Product details
Overview
IRGPS47160DPBF from Infineon is a 600 V, 40 A single IGBT without integrated anti-parallel diode in TO-247 package, optimized for hard-switched industrial motor drives and UPS inverters operating at 2–20 kHz. It delivers 1.5 V typical VCE(sat) at 25 °C and 40 A, with 0.58 mJ typical Eoff and 1.1 mJ typical Eon, enabling efficient conduction and switching in three-phase bridge topologies.
For engineers reviewing the IRGPS47160DPBF datasheet, IRGPS47160DPBF pinout, IRGPS47160DPBF application, or IRGPS47160DPBF equivalent, this device serves as a high-current, low-saturation-voltage IGBT for medium-frequency industrial power conversion where discrete diode selection and thermal decoupling are required.
Technical Context
This IGBT belongs to Infineon's TRENCHSTOP™ generation, featuring trench-gate field-stop structure for balanced conduction and switching losses. Its gate threshold voltage is 5.0 V (typ), with 100 °C continuous collector current rating of 40 A and maximum junction temperature of 175 °C.
The device operates in hard-switching mode with no integrated freewheeling diode, requiring external diode pairing in bridge configurations. Its SOA supports repetitive avalanche capability under clamped inductive load conditions per IEC 61800-5-1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCE(max) | 600 V - Supports DC bus voltages up to 400 V AC input rectified systems with 50 % safety margin. |
| IC @ 100 °C | 40 A - Sustains continuous motor drive output current in forced-air-cooled 3-phase inverter legs. |
| VCE(sat) (typ) | 1.5 V @ 25 °C, 40 A - Minimizes conduction loss in high-current, medium-duty-cycle applications like HVAC compressors. |
| Eoff (typ) | 0.58 mJ @ 25 °C, 40 A, RG = 25 Ω - Enables stable 2–20 kHz switching in UPS and solar string inverters without excessive heatsink burden. |
| Eon (typ) | 1.1 mJ @ 25 °C, 40 A, RG = 25 Ω - Balances turn-on loss against gate drive strength requirements in industrial gate driver ICs. |
| QG (typ) | 120 nC - Determines minimum gate driver peak current (≥2.4 A) needed for ≤100 ns turn-on delay in 20 kHz PWM systems. |
Pinout & Package
IRGPS47160DPBF uses the standard TO-247-3L package with isolated mounting flange. Pin assignment is validated per Infineon's official datasheet revision 2.0 (2019).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output terminal | Connected to DC+ rail in half-bridge leg; must be electrically isolated from heatsink via insulating pad or ceramic washer. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Requires low-inductance gate loop & negative turn-off bias (–5 V to –15 V) to prevent spurious turn-on during dV/dt transients. |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate driver; routed separately from power ground to avoid noise coupling into control circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench Field-Stop IGBT structure | Enables simultaneous optimization of VCE(sat) and Eoff without trade-off penalties seen in planar devices. |
| No integrated diode | Allows independent selection of ultrafast Si or SiC diode for tailored reverse recovery behavior and thermal management. |
| 175 °C max junction temperature | Supports operation in sealed industrial enclosures with ambient temperatures up to 85 °C and limited airflow. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Withstands unclamped inductive switching events up to 1000× without degradation, simplifying protection design in motor fault conditions. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IGW40N60T | Same VCE(max), IC, and TO-247 package; 0.77 mJ Eoff (vs. 0.58 mJ) and 0.69 mJ Eon (vs. 1.1 mJ). | Higher Eoff limits usable frequency to ≤12 kHz in thermally constrained designs; better suited for lower-frequency PFC stages. | Select IGW40N60T only when gate drive capability is limited and switching frequency is capped below 10 kHz. |
| IKP40N60T | TO-220 package, same electrical specs but lower thermal resistance limit (RthJC = 0.6 K/W vs. 0.45 K/W); no isolated flange. | Not suitable for >5 kW systems due to thermal derating; requires larger heatsink area and cannot be mounted directly to shared chassis ground. | Choose IKP40N60T only for space-constrained, low-power (<3 kW) motor drives where isolation and high-current density are not required. |
Compared with IGW40N60T and IKP40N60T, IRGPS47160DPBF offers superior Eoff/Eon balance and TO-247 thermal performance-making it the preferred choice for 5–15 kW industrial inverters demanding both efficiency and ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for IRGPS47160DPBF?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V. Operation above +20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage; sustained negative bias beyond –15 V may cause gate threshold shift. Recommended gate drive is +15 V turn-on and –8 V turn-off for reliable noise immunity in industrial environments.
Does IRGPS47160DPBF include an integrated freewheeling diode?
No. IRGPS47160DPBF is a single IGBT without an integrated anti-parallel diode. External fast-recovery or SiC Schottky diodes must be used in bridge configurations to handle reactive current commutation during PWM dead-time intervals.
Can IRGPS47160DPBF be paralleled with other IGBTs for higher current capacity?
Yes, but only with matched devices from the same wafer lot, identical gate drive impedance, and symmetrical PCB layout. Thermal coupling must be minimized using individual heatsinks or active cooling to prevent current imbalance due to positive temperature coefficient of VCE(sat).
What is the recommended gate resistor value for 16 kHz operation?
A 22 Ω non-inductive gate resistor is recommended for 16 kHz switching with standard ±15 V gate drivers. This provides ~100 ns turn-on delay and ~250 ns turn-off delay while limiting peak gate current to 0.68 A, balancing Eon/Eoff and EMI performance.
