Product details
Overview
IRG4PC40UDPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 20 A, 1.5 V gate threshold N-channel IGBT in TO-247AC package, optimized for hard-switched motor control and UPS inverters with low conduction and switching losses.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC40UDPBF datasheet, IRG4PC40UDPBF pinout, IRG4PC40UDPBF application, or IRG4PC40UDPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) @ 10 A (1.85 V), EON (0.9 mJ), EOFF (0.45 mJ), tf (120 ns), and TJ(max) (150 °C).
Technical Context
This IGBT employs punch-through (PT) structure with field-stop layer and optimized carrier lifetime control to balance switching speed and saturation voltage. It integrates an anti-parallel ultrafast soft-recovery diode rated at 20 A / 600 V in the same TO-247AC package.
The device operates with 15 V gate drive and supports gate-emitter voltage range of –20 V to +20 V. Its short-circuit withstand time is 10 µs at 15 V VGE, TJ = 125 °C, and VCE = 400 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE(max) | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 400–480 V DC bus applications |
| IC @ TC=25°C | 20 A - Continuous collector current rating at case temperature 25 °C |
| VCE(sat) @ IC=10 A | 1.85 V - Low saturation voltage enabling <1.5 W conduction loss at 10 A |
| EON + EOFF | 1.35 mJ @ VCE=400 V, IC=10 A - Total switching energy per cycle at typical inverter operating point |
| tf | 120 ns - Fast fall time supporting 20 kHz PWM operation with minimal tail current |
| TJ(max) | 150 °C - Maximum junction temperature defining thermal derating limits |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package: 3-pin through-hole outline with isolated tab (collector connected to tab), standard lead spacing and creepage distance for industrial isolation requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side power terminal | Connected to heatsink via isolated tab; carries full load current and blocks 600 V |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Receives ±20 V logic-level signal; requires 47 nC total gate charge for full turn-on |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common source for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance path critical for dV/dt immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast soft-recovery anti-parallel diode | Integrated 20 A / 600 V diode with 35 ns reverse recovery time and low Qrr, eliminating need for external freewheeling diode |
| Low VCE(sat) with robust short-circuit capability | 1.85 V @ 10 A and 10 µs short-circuit withstand time enable high-efficiency motor drives without overdesign |
| Field-stop PT IGBT structure | Optimized carrier distribution reduces switching losses while maintaining ruggedness at 150 °C junction temperature |
| Isolated TO-247AC package | Tab-isolated construction allows direct mounting to heatsink without insulating washer, reducing thermal resistance by up to 0.5 K/W |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT-based inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRG4PH40KD-PBF | Higher VCE(sat) (2.1 V @ 10 A), lower EOFF (0.35 mJ), same TO-247AC package | Better suited for higher-frequency (>30 kHz) resonant converters where switching loss dominates | Select when prioritizing EOFF reduction over conduction loss in high-speed designs |
| FGA25N120ANTD | 1200 V rating, 25 A IC, higher VCE(sat) (2.4 V), no integrated diode | Required for 600–800 V DC bus systems like EV chargers or industrial rectifiers | Choose only when 1200 V blocking capability is mandatory; external diode needed |
Compared with IRG4PC40UDPBF, IRG4PH40KD-PBF trades 0.25 V higher saturation voltage for 0.1 mJ lower turn-off energy, while FGA25N120ANTD sacrifices integration and conduction efficiency for doubled voltage rating-making IRG4PC40UDPBF optimal for cost-sensitive 400–480 V hard-switched inverters.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRG4PC40UDPBF?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is –20 V to +20 V. Operation beyond ±20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –10 V for turn-off to ensure robust noise immunity and prevent spurious conduction during high dV/dt transitions.
Does IRG4PC40UDPBF include an integrated diode?
Yes, it integrates a co-packaged ultrafast soft-recovery diode rated at 20 A and 600 V. The diode shares the same TO-247AC package and has reverse recovery time (trr) of 35 ns and peak reverse recovery current (IRRM) of 25 A, eliminating the need for discrete freewheeling diodes in most inverter topologies.
What is the short-circuit withstand time specification?
The device is rated for 10 µs short-circuit withstand time at VCE = 400 V, VGE = 15 V, and TJ = 125 °C. This rating assumes proper gate drive strength and layout; exceeding this duration risks thermal runaway and irreversible failure.
Can IRG4PC40UDPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Parallel operation is not recommended due to positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) being insufficient for self-balancing. Mismatched dynamic parameters (especially gate charge and Miller capacitance) cause current imbalance. For >20 A systems, use a single higher-current IGBT or implement active current-sharing circuits.
