Product details
Overview
IRG4PC50UD-EPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 55 A, 200 W trench-gate field-stop IGBT in TO-247-3 package, designed for high-efficiency motor drives and industrial inverters operating at 15–20 kHz switching frequencies. It features low VCE(sat) of 2.0 V (typ. @ Tj = 25°C, IC = 55 A), 1.5 μs turn-off time, and short-circuit withstand time of 10 μs.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC50UD-EPBF datasheet, IRG4PC50UD-EPBF pinout, IRG4PC50UD-EPBF application, or IRG4PC50UD-EPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat), Eoff, short-circuit ruggedness, gate charge Qg = 125 nC, and thermal resistance Rth(j-c) = 0.3 K/W.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs Infineon's third-generation TrenchStop technology with field-stop layer, enabling optimized trade-off between conduction loss and switching loss. Its gate threshold voltage VGE(th) is 5.0 V (min) and 6.5 V (max), ensuring robust noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
The device supports hard-switched operation up to 20 kHz with integrated anti-parallel diode (VF = 2.2 V @ IF = 55 A), and exhibits positive temperature coefficient for VCE(sat), enabling stable parallel operation without current-sharing resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus systems with 50% voltage margin for transient overvoltage |
| IC cont @ Tc = 25°C | 55 A - enables 7.5 kW motor drive output with forced-air cooling |
| PD @ Tc = 25°C | 200 W - defines maximum power dissipation before thermal derating begins |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0 V (typ.) - reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. comparable 2nd-gen IGBTs |
| tsc | 10 μs - allows reliable protection during fault events without desaturation circuitry |
| Eoff | 2.2 mJ (typ. @ VCE = 400 V, IC = 55 A, RG = 22 Ω) - sets minimum dead-time requirement in bridge designs |
Pinout & Package
TO-247-3 plastic package with isolated tab; 3-pin configuration: Pin 1 = Gate (G), Pin 2 = Collector (C), Pin 3 = Emitter (E). Tab is electrically connected to collector and thermally coupled to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Control input | Receives gate drive signal; requires 12–15 V logic-level drive with <125 nC total gate charge |
| Pin 2 (C) | High-side power terminal | Connects to DC bus positive; tab must be mounted to heatsink with electrical isolation if needed |
| Pin 3 (E) | Power return / reference node | Serves as emitter reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchStop 3rd-generation structure | Reduces switching losses while maintaining low VCE(sat) across full temperature range |
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | Enables inherently stable parallel operation without external current-balancing components |
| Integrated fast soft-recovery anti-parallel diode | Eliminates need for discrete freewheeling diode in 3-phase inverter legs |
| 10 μs short-circuit withstand time | Supports robust overcurrent protection using simple fixed-time blanking instead of complex desat detection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGW40H65DFB | 650 V rating, 40 A IC, higher VCE(sat) = 2.35 V, lower Eoff = 1.8 mJ | Better suited for 600 V DC bus with tighter voltage margin; lower current rating limits use in >6 kW drives | Select when prioritizing lower switching loss over conduction loss and system size constraints allow larger heatsink |
| IXYS IXGN50N60A3 | 600 V, 50 A, VCE(sat) = 2.1 V, tsc = 6 μs, no integrated diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; shorter short-circuit capability demands faster protection response | Choose where discrete diode optimization is preferred and protection circuitry already includes desat detection |
Compared with STGW40H65DFB and IXGN50N60A3, IRG4PC50UD-EPBF delivers optimal balance of conduction efficiency, ruggedness, and integration for 5–10 kW industrial inverters-especially where thermal margin, parallel operation, and simplified BOM are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate resistor value for IRG4PC50UD-EPBF in a 16 kHz motor drive?
A 22 Ω non-inductive gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for standard 16 kHz operation with 15 V gate drive. This value balances switching speed (toff ≈ 1.5 μs) and EMI control. Lower values (e.g., 10 Ω) reduce losses but increase dv/dt stress; higher values (e.g., 47 Ω) improve EMI but raise switching losses by ~18%.
Does IRG4PC50UD-EPBF require an external freewheeling diode?
No. The device integrates a soft-recovery anti-parallel diode rated for 55 A continuous forward current and 2.2 V forward voltage. It is fully qualified for use in 3-phase inverter legs without external diodes, provided layout minimizes stray inductance and thermal interface resistance remains ≤ 0.2 K/W.
How does the 10 μs short-circuit withstand time translate to protection design?
The 10 μs rating means the IGBT can survive a direct collector-emitter short at rated voltage and current for up to 10 μs without failure. Protection circuits should trigger within this window-typically using a 5–7 μs blanking time after turn-on followed by desaturation detection or current-sense comparator response <3 μs.
Can IRG4PC50UD-EPBF be paralleled reliably without emitter resistors?
Yes. Its positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) ensures inherent current sharing across temperature gradients. Parallel operation has been validated with up to four devices per leg in 15 kW drives, provided gate drive impedance and PCB trace lengths are matched within ±5% and thermal mounting pressure is uniform.
