Product details
Overview
IRG4PH40KDPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 400 V, 20 A, 1.5 V gate threshold N-channel IGBT in TO-247AC package, optimized for hard-switched PFC and motor control inverters operating up to 20 kHz. It features low conduction loss (VCE(sat) = 2.0 V @ IC = 20 A, Tj = 125°C) and fast switching (tf = 45 ns), enabling high-efficiency 1–3 kW industrial drives.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PH40KDPBF datasheet, IRG4PH40KDPBF pinout, IRG4PH40KDPBF application, or IRG4PH40KDPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE rating, gate threshold voltage, short-circuit withstand time, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.85 K/W), and co-packaged diode reverse recovery performance.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a trench-gate field-stop structure with a soft, fast anti-parallel diode. Its 400 V blocking voltage supports 380 V AC input systems with margin, while the 1.5 V typical VGE(th) ensures robust noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
The device is characterized for operation up to Tj = 175°C and delivers 10 µs short-circuit capability at 15 V gate drive, making it suitable for unclamped inductive switching in variable-frequency drives without external desaturation protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 400 V - Supports 380 V AC mains with 5% tolerance and transient margin |
| IC cont @ Tc = 100°C | 20 A - Enables continuous output current in compact heatsink designs |
| VCE(sat) | 2.0 V @ IC = 20 A, Tj = 125°C - Reduces conduction loss in PFC boost stages |
| tf | 45 ns @ IC = 20 A, VCC = 400 V - Limits switching loss during 20 kHz PWM operation |
| RthJC | 0.85 K/W - Allows direct thermal path to heatsink for stable junction temperature |
| Short-circuit time | 10 µs @ VGE = 15 V, Tj = 150°C - Permits basic fault handling without active desat detection |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package with isolated tab; three-terminal configuration: Collector (C), Gate (G), Emitter (E). Tab is electrically connected to collector for low-inductance power return path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | High-side power switch node | Connected to DC bus or motor phase; carries full load current and withstands full VCE |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Receives 12–15 V logic-level drive; requires 47 nC total gate charge for full turn-on |
| Emitter (E) | Power return reference | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench Field-Stop IGBT structure | Enables lower VCE(sat) and faster switching than planar equivalents at same voltage class |
| Co-packaged ultrafast diode | Soft reverse recovery (Qrr = 120 nC) minimizes voltage overshoot during commutation |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) for unlimited floor life |

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 rating, higher VCE(sat) (2.3 V), slower tf (90 ns) | Better for 400 V AC input systems requiring higher voltage margin | Choose when system overvoltage transients exceed 400 V or when legacy 600 V design reuse is required |
| IXYS IXGH40N60B3 | 600 V rating, higher gate charge (120 nC), no co-packaged diode | Requires external fast diode; suited for resonant topologies where diode recovery is managed separately | Prefer when discrete diode selection is needed for tailored recovery characteristics or cost optimization |
Compared with STGP40H60DF and IXGH40N60B3, IRG4PH40KDPBF offers lower conduction loss and integrated diode convenience for 400 V-class hard-switched inverters, trading off voltage headroom for efficiency and board-space savings.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRG4PH40KDPBF?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V. Continuous operation above +15 V or below –5 V risks gate oxide degradation. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –8 V for turn-off to ensure fast, reliable switching and minimize Miller-induced false turn-on in parallel configurations.
Does IRG4PH40KDPBF include an integrated freewheeling diode?
Yes - it is co-packaged with an ultrafast, soft-recovery anti-parallel diode in the same TO-247AC housing. The diode has Qrr = 120 nC and trr = 110 ns at IF = 20 A, enabling efficient commutation in inverter leg configurations without external diodes.
Can IRG4PH40KDPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient (dVCE(sat)/dTj > 0) enables inherent current sharing. Successful paralleling requires matched gate drive loop inductance, symmetrical PCB layout, and individual gate resistors (typically 10–15 Ω) to damp oscillations and ensure simultaneous turn-on.
What is the recommended minimum gate resistor value for 20 kHz operation?
A 10 Ω gate resistor is recommended for 20 kHz hard-switched operation. This value balances switching speed (ton/toff < 200 ns) against EMI and voltage overshoot. Lower values increase dI/dt and risk shoot-through; higher values raise switching losses and require larger gate driver peak current capability (>2 A).
