Product details
Overview
IRGB6B60KPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 13 A, 90 W trench-stop IGBT in TO-220AB package, designed for hard-switching and resonant-mode power conversion in offline SMPS, PFC stages, and motor drives. It features low saturation voltage (VCE(sat) = 1.8 V @ IC = 13 A, Tj = 25°C), fast switching (tf = 45 ns), and integrated anti-parallel FRD with soft recovery.
For engineers reviewing the IRGB6B60KPBF datasheet, IRGB6B60KPBF pinout, IRGB6B60KPBF application, or IRGB6B60KPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VCE(sat) vs. switching loss trade-off, FRD reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 120 nC), short-circuit withstand time (10 µs), and gate threshold voltage (VGE(th) = 5.5 V).
Technical Context
This IGBT employs Infineon's TrenchStop™ 5 technology with field-stop doping profile to achieve optimized conduction and switching balance. Its gate structure supports 15 V rated gate-emitter voltage (VGE) and exhibits low input capacitance (Cies = 1.2 nF @ VCE = 25 V) for robust drive compatibility.
The integrated fast-recovery diode has soft recovery characteristics (softness factor >1.2), reducing EMI in bridge configurations. Thermal resistance Rth(j-c) is 1.7 K/W, enabling operation up to Tj = 175°C with appropriate heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50% safety margin |
| IC (Tc=25°C) | 13 A - continuous collector current at case temperature 25°C |
| PD (Tc=25°C) | 90 W - maximum power dissipation with adequate heatsink |
| VCE(sat) | 1.8 V @ IC=13 A, Tj=25°C - sets conduction loss baseline in hard-switched inverters |
| tf | 45 ns @ IC=13 A, VCE=400 V - defines turn-off speed and associated switching loss |
| Qrr (FRD) | 120 nC - determines commutation loss and snubber sizing in half-bridge topologies |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.7 K/W - enables thermal design with standard TO-220 heatsinks |
Pinout & Package
IRGB6B60KPBF uses the industry-standard TO-220AB package with insulated tab, 3-pin through-hole mounting, and creepage/clearance compliant with UL 94 V-0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side current path | Connected to DC bus positive in boost/PFC or inverter leg high side |
| Gate (G) | Control terminal | Requires 15 V ±0.5 V drive; Miller plateau ~8 V; Cies = 1.2 nF |
| Emitter (E) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Shared with FRD cathode; must be low-inductance layout for dI/dt stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchStop™ 5 IGBT die | Enables simultaneous reduction of VCE(sat) and switching losses vs. planar predecessors |
| Integrated soft-recovery FRD | Reduces voltage overshoot and EMI during freewheeling without external snubbers |
| 175°C maximum junction temperature | Supports compact thermal design in space-constrained industrial enclosures |
| UL-certified insulation (IEC/EN 60747-5-2) | Permits direct mounting to heatsink without insulating washer in Class I systems |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Server PSU PFC Stages |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 3-phase inverter stage in 0.75–2.2 kW HVAC compressors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side IGBT switch in 6-step or SVM-controlled inverter leg. Use Value: Low VCE(sat) reduces conduction loss at partial load; soft FRD minimizes shoot-through risk during commutation. | Use Scenario: Boost PFC circuit in 1–2 kW telecom/server PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost converter. Use Value: 10 µs short-circuit rating allows reliable fault handling during AC line surges; Qrr < 150 nC limits boost diode reverse recovery loss. |
| Induction Cooking Systems | UPS Inverter Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Half-bridge resonant inverter driving 20–30 kHz induction coils. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Switching element in ZVS-capable resonant topology with zero-voltage turn-on. Use Value: Fast tf (45 ns) enables precise dead-time control; low Cies improves gate drive efficiency at high frequency. | Use Scenario: 1–3 kVA online UPS output inverter with battery backup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Leg switch in full-bridge inverter converting 48 V DC to 230 V AC sine-wave output. Use Value: Rth(j-c) = 1.7 K/W supports forced-air cooling in sealed chassis; 600 V rating accommodates 48 V battery + surge margin. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGW13NC60KD | VCE(sat) = 1.95 V @ 13 A; Qrr = 145 nC; Rth(j-c) = 1.8 K/W | Higher conduction loss and FRD recovery charge; slightly lower thermal performance | Preferred where ST's standardized gate drive compatibility simplifies existing designs |
| IXGH13N60B3 | VCE(sat) = 2.1 V @ 13 A; no integrated diode; tf = 65 ns | Requires external FRD; slower turn-off increases switching loss in high-frequency PFC | Selected when discrete diode optimization is required or legacy gate driver biasing is fixed |
Compared with STGW13NC60KD and IXGH13N60B3, IRGB6B60KPBF delivers lower conduction loss and integrated soft-recovery diode-reducing component count and EMI filtering burden in space-constrained PFC and motor drive modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRGB6B60KPBF?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage (VGE) is ±20 V, with recommended operating range of –5 V to +15 V. A gate drive voltage of +15 V ensures full enhancement and low VCE(sat), while –5 V provides robust noise immunity and prevents spurious turn-on during high dV/dt conditions in bridge configurations.
Does IRGB6B60KPBF require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No, IRGB6B60KPBF achieves reliable turn-off with 0 V gate drive due to its 5.5 V typical VGE(th) and low Miller capacitance. However, applying –5 V enhances noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments such as three-phase inverter legs, reducing risk of false triggering during cross-conduction events.
Can IRGB6B60KPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but only with careful attention to gate loop inductance matching, emitter degeneration resistors (0.1–0.22 Ω), and symmetrical thermal mounting. The device's positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient (increasing ~1.2 mV/°C) supports current sharing, but layout imbalance remains the dominant limiting factor for parallel operation.
What is the short-circuit withstand time specification for IRGB6B60KPBF?
IRGB6B60KPBF is rated for 10 µs short-circuit withstand time at VCE = 600 V, VGE = 15 V, and Tj = 150°C. This rating assumes clamped VCE during fault and requires fast detection (< 5 µs) and gate drive disable to prevent thermal runaway under sustained overcurrent.
