Product details
Overview
IKW40N65F5FKSA1 from Infineon is a 650V, 40A high-speed TRENCHSTOP™ 5 IGBT copacked with a RAPID 1 fast/soft antiparallel diode in a PG-TO247-3 package. It delivers 1.6 V VCE(sat) at 40 A and 25°C, supports 175°C maximum junction temperature, and achieves 60 ns diode reverse recovery time at 20 A/25°C - enabling high-efficiency hard-switching in solar converters and UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the IKW40N65F5FKSA1 datasheet, IKW40N65F5FKSA1 pinout, IKW40N65F5FKSA1 application, or IKW40N65F5FKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low QG (95 nC), fast switching energy (Ets = 0.46 mJ @ 20 A), integrated diode softness, and JEDEC-qualified industrial reliability for mid-to-high-frequency power conversion.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs TRENCHSTOP™ 5 trench-gate field-stop technology optimized for reduced conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its integrated RAPID 1 diode features controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 0.45 µC, trr = 60 ns) and low peak reverse recovery current (Irrm = 12.4 A) to minimize voltage overshoot and EMI in bridge-leg configurations.
The device operates with gate-emitter threshold voltage of 4.0 V (typ.), supports ±20 V DC and ±30 V transient VGE, and maintains stable gain (gfs = 50 S) across temperature - enabling robust gate drive design for resonant and hard-switched topologies up to 100 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 650 V - Enables use in 400 V DC bus systems with 150 V margin for transients and ringing. |
| IC | 40 A continuous - Rated for sustained conduction at 100°C case temperature without derating. |
| VCE(sat) | 1.6 V @ 40 A, 25°C - Reduces conduction loss to ~64 W at full load, improving thermal headroom. |
| Ets | 0.46 mJ @ 400 V, 20 A - Low total switching energy enables efficient operation at 50–100 kHz switching frequencies. |
| trr (diode) | 60 ns @ 20 A, 25°C - Fast, soft recovery minimizes commutation losses and dv/dt-induced shoot-through risk. |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.60 K/W (IGBT) - Allows 255 W power dissipation at 25°C case, supporting compact heatsink designs. |
| Tvj(max) | 175°C - Enables high-temperature operation in sealed or high-ambient environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
IKW40N65F5FKSA1 uses the PG-TO247-3 package with isolated mounting screw hole and backside collector connection. The package provides low-inductance layout, mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments, and compatibility with standard TO-247 heatsink clamps.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate | Control terminal requiring <100 nA leakage; driven by 15 V logic-level gate driver with 15 Ω series resistance. |
| Pin 2 | Collector | Main high-side power terminal; electrically tied to backside metal for low-inductance high-current path. |
| Pin 3 | Emitter | Power return and reference node for gate drive; internal emitter inductance is 13 nH (measured 5 mm from case). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated RAPID 1 diode | Soft reverse recovery (dirr/dt = –280 A/µs) reduces EMI and stress on complementary switch in half-bridge. |
| TRENCHSTOP™ 5 technology | Optimized field-stop layer and trench gate reduce QG to 95 nC and improve trade-off between VCE(sat) and switching speed. |
| JEDEC qualification | Validated for industrial power control applications per AEC-Q101 stress test conditions (excluding automotive temp range). |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | Lead plating meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC-J-STD-609A Class 1 moisture sensitivity. |
Applications
| Solar Inverters | Uninterruptible Power Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Three-phase string inverters converting DC from photovoltaic arrays to grid-synchronized AC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side IGBT in NPC or T-type three-level inverter leg, switching at 16–32 kHz with sinusoidal PWM. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) and soft diode recovery reduce system-level conduction and commutation losses by >8% versus prior-generation IGBTs. | Use Scenario: Online double-conversion UPS delivering clean 50/60 Hz output during mains failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter-stage IGBT in full-bridge output stage, operating in hard-switched mode with 5–10 kHz carrier frequency. Use Value: 175°C junction rating allows sustained overload capability (120% for 10 s) without thermal shutdown under ambient >60°C. |
| Industrial Welding Converters | Motor Drive Inverters |
Use Scenario: IGBT-based inverter for arc welding power supplies requiring precise current regulation and fast response. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary switching device in primary-side DC-DC converter (LLC or phase-shifted full-bridge) feeding inverter stage. Use Value: Low QG and fast turn-on (td(on) = 19 ns) enable tight current-loop bandwidth (>10 kHz) for dynamic arc control. | Use Scenario: Variable-frequency drives for HVAC compressors and pumps operating in harsh factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output stage IGBT in 3-phase inverter module driving PMSM/IM loads at 2–8 kHz PWM frequency. Use Value: RAPID 1 diode's low Qrr (0.45 µC) suppresses freewheeling current oscillation, reducing audible noise and bearing currents. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW40N65ES5 | Same 650 V/40 A rating but uses TRENCHSTOP™ 5 Enhanced Speed (ES5) process; lower VCE(sat) (1.55 V) but higher Eoff (0.13 mJ vs. 0.10 mJ). | Better conduction efficiency at light loads; less suitable for high-frequency resonant topologies due to slower fall time (18 ns vs. 16 ns). | Select when conduction loss dominates system efficiency and switching frequency ≤30 kHz. |
| FGA40N65SMD | ON Semiconductor part; 650 V/40 A, VCE(sat) = 1.7 V, QG = 110 nC, trr = 90 ns - higher losses and slower diode recovery. | Limited to lower-frequency (<20 kHz) industrial motor drives where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets. | Select only if cross-supply sourcing is required and thermal margin exceeds 25°C. |
Compared with IKW40N65ES5 and FGA40N65SMD, IKW40N65F5FKSA1 offers the best balance of low conduction loss, fast soft switching, and diode recovery performance - making it optimal for solar inverters and UPS systems demanding both efficiency and reliability at 50–100 kHz.

FAQ
What gate drive voltage is recommended for IKW40N65F5FKSA1?
Infineon specifies 15 V nominal gate-emitter voltage (VGE) for full saturation and minimal VCE(sat). The device supports ±20 V DC and ±30 V transient ratings. Driving below 12 V risks incomplete turn-on and increased conduction loss; exceeding +20 V does not improve performance and risks gate oxide stress over time.
Does IKW40N65F5FKSA1 require an external freewheeling diode?
No - IKW40N65F5FKSA1 integrates a co-packaged RAPID 1 antiparallel diode rated for 36 A continuous forward current at 25°C. This diode is optimized for soft recovery and low Qrr, eliminating need for discrete diodes in standard inverter leg configurations.
How does thermal resistance differ between IGBT and diode sections?
The IGBT section has Rth(j-c) = 0.60 K/W, while the diode section has Rth(j-c) = 1.80 K/W - reflecting higher power dissipation density in the diode die. System thermal design must account for this asymmetry, especially in unbalanced conduction duty cycles where diode losses dominate.
Is IKW40N65F5FKSA1 suitable for use in automotive traction inverters?
No - although qualified to JEDEC industrial standards and rated for 175°C junction temperature, IKW40N65F5FKSA1 is not AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive under-hood use. It lacks automotive-specific screening (e.g., HTOL, UHAST) and is intended for industrial power applications only.
