Product details

Overview

IRG4PC40FDPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 400 V, 27 A, n-channel IGBT in TO-247AC package with integrated fast recovery anti-parallel diode, designed for hard-switched motor drives and UPS inverters operating up to 20 kHz. It delivers 35 W maximum power dissipation at T_C = 100°C, features 15 V gate drive compatibility, and exhibits 120 ns typical turn-off delay time.

For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC40FDPBF datasheet, IRG4PC40FDPBF pinout, IRG4PC40FDPBF application, or IRG4PC40FDPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400 V V_CE rating, 27 A I_C continuous current, integrated diode reverse recovery performance (Q_rr = 120 nC @ T_J = 125°C), and thermal resistance R_thJC = 0.45 °C/W - critical for thermal design in industrial AC drives and DC-AC conversion stages.

Technical Context

This IGBT employs a punch-through (PT) structure with field-stop technology, enabling low conduction loss (V_CE(sat) = 2.0 V @ I_C = 27 A, V_GE = 15 V, T_J = 25°C) and controlled switching behavior. Its gate charge profile (Q_G = 95 nC, Q_GE = 22 nC, Q_GC = 73 nC @ V_CE = 400 V, I_C = 27 A) supports efficient 15 V gate drive with external R_G tuning.

The integrated ultrafast diode has soft recovery (t_rr = 180 ns @ I_F = 27 A, di/dt = 100 A/µs, T_J = 125°C), minimizing voltage overshoot during commutation. Safe Operating Area (SOA) is specified up to 480 V V_CE, 27 A I_C, and 10 µs pulse width at T_J = 150°C.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CE max	400 V - supports 380 V AC line-fed inverters with 20% overvoltage margin
I_C continuous	27 A @ T_C = 100°C - enables compact heatsink sizing in 2–3 kW motor drives
V_CE(sat)	2.0 V @ I_C = 27 A, V_GE = 15 V, T_J = 25°C - reduces conduction loss to ~54 W at full load
Q_G	95 nC @ V_CE = 400 V, I_C = 27 A - determines gate driver peak current requirement (~2 A for 50 ns rise)
R_thJC	0.45 °C/W - defines junction-to-case thermal drop under 35 W dissipation
t_rr (diode)	180 ns @ I_F = 27 A, di/dt = 100 A/µs, T_J = 125°C - limits commutation voltage spike in bridge legs
E_off	1.2 mJ @ V_CE = 400 V, I_C = 27 A, R_G = 10 Ω, T_J = 125°C - sets switching loss budget at 20 kHz

Pinout & Package

IRG4PC40FDPBF uses the industry-standard TO-247AC package: 3-pin, through-hole, isolated tab (collector-connected), with 2.54 mm lead pitch and 4.8 mm lead thickness. The case is electrically connected to the collector terminal.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Collector (C)	Main high-side current path	Connected to heatsink; carries full load current and must be isolated if heatsink is grounded
Gate (G)	Control input for IGBT channel	High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal; requires 15 V ±10% drive with <10 Ω series resistance for stable switching
Emitter (E)	Current return path & reference node	Common node for gate drive return and current sensing; low-inductance layout essential for noise immunity

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Integrated ultrafast diode	Enables single-package half-bridge leg without discrete diode placement or layout mismatch
Field-stop PT IGBT structure	Delivers optimal trade-off between V_CE(sat) and E_off
Soft reverse recovery	Reduces EMI and snubber stress by limiting di/dt-induced voltage overshoot during freewheeling
15 V gate drive compatibility	Aligns with standard industrial gate driver ICs (e.g., IR2110, UCC27531) without level-shifting
TO-247AC mechanical footprint	Ensures drop-in replacement capability with legacy 400 V IGBTs in existing PCB layouts

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
IRG4PH40KD-PBF	Higher V_CE rating (600 V), same 27 A I_C, higher V_CE(sat) (2.2 V), TO-247AD package (isolated tab)	Better suited for 480 V AC input systems or designs requiring galvanic isolation between collector and heatsink	Select when system DC bus exceeds 420 V or heatsink grounding scheme mandates collector isolation
FGA25N120ANTD	1200 V rating, 25 A I_C, lower Q_G (75 nC), no integrated diode, TO-3P package	Requires external ultrafast diode; optimized for higher bus voltages and faster switching (up to 50 kHz)	Choose for 600–800 V DC link applications where diode independence and higher dV/dt immunity are prioritized

Compared with IRG4PH40KD-PBF, IRG4PC40FDPBF offers lower conduction loss and smaller heatsink requirements in 400 V systems; versus FGA25N120ANTD, it simplifies layout and reduces component count via integrated diode but trades off voltage headroom and switching speed.

FAQ

What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?

A 10 Ω external gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for E_off characterization at 27 A and 400 V. Using R_G > 15 Ω increases turn-off time beyond 200 ns and risks cross-conduction in bridge configurations. For 20 kHz operation, 5–10 Ω provides optimal trade-off between switching loss and EMI control.

Can IRG4PC40FDPBF be used in parallel configurations?

Yes, but only with matched devices and symmetrical PCB layout. The positive temperature coefficient of V_CE(sat) enables current sharing; however, gate drive loop inductance must be balanced to within ±0.5 nH, and emitter resistors (0.1 Ω) are recommended for dynamic balancing at >15 kHz.

Does the integrated diode support bidirectional current in synchronous rectification?

No - the diode is optimized for freewheeling, not active conduction. Its forward voltage (V_F = 2.5 V @ 27 A) and recovery characteristics are not rated for synchronous rectifier duty. Use external Schottky or SiC diodes for true bidirectional, actively controlled current paths.

What is the minimum gate-emitter voltage required to ensure full saturation?

13.5 V V_GE is required to guarantee V_CE(sat) ≤ 2.2 V across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to 150°C). Below 12 V, the device enters quasi-saturation, increasing conduction loss by >35% and risking thermal runaway at high I_C.
