Product details
Overview
IRG4PC50F-EPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 70 A, 200 W field-stop IGBT in TO-247AD package, designed for high-efficiency hard-switching and resonant-mode power conversion in industrial motor drives and UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC50F-EPBF datasheet, IRG4PC50F-EPBF pinout, IRG4PC50F-EPBF application, or IRG4PC50F-EPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) at 70 A, switching energy EON/EOFF, short-circuit withstand time, gate charge Qg, and thermal resistance RthJC.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs Infineon's fourth-generation field-stop trench structure to achieve low conduction loss and controlled switching behavior. It features a positive temperature coefficient for VCE(sat) and integrated anti-parallel FRD with soft recovery characteristics.
The device supports gate drive voltages from 15 V to 20 V, with rated collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 600 V and maximum junction temperature of 175 °C. Its short-circuit rating is 10 µs at 15 V VGE and TJ = 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE (max) | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 400 V AC input rectified systems with margin. |
| IC (cont, TC=80°C) | 70 A - Sustains continuous output current in forced-air-cooled motor inverter stages. |
| PD (TC=25°C) | 200 W - Defines maximum steady-state power dissipation under ideal heatsink conditions. |
| VCE(sat) @ IC=70A, VGE=15V | 2.2 V - Directly determines conduction loss in inverter leg during on-state operation. |
| EON + EOFF @ IC=70A, VCE=400V | 3.2 mJ - Sets total switching energy per cycle, critical for thermal design at 8–20 kHz. |
| RthJC | 0.65 K/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct mounting to heatsink with known thermal interface resistance. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AD package: 3-pin through-hole outline with isolated tab, creepage/clearance compliant for industrial isolation requirements. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Collector, Pin 3 = Emitter.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives voltage-controlled signal to modulate collector-emitter current; requires <100 nF gate resistor for dV/dt control. |
| Pin 2 (Collector) | High-side power terminal | Connects to DC bus positive; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout. |
| Pin 3 (Emitter) | Low-side reference terminal | Serves as return path and gate drive reference; shared emitter layout affects shoot-through immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Field-stop trench IGBT structure | Reduces tail current and switching losses while maintaining rugged short-circuit capability. |
| Integrated ultrafast soft-recovery FRD | Enables bidirectional current handling in bridge legs without external diode; trr = 190 ns. |
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | Ensures inherent current sharing in parallel configurations without external ballasting resistors. |
| 10 µs short-circuit rating | Supports robust protection schemes in motor drives where fault detection latency exceeds 5 µs. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Inverters | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 3-phase 7.5–15 kW variable-frequency drives for pumps and compressors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in inverter leg; operates at 8–16 kHz PWM frequency. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) and soft FRD reduce system conduction and commutation losses by >12% vs. legacy planar IGBTs. | Use Scenario: Online double-conversion UPS with 10 kVA output and battery backup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter-stage switch enabling zero-voltage switching transitions in phase-shifted full-bridge topology. Use Value: Controlled EOFF and low Qg allow stable 20 kHz operation with minimal gate drive power and snubber stress. |
| Solar String Inverters | Induction Heating Systems |
Use Scenario: 5–8 kW string inverters with transformerless topology and 1000 V DC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DC-link switching element in H-bridge output stage; handles 600 V blocking and 70 A peak current. Use Value: 600 V rating and 175 °C TJ(max) support high-power density designs with reduced heatsink mass. | Use Scenario: 15–25 kW resonant tank inverters for metal melting and forging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge switch operating in zero-current switching (ZCS) mode at 20–50 kHz. Use Value: Soft-recovery FRD minimizes reverse recovery dv/dt stress on complementary IGBT, extending reliability in high-di/dt environments. |
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 IC (75 A), higher VCE(sat) (2.4 V), no integrated FRD. | Requires external ultrafast diode; better suited for discrete half-bridge modules with independent diode optimization. | Select when higher peak current headroom is needed and board space allows separate diode placement. |
| STMicroelectronics STGW75H65DFB | Same 600 V/70 A rating, lower EON (2.1 mJ), but shorter SCWT (6 µs). | Preferred in high-frequency SMPS where switching loss dominates, less suitable for motor drives requiring robust fault tolerance. | Choose for 30–50 kHz resonant converters where short-circuit immunity is secondary to efficiency. |
Compared with IXGN75N60B3 and STGW75H65DFB, IRG4PC50F-EPBF offers balanced trade-off between conduction loss, switching energy, and short-circuit ruggedness-making it optimal for industrial inverters demanding both efficiency and fault resilience.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate resistor value for IRG4PC50F-EPBF in a 15 kHz motor inverter?
A 15 Ω non-inductive gate resistor is recommended to limit peak gate current to 2.5 A while achieving ~150 ns turn-on and ~300 ns turn-off delays. This balances switching loss, EMI, and dV/dt-induced false triggering in 400 V DC bus systems.
Does IRG4PC50F-EPBF require negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. The device achieves clean turn-off with 0 V gate voltage; however, –5 V to –8 V is recommended in noisy industrial environments to improve noise immunity and prevent spurious conduction during high dV/dt transients across the collector-emitter path.
Can IRG4PC50F-EPBF be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes-its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enables stable current sharing. Use matched gate drive paths, symmetrical PCB layout, and identical heatsink mounting pressure. Derate total current by 15% for two devices and 25% for three or more in parallel.
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V. For reliable long-term operation, maintain gate drive within ±15 V. Exceeding +15 V increases leakage and accelerates gate oxide degradation; exceeding –10 V risks irreversible gate threshold shift.
