Product details
Overview
IRGP6690DPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 140 A (TC = 25°C) insulated gate bipolar transistor with integrated ultrafast soft-recovery anti-parallel diode in TO-247AC package. It delivers 1.65 V typical VCE(on) at 75 A/15 VGE/25°C, 5 µs short-circuit SOA, and 175°C maximum junction temperature - engineered for high-power welding inverters and H-bridge motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IRGP6690DPBF datasheet, IRGP6690DPBF pinout, IRGP6690DPBF application, or IRGP6690DPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its square RBSOA at 175°C, clamped inductive load rating of 300 A, and diode reverse recovery energy of 210 µJ at TJ = 175°C - critical for hard-switched full-bridge topologies requiring ruggedness and thermal margin.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a field-stop trench-gate structure optimized for low conduction loss and controlled tail current decay. Its integrated diode features soft recovery with 90 ns trr and 26 A peak reverse recovery current under 400 V, 18 A, 15 VGE, 10 Ω gate drive conditions at 175°C.
The device supports robust parallel operation via positive VCE(on) temperature coefficient (−19 mV/°C threshold shift) and maintains stable switching performance across −40°C to +175°C junction range. Its 0.31 °C/W RθJC (IGBT) and 2.10 °C/W RθJC (diode) enable high-power density thermal design in forced-air or liquid-cooled welder modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands DC bus voltage up to 600 V in industrial welders and UPS systems without breakdown. |
| IC (TC = 100°C) | 90 A - Sustains continuous 90 A collector current at 100°C case temperature, enabling compact heatsink sizing. |
| VCE(on) (75 A, 25°C) | 1.65 V typ. - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss to ~124 W at 75 A, improving system efficiency. |
| Etotal (75 A, 175°C) | 5.9 mJ - Total switching energy per cycle at elevated temperature enables 40 kHz operation in high-frequency inverters. |
| tSC SOA | 5 µs - Guaranteed short-circuit withstand time at VCC = 400 V and TJ = 150°C supports reliable overcurrent protection schemes. |
| RθJC (IGBT) | 0.31 °C/W - Enables direct mounting to heatsinks with minimal thermal interface resistance for high-power density designs. |
| Qg | 140 nC - Gate charge value determines required gate driver peak current (≥14 A for 10 ns rise time), guiding driver selection. |
Pinout & Package
IRGP6690DPBF uses the industry-standard TO-247AC package with three terminals: Collector (C), Gate (G), and Emitter (E). The package features isolated mounting hole, flat metal tab for thermal interface, and lead-free RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main high-side power terminal | Connects to DC bus positive; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout for EMI control. |
| Gate (G) | Control input for IGBT channel | Requires low-impedance gate driver (≤10 Ω series resistance) to achieve specified 85 ns td(on) and minimize Miller-induced turn-on risk. |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common source for both IGBT and anti-parallel diode; must be tied to low-inductance emitter PCB plane to stabilize switching waveforms. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast soft-recovery diode | 90 ns trr and 210 µJ Erec at 175°C reduce voltage overshoot and EMI in hard-switched H-bridges. |
| Square RBSOA at 175°C | Supports 300 A clamped inductive load at VCC = 480 V, enabling robust operation during transient overloads in welders. |
| Positive VCE(on) tempco | Enables stable current sharing in parallel configurations without external current-balancing resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-power IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN60N60C3 | 600 V / 60 A rated; lower current capacity but higher VCE(on) (2.2 V typ.) and slower switching (Eoff = 4.1 mJ @ 75 A). | More suitable for lower-current, cost-sensitive UPS inverters where thermal margin > switching speed. | Select when system current demand ≤ 60 A and gate drive capability is limited to ≤10 A peak. |
| STMicroelectronics STGW40H65DFB | 650 V / 40 A; includes built-in NTC thermistor and faster diode (trr = 65 ns), but lower IC (40 A @ 100°C) and higher RθJC (0.45 °C/W). | Better suited for space-constrained PFC stages or auxiliary converters where sensing integration outweighs power density needs. | Prefer for designs requiring on-module temperature monitoring or where diode recovery speed is prioritized over current rating. |
Compared with IXGN60N60C3 and STGW40H65DFB, IRGP6690DPBF provides the highest continuous current (90 A @ 100°C) and lowest conduction loss in its voltage class, making it optimal for high-power welding and industrial motor drives where thermal headroom and efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRGP6690DPBF?
The absolute maximum continuous gate-to-emitter voltage is ±20 V. Exceeding this rating risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and −5 V to −10 V for turn-off to ensure noise immunity and prevent spurious conduction during high di/dt events.
Does IRGP6690DPBF require an external freewheeling diode?
No - it integrates an ultrafast soft-recovery anti-parallel diode rated for 45 A repetitive peak forward current and 300 A clamped inductive load current. This eliminates need for discrete diodes in standard H-bridge configurations, reducing board area and parasitic inductance.
How does the 5 µs short-circuit SOA translate to practical protection design?
The 5 µs rating applies at VCC = 400 V and TJ = 150°C with gate drive transitioning from +15 V to 0 V. Protection circuits must detect desaturation and disable gate drive within ≤3 µs to maintain safe junction temperature, requiring sub-100 ns propagation delay in comparator-based desat blocks.
Can IRGP6690DPBF be paralleled for higher current capacity?
Yes - its positive VCE(on) temperature coefficient and matched dynamic characteristics enable stable current sharing. Use identical gate drive traces, Kelvin emitter connections, and symmetrical thermal mounting. Derate total current by 15% versus sum of individual ratings to account for layout mismatches.
