Product details
Overview
IRG4BC40W-STRRP from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 40 A, n-channel IGBT in D2Pak (TO-263) package with 2.5 V gate threshold voltage, 1.8 Ω typical output resistance at 25°C, and 150 ns typical turn-off delay time - designed for high-efficiency motor drives and UPS inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4BC40W-STRRP datasheet, IRG4BC40W-STRRP pinout, IRG4BC40W-STRRP application, or IRG4BC40W-STRRP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking capability, 40 A continuous collector current rating, low conduction loss (VCE(sat) = 2.7 V @ IC = 40 A), fast switching performance (tfall = 120 ns), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.45 °C/W).
Technical Context
This IGBT uses a non-punch-through (NPT) silicon structure optimized for hard-switching applications up to 20 kHz. It integrates an anti-parallel ultrafast soft-recovery diode with 150 ns reverse recovery time and 40 A peak forward current capability.
The device operates with a fixed gate-emitter voltage range of ±20 V, requires minimum 15 V drive for full saturation, and exhibits controlled Miller plateau behavior (VGE(pl) ≈ 6.5 V) to support robust gate driving in bridge configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - maximum repetitive collector-emitter blocking voltage, enabling use in 400 V DC bus industrial inverters |
| IC (TC = 100°C) | 40 A - continuous collector current rating at case temperature of 100°C, defining thermal design margin for heatsink sizing |
| VCE(sat) @ IC = 40 A | 2.7 V - on-state voltage drop determining conduction loss and junction temperature rise under load |
| tfall | 120 ns - fall time at VCC = 480 V, IC = 40 A, RG = 10 Ω, setting minimum achievable PWM period |
| RθJC | 0.45 °C/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance, directly used to calculate ΔTJ = Ptot × 0.45 |
| QG | 125 nC - total gate charge at VGE = 15 V, defining required gate driver peak current (IPK ≥ QG/trise) |
| Eoff | 1.9 mJ - turn-off energy at VCC = 480 V, IC = 20 A, RG = 10 Ω, critical for snubber and driver power dissipation |
Pinout & Package
D2Pak (TO-263) surface-mount package with isolated tab, 3-pin configuration, 2.54 mm pitch, and 15.8 mm × 10.16 mm footprint - compatible with standard reflow profiles and suitable for automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main power output terminal | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be mounted to heatsink with electrically insulating thermal interface |
| Emitter | Power return path and reference node | Serves as common emitter for gate drive reference; carries full load current and must be low-inductance routed |
| Gate | Control input terminal | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal requiring <100 nF local decoupling and <10 Ω series gate resistor for dV/dt control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low VCE(sat) | 2.7 V @ 40 A enables >98% efficiency in 5 kW motor drives at rated load |
| Short-circuit withstand time | 10 µs @ 15 V VGE, 480 V VCC supports robust protection circuit design without desaturation sensing complexity |
| Integrated freewheeling diode | Ultrafast soft-recovery diode with trr = 150 ns reduces EMI and eliminates need for external diode in half-bridge legs |
| Positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) | Enables inherent current sharing in parallel IGBT configurations without external ballasting resistors |
| Low gate charge | 125 nC allows use of cost-effective 2 A peak gate drivers instead of higher-current alternatives |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRG4PH40UD-LLPBF | 600 V, 40 A, TO-247 package; lower VCE(sat) (2.4 V), higher QG (145 nC), RθJC = 0.35 °C/W | Requires through-hole assembly; better thermal performance but larger PCB footprint and no integrated diode | Select when board-level thermal resistance dominates and discrete diode layout is acceptable |
| IKW40N60H3 | 600 V, 40 A, TO-247 package; trench-gate field-stop IGBT; VCE(sat) = 1.6 V, Eoff = 0.95 mJ, RθJC = 0.33 °C/W | Higher switching speed but no integrated diode; requires external ultrafast diode and tighter gate drive timing control | Select for highest efficiency in 20–40 kHz resonant converters where diode independence is preferred |
Compared with IRG4PH40UD-LLPBF and IKW40N60H3, the IRG4BC40W-STRRP offers optimal balance of surface-mount compatibility, integrated diode functionality, and predictable switching behavior - making it ideal for space-constrained, medium-frequency motor drive designs where assembly simplicity and EMI control are prioritized over marginal efficiency gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRG4BC40W-STRRP?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V. Operation above +20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage, while negative voltage beyond –20 V may cause gate-source junction breakdown. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for saturation and –5 V to –8 V for active Miller clamping during turn-off.
Does IRG4BC40W-STRRP have an integrated body diode?
No - it does not have a parasitic body diode like MOSFETs. Instead, it includes a co-packaged ultrafast soft-recovery freewheeling diode with trr = 150 ns and Qrr = 120 nC, electrically isolated from the IGBT die but thermally coupled in the same D2Pak package.
Can IRG4BC40W-STRRP be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) enables stable current sharing. Successful paralleling requires matched gate drive impedance (<±5% variation), symmetrical PCB layout, and identical heatsink mounting pressure to ensure uniform thermal resistance across devices.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for 16 kHz PWM operation?
A 10 Ω gate resistor is validated for 16 kHz operation with VCC = 480 V and IC = 40 A, yielding tfall = 120 ns and Eoff = 1.9 mJ. Lower values (e.g., 5 Ω) reduce switching loss but increase dV/dt stress; higher values (e.g., 22 Ω) improve EMI but raise total losses by ~12%.
