Product details

Overview

IRG4PC60UPBF from Infineon (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 40 A n-channel UltraFast IGBT in TO-247AC package, optimized for hard-switching up to 50 kHz and resonant-mode operation beyond 200 kHz. It features 2.2 Ω gate resistance, 150 ns turn-on delay, 280 ns turn-off delay, 125 °C maximum junction temperature, and is designed for use with IR HexFred companion diodes in high-efficiency SMPS and motor drives.

For engineers reviewing the IRG4PC60UPBF datasheet, IRG4PC60UPBF pinout, IRG4PC60UPBF application, or IRG4PC60UPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking voltage, 40 A DC collector current at T_C = 100 °C, 73 W power dissipation capability, low switching losses (E_on + E_off = 4.2 mJ at V_CC = 480 V, I_C = 40 A), and thermal resistance R_thJC = 0.65 °C/W.

Technical Context

This Generation 4 IGBT employs field-stop trench-gate structure to achieve tight parameter distribution and reduced conduction–switching trade-off. Its ultrafast switching is enabled by minimized tail current and optimized carrier lifetime control, supporting high-frequency ZVS/ZCS topologies.

The device operates with 15 V gate drive (V_GE = 15 V), exhibits 190 nC total gate charge (Q_G), and maintains safe operating area (SOA) compliance up to 80 A at V_CE = 400 V with pulse width ≤ 100 µs - critical for short-circuit robustness in industrial inverters.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CES	600 V - Maximum repetitive collector–emitter blocking voltage; enables use in 400 V AC input rectified bus applications.
I_C (DC)	40 A at T_C = 100 °C - Continuous collector current rating defines thermal design margin for heatsink sizing.
P_D	73 W - Maximum power dissipation at T_C = 25 °C; determines steady-state thermal interface requirements.
R_thJC	0.65 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; used with heatsink R_thCA to calculate max T_J under load.
t_fall	280 ns - Measured at I_C = 40 A, V_CC = 480 V, R_G = 5 Ω; directly impacts minimum dead-time setting in half-bridge designs.
Q_G	190 nC - Total gate charge at V_GE = 15 V; determines gate driver peak current requirement (≥ 3.8 A for 50 ns rise time).
E_sw	4.2 mJ - Sum of turn-on and turn-off energy at V_CC = 480 V, I_C = 40 A, R_G = 5 Ω; primary metric for switching loss calculation.

Pinout & Package

Supplied in industry-standard TO-247AC package with isolated mounting tab (collector-connected tab). Package dimensions comply with JEDEC TO-247 variant AC outline, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Collector (Tab)	Main high-side current path / thermal interface	Electrically connected to collector; requires insulated mounting hardware when referenced to non-collector potential.
Gate	Control terminal for MOS-controlled bipolar conduction	High-impedance input requiring low-inductance gate loop; sensitive to dV/dt-induced false turn-on without proper negative bias or clamping.
Emitter	Current return path / reference node for gate drive	Serves as common reference for gate–emitter voltage; must be routed with minimal inductance to avoid voltage overshoot during switching.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
UltraFast switching	Optimized for 50 kHz hard-switching and >200 kHz resonant-mode operation - reduces magnetic component size and improves system power density.
Generation 4 trench IGBT	Tighter V_CE(sat) distribution (±10%) and lower conduction loss - improves parallel device current sharing and thermal predictability.
Lead-free construction	RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating and die attach - meets industrial environmental compliance without derating or reliability penalty.
Companion diode optimization	Designed for co-packaging or PCB layout pairing with IR HexFred diodes (e.g., IDP40E60) - minimizes reverse recovery stress and commutation loss.

Applications

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)

Use Scenario: Three-phase inverter stage in 5–15 kW variable-frequency drives for pumps and compressors.

IC Role / Device Role: High-side switch in six-pack IGBT module configuration, handling 400 V DC bus and 40 A RMS output current.

IC Role / Device Role: Output bridge switch operating in 16 kHz PWM mode with active clamp and zero-voltage switching assist.

Use Value: 280 ns t_fall and 150 ns t_on enable precise dead-time control (<150 ns), minimizing shoot-through risk while maintaining THD <3%.

Induction Heating Systems

Photovoltaic Inverters

Use Scenario: Half-bridge resonant inverter driving 20–50 kHz tank circuit for domestic cooktops and industrial heating.

IC Role / Device Role: Primary switching element in series-resonant topology, subjected to high di/dt (>500 A/µs) and repetitive avalanche stress.

Use Value: Robust SOA (80 A @ 400 V, 100 µs) and low tail current ensure reliable operation under zero-current switching transitions without snubber networks.

Use Scenario: String-level DC–AC conversion in 3–5 kW grid-tied solar inverters with transformerless topology.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STGP40H60DF	600 V / 40 A, 2.5 Ω gate resistance, higher V_CE(sat) (2.1 V @ 40 A), 220 nC Q_G	Higher gate charge increases driver loss; less suitable for >30 kHz hard-switching	Preferable where gate drive simplicity outweighs switching loss sensitivity
IXYS IXGH40N60B3	600 V / 40 A, 1.8 Ω gate resistance, lower V_CE(sat) (1.7 V), 175 nC Q_G, faster t_fall (220 ns)	Better high-frequency efficiency but narrower SOA at high V_CE	Preferred for resonant converters demanding lowest E_sw, provided layout controls dV/dt stress

Compared with STGP40H60DF and IXGH40N60B3, IRG4PC60UPBF offers balanced trade-offs: lower Q_G than ST's part for reduced driver loss, wider SOA than IXYS's part for short-circuit tolerance, and proven thermal stability in long-life industrial deployments.

Manufacturer

Infineon Technologies AG is a German semiconductor manufacturer specializing in power semiconductors, microcontrollers, and sensor solutions for industrial, automotive, and energy markets.

This IGBT belongs to Infineon's legacy "UltraFast" discrete IGBT portfolio, originally developed by International Rectifier and maintained post-acquisition for industrial power conversion applications demanding high reliability and thermal robustness.

FAQ

What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?

The datasheet specifies R_G = 5 Ω for standard characterization. For hard-switching above 20 kHz, R_G should not exceed 10 Ω to maintain t_fall < 350 ns and prevent excessive E_off. Values below 3 Ω increase dI/dt stress on gate driver and PCB traces without meaningful reduction in t_on.

Does IRG4PC60UPBF support short-circuit withstand capability?

Yes - it is rated for 10 µs short-circuit withstand time at V_CC = 480 V, T_J = 150 °C, and V_GE = 15 V. This requires active desaturation detection and gate voltage clamping within 5 µs to avoid destructive failure; typical protection circuits limit fault duration to ≤8 µs.

Can this IGBT be paralleled with identical units?

Yes - Generation 4 design ensures ±10% V_CE(sat) matching at 125 °C, enabling stable current sharing. Successful paralleling requires matched gate drive loops (≤1 nH inductance difference), symmetrical main current paths, and shared heatsink with uniform thermal resistance (≤0.1 °C/W variation across devices).

Is the TO-247AC package electrically isolated?

No - the metal tab is internally connected to the collector terminal. Electrical isolation must be achieved externally using insulating washers and shoulder screws. Thermal interface material must be non-conductive (e.g., ceramic-filled silicone grease) to prevent unintended collector-to-heatsink shorts.
