Product details
Overview
IKQ140N120CH7XKSA1 from Infineon is a high-speed 1200 V, 140 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT 7 co-packed with a full-rated 140 A ultra-fast recovery emitter-controlled diode in a PG-TO247-3-PLUS package. It delivers VCE(sat) = 1.7 V at 25°C, trr = 144 ns, and Qrr = 3.82 µC, enabling high-efficiency hard-switching in industrial UPS, EV charging, and string inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IKQ140N120CH7XKSA1 datasheet, IKQ140N120CH7XKSA1 pinout, IKQ140N120CH7XKSA1 application, or IKQ140N120CH7XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient for stable paralleling, soft-commutating diode behavior, and validated operation up to 175°C junction temperature in 3-level NPC/T-type topologies.
Technical Context
This device integrates an IGBT and a matched rapid diode on a single die substrate within a thermally optimized TO247-3-PLUS housing. The IGBT employs field-stop trench gate architecture with enhanced carrier lifetime control, delivering low conduction loss (1.7 V) and fast switching (td(off) = 541 ns, Eoff = 3.38 mJ at 25°C).
The co-packaged diode features emitter-controlled design with ultra-low Qrr (3.82 µC), soft reverse recovery (Irrm = 53 A), and controlled dirr/dt (−529 A/µs), minimizing voltage overshoot and EMI in high-dV/dt inverter legs.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable turn-off?
The datasheet specifies RG(off) ≥ 2.9 Ω for safe SOA operation. For optimal Eoff control and voltage overshoot suppression, use 4.8 Ω (as tested in characterization). Values above 10 Ω increase td(off) beyond 700 ns and risk cross-conduction in bridge legs; values below 2.9 Ω exceed safe SOA limits at 175°C.
Does this device require negative gate voltage for robust turn-off?
No. The device is fully characterized and qualified for 0 V/15 V gate drive. Negative bias is not required for reliable operation, though −5 V may be applied to improve noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments. The gate oxide is rated for ±20 V, and no negative voltage is specified in JEDEC-qualified test conditions.
How does the diode's softness affect EMI in inverter applications?
The emitter-controlled diode exhibits soft recovery with <10% overshoot and controlled dirr/dt (−529 A/µs at 25°C), reducing high-frequency spectral content in switching node waveforms. This lowers common-mode EMI by 8–12 dB compared to standard FRDs, easing compliance with CISPR 11 Class A limits without added filtering.
Can IKQ140N120CH7XKSA1 be paralleled without current-sharing resistors?
Yes-its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient ensures inherent current balancing. Testing shows <10% current imbalance across three paralleled units at 140 A total load and 100°C case temperature. However, matched gate drive layout (equal trace inductance/resistance) remains essential to avoid dynamic imbalance during switching transients.
