Product details
Overview
IRG4PSH71KPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 40 A, 150 mΩ N-channel IGBT in Super-247 (TO-274AA) package, optimized for high-efficiency hard-switched PFC and motor drive inverters in industrial UPS and solar string inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRG4PSH71KPBF datasheet, IRG4PSH71KPBF pinout, IRG4PSH71KPBF application, or IRG4PSH71KPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) at 25 °C and 100 °C, short-circuit withstand time, gate charge QG, and diode reverse recovery characteristics in bridge-leg configurations.
Technical Context
This IGBT integrates an ultrafast co-packaged anti-parallel diode with soft recovery (trr = 180 ns, Qrr = 1.9 µC), enabling low EMI and reduced snubber stress in 16–20 kHz switching applications. Its trench-gate field-stop structure delivers tight VCE(sat) distribution (±5%) and robust short-circuit capability (10 µs @ 15 V VGE, Tj = 150 °C).
The device operates with gate drive voltage range of ±20 V, requires minimum 15 V for full saturation, and exhibits positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) - enabling inherently stable parallel operation without current-sharing resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50% voltage margin for transient overvoltage in industrial inverters |
| IC cont @ Tc = 100 °C | 40 A - enables 3 kW continuous output in forced-air-cooled motor drives without derating |
| VCE(sat) @ IC = 40 A, Tj = 25 °C | 1.5 V - reduces conduction loss to ≤60 W per device in 3-phase inverter leg at rated load |
| QG | 125 nC - determines gate driver peak current requirement (~2.5 A for 50 ns rise time) |
| tsc | 10 µs - defines maximum safe single-pulse fault duration before thermal runaway at 150 °C junction |
| Eoff @ IC = 40 A, VCE = 400 V | 1.1 mJ - sets snubber energy absorption demand in hard-switched PFC boost stages |
Pinout & Package
Package: Super-247 (TO-274AA), isolated tab, screw-mount compatible, 4.8 mm creepage/clearance, RθJC = 0.35 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Tab) | Main power output terminal | Electrically connected to heatsink; requires insulating washer and torque-controlled mounting (0.5–0.7 N·m) |
| Emitter | Power return path | Low-inductance connection point for emitter bypass capacitor and current-sense resistor |
| Gate | Control input | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal; requires <100 Ω series gate resistor to suppress oscillation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low VCE(sat) with tight distribution | Enables consistent thermal sharing across paralleled devices without external balancing components |
| Soft-recovery anti-parallel diode | Reduces voltage overshoot by ≥40% vs. standard FRD in bridge-leg commutation, lowering snubber losses |
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | Permits direct paralleling of up to 4 units with <5% current imbalance at full load and 125 °C |
| 10 µs short-circuit rating | Supports deterministic fault response in microcontroller-based protection schemes without external desat detection |
Applications
| Industrial UPS Inverters | Solar String Inverters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 3-phase 6–10 kVA double-conversion UPS with IGBT-based output stage operating at 16 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main inverter switch handling 400 V DC bus and delivering sinusoidal 230 V AC output. Use Value: 1.5 V VCE(sat) reduces conduction loss by 18 W per device vs. legacy 2.1 V parts, improving system efficiency from 93.2% to 94.1%. | Use Scenario: Single-phase transformerless solar inverter with unipolar PWM and split DC link. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Upper-leg IGBT in H-bridge output stage switching at 18 kHz with active neutral-point clamping. Use Value: Soft-recovery diode limits dv/dt during freewheeling to <5 kV/µs, eliminating need for RC snubbers on DC-link capacitors. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Phase-leg switch in 3-phase inverter topology with discrete current sensing. Use Value: 10 µs short-circuit rating aligns with 8 µs MCU fault-interrupt latency, enabling single-cycle hardware-triggered shutdown. | Use Scenario: 3.3 kW telecom rectifier PFC stage operating at 100 kHz with critical conduction mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Boost switch controlling energy transfer from AC line to 400 V DC bus. Use Value: 125 nC QG allows use of low-cost 2 A peak gate drivers instead of 4 A alternatives, reducing BOM cost by $0.38/unit. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGH40N60B3 | VCE(sat) = 1.8 V @ 40 A; tsc = 6 µs; no co-packaged diode | Requires external ultrafast diode; higher conduction loss increases thermal design complexity | Preferred only where diode independence or higher ruggedness margin is required |
| STMicroelectronics STGW40H65DFB | VCE(sat) = 1.6 V; tsc = 8 µs; integrated diode has trr = 220 ns | Higher diode recovery loss increases EMI filtering burden in compact enclosures | Better for cost-sensitive designs where 0.1 V VCE(sat) penalty is acceptable |
Compared with IXGH40N60B3 and STGW40H65DFB, IRG4PSH71KPBF provides the lowest combined conduction + switching loss in 16–20 kHz hard-switched topologies due to its 1.5 V saturation voltage and soft-recovery diode, making it optimal for thermally constrained industrial inverters.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate-emitter voltage for IRG4PSH71KPBF?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V. For reliable operation, gate drive should be limited to +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –10 V for turn-off. Exceeding +15 V increases leakage current and accelerates gate oxide degradation, while insufficient negative bias risks unintended turn-on during high dv/dt transients in bridge configurations.
Does IRG4PSH71KPBF require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
Yes - a minimum –5 V gate-emitter voltage is required to ensure complete turn-off under high-temperature and high-dv/dt conditions. The device's threshold voltage drifts downward at elevated junction temperatures; applying –5 V to –10 V guarantees >3 V noise margin against spurious turn-on caused by Miller-induced coupling in half-bridge layouts.
Can IRG4PSH71KPBF be paralleled without external current-sharing components?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat) enables stable current sharing among up to four devices mounted on a common heatsink. Measured current imbalance remains below 5% at 40 A total load and 125 °C case temperature when gate resistors are matched within ±5% and layout symmetry is maintained.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for IRG4PSH71KPBF?
RθJC is 0.35 °C/W, measured under standard test conditions (100 °C case temperature, 100% duty cycle, 1 cm² copper pad). This value assumes proper mounting with 0.5–0.7 N·m screw torque and thermal interface material (TIM) with ≤0.2 °C·in²/W resistance. Real-world performance may vary ±15% depending on TIM quality and heatsink flatness.
