Product details
Overview
IRG6IC30UPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600V, 25A, 37W insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) in TO-220ABFP package, designed for hard-switched motor drive and SMPS applications with peak collector current of 50A and gate threshold voltage of 5.5V. It features low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = 2.2V @ IC = 25A), fast switching (tf = 120ns), and integrated anti-parallel FRD.
For engineers reviewing the IRG6IC30UPBF datasheet, IRG6IC30UPBF pinout, IRG6IC30UPBF application, or IRG6IC30UPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE rating, IC continuous current, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.85°C/W), short-circuit withstand time (10µs), and gate charge (QG = 95nC).
Technical Context
This IGBT employs trench-gate field-stop technology to achieve low conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its design integrates a fast-recovery diode with soft recovery characteristics (trr = 240ns, Qrr = 1.2µC) and reverse recovery softness factor (S = 1.2), minimizing voltage overshoot during turn-off.
The device supports gate drive voltages from 15V to 20V, with maximum gate-emitter voltage rating of ±20V. Its short-circuit ruggedness is validated at 10µs under 15V VGE, 600V VCE, and Tj = 150°C conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 600V - supports 400V DC bus designs with 50% voltage margin for transients |
| IC cont @ TC=25°C | 25A - enables continuous operation in 1–2kW motor inverters without forced cooling |
| VCE(sat) | 2.2V @ IC=25A, VGE=15V - reduces conduction loss to ~55W at full load |
| tf | 120ns @ IC=25A, RG=22Ω - allows 20kHz switching in induction heating systems |
| RthJC | 0.85°C/W - requires ≤45°C heatsink for safe 37W dissipation at 100°C junction |
| QG | 95nC - determines gate driver peak current requirement (~2A for 50ns rise time) |
Pinout & Package
TO-220ABFP is a 3-pin through-hole package with full-pack insulation (creepage ≥4mm), isolated tab, and bent leads for PCB mounting. Thermal pad is electrically connected to emitter terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output terminal | Connected to high-side DC bus; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Requires low-impedance gate driver (≤22Ω series resistor) to manage 95nC charge and prevent oscillation |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Shared return path for IGBT and integrated FRD; critical for stable gate referencing and noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench-stop IGBT die | Enables simultaneous optimization of VCE(sat) and Eoff, reducing total loss by 18% vs planar IGBTs at 10kHz |
| Integrated FRD | Co-packaged fast-recovery diode with trr = 240ns and soft recovery (S = 1.2), eliminating discrete diode layout complexity |
| Short-circuit rated | Withstands 10µs at 600V/25A with 15V gate drive - enables robust protection in overload conditions without desat detection |
| Isolated package | TO-220ABFP's insulated tab eliminates need for insulating washers in heatsink mounting, reducing thermal resistance by 0.2°C/W |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGW25H60DF | Higher VCE(sat) (2.4V), lower QG (75nC), same 600V/25A rating | Optimized for higher-frequency PFC (≥150kHz); less suitable for 20kHz+ induction heating due to slower tf | Prefer when gate drive capability is limited and switching frequency exceeds 100kHz |
| IXYS IXGN25N60B3 | Higher short-circuit time (15µs), no integrated diode, TO-247 package | Requires external ultra-fast diode; better thermal performance but larger footprint | Choose when system-level reliability demands extended short-circuit tolerance and discrete diode optimization |
Compared with STGW25H60DF and IXGN25N60B3, IRG6IC30UPBF uniquely combines integrated FRD, 10µs short-circuit rating, and TO-220ABFP insulation in a cost-effective motor drive package-ideal where board space, EMI control, and simplified layout are prioritized over extreme frequency or thermal headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRG6IC30UPBF?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20V. Operation above +20V risks permanent gate oxide damage, while negative voltage beyond –20V may cause latch-up. Recommended gate drive is +15V for turn-on and –5V to –10V for turn-off to ensure robust noise immunity and fast fall time.
Does IRG6IC30UPBF require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No, it operates reliably with 0V turn-off, but –5V to –10V is recommended to suppress Miller-induced false turn-on in high-dI/dt environments. The device's VGE(th) of 5.5V ensures sufficient noise margin with 0V gate bias, though negative bias improves robustness in multi-IGBT bridge configurations.
Can IRG6IC30UPBF replace older IRG4PC30UD in existing designs?
Yes, it is a direct drop-in replacement: identical TO-220ABFP package, pinout, and voltage/current ratings. Key improvements include 15% lower VCE(sat), 20% faster tf, and integrated FRD-no layout changes needed, but gate resistor may be reduced by 10–15% to optimize switching speed.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for IRG6IC30UPBF?
RthJC is 0.85°C/W, measured from junction to the center of the insulated tab surface. This value assumes proper mounting with thermal grease and flat heatsink contact. With a 45°C heatsink, the device sustains 37W dissipation at Tj = 125°C ambient derating.
