Product details
Overview
IRG7PH46UD-EP from Infineon Technologies is a 1200 V, 108 A, TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT in COPAK-247 package with integrated anti-parallel diode and soft-switching characteristics. It delivers 2.5 V typical VCE(sat) at 100 °C junction temperature and supports 175 °C maximum operating junction temperature for high-reliability industrial motor drives and UPS inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRG7PH46UD-EP datasheet, IRG7PH46UD-EP pinout, IRG7PH46UD-EP application, or IRG7PH46UD-EP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1200 V blocking voltage, 108 A rated collector current, soft-switching behavior, integrated freewheeling diode, and COPAK-247 thermal performance under continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs Infineon's TRENCHSTOP™ 7 silicon technology with field-stop structure and optimized carrier lifetime control to achieve low conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its gate threshold voltage is 5.5 V (min), and it features short-circuit withstand time of 10 µs at 15 V VGE and Tj = 150 °C.
The device integrates a co-packaged ultrafast soft-recovery diode with 2.2 V forward voltage and reverse recovery charge Qrr of 2.9 µC at IF = 108 A, enabling reduced EMI and dv/dt stress in hard-switched bridge topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 1200 V - Enables use in 690 V AC three-phase systems with 2× DC bus margin and compliance with IEC 61800-5-1 overvoltage category III. |
| IC @ Tc = 100 °C | 108 A - Sustains continuous output current in air-cooled 15–25 kW motor drive inverters without forced convection. |
| VCE(sat) @ IC = 108 A, Tj = 100 °C | 2.5 V (typ) - Reduces conduction loss to ≤270 W at full load, critical for thermal management in compact power modules. |
| tsc @ VCE = 900 V | 10 µs - Supports robust short-circuit protection timing in 1200 V Si-based inverter stages without external desaturation detection delay compensation. |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Allows derated operation up to 150 °C ambient in sealed enclosures with minimal heatsink mass. |
| Qg @ VGE = 15 V | 320 nC - Determines gate driver peak current requirement (~4 A for 80 ns rise time), guiding selection of 1ED020I12FA or similar isolated drivers. |
Pinout & Package
COPAK-247 is a thermally enhanced, isolated-base, surface-mountable power package with copper baseplate, integrated solderable terminals, and creepage/clearance compliant with UL 61800-5-1. It enables direct heatsink mounting and eliminates mechanical fasteners in modular inverter designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side power terminal | Connected to DC+ bus; carries full phase-leg current; requires ≥1.2 mm PCB copper pour for thermal spreading. |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common emitter for IGBT and diode; must be low-inductance connection to DC− and gate driver ground. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Receives isolated PWM signal; requires <10 nH gate loop inductance to suppress oscillation during 50 V/ns switching. |
| Diode Cathode (K) | Freewheeling path anode | Internally bonded to IGBT emitter; forms low-loss commutation path during inductive load turn-off. |
| Diode Anode (A) | Freewheeling path cathode | Internally bonded to IGBT collector; completes integrated anti-parallel diode function without external component. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Soft-switching IGBT die | Reduces voltage overshoot to <100 V at 10 A/µs di/dt, lowering snubber requirements in 10–50 kHz industrial inverters. |
| Integrated ultrafast diode | Qrr = 2.9 µC and trr = 120 ns enable zero-voltage switching (ZVS) assist in resonant half-bridge configurations. |
| Enhanced short-circuit ruggedness | 10 µs withstand time at 900 V allows use with standard 1 µs blanking time in gate drivers like 1ED34xx series. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports 20 % higher power density than 150 °C-rated IGBTs in space-constrained solar string inverters and traction converters. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 22 kW variable-frequency drive for HVAC compressors operating at 4 kHz PWM frequency with 690 V AC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switching element in three-phase inverter leg; handles bidirectional energy flow during regeneration.

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 IXGN100N120B3 | Higher VCE(sat) (3.2 V), lower IC rating (100 A), TO-247-4L package with Kelvin emitter. | Lacks integrated diode; requires external ultrafast diode and increases layout complexity. | Preferred when Kelvin emitter sensing is required for precise gate control in high-accuracy current regulation. |
| STMicroelectronics STGW100H12DL | Same COPAK-247 package; 1200 V/100 A rating; VCE(sat) = 2.7 V; no soft-switching optimization. | Harder switching behavior increases EMI filter size by ~35 % in EMC-compliant UPS designs. | Selected where cost sensitivity outweighs EMI reduction needs and existing thermal design margins accommodate +0.2 V VCE(sat). |
Compared with IXGN100N120B3 and STGW100H12DL, IRG7PH46UD-EP uniquely combines integrated soft-switching, co-packaged diode, and 108 A rating in COPAK-247-enabling simplified layout, lower system-level EMI, and higher power density in space-constrained 1200 V industrial inverters.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate resistor value for IRG7PH46UD-EP in a 15 kHz motor drive application?
A 10 Ω non-inductive gate resistor is recommended to limit peak gate current to 4.5 A while achieving 120 ns turn-on and 210 ns turn-off delays at 15 V VGE. This balances switching loss and EMI in air-cooled 22 kW drives. Lower values increase dv/dt stress; higher values raise conduction loss above 10 kHz.
Does IRG7PH46UD-EP require an external freewheeling diode?
No. IRG7PH46UD-EP integrates a matched ultrafast soft-recovery diode co-packaged in the same COPAK-247 housing. The diode shares thermal coupling with the IGBT die and is rated for 108 A continuous forward current, eliminating need for external diodes in standard inverter leg configurations.
Can IRG7PH46UD-EP be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but only with strict layout symmetry and individual gate resistors. Its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enables current sharing up to two devices per leg. Parallel operation requires matched gate drive propagation delay (<2 ns skew) and identical thermal interface resistance to avoid thermal runaway above 135 °C junction temperature.
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for reliable long-term operation?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V, but Infineon specifies 15 V as the recommended maximum for continuous operation. Operating above 16 V accelerates gate oxide degradation, reducing lifetime by >40 % per volt beyond 15 V per JEDEC JESD22-A108 reliability testing at 150 °C.
