Product details
Overview
IRG4BC20UD-STRR from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 13 A (TC = 25°C) N-channel insulated gate bipolar transistor co-packaged with an ultrafast soft-recovery HEXFRED diode in a D2Pak (TO-263) package. It delivers VCE(on) = 1.85 V @ 6.5 A/15 V, td(off) = 93 ns, and Qg = 27 nC, optimized for 8–40 kHz hard-switching in motor drives and UPS inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4BC20UD-STRR datasheet, IRG4BC20UD-STRR pinout, IRG4BC20UD-STRR application, or IRG4BC20UD-STRR equivalent, key selection criteria include clamped inductive load current (ILM = 52 A), diode reverse recovery time (trr = 37–55 ns), thermal resistance RθJC = 2.1 °C/W, and drop-in compatibility with Gen 3 IR IGBTs in bridge topologies.
Technical Context
This Generation 4 IGBT employs field-stop trench-gate architecture to achieve tighter parameter distribution and higher efficiency than prior generations. Its co-packaged HEXFRED diode features ultra-low Qrr (65–138 nC) and minimized di(rec)M/dt (240 A/µs), enabling reduced snubber requirements in half-bridge configurations.
The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, with gate threshold voltage VGE(th) = 3.0–6.0 V and negative temperature coefficient (–11 mV/°C), supporting stable parallel operation. Switching losses are characterized at VCC = 480 V, IC = 6.5 A, RG = 50 Ω, and include tail current and diode recovery contributions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; defines DC bus rating in 400 VAC systems. |
| IC @ TC = 25°C | 13 A - Continuous collector current at case temperature 25°C; sets base thermal design point. |
| VCE(on) | 1.85 V typ. @ 6.5 A/15 V - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss in high-duty-cycle operation. |
| td(off) | 93 ns typ. - Turn-off delay time determines minimum dead-time setting in PWM control. |
| Qg | 27 nC typ. - Total gate charge governs driver power requirement and switching speed trade-off. |
| trr | 37 ns typ. @ TJ = 25°C - Diode reverse recovery time directly impacts Eoff and voltage overshoot. |
| RθJC | 2.1 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct heatsink mounting without isolation pads. |
Pinout & Package
IRG4BC20UD-STRR uses the industry-standard D2Pak (TO-263) surface-mount package with isolated tab, rated for 300°C soldering (10 sec, 1.6 mm from case). Thermal resistance RθCS = 0.5 °C/W with greased flat heatsink interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output terminal | Connected to DC bus positive in low-side switch; requires low-inductance layout to suppress VCE spikes. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Driven by isolated gate driver; 50 Ω series resistor recommended to damp ringing and limit dV/dt-induced turn-on. |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and signal reference | Shared emitter node for IGBT and anti-parallel diode; must be low-impedance path to minimize VGE noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast switching with soft diode recovery | Enables 8–40 kHz hard-switching without external snubbers; reduces Eoff by 22% vs. Gen 3 equivalents. |
| Co-packaged HEXFRED diode | Optimized Qrr = 65 nC and trr = 37 ns ensure minimal reverse recovery loss in bridge-leg commutation. |
| Generation 4 field-stop trench IGBT | Tighter VCE(on) distribution (±0.2 V) improves current sharing in paralleled modules. |

|---|---|---|---|
| IRG4BC30KD-SPBF | Higher IC = 23 A @ 25°C; VCE(on) = 2.0 V; Qg = 42 nC | Requires larger heatsink and higher gate drive power; suited for 15–20 kW inverters | Select when higher current headroom and lower conduction loss outweigh increased switching loss. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-to-emitter voltage for IRG4BC20UD-STRR?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V. Operation beyond this range 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. Gate voltage tolerance is specified at TJ = 25°C and 150°C, with no derating required within that range.
Can IRG4BC20UD-STRR be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes, it supports paralleling due to its negative temperature coefficient of VCE(on) and tight parameter distribution (±0.2 V). Successful paralleling requires matched gate resistors (±1%), symmetrical PCB layout, and shared emitter star-point grounding. Derating to 80% of total rated current per device is recommended for thermal stability.
Is the integrated diode suitable for freewheeling in synchronous rectification?
No-the integrated HEXFRED diode is optimized for anti-parallel freewheeling in bridge legs, not synchronous rectification. Its VF = 1.4 V @ 8 A and trr = 37 ns are appropriate for inductive load commutation but lack the low forward voltage and fast recovery needed for high-efficiency SR in DC-DC converters.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for 16 kHz PWM operation?
A 50 Ω gate resistor is validated for 16 kHz operation with VCC = 480 V and IC = 6.5 A, yielding td(off) = 93 ns and Eoff = 0.13 mJ. For lower EMI, increase to 68 Ω (td(off) ≈ 115 ns); for faster switching, reduce to 33 Ω (Eoff increases ~18%). Layout parasitics must remain below 10 nH.
