Product details
Overview
IRGP4640-EPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 40 A (TC = 100°C), n-channel IGBT in TO-247AD package with 5 µs short-circuit SOA, 175°C max junction temperature, and typ. VCE(on) = 1.60 V at 24 A/15 V. It delivers rugged hard-switching performance for high-power industrial inverters and UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the IRGP4640-EPBF datasheet, IRGP4640-EPBF pinout, IRGP4640-EPBF application, or IRGP4640-EPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its square RBSOA, positive VCE(on) temperature coefficient for parallel operation, and verified 5 µs short-circuit withstand capability under 400 V bus conditions.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a field-stop trench-gate structure optimized for low conduction and switching losses in medium-frequency (1–20 kHz) hard-switched applications. Its 0.60 °C/W RθJC enables high power density when mounted on actively cooled heatsinks.
The device features full-square RBSOA up to 600 V and 5 µs SCSOA at VCC = 400 V, supporting robust protection schemes without external desaturation detection delay compensation. Gate charge parameters (Qg = 50–75 nC, Qgc = 20–30 nC) are calibrated for 10 Ω gate drive impedance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; supports 400 V DC bus with 50% safety margin |
| IC @ TC = 100°C | 40 A - Continuous current rating at real-world heatsink temperature, not derated ambient |
| tSC | ≥5 µs - Verified short-circuit withstand time under VCC = 400 V, enabling deterministic DESAT protection |
| VCE(on) typ. | 1.60 V @ 24 A/15 V - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss by ~12% vs. legacy 600 V IGBTs |
| RθJC | 0.60 °C/W - Enables 125 W dissipation at 100°C case temperature; defines minimum heatsink thermal mass |
| Qg | 50–75 nC - Total gate charge determines gate driver peak current requirement (≥7.5 A for 10 ns rise) |
| SCSOA | 5 µs @ VCC = 400 V - Validated safe operating area under clamped inductive fault, no second breakdown |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AD package with isolated tab (collector-connected), 3-terminal configuration. Mounting torque: 10 lbf·in (1.1 N·m); soldering temperature: 300°C for 10 sec at 1.6 mm from case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output terminal | Connected to heatsink tab; carries full load current and must be electrically isolated from chassis ground unless system design specifies collector-referenced topology |
| Emitter (E) | Power return path and reference node | Serves as common source for gate drive return and current sense; low-inductance layout critical for noise immunity |
| Gate (G) | Control input for MOS-controlled bipolar conduction | High-impedance input requiring <±30 V transient rating; gate resistor value directly sets switching speed and Eon/Eoff trade-off |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low VCE(on) and switching losses | 1.60 V typ. saturation + 0.7–0.9 mJ total switching loss at 24 A/400 V enables >98% efficiency in 10 kHz inverter stages |
| Square RBSOA | Full rectangular safe operating area up to 600 V and 96 A pulse ensures reliable turn-off under overvoltage transients without snapback |
| Positive VCE(on) tempco | +mV/°C coefficient enables natural current sharing in paralleled IGBTs without external emitter resistors |
| 5 µs short-circuit SOA | Guaranteed withstand time under VCC = 400 V allows fixed-time DESAT blanking without dynamic adjustment |
| 175°C max junction temperature | Enables higher power density and extended lifetime at elevated ambient temperatures common in enclosed UPS cabinets |
Applications
| Industrial Inverters | Uninterruptible Power Supplies |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN40N60B3 | Higher VCE(on) (1.85 V typ.), lower Qg (42 nC), same 600 V/40 A rating | Better suited for higher-frequency (20–50 kHz) resonant topologies due to faster switching | Select when minimizing Eoff dominates over conduction loss; verify gate drive strength for lower Qg |
| STMicroelectronics STGW40H65DFB | Lower tSC (3 µs), higher RθJC (0.75 °C/W), integrated anti-parallel diode | Requires tighter DESAT timing; less thermal headroom at 100°C case | Prefer where diode integration reduces board space; avoid in high-ambient or high-duty-cycle UPS designs |
Compared with IXGN40N60B3 and STGW40H65DFB, IRGP4640-EPBF offers superior short-circuit ruggedness and thermal margin for hard-switched industrial applications, while trading off some high-frequency switching efficiency and monolithic integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRGP4640-EPBF?
The absolute maximum continuous gate-to-emitter voltage is ±20 V, with transient rating up to ±30 V for ≤100 ns pulses. Exceeding ±20 V continuously risks gate oxide degradation; gate drive circuits must clamp transients using Zener diodes or active clamps rated for ≥30 V peak.
Can IRGP4640-EPBF be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes-its positive VCE(on) temperature coefficient ensures inherent current sharing across paralleled devices without external emitter resistors. Layout symmetry, matched gate drive impedance, and identical heatsink mounting are required to maintain balance within ±10% current distribution.
What thermal interface material is recommended for TO-247AD mounting?
A thermally conductive, electrically insulating grease (e.g., Dow Corning TC-5121 or Parker Chomerics GEL-25) with 0.2–0.3 W/m·K bulk conductivity and ≤0.1 mm bond line thickness is recommended. Avoid silicone-free pastes if long-term outgassing in sealed enclosures is a concern.
Does IRGP4640-EPBF include an integrated freewheeling diode?
No-IRGP4640-EPBF is a discrete IGBT without an integrated body diode. An external ultrafast soft-recovery diode (e.g., IDP40E60, 600 V/40 A) must be used in antiparallel configuration for inductive load commutation and regenerative energy handling.
