Product details
Overview
IRG4PH40UDPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 1200 V, 41 A, 65 W TC rated N-channel IGBT in TO-247AC package, featuring short-circuit ruggedness up to 10 µs and positive temperature coefficient for paralleling. It is used in industrial motor drives and UPS inverters requiring high-voltage switching with low conduction loss.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PH40UDPBF datasheet, IRG4PH40UDPBF pinout, IRG4PH40UDPBF application, or IRG4PH40UDPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) at 41 A, gate charge QG, short-circuit withstand time, and thermal resistance RthJC.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs field-stop trench gate technology to achieve low VCE(sat) of 2.7 V at 41 A and 25 °C, with typical turn-on delay td(on) of 35 ns and fall time tf of 120 ns under standard test conditions (VGE = 15 V, VCC = 600 V, RG = 22 Ω).
The device integrates an anti-parallel ultrafast soft-recovery diode with reverse recovery time trr of 280 ns and peak reverse recovery current IRRM of 42 A, enabling efficient freewheeling in bridge-leg configurations without external diode addition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 1200 V - supports DC bus voltages up to 800 V in three-phase rectified systems |
| IC @ TC = 25 °C | 41 A - continuous collector current rating at case temperature ≤25 °C |
| VCE(sat) | 2.7 V @ IC = 41 A, VGE = 15 V - determines conduction loss in hard-switched inverters |
| tsc | 10 µs @ VCE = 600 V, VGE = 15 V - enables robust protection during fault events |
| RthJC | 0.45 K/W - defines junction-to-case thermal resistance for heatsink sizing |
| QG | 125 nC @ VGE = 15 V - impacts gate driver power and switching speed trade-off |

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 IXGN40N120B3 | 1200 V, 40 A, VCE(sat) = 3.2 V @ 40 A, no integrated diode | Requires external fast recovery diode; higher conduction loss but lower gate charge (95 nC) | Preferred where gate drive power budget is constrained and layout allows discrete diode placement |
| STMicroelectronics STGP40H120DF | 1200 V, 40 A, VCE(sat) = 2.8 V @ 40 A, integrated diode with trr = 320 ns | Similar integration level but longer reverse recovery; slightly higher thermal resistance (0.5 K/W) | Valid drop-in alternative where margin exists in thermal design and EMI filtering |
Compared with IXGN40N120B3 and STGP40H120DF, IRG4PH40UDPBF offers the lowest VCE(sat) and shortest trr, making it optimal for efficiency-critical 1200 V inverters where integrated diode functionality and thermal performance are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRG4PH40UDPBF?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –10 V for turn-off to ensure reliable switching and noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
Does IRG4PH40UDPBF require a negative gate voltage for turn-off?
No, zero-volt turn-off is functional, but a negative gate voltage (–5 V to –10 V) is recommended to improve noise immunity and prevent spurious turn-on due to Miller-induced dv/dt coupling in high-di/dt applications such as motor drives and UPS systems.
Can IRG4PH40UDPBF be paralleled with identical units?
Yes - its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient ensures inherent current sharing. Successful paralleling requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and thermal coupling via shared heatsink to minimize dynamic current imbalance during switching transients.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for IRG4PH40UDPBF?
RthJC is 0.45 K/W, measured from the silicon die junction to the metal tab surface. This value assumes proper mounting with thermal interface material and 0.8 N·m screw torque on the TO-247AC mounting hole, per Infineon's mounting guidelines.
