Product details
Overview
IRG4PC50FD-EPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 70 A, 200 W field-stop IGBT in TO-247AD package, optimized for hard-switching motor drives and UPS inverters with low conduction and switching losses. It features short-circuit ruggedness up to 10 µs and a positive temperature coefficient for inherent current sharing.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC50FD-EPBF datasheet, IRG4PC50FD-EPBF pinout, IRG4PC50FD-EPBF application, or IRG4PC50FD-EPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) at 70 A, short-circuit withstand time, gate charge (QG), thermal resistance (RthJC), and maximum junction temperature rating.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs Infineon's fourth-generation field-stop trench structure, enabling reduced saturation voltage and improved switching speed trade-off. Its gate threshold voltage (VGE(th)) of 5.0 V ensures robust noise immunity in industrial control environments.
The device integrates an ultrafast co-packaged anti-parallel diode with soft recovery (trr = 180 ns) and low reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 2.9 µC), minimizing voltage overshoot during turn-off commutation in bridge configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50% voltage margin for transients |
| IC @ TC=25°C | 70 A - rated continuous collector current at case temperature ≤25°C |
| PD @ TC=25°C | 200 W - maximum power dissipation with heatsink maintaining TC ≤25°C |
| VCE(sat) @ IC=70A | 2.2 V - low on-state voltage reduces conduction loss in high-current motor phases |
| tsc | 10 µs - guaranteed short-circuit withstand time under VCE=600 V, VGE=15 V, TJ=150°C |
| RthJC | 0.62 K/W - thermal resistance from junction to case enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink |
| QG | 220 nC - total gate charge determines required gate driver peak current and drive loss |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247AD (3-pin, isolated tab). The metal tab is electrically connected to the collector (pin 2), requiring insulated mounting hardware.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | Emitter terminal | Reference node for gate drive and current return path; connects to low-side switch source or shunt resistor |
| Pin 2 (Collector) | Collector terminal | High-voltage power input node; tab is bonded to this pin and must be electrically isolated from heatsink |
| Pin 3 (Gate) | Control input | Receives voltage-controlled signal to modulate IGBT conduction; requires low-impedance gate driver |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Field-stop trench IGBT structure | Enables simultaneous reduction of VCE(sat) and Eoff, improving efficiency in 16–20 kHz motor drive switching |
| Positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient | Ensures stable parallel operation without external current-sharing resistors |
| Integrated ultrafast soft-recovery diode | Eliminates need for external freewheeling diode; trr = 180 ns limits voltage spike during inductive turn-off |
| 10 µs short-circuit rating | Supports fault detection window for overcurrent protection circuits in industrial inverters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN75N60B3 | Higher VCE(sat) (2.4 V @ 75 A), lower QG (170 nC), no co-packaged diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; better suited for resonant topologies where diode specs are independently optimized | Select when gate drive power budget is constrained and discrete diode integration is acceptable |
| STMicroelectronics STGP7NC60HD | Lower IC rating (45 A), higher RthJC (0.85 K/W), same 600 V rating | Limited to ≤15 kW motor drives due to thermal derating; not recommended for 70 A continuous operation | Choose only for cost-sensitive, lower-power replacements where full 70 A capability is unused |
Compared with IXGN75N60B3 and STGP7NC60HD, IRG4PC50FD-EPBF delivers superior thermal performance and integrated diode convenience for hard-switched industrial inverters, trading slightly higher QG for robust short-circuit tolerance and simplified layout.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IRG4PC50FD-EPBF?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V. Operation above +20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage, while negative voltage below –10 V may cause unintended turn-on due to Miller effect. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –8 V for turn-off to ensure fast, noise-immune switching.
Does IRG4PC50FD-EPBF require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No, it operates reliably with zero-volt turn-off under typical conditions, but a –5 V to –8 V negative bias improves noise immunity and reduces turn-off delay in noisy industrial environments. The device's VGE(th) of 5.0 V provides sufficient margin against false triggering without mandatory negative gate drive.
Can IRG4PC50FD-EPBF be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes-its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enables stable current sharing across multiple devices without external emitter resistors. Successful paralleling requires matched gate drive loop inductance, symmetrical PCB layout, and identical heatsink mounting pressure to maintain thermal uniformity across all units.
Is the co-packaged diode in IRG4PC50FD-EPBF suitable for high-frequency ZVS operation?
No-the diode is optimized for soft recovery in hard-switched applications (trr = 180 ns, Qrr = 2.9 µC), not zero-voltage switching. For ZVS topologies, its reverse recovery behavior may cause excessive voltage spikes; dedicated SiC Schottky or ultrafast silicon diodes are preferred in resonant converters operating above 50 kHz.
