Product details

Overview

IRGPS46160DPBF from Infineon is a 600 V, 160 A (T_C = 100°C) insulated gate bipolar transistor with integrated ultrafast soft-recovery anti-parallel diode in Super-247 package. It delivers V_CE(on) = 1.70 V @ 120 A, 5 µs short-circuit SOA, and R_thJC(IGBT) = 0.20 °C/W - enabling high-efficiency, rugged operation in industrial motor drives and UPS inverters.

For engineers reviewing the IRGPS46160DPBF datasheet, IRGPS46160DPBF pinout, IRGPS46160DPBF application, or IRGPS46160DPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its square RBSOA at 175°C junction temperature, positive V_CE(on) temperature coefficient for stable parallel operation, and low E_rec = 500 µJ diode recovery energy under 175°C conditions.

Technical Context

This IGBT uses a trench-gate field-stop structure optimized for hard-switching applications up to 20 kHz. Its integrated diode features soft reverse recovery (t_rr = 130 ns, I_RR = 36 A) and low Q_RR, minimizing voltage overshoot and EMI in inverter leg configurations.

The device supports gate drive voltages from ±20 V, with V_GE(th) = 4.0–6.5 V and dV_GE(th)/dT_J = −17 mV/°C. Its full-square RBSOA (up to 600 V, 480 A) and 5 µs SCSOA are validated at V_GE = +15 V to 0 V with R_G = 4.7 Ω, enabling robust protection in fault conditions.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_CES	600 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 480 V in 3-phase inverters with 20% margin.
I_C @ T_C = 100°C	160 A - Continuous current rating at heatsink interface temperature, defining thermal design envelope.
V_CE(on)	1.70 V typ. @ 120 A - Directly determines conduction loss (P_cond ≈ 204 W) and heatsink sizing.
t_SC	≥5 µs - Enables reliable desaturation detection and gate-drive shutdown before thermal runaway.
R_thJC(IGBT)	0.20 °C/W - Sets minimum thermal resistance between die and heatsink for 375 W dissipation at T_C = 100°C.
E_off	4390 µJ @ T_J = 175°C - Critical for snubberless hard-switching loss budget at elevated temperature.
Q_g	240 nC - Determines gate driver peak current requirement (I_PK ≥ 50 A for 5 ns rise time).

Pinout & Package

IRGPS46160DPBF is housed in the Super-247 (TO-247-3L) package: isolated mounting base, single-plane leadframe, and 25-unit tube packaging. Thermal path is optimized via direct copper baseplate contact.

Use Value: Low V_CE(on) and soft diode reduce system losses by 12% vs. legacy 650 V IGBTs, improving efficiency from 96.1% to 97.3% at full load.

Use Scenario: Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) output stage delivering clean 230 V sine wave under dynamic load steps.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional switching element in H-bridge topology, handling both forward conduction and reverse recovery during zero-crossing transitions.

Use Value: 5 µs SCSOA and square RBSOA allow reliable operation during grid-synchronization faults without derating.

Welding Equipment

Renewable Energy Inverters

Use Scenario: IGBT-based inverter for 300 A DC arc welding with rapid current slew rates (>500 A/ms) and frequent short-circuit events.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary switching device in primary-side DC-DC converter, subjected to repetitive 5–10 ms short circuits during arc ignition.

Use Value: Confirmed 5 µs short-circuit withstand capability enables elimination of crowbar circuits, reducing BOM count and failure points.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
IXYS IXGN160N60B3	600 V, 160 A; V_CE(on) = 1.85 V @ 120 A; t_SC = 10 µs; TO-247-3L package.	Higher V_CE(on) increases conduction loss by ~8.8 W at 120 A; longer SCSOA allows slower protection response.	Select when higher short-circuit margin is prioritized over conduction efficiency.
STMicroelectronics STGW15H60DF	600 V, 15 A (not 160 A); co-packaged diode with t_rr = 150 ns; TO-247-3L.	Rated for only 15 A continuous - not a current-scalable alternative; suitable only for low-power auxiliary stages.	Not recommended as functional replacement; use only in non-current-critical auxiliary functions.

Compared with IXGN160N60B3 and STGW15H60DF, IRGPS46160DPBF offers the lowest conduction loss and optimal balance of short-circuit ruggedness and diode softness for 100–200 kW industrial inverters, while the alternatives trade off either efficiency or scalability.

FAQ

What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRGPS46160DPBF?

The absolute maximum continuous gate-to-emitter voltage is ±20 V, with transient rating up to ±30 V for ≤1 µs pulses. Exceeding ±20 V continuously risks oxide degradation and threshold shift; gate drive circuits must include clamping diodes or Zener regulation to maintain reliability over 10-year field life.

Can IRGPS46160DPBF be paralleled for higher current capacity?

Yes - its positive V_CE(on) temperature coefficient ensures natural current sharing across devices. Parallel operation requires matched gate drive impedance (≤±5% R_G tolerance), symmetrical PCB layout, and individual emitter degeneration resistors (0.01 Ω) to suppress oscillation during turn-on transients.

What thermal interface material is recommended for the Super-247 package?

A phase-change thermal pad (e.g., Laird TPCM 600 series) or silicone-based grease (e.g., Dow Corning TC-5622) with 0.2–0.3 mm bond line thickness is recommended. Achieving R_thCS ≤ 0.24 °C/W requires surface flatness <25 µm and mounting torque of 1.1 N·m on M3 screws to ensure uniform pressure distribution.

Does the integrated diode support synchronous rectification in bidirectional topologies?

No - the diode is optimized for freewheeling and reverse recovery, not active control. Its V_F = 2.4 V at 120 A and lack of gate control prevent use as a synchronous rectifier; external MOSFETs or dedicated SiC Schottky diodes are required for true bidirectional conduction control.
