Product details
Overview
IKY140N120CH7XKSA1 from Infineon is a high-speed 1200 V TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT 7 co-packed with a full-rated 140 A ultra-fast recovery diode in a PG-TO247-4-PLUS package. It delivers VCE(sat) = 1.7 V at 25°C, tr = 20 ns, and Qrr = 4.14 µC, enabling high-efficiency hard-switching in 2-level inverters and 3-level NPC/T-type topologies for industrial UPS and EV-charging systems.
For engineers reviewing the IKY140N120CH7XKSA1 datasheet, IKY140N120CH7XKSA1 pinout, IKY140N120CH7XKSA1 application, or IKY140N120CH7XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient for stable paralleling, soft-commutating diode behavior, low Eoff (3.9 mJ at 25°C), and JEDEC-qualified industrial reliability up to 175°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This device integrates an IGBT and emitter-controlled 7 Rapid diode on a single die with shared thermal path and optimized layout for minimal parasitic inductance (LE = 13 nH). Its gate charge (QG = 1032 nC) and transconductance (gfs = 344 S) are tuned for fast, controllable switching under high dV/dt conditions.
The IGBT exhibits a well-defined turn-off safe operating area up to 1200 V with VGE = 0/15 V and RG(off) ≥ 8.2 Ω, while the diode achieves trr = 101 ns and dirr/dt = –3140 A/µs at 25°C - critical for minimizing voltage overshoot and EMI in high-frequency inverter legs.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed 1200 V IGBT + diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW40N120H3 | 1200 V, 40 A, TO247-3 package, no Kelvin emitter, higher VCE(sat) (2.1 V), slower tf (120 ns) | Limited to lower-power (<10 kW) designs; lacks soft diode and paralleling capability | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and scalability needs in sub-50 A systems |
| FF140R12ME4 | 1200 V, 140 A, 62 mm module, dual IGBT+diode, higher thermal mass, Rth(j-c) = 0.18 K/W | Better suited for multi-kW modular inverters requiring standardized footprint and press-fit mounting | Choose for scalable system integration where board-level assembly and thermal management favor module form factor |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the Kelvin emitter pin?
The Kelvin emitter (K) provides a dedicated low-inductance sense path for gate drive feedback, decoupling gate loop dynamics from main current flow. This ensures precise VGE control during high-di/dt switching, preventing false turn-on and improving noise immunity-critical for stable operation above 20 kHz.
Can IKY140N120CH7XKSA1 be used in 3-level T-type inverters?
Yes. Its 1200 V VCE, low Qrr, and soft diode recovery make it suitable for both outer and inner switches in 3-level T-type topologies. The 175°C Tvj(max) and positive VCE(sat) coefficient support balanced current sharing across paralleled devices in high-power legs.
How does the 7 Rapid diode differ from standard FRDs?
The 7 Rapid diode features emitter-controlled structure and tailored lifetime control, achieving lower Qrr (4.14 µC), softer reverse recovery (reduced Irrm and Erec), and higher dirr/dt tolerance (–3140 A/µs) than conventional fast recovery diodes-minimizing voltage spikes and EMI in high-dV/dt environments.
Is PSpice modeling supported for this device?
Yes. Infineon provides validated PSpice models for IKY140N120CH7XKSA1 covering both IGBT and diode characteristics-including temperature-dependent VCE(sat), QG, tr/tf, VF, and Qrr. These models are accessible via Infineon's official product page and support accurate loss and thermal simulation.
