Product details
Overview
IKQ120N120CS7XKSA1 from Infineon is a short-circuit rugged 1200 V, 120 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT 7 co-packed with a full-current soft-recovery Emitter Controlled 7 diode in PG-TO247-3-PLUS package. It delivers VCE(sat) = 2.0 V at Tvj = 175°C, 8 µs short-circuit withstand time, and optimized hard-switching performance for 2-level inverters and 3-level NPC/T-type topologies. Used in industrial solar inverters requiring high-voltage switching robustness.
For engineers reviewing the IKQ120N120CS7XKSA1 datasheet, IKQ120N120CS7XKSA1 pinout, IKQ120N120CS7XKSA1 application, or IKQ120N120CS7XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include short-circuit ruggedness (8 µs), low VCE(sat) at elevated junction temperature, dv/dt controllability, co-packaged diode Qrr and trr, and thermal resistance Rth(j-c) of 0.11–0.15 K/W for the IGBT.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs TRENCHSTOP™ 7 silicon technology with field-stop and trench-gate structures to achieve low conduction loss and controlled switching behavior. Its gate charge (QG = 710 nC) and switching energies (Eon = 12.6 mJ, Eoff = 9.5 mJ at Tvj = 175°C) are tuned for hard-switched industrial converters operating up to 175°C junction temperature.
The integrated Emitter Controlled 7 diode provides soft reverse recovery (trr = 311 ns, Qrr = 14.9 µC at Tvj = 175°C) and low forward voltage (VF = 1.6 V), minimizing commutation losses and voltage overshoot in bidirectional power stages. Both devices share a common thermal path via the TO247-3-PLUS package baseplate.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW120N120CS7 | Same die, PG-TO247-3 package (non-PLUS); Rth(j-c) = 0.15–0.19 K/W; no enhanced creepage. | Suitable for lower-power (<100 kW) or space-constrained designs where thermal margin is relaxed. | Select when board layout lacks clearance for PLUS variant or heatsink interface tolerates +0.04 K/W thermal penalty. |
| FF1200R17ME7_B2 | 1700 V, 1200 A dual-module; higher current, higher voltage, larger footprint; includes NTC sensor. | Targeted at multi-level traction inverters and wind turbine converters requiring redundancy and sensing. | Choose only when system demands >1700 V blocking or module-level integration; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with IKW120N120CS7, the IKQ120N120CS7XKSA1 offers improved thermal resistance and creepage for higher-power density; versus FF1200R17ME7_B2, it provides discrete flexibility and lower gate drive complexity for industrial inverters below 200 kW.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IKQ120N120CS7XKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V DC, with transient rating of ±25 V for pulses ≤0.5 µs. Exceeding ±20 V continuously risks oxide degradation and threshold shift; gate drive circuits must include clamping (e.g., TVS diodes) and avoid floating gate conditions during power-up/down sequences.
Does IKQ120N120CS7XKSA1 include an integrated temperature sensor?
No, this device does not integrate a temperature sensor. Junction temperature monitoring requires external methods such as gate-threshold voltage tracking (VGE(th) drift), thermal imaging, or discrete NTC thermistors mounted on the heatsink near the package baseplate.
Can IKQ120N120CS7XKSA1 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but only with strict layout symmetry, matched gate drive impedance (≤±5% variation), and emitter degeneration resistors (0.1–0.2 Ω) to ensure current sharing. Parallel operation requires individual short-circuit protection and thermal derating per device due to parameter spread at high temperature.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for 16 kHz switching in a 3-level T-type inverter?
For 16 kHz operation with minimal overshoot and EMI, a 1.3 Ω gate resistor (as specified in datasheet test conditions) is recommended. Lower values (≤1.0 Ω) increase switching speed but risk oscillation; higher values (>2.2 Ω) reduce EMI but raise switching losses beyond 12.6 mJ Eon + 9.5 mJ Eoff at 175°C.
