Product details
Overview
IKZA40N120CS7XKSA1 from Infineon is a short-circuit rugged 1200 V, 40 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT 7 co-packed with a full-current soft-recovery Emitter Controlled 7 diode in PG-TO247-4-STD-NT3.7 package; features VCE(sat) = 2.0 V at Tvj = 175°C, 8 µs short-circuit withstand time, and optimized hard-switching performance for 2-level inverters and 3-level NPC/T-type topologies in industrial power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the IKZA40N120CS7XKSA1 datasheet, IKZA40N120CS7XKSA1 pinout, IKZA40N120CS7XKSA1 application, or IKZA40N120CS7XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1200 V blocking voltage, 40 A rated current, co-packaged diode Qrr and softness, thermal resistance Rth(j-c) = 0.42 K/W (IGBT), and gate charge QG = 230 nC for gate driver sizing.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs TRENCHSTOP™ 7 silicon technology with field-stop and trench-gate structures to achieve low conduction loss and controlled switching behavior. Its co-packaged Emitter Controlled 7 diode delivers low Qrr (2.5 µC typ. at 25°C) and soft reverse recovery (trr = 110 ns typ.), minimizing voltage overshoot and EMI in high-dv/dt inverter legs.
The device is rated for 1200 V DC collector-emitter voltage and supports hard-switching operation up to 175°C junction temperature, with validated short-circuit ruggedness of 8 µs under VCC ≤ 600 V and VGE = 15 V - enabling robust protection in motor drive and solar inverter fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE | 1200 V - enables use in 1000 V DC-link industrial and solar applications without derating. |
| IC | 40 A - continuous current rating at Tc = 100°C, suitable for 15–25 kW inverter stages. |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0 V at Tvj = 175°C - low conduction loss improves efficiency and reduces heatsink requirements. |
| tSC | 8 µs - verified short-circuit withstand time allows reliable overcurrent protection with fast desat detection. |
| QG | 230 nC - determines gate driver peak current requirement (~57.5 A for 4 Ω turn-on resistor). |
| Rth(j-c) (IGBT) | 0.42 K/W - enables thermal design with direct case mounting and moderate heatsink interface resistance. |
| trr / Qrr | 110 ns / 2.5 µC at 25°C - soft, low-charge diode recovery reduces snubber stress and EMI filtering burden. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO247-4-STD-NT3.7 - 4-pin through-hole package with isolated emitter (E2) for Kelvin sensing, supporting low-inductance gate drive and accurate VCE monitoring.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output terminal | High-side switch node connection; carries full load current and handles 1200 V blocking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IKW40N120H3 | 1200 V, 40 A TRENCHSTOP™ 3 IGBT; no co-packaged diode; higher VCE(sat) = 2.2 V at 175°C; 6 µs SC rating. | Requires external diode; less suited for space-constrained designs needing integrated diode softness. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs diode integration benefit and thermal margin permits higher VCE(sat). |
| FF400R12ME4 | 1200 V, 400 A module with built-in NTC and press-fit terminals; includes anti-parallel diodes but larger footprint and higher gate charge (QG ≈ 1200 nC). | Targeted at high-power (>100 kW) systems; not drop-in compatible due to package, pinout, and drive requirements. | Choose for scalable multi-kW platforms where module-level integration and thermal management supersede discrete flexibility. |
Compared with IKW40N120H3 and FF400R12ME4, IKZA40N120CS7XKSA1 uniquely combines discrete-level design freedom, integrated soft diode, and 8 µs short-circuit ruggedness - making it optimal for compact, high-reliability 15–30 kW industrial inverters requiring minimal external components and precise fault control.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the 4th pin (E2) on the IKZA40N120CS7XKSA1?
The E2 pin is a Kelvin emitter terminal isolated from the main emitter (E1). It provides a dedicated low-inductance path for gate driver feedback and VCE desaturation detection, enabling accurate real-time monitoring of IGBT saturation voltage without interference from power loop voltage drops.
Can IKZA40N120CS7XKSA1 be used in 3-level T-type inverters?
Yes - its 1200 V blocking voltage, 40 A current rating, and co-packaged soft diode make it suitable for high-side and low-side positions in 3-level T-type inverters. The device's 8 µs short-circuit rating and dv/dt controllability support safe operation during shoot-through fault conditions common in T-type topologies.
How does the Emitter Controlled 7 diode differ from standard FRD diodes?
The EC7 diode features tailored carrier lifetime control and optimized doping profiles to deliver lower Qrr (2.5 µC vs. >4 µC typical for FRDs), reduced peak reverse recovery current (Irrm = 63 A), and soft recovery (no current snap-off), minimizing voltage overshoot and EMI generation during commutation in high-frequency inverters.
Is thermal derating required when operating above 100°C case temperature?
Yes - the datasheet specifies IC = 40 A at Tc = 100°C and IC = 82 A at Tc = 25°C. Operation above 100°C requires linear derating per the Rth(j-c) = 0.42 K/W curve; junction temperature must remain ≤175°C, and Infineon recommends staying below 80% of max ratings for long-term reliability.
