Product details
Overview
IKP03N120H2XKSA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 3 A high-speed IGBT with integrated emitter-controlled HE diode in PG-TO-220-3-1 package. It delivers 0.15 mJ turn-off energy at Tj = 25°C, operates up to 150°C junction temperature, and is optimized for ZVS converters and lamp ballasts requiring soft, fast diode recovery and parallel-switching capability.
For engineers reviewing the IKP03N120H2XKSA1 datasheet, IKP03N120H2XKSA1 pinout, IKP03N120H2XKSA1 application, or IKP03N120H2XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include Eoff stability across temperature, tight parameter distribution for multi-device designs, and thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.0 K/W) for conduction-limited thermal management in compact SMPS layouts.
Technical Context
This IGBT uses Infineon's second-generation HighSpeed 2 technology, featuring an integrated anti-parallel emitter-controlled HE diode with 42 ns reverse recovery time (Tj = 25°C) and 125 ns at 150°C. Its gate charge is 22 nC and input capacitance is 205 pF, enabling efficient 140 kHz operation in resonant topologies.
The device supports ZVS operation via low Eoff (0.05 mJ at Tj = 25°C with 4 nF snubber) and exhibits temperature-stable VCE(sat) (2.2–2.8 V across 25–150°C), tight IC distribution, and qualified JEDEC2 reliability for industrial power conversion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 1200 V - supports DC-link voltages up to 800 V in ZVS converters with margin |
| IC | 3 A continuous - rated for 9.6 A pulsed (tp limited by Tjmax) in hard-switched SMPS |
| Eoff | 0.15 mJ @ Tj = 25°C - enables high-frequency operation with low switching loss in resonant circuits |
| RthJC | 2.0 K/W - allows 62.5 W power dissipation at 25°C case temperature |
| trr (diode) | 42 ns @ Tj = 25°C - ensures soft, low-noise commutation and reduced EMI in lamp ballasts |

| VGE(th) | 2.1–3.9 V - provides noise-immune turn-on threshold across industrial temperature range |
Pinout & Package
IKP03N120H2XKSA1 is housed in a PG-TO-220-3-1 package with isolated mounting base, designed for direct heatsink attachment and high-voltage isolation in offline power stages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| Emitter (E) | Reference node for IGBT and diode | Common emitter for both IGBT and anti-parallel HE diode; referenced to driver ground |
| Gate (G) | Control terminal | Receives ±20 V-rated drive signal; 22 nC charge requires robust gate driver stage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| HighSpeed 2 Technology | Reduces conduction and switching losses simultaneously via optimized cell layout and carrier lifetime control |
| Emitter-Controlled HE Diode | Delivers soft, fast recovery (42 ns) with low Qrr (0.23 µC) to minimize diode-induced voltage overshoot |
| Parallel Switching Capability | Tight parameter distribution (VCE(sat), Eoff) enables reliable current sharing without external balancing networks |
| ZVS-Optimized Eoff | 0.05 mJ at 25°C with 4 nF snubber - reduces tail current and improves efficiency in zero-voltage-switched topologies |
Applications
| Lamp Ballast Control | SMPS Primary Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Electronic ballast for HID lamps operating at 20–100 kHz with phase-control dimming. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in half-bridge resonant inverter; commutates with integrated HE diode during zero-current switching. Use Value: Soft diode recovery (42 ns) suppresses voltage spikes during lamp ignition, extending lamp life and reducing EMI filter cost. | Use Scenario: 300–500 W offline flyback or LLC converter for industrial power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side high-voltage switch handling 800 V DC-link; driven at 65–140 kHz with gate resistor tuning. Use Value: 0.15 mJ Eoff and stable RthJC = 2.0 K/W enable compact heatsink design while maintaining <150°C junction limit under full load. |
| ZVS Converter Stage | Industrial Motor Drive Inverter |
Use Scenario: 1–3 kW resonant DC-DC stage in telecom rectifiers or EV charging systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss switching element in phase-shifted full-bridge; leverages soft turn-off for ZVS transition. Use Value: Eoff drops to 0.05 mJ with 4 nF snubber, cutting switching loss by >65% versus standard IGBTs at 100 kHz. | Use Scenario: Low-power (<5 kW) variable-frequency drive for pumps and fans. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge leg switch with integrated diode providing freewheeling path during PWM dead-time. Use Value: Temperature-stable VCE(sat) (2.2–2.8 V) ensures consistent torque control across -40 to +150°C ambient conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW03N120H2 | Same die, PG-TO-247-3 package; RthJC = 2.0 K/W but higher LE (13 nH vs. 7 nH) | Better thermal performance in forced-air cooling; higher internal inductance limits ultra-high-frequency ZVS | Select for higher power density where heatsink interface dominates thermal design |
| STGP3NC120 | 1200 V/3 A trench-gate IGBT; Eoff = 0.22 mJ @ 25°C; no integrated diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; higher switching loss in resonant circuits | Choose when discrete diode selection is preferred for system-level optimization |
Compared with IKW03N120H2 and STGP3NC120, IKP03N120H2XKSA1 offers lower parasitic inductance and integrated soft-recovery diode-critical for EMI-sensitive lamp ballasts and compact ZVS converters where board space and component count are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching at 140 kHz?
A gate resistor of 82 Ω is specified in the datasheet for 140 kHz operation with 3 A collector current and 15 V drive. Increasing beyond 100 Ω extends turn-off time and raises Eoff; values below 50 Ω risk excessive dI/dt and oscillation due to 7 nH internal emitter inductance.
Does IKP03N120H2XKSA1 require a negative gate voltage for safe turn-off?
No. The device is rated for ±20 V gate-emitter voltage and operates reliably with 0 V turn-off. A negative bias is not required, though -5 V may improve noise immunity in high-dI/dt environments; gate driver must sustain ≤100 nA leakage per the datasheet.
Can this IGBT be paralleled with other IKP03N120H2XKSA1 units without external emitter resistors?
Yes. Tight parameter distribution (VCE(sat), Eoff, td(off)) and temperature-stable characteristics enable direct paralleling. Layout symmetry and matched gate drive paths are required; no external emitter resistors are needed per Infineon's application guidance.
What is the safe operating area (SOA) limitation at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the maximum DC collector current is 3.9 A (per Figure 4), and the pulsed current limit remains 9.9 A (tp limited by Tjmax). The SOA boundary is defined by secondary breakdown, thermal runaway, and bondwire fusing-no derating is needed below 100°C case for 3 A continuous operation.
