and metallization. Thermal design must account for separate junction-to-case paths when calculating worst-case diode temperature under freewheeling conditions.

Can this device be used in parallel configurations?

Yes-its positive V_CE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution (±5% V_CE(sat)) enable stable current sharing. However, matched gate resistors, symmetrical PCB layout, and individual emitter degeneration resistors are required to ensure balanced dynamic current division during switching transitions.

What is the recommended soldering profile for PG-TO220-3 FP mounting?

Wave soldering at 260 °C for 10 s at 1.6 mm from case is specified. Reflow is not recommended due to thermal mass mismatch. Mounting torque must not exceed 0.5 Nm on M3 screws to avoid die cracking. Pre-tinning the heatsink interface with thermal paste meeting ISO 22196 standards is advised for long-term reliability.
