Product details
Overview
IKW25N120CS7XKSA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 25 A short-circuit rugged TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT 7 co-packed with a full-current soft-recovery Emitter Controlled 7 diode in PG-TO247-3 package. It delivers VCE(sat) = 2.0 V at Tvj = 175 °C, tSC = 8 µs, and optimized dv/dt controllability for hard-switching inverters. Used in solar inverters and industrial drives where high blocking voltage and thermal robustness are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IKW25N120CS7XKSA1 datasheet, IKW25N120CS7XKSA1 pinout, IKW25N120CS7XKSA1 application, or IKW25N120CS7XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include short-circuit withstand time, junction-to-case thermal resistance (Rth(jc) = 0.45–0.60 K/W for IGBT), co-packaged diode Qrr (1.45–3.60 µC), and gate charge (QG = 150 nC) for switching loss estimation.
Technical Context
This device implements TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT 7 silicon technology with an integrated Emitter Controlled 7 diode-both rated for 1200 V blocking and sharing a common thermal path. The IGBT features a gate-emitter threshold voltage (VGE(th)) of 5.15–6.45 V and transconductance (gfs) of 11.0 S at Tvj = 175 °C, enabling stable current control under high-temperature operation.
The co-packaged diode exhibits low reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 1.45 µC typ. at 25 °C) and soft recovery (trr = 150 ns typ.), reducing voltage overshoot and EMI in NPC and T-type three-level topologies. Its dIrr/dt reaches –220 A/µs at 25 °C, supporting fast, controlled turn-off in high-dv/dt environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 1200 V - Enables use in 1000 V DC-link solar inverters and industrial 3-phase rectified supplies without derating. |
| IC | 25 A continuous - Rated for sustained conduction at TC = 100 °C, supporting compact heatsink designs. |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0 V at Tvj = 175 °C - Minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during overload conditions. |
| tSC | 8 µs - Provides deterministic fault handling in motor drives and UPS systems without external desaturation detection. |
| QG | 150 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement and influences switching speed trade-offs in hard-switched topologies. |
| Rth(jc) (IGBT) | 0.45–0.60 K/W - Enables precise junction temperature estimation for thermal protection and lifetime modeling. |
| Qrr (Diode) | 1.45–3.60 µC - Directly impacts turn-off losses and snubber sizing in bidirectional energy transfer paths. |
Pinout & Package
Delivered in PG-TO247-3 package: isolated mounting hole, standard TO-247 footprint, and 13.0 nH internal emitter inductance measured 5 mm from case. Thermal resistance Rth(jc) = 0.45–0.60 K/W (IGBT) and 0.90–1.25 K/W (diode).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side power terminal | Connected to DC-link positive; carries full load current and withstands 1200 V transient spikes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage IGBT switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW25N120H3 | Same 1200 V/25 A rating but uses TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT 3 + Calogic diode; higher VCE(sat) (2.3 V @ 175 °C) and longer tSC (6 µs). | Limited to lower-switching-frequency industrial drives; lacks soft-recovery diode optimization for 3L topologies. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs switching loss and EMI requirements. |
| FGH25N120FTD | ON Semiconductor 1200 V/25 A IGBT with FRED diode; VCE(sat) = 2.1 V @ 175 °C, Qrr = 2.2 µC @ 25 °C, no published tSC spec. | Valid for 2L inverters but not qualified for short-circuit ruggedness per JEDEC JESD47; requires external desat detection. | Select only if legacy design compatibility or dual-source strategy mandates ON Semi footprint. |
Compared with IKW25N120CS7XKSA1, IKW25N120H3 trades switching performance for cost, while FGH25N120FTD lacks validated short-circuit ruggedness and soft diode behavior-making both less suitable for next-generation solar and NPC inverter designs requiring robust fault handling and low EMI.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IKW25N120CS7XKSA1?
The absolute maximum DC gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V, with transient rating up to ±25 V for pulses ≤0.5 µs and duty cycle <0.001. Exceeding ±20 V continuously risks permanent gate oxide damage; gate driver designs must include clamping or Zener protection aligned to this limit.
Does IKW25N120CS7XKSA1 include a built-in diode, and what are its key ratings?
Yes-it integrates a full-rated soft-recovery Emitter Controlled 7 diode co-packaged in the same TO247-3 housing. Key diode specs include VRRM = 1200 V, IF = 41 A at TC = 25 °C, Qrr = 1.45 µC (25 °C), and trr = 150 ns (25 °C), all verified per Infineon's industrial qualification standards.
Can IKW25N120CS7XKSA1 be used in three-level neutral-point-clamped (3L-NPC) inverters?
Yes-its soft-recovery diode, low Qrr, and 8 µs short-circuit ruggedness are explicitly validated for 3L-NPC and T-type topologies. Infineon provides PSpice models and application notes confirming stable operation under bidirectional conduction and high dv/dt commutation stress.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for the IGBT portion?
The IGBT's junction-to-case thermal resistance Rth(jc) is specified as 0.45 K/W (typical) and 0.60 K/W (max) under standard mounting conditions. This value is measured with 0.6 Nm screw torque on M3 hardware and is critical for calculating maximum allowable case temperature at 25 A continuous operation.
