Product details
Overview
IKZ50N65ES5XKSA1 from Infineon is a 650 V, 50 A TRENCHSTOP™ 5 high-speed soft-switching IGBT with integrated full-current-rated RAPID 1 antiparallel diode in PG-TO247-4 package. It delivers 1.35 V VCE(sat) at 25°C and 50 A, supports 175°C maximum junction temperature, and features Kelvin emitter for precise gate control-used in industrial UPS inverters requiring low conduction loss and fast, soft switching.
For engineers reviewing the IKZ50N65ES5XKSA1 datasheet, IKZ50N65ES5XKSA1 pinout, IKZ50N65ES5XKSA1 application, or IKZ50N65ES5XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) stability over temperature, diode Qrr and trr performance at 25/150°C, gate charge (120 nC), and Kelvin emitter implementation for gate loop inductance reduction.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs TRENCHSTOP™ 5 trench-gate field-stop structure optimized for hard and soft-switching topologies. Its low QG (120 nC) and low Cres (12 pF) enable fast, controllable turn-on/turn-off with minimal Eon/Eoff trade-off-0.77 mJ/0.88 mJ at 50 A, 400 V, 25°C.
The co-packed RAPID 1 diode provides soft reverse recovery (trr = 62 ns, Qrr = 1.40 µC at 50 A, 25°C) and high di/dt tolerance (–1100 A/µs), reducing voltage overshoot and EMI in bridge-leg configurations where synchronous commutation occurs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 650 V - withstands DC bus voltages up to 650 V in industrial SMPS and UPS designs |
| IC | 50 A continuous - rated collector current at TC = 25°C; derates to 60.5 A at TC = 100°C |
| VCE(sat) | 1.35 V @ 50 A, 25°C - enables <1.5 W conduction loss per device at nominal load |
| QG | 120 nC - determines gate drive power and influences switching speed under fixed RG |
| trr (diode) | 62 ns @ 50 A, 25°C - ensures low reverse recovery energy and reduced shoot-through risk in half-bridge operation |
| Tvj(max) | 175°C - allows higher thermal margin and extended lifetime in forced-air-cooled industrial enclosures |
| Rth(j–C) | 0.55 K/W - enables 274 W power dissipation at TC = 25°C, critical for thermal design of compact heatsinks |
Pinout & Package
PG-TO247-4 package with isolated collector tab (backside), four leads: Collector (C), Emitter (E), Kelvin Emitter (K), and Gate (G). The Kelvin emitter provides separate low-inductance sensing path for gate control, decoupling power and signal loops.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C / Backside | Collector | Main high-side power terminal; backside metal pad serves as primary heat sink interface and current return path |
| E | Power Emitter | Carries full load current to low-side circuit; connects to main emitter rail and heatsink ground |
| K | Kelvin Emitter | Provides gate driver feedback reference point-must be routed separately from E to avoid voltage drop interference |
| G | Gate | Controls IGBT channel; requires low-inductance gate loop and stable ±20 V drive capability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Soft-switching optimized IGBT | Low tail current and controlled dV/dt reduce snubber losses and EMI in resonant and phase-shifted topologies |
| RAPID 1 antiparallel diode | Full-rated 80 A diode with soft recovery (Qrr = 1.40 µC) minimizes commutation stress on complementary switch |
| Kelvin emitter configuration | Separates gate reference from power return, enabling accurate VGE control and improved short-circuit ruggedness |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108 for industrial UPS and welding applications with 175°C operation |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; lead plating free for environmentally compliant manufacturing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed soft-switching IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW50N65ES5 | Same die, PG-TO247-3 package; no Kelvin emitter terminal | Lacks dedicated Kelvin emitter-requires careful PCB layout to minimize gate loop inductance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for precision gate control in lower-power (<30 kW) designs |
| FGH50T65SQD | 650 V, 50 A; uses Field Stop IV process; QG = 135 nC; no Kelvin emitter; RAPID diode with trr = 75 ns | Higher QG and slower diode recovery increase switching loss in high-frequency soft-switching | Preferable only if legacy gate driver compatibility with higher QG is required and thermal margin permits |
Compared with IKW50N65ES5 and FGH50T65SQD, IKZ50N65ES5XKSA1 uniquely combines Kelvin emitter architecture, lowest VCE(sat) (1.35 V), and fastest diode recovery (62 ns), making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-reliability industrial inverters where gate control fidelity and commutation softness are critical.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the Kelvin emitter (pin K) in IKZ50N65ES5XKSA1?
The Kelvin emitter provides a dedicated low-inductance reference path for the gate driver, isolating the gate control loop from high di/dt power emitter current. This prevents voltage drop-induced gate underdrive during fast switching, improving turn-on consistency and short-circuit ruggedness-critical in high-power bridge-leg configurations.
How does the RAPID 1 diode differ from standard fast recovery diodes in this IGBT?
The RAPID 1 diode is co-packaged and fully rated at 80 A, with soft reverse recovery (trr = 62 ns, Qrr = 1.40 µC at 50 A, 25°C) and high di/dt tolerance (–1100 A/µs). Unlike discrete diodes, its parameters are tightly matched to the IGBT die, ensuring predictable commutation behavior and eliminating mismatch-related voltage spikes in half-bridge operation.
Can IKZ50N65ES5XKSA1 replace IKW50N65ES5 in an existing design?
Yes-but only with PCB layout revision. IKZ50N65ES5XKSA1 adds a Kelvin emitter pin (K), requiring separate routing from the power emitter (E). Direct socket replacement is not possible; the gate driver must connect to K instead of E, and the power E must carry full load current without referencing gate control. Layout changes are mandatory to realize the performance benefit.
What thermal derating applies above 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, continuous collector current drops to 60.5 A (from 80 A at 25°C), and total power dissipation falls to 137 W (from 274 W). Thermal resistance Rth(j–C) remains 0.55 K/W, so junction temperature rise is linear: ΔTvj = Ptot × 0.55. Operation beyond 175°C junction is prohibited per datasheet absolute maximum ratings.
