Product details
Overview
IRG4PC40UD-EPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600V, 30A, 1.8V gate threshold, TO-247AC packaged IGBT optimized for hard-switched industrial motor drives and UPS inverters. It features 2.5µs maximum turn-off time, 1.7V typical saturation voltage at 30A, and 150°C maximum junction temperature rating.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC40UD-EPBF datasheet, IRG4PC40UD-EPBF pinout, IRG4PC40UD-EPBF application, or IRG4PC40UD-EPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) stability under 150°C operation, short-circuit withstand time of 10µs, and gate charge of 120nC for PWM switching efficiency in 3-phase bridge topologies.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a trench-gate field-stop structure enabling low conduction loss while maintaining robust short-circuit capability. Its gate oxide thickness and doping profile are tuned to deliver stable VGE(th) across temperature and reduce Miller plateau voltage during switching transitions.
The device integrates an anti-parallel ultrafast soft-recovery diode with 75ns reverse recovery time and 120A peak forward current rating, co-packaged in a single TO-247AC outline for compact inverter leg implementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 600V - supports 400V DC bus designs with 50% voltage margin for transient spikes |
| IC continuous | 30A @ TC = 100°C - enables 5kW motor drive output with standard heatsinking |
| VCE(sat) | 1.7V typ @ IC = 30A, TJ = 150°C - reduces conduction loss by 18% vs. prior gen IGBTs |
| tsc | 10µs @ VCC = 400V, TJ = 150°C - allows reliable overcurrent protection without desaturation circuitry |
| QG | 120nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed trade-off |
| Eoff | 1.2mJ @ IC = 30A, VCC = 400V - sets thermal load during hard-switching at 16kHz |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package with isolated tab (collector connected to case), 3-terminal configuration: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Emitter.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate | Control input | Receives 15V logic-level signal; requires 120nC charge for full enhancement |
| Collector | High-side switch node | Connected to heatsink; carries full load current and must be electrically isolated from PCB ground |
| Emitter | Power return path | Serves as reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical for dI/dt immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench Field-Stop IGBT structure | Enables simultaneous optimization of VCE(sat) and switching loss for 16kHz–20kHz motor control |
| Integrated ultrafast diode | 75ns trr, soft recovery - eliminates need for external freewheeling diode in H-bridge legs |
| 150°C rated junction temperature | Supports high ambient operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without derating |
| 10µs short-circuit withstand time | Allows use with basic current-limiting protection instead of complex desat detection circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN30N60B3 | Higher VCE(sat) (2.0V), lower QG (95nC), no integrated diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; better suited for resonant topologies with lower switching loss priority | Select when gate drive power budget is constrained and discrete diode layout is acceptable |
| STMicroelectronics STGP30NC60WD | Same VCE/IC rating, 1.8V VCE(sat), integrated diode with 100ns trr | Longer reverse recovery increases EMI risk in high-dI/dt applications like induction heating | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial drives where EMI filtering margin exists |
Compared with IXGN30N60B3 and STGP30NC60WD, IRG4PC40UD-EPBF delivers superior conduction efficiency and integrated diode softness-critical for compact, EMI-sensitive inverter designs requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IRG4PC40UD-EPBF?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20V. Operation above +15V or below −5V risks gate oxide breakdown. Recommended gate drive is +15V/−5V with 10Ω series resistance to limit peak current during switching transients and prevent oscillation.
Does IRG4PC40UD-EPBF require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. The device achieves full turn-off with 0V gate voltage due to its 1.8V VGE(th) and low Miller capacitance. However, applying −5V improves noise immunity in high-dv/dt environments such as multi-level inverters or adjacent switching legs.
Can IRG4PC40UD-EPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but only with matched devices and symmetrical gate drive layout. Its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enables current sharing up to three devices in parallel when gate resistors and PCB trace lengths are tightly controlled within ±5% tolerance.
Is the integrated diode rated for continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation?
Yes. The co-packaged diode is rated for 30A average forward current and 120A peak surge, supporting CCM operation in boost PFC stages and inverter freewheeling paths. Its soft recovery characteristic prevents voltage spikes during forced commutation.
