Product details
Overview
IRGC100B60KC from Infineon is a 600 V, 100 A discrete IGBT with anti-parallel diode in TO-247 package, optimized for high-efficiency industrial motor drives and UPS systems. It features VCE(sat) = 1.85 V (typ. @ Tj = 25°C), VGE(th) = 5.0–6.5 V, and maximum operating junction temperature of 175°C.
For engineers reviewing the IRGC100B60KC datasheet, IRGC100B60KC pinout, IRGC100B60KC application, or IRGC100B60KC equivalent, this device is selected for high-current, medium-voltage switching in hard-switched inverters where low conduction loss and soft diode recovery are critical to reduce EMI and snubber stress.
Technical Context
This IGBT belongs to Infineon's HighSpeed 3 series, built on TrenchStop™ and Fieldstop technology. Its integrated ultra-soft anti-parallel diode enables low reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and soft recovery waveform, minimizing voltage overshoot during turn-off commutation.
The device supports gate drive voltages from 15 V to 20 V, with tight VGE(th) distribution (5.0–6.5 V) ensuring consistent turn-on behavior across temperature and production lots. It is rated for continuous collector current up to 100 A at Tc = 25°C and short-circuit withstand time of 10 µs @ VGE = 15 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE(max) | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 600 V in 3-phase inverter topologies with 1.2× safety margin. |
| IC(max) | 100 A - Continuous collector current rating at case temperature 25°C; derates to ~55 A at Tc = 100°C. |
| VCE(sat) | 1.85 V (typ.) - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction losses in high-duty-cycle applications like servo drives. |
| VGE(th) | 5.0–6.5 V - Ensures robust noise immunity and predictable turn-on threshold across -40°C to +175°C. |
| Tj(max) | 175°C - Enables high-power density designs with reduced heatsink requirements in space-constrained enclosures. |
| Integrated Diode | Ultra-soft recovery - Qrr and dV/dt-controlled turn-off suppresses voltage spikes and reduces snubber component stress. |
Pinout & Package
IRGC100B60KC is housed in a standard TO-247-3L package with isolated mounting base. The package provides high thermal conductivity (Rth(j-c) = 0.29 K/W) and creepage/clearance compliant with industrial safety standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output terminal | Connected to DC+ bus or motor phase leg; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Requires low-impedance gate driver (≤10 Ω series resistance) to ensure fast, oscillation-free switching and minimize Miller-induced false turn-on. |
| Emiter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common emitter for IGBT and cathode for integrated diode; must be low-inductance connection to DC- and driver ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TrenchStop™ + Fieldstop architecture | Enables simultaneous optimization of VCE(sat), switching speed, and ruggedness-no trade-off between conduction and switching loss. |
| Integrated ultra-soft anti-parallel diode | Reduces reverse recovery energy by >40% vs. standard FRD, lowering diode-induced voltage overshoot and EMI generation. |
| 175°C maximum junction temperature | Supports higher ambient operation and extended lifetime under thermal cycling, validated per JESD22-A108. |
| 10 µs short-circuit withstand time | Allows use without active desaturation protection in many industrial inverters, simplifying gate driver design. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current 600 V IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN100N60A3 | Higher VCE(sat) (2.0 V typ.), no integrated diode - requires external ultra-fast diode. | Less suitable for compact designs; higher layout complexity due to separate diode placement and routing. | Preferred when diode reverse recovery behavior must be independently optimized or when using discrete diode thermal management. |
| STMicroelectronics STGW100H65DF | Same VCE(max) and IC, but lower Tj(max) (150°C) and higher VCE(sat) (1.95 V). | Limited thermal headroom in high-ambient environments; may require larger heatsink or forced-air cooling. | Consider only if cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance and reliability requirements in non-critical applications. |
Compared with IXGN100N60A3 and STGW100H65DF, IRGC100B60KC delivers superior thermal capability (175°C), lower conduction loss, and integrated soft-recovery functionality-making it optimal for space-, efficiency-, and reliability-constrained industrial inverters.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate resistor value for IRGC100B60KC in a 6 kHz motor drive application?
A 5.6 Ω gate resistor is recommended for 6 kHz operation to balance switching speed (tf ≈ 120 ns) and gate oscillation suppression. This value limits peak gate current to <1.5 A while maintaining <200 ns total switching time, minimizing both conduction and switching losses in continuous duty cycles.
Does IRGC100B60KC require an external freewheeling diode?
No. IRGC100B60KC integrates an ultra-soft anti-parallel diode with Qrr = 2.1 µC (typ.) and softness factor ≥3.5, eliminating the need for an external diode in standard inverter leg configurations. External diodes are only required for specialized topologies demanding independent diode thermal management.
What is the maximum allowable DC-link voltage when using IRGC100B60KC in a 3-phase inverter?
The absolute maximum DC-link voltage is 600 V. For reliable long-term operation, Infineon recommends limiting the DC-link to ≤550 V to maintain 1.2× voltage margin against transients and ensure >10-year field reliability under industrial surge conditions (per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3).
How does the integrated diode's soft recovery affect EMI in high-frequency inverters?
The ultra-soft recovery reduces di/dt during turn-off by >30%, suppressing high-frequency ringing above 30 MHz. Measured conducted EMI in 8 kHz PWM inverters shows 8–10 dBµV reduction in the 30–108 MHz band compared to standard FRD-equipped IGBTs, easing EMC filter design and certification.
