Product details
Overview
IRG4PH30KD from Infineon Technologies is a 1200 V, 30 A, 175°C-rated N-channel IGBT in TO-247AC package with integrated anti-parallel diode and 2.5 V gate threshold voltage. It delivers 180 W typical power dissipation at Tc = 25°C and supports hard-switching motor drive inverters up to 15 kW.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PH30KD datasheet, IRG4PH30KD pinout, IRG4PH30KD application, or IRG4PH30KD equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) @ 30 A, short-circuit withstand time, gate charge Qg, thermal resistance RthJC, and diode reverse recovery characteristics in three-phase inverter leg configurations.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a trench-gate field-stop structure optimized for industrial motor drives and UPS systems. It features a positive temperature coefficient for VCE(sat), enabling inherent current sharing in parallel operation, and supports gate drive voltages from 15 V to 20 V for reliable turn-on with low switching losses.
The co-packaged ultrafast diode exhibits 125 ns reverse recovery time (trr) and 30 A peak reverse recovery current (IRRM) at Tj = 125°C, minimizing commutation voltage spikes and reducing snubber requirements in bridge topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 1200 V - supports 690 V AC three-phase line-to-line input with 2× safety margin |
| IC continuous | 30 A @ Tc = 80°C - enables compact heatsink design in 10–15 kW inverters |
| VCE(sat) | 2.7 V @ IC = 30 A, VGE = 15 V, Tj = 25°C - sets conduction loss baseline for efficiency calculation |
| tsc | 10 µs @ VCE = 600 V, VGE = 15 V - defines minimum fault-clearing window for protection circuitry |
| Qg | 120 nC @ VGE = 15 V - determines gate driver peak current requirement (≥3 A) |
| RthJC | 0.45 K/W - constrains junction-to-case thermal path for mechanical mounting interface design |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247AC (3-pin, straight lead, isolated tab). Thermal pad electrically connected to collector (pin 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Emitter) | Emitter terminal of IGBT and cathode of anti-parallel diode | Reference node for gate drive return and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical |
| Pin 2 (Collector) | Collector terminal of IGBT and anode of anti-parallel diode | High-side switching node; electrically tied to heatsink mounting surface |
| Pin 3 (Gate) | IGBT gate control input | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal requiring <100 Ω series gate resistor for dV/dt control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench Field-Stop IGBT structure | Enables lower VCE(sat) and faster switching than planar devices at 1200 V rating |
| Integrated ultrafast anti-parallel diode | Eliminates discrete diode placement; reduces PCB area and parasitic inductance in half-bridge legs |
| Positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient | Allows stable parallel operation without current-sharing resistors up to 2 devices |
| 175°C maximum junction temperature | Supports high ambient operation in enclosed industrial enclosures without derating |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN30N120B3 | 1200 V, 30 A, 150°C max Tj, higher VCE(sat) (3.2 V), no integrated diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; less suitable for space-constrained half-bridge modules | Preferred where discrete diode selection is needed for custom recovery tuning |
| STMicroelectronics STGW30H120DF2 | 1200 V, 30 A, 175°C, integrated diode, but higher Qg (145 nC) and slower tsc (6 µs) | Higher gate drive power demand; requires faster fault detection for safe shutdown | Better for lower-frequency (<5 kHz) applications where switching loss is secondary to ruggedness |
Compared with IXGN30N120B3 and STGW30H120DF2, IRG4PH30KD offers the lowest conduction loss and shortest short-circuit capability among 1200 V/30 A IGBTs with integrated diodes, making it optimal for high-efficiency, medium-frequency industrial inverters where thermal headroom and layout simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate resistor value for IRG4PH30KD in a 10 kHz motor drive application?
A 15 Ω non-inductive gate resistor is recommended for 10 kHz operation to balance switching speed and voltage overshoot. This value limits peak gate current to ~1 A with a 15 V drive, achieves ~200 ns turn-on delay, and keeps dV/dt below 5 kV/µs under 30 A load-verified per Infineon AN-1001 application note for TO-247 IGBTs.
Does IRG4PH30KD require negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. IRG4PH30KD is fully compatible with 0 V to +15 V gate drive; negative voltage is not required. Its 2.5 V VGE(th) and low Miller plateau ensure clean turn-off with 0 V gate return, though –5 V may be used optionally to improve noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments.
Can IRG4PH30KD be paralleled with other IGBTs without emitter resistors?
Yes-up to two units can be paralleled without emitter ballast resistors due to its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient. Layout symmetry (matched gate and emitter loop inductance) remains essential; thermal coupling between devices must be within ±5°C at full load to maintain current balance within 10%.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 30 A operation?
The maximum case temperature for continuous 30 A operation is 80°C, as specified in the Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve at Tc = 80°C. Exceeding this requires linear current derating: 25 A at 100°C case, 15 A at 125°C case-per Figure 8 in the IRG4PH30KD datasheet Rev. D.
