Product details
Overview
IRG4BC20KDSTRLP from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 15 A n-channel IGBT with ultrafast soft-recovery co-packaged diode in D²PAK (TO-263) package, rated for 60 W continuous power dissipation at TC = 100 °C, and optimized for 20 kHz–40 kHz hard-switched SMPS and motor control inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4BC20KDSTRLP datasheet, IRG4BC20KDSTRLP pinout, IRG4BC20KDSTRLP application, or IRG4BC20KDSTRLP equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) = 2.0 V @ IC = 9 A, trr = 120 ns, QG = 38 nC, RG = 6 Ω gate resistance, and integrated diode reverse recovery charge Qrr = 120 nC - all critical for minimizing switching loss and EMI in high-frequency DC-DC converters.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs trench-gate field-stop technology to achieve low conduction loss and controlled turn-off tail current. Its co-packaged diode features soft reverse recovery with peak reverse recovery di/dt < 100 A/µs and trr ≤ 120 ns at IF = 9 A, VR = 200 V, TJ = 125 °C.
The device operates with 15 V gate drive (±20 V max), supports 600 V blocking capability, and delivers 18 A peak pulsed collector current (tp = 10 µs, D = 0.01). Thermal resistance RthJC is 0.83 °C/W, enabling compact heatsink design in space-constrained industrial drives.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Maximum repetitive blocking voltage across collector-emitter under open-gate condition. |
| IC (continuous) | 15 A @ TC = 100 °C - Continuous DC current rating defining thermal derating envelope. |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0 V @ IC = 9 A, VGE = 15 V - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss in high-current output stages. |
| trr | 120 ns @ IF = 9 A, VR = 200 V, TJ = 125 °C - Fast, soft diode recovery minimizes voltage overshoot and snubber stress. |
| QG | 38 nC @ VGE = 15 V - Total gate charge determines required driver peak current and switching speed trade-off. |
| Eoff | 1.2 mJ @ VCC = 480 V, IC = 9 A, RG = 6 Ω, TJ = 125 °C - Turn-off energy directly impacts thermal design of high-frequency inverters. |
| RthJC | 0.83 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct mounting on heatsinks without thermal interface material degradation concerns. |
Pinout & Package
IRG4BC20KDSTRLP uses the surface-mount D²PAK (TO-263) package with three terminals: Gate (G), Collector (C), and Emitter (E). The package features a copper leadframe for low-inductance layout and enhanced thermal transfer to PCB copper pour or heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control input terminal | Receives 15 V logic-level drive signal; requires 38 nC total charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (HBM Class 1B). |
| Collector (C) | High-side power output node | Connects to DC bus (up to 600 V); carries switched load current; electrically isolated from heatsink via package backside insulation. |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common source for gate drive return path; must be routed with minimal inductance to avoid shoot-through risk during switching transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast soft-recovery diode | Qrr = 120 nC, trr = 120 ns - Reduces diode-induced voltage spikes and EMI in bridge-leg configurations. |
| Trench-gate field-stop structure | VCE(sat) = 2.0 V @ 9 A - Enables >95% efficiency in 24 V–48 V input DC-DC converters operating at 30 kHz. |
| Low gate charge | QG = 38 nC - Allows use of low-power gate drivers (e.g., 1EDN7512B) without external buffer stages. |
| Robust short-circuit withstand | 10 µs @ VCE = 480 V, TJ = 150 °C - Supports fault detection and protection in servo amplifier designs. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 3-phase inverter stage in 1–3 kW variable-frequency drives for HVAC compressors and pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in each half-bridge leg; commutates at 4–16 kHz with sinusoidal PWM modulation. Use Value: Soft diode recovery eliminates need for external anti-parallel diodes and reduces snubber capacitor size by 40%. | Use Scenario: Online double-conversion UPS output inverter delivering clean 230 VAC sine wave from 400 VDC bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch in full-bridge topology; synchronized with complementary low-side IGBTs using dead-time control. Use Value: 600 V rating ensures margin against 480 VDC bus transients; 15 A rating supports 2.5 kVA continuous output. |
| Switch-Mode Power Supplies | Induction Heating Systems |
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 1.2 kW resonant LLC DC-DC converter for telecom rectifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hard-switched main transistor operating at 200–300 kHz zero-voltage switching boundary. Use Value: Low Eoff (1.2 mJ) and fast trr enable stable ZVS operation without auxiliary circuits. | Use Scenario: Half-bridge inverter driving 20–50 kHz resonant tank for 5 kW domestic induction cooktops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency switching element handling 18 A peak current pulses with 50% duty cycle. Use Value: Integrated diode eliminates discrete diode placement error and improves thermal coupling between switch and freewheeling path. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGP15H60DF | VCE(sat) = 2.2 V @ 15 A; QG = 42 nC; trr = 150 ns | Higher conduction loss and slower diode recovery increase thermal stress in 30 kHz+ designs. | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and board space allows larger heatsink. |
| IXGH15N60C3D1 | VCE(sat) = 1.8 V @ 15 A; no co-packaged diode; separate ultrafast diode required | Requires external diode routing and layout coordination, increasing PCB complexity and parasitic inductance. | Chosen when discrete diode selection (e.g., MUR1560) is needed for custom recovery tuning or reliability validation. |
Compared with STGP15H60DF and IXGH15N60C3D1, IRG4BC20KDSTRLP offers the best balance of low VCE(sat), fast soft recovery, and integrated packaging - reducing BOM count and layout risk in space-constrained 2–5 kW industrial inverters.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRG4BC20KDSTRLP?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V. Operation above +15 V or below −10 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and −5 V to −10 V for active Miller clamping during turn-off to prevent false triggering.
Does IRG4BC20KDSTRLP require an external freewheeling diode?
No. It integrates a soft-recovery ultrafast diode co-packaged in the same D²PAK housing. This diode has trr = 120 ns and Qrr = 120 nC at rated conditions, eliminating the need for discrete antiparallel diodes in standard inverter topologies.
What is the short-circuit withstand time at 480 V and 125 °C junction temperature?
IRG4BC20KDSTRLP guarantees 10 µs short-circuit withstand time at VCE = 480 V and TJ = 125 °C. This enables robust overcurrent protection implementation using fast desaturation detection circuits without compromising system reliability.
Can IRG4BC20KDSTRLP be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but only with matched devices and symmetrical gate drive layout. Its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient (−1.2 mV/°C) supports current sharing; however, gate resistance must be individually tuned per paralleled unit to ensure simultaneous turn-on and minimize dynamic imbalance.
