Product details
Overview
IRG4PC50FDPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 70 A (TC = 25°C) insulated gate bipolar transistor co-packaged with an ultrafast soft-recovery HEXFRED diode in TO-247AC package. It delivers 1.45 V typical VCE(on) at 39 A/15 VGE, 190 nC total gate charge, and 50–75 ns diode reverse recovery time (trr) - optimized for hard-switched motor drives and resonant SMPS operating at 1–5 kHz and >20 kHz respectively.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC50FDPBF datasheet, IRG4PC50FDPBF pinout, IRG4PC50FDPBF application, or IRG4PC50FDPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its co-packaged diode's low Qrr (112–375 nC), tight parameter distribution (Gen 4 IGBT), junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.64 °C/W (IGBT) and 0.83 °C/W (diode), and SOA compliance up to 280 A pulsed current.
Technical Context
This Gen 4 IGBT uses a trench-gate field-stop structure enabling lower conduction loss and tighter VCE(on) distribution versus Gen 3. Its co-packaged HEXFRED diode features ultra-soft reverse recovery (dIrec/dt ≤ 250 A/µs at 125°C) and minimized tail current, reducing snubber requirements in bridge topologies.
The device operates with ±20 V gate voltage rating and exhibits negative temperature coefficient for VGE(th) (−14 mV/°C), supporting inherent current sharing in parallel configurations. Switching losses are gate-resistance dependent: Ets = 3.9–5.0 mJ (25°C) and 6.5 mJ (150°C) at RG = 5.0 Ω, VCC = 480 V, IC = 39 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 480 V in 3-phase rectified systems with margin. |
| IC (TC = 25°C) | 70 A - Supports continuous output current in 5–10 kW industrial inverters with forced-air cooling. |
| VCE(on) typ. | 1.45 V @ 39 A, 15 VGE, 25°C - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss per device at rated current, reducing heatsink size. |
| trr (diode) | 50–75 ns @ 25°C, 25 A - Limits voltage overshoot during commutation, allowing reduced snubber capacitance. |

| Eoff | 2.4 mJ @ 25°C - Dominates turn-off loss budget; scales to 3.9 mJ total switching loss with diode recovery included. |
| Qg | 190 nC typ. - Requires ≥2 A peak gate driver capability for <100 ns turn-on delay with 5 Ω gate resistor. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in industry-standard TO-247AC package with isolated mounting tab. Case material is electrically isolated ceramic-filled epoxy; tab is connected to emitter terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main high-side current path input | Electrically connected to metal tab; requires insulating washer when mounted to heatsink. |
| Gate | Control electrode for IGBT channel | High-impedance MOS-controlled input; sensitive to ESD; requires gate resistor (5 Ω typical) for controlled dv/dt. |
| Emitter | Common reference for IGBT and diode | Low-inductance return path (LE = 13 nH); must be routed with minimal loop area to suppress voltage spikes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Co-packaged HEXFRED diode | Ultra-soft recovery (Irr ≤ 10 A, trr ≤ 75 ns) eliminates need for external snubbers in H-bridge motor control. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT + anti-parallel diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN75N60B3 | Higher VCE(on) (1.7 V typ.), lower Qg (130 nC), same 600 V/75 A rating | Better suited for high-frequency ZVS where gate drive loss dominates; less optimal for hard-switched motor drives | Select when prioritizing gate drive efficiency over conduction loss in resonant topologies |
| STMicroelectronics STGW75H65DFB | 650 V rating, higher RθJC (0.75 °C/W), slower trr (100 ns) | Designed for higher DC bus margins (e.g., 540 V solar), but requires larger heatsink and snubber network | Choose for designs needing extended voltage headroom at cost of thermal and EMI performance |
Compared with IXGN75N60B3 and STGW75H65DFB, IRG4PC50FDPBF offers the lowest combined conduction + recovery loss in hard-switched 4–6 kHz motor drives, while maintaining Gen 3 drop-in compatibility and superior softness for EMI-sensitive environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate drive voltage for IRG4PC50FDPBF?
The absolute maximum gate-to-emitter voltage is ±20 V. Operation above +15 V or below −10 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and −5 V to −10 V for active Miller clamping during turn-off to prevent spurious conduction.
Does IRG4PC50FDPBF require external gate resistors?
Yes - a 5.0 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for standardized switching loss measurements. This value balances dv/dt control (≤10 V/ns) and switching speed; lower values increase EMI risk, higher values raise switching losses disproportionately.
Can IRG4PC50FDPBF be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes - its negative VCE(on) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution (Gen 4) enable stable current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, identical PCB layout, and thermal coupling via shared heatsink to maintain ΔTJ < 5°C between devices.
What is the short-circuit withstand time for IRG4PC50FDPBF?
Under VCE = 480 V, VGE = 15 V, and TJ = 150°C, the device supports ≥10 µs short-circuit capability before destructive failure. This enables implementation of fast desaturation detection circuits with 2–5 µs response time for reliable protection.
