Infineon Technologies IRGR4607DPBF

Overview

IRGR4607DPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 600 V, 11 A D-Pak packaged IGBT with integrated ultrafast soft-recovery anti-parallel diode. It delivers 1.75 V typical V_CE(on) at 4.0 A/15 V_GE/25°C, supports 5 µs short-circuit SOA at 175°C junction temperature, and targets high-efficiency switching in industrial motor drives and solar inverters.

For engineers reviewing the IRGR4607DPBF datasheet, IRGR4607DPBF pinout, IRGR4607DPBF application, or IRGR4607DPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.6 °C/W IGBT R_θJC, 140 µJ E_on at 25°C, clamped inductive load rating of 16 A, and positive V_CE(on) temperature coefficient enabling stable parallel operation.

Technical Context

This IGBT employs a trench-gate field-stop structure optimized for low conduction and switching losses in hard-switched 400–600 V DC-link applications. Its integrated diode exhibits 48 ns t_rr, 5.1 A I_rr, and 7.4 µJ E_rec at 175°C - characteristics critical for minimizing voltage overshoot and EMI in inverter leg commutation.

The device features a 5 µs short-circuit safe operating area (SCSOA) at V_CC = 400 V and full square RBSOA up to 600 V at 175°C. Gate threshold voltage (4.0–6.5 V) and -19 mV/°C temperature coefficient ensure robust noise immunity and predictable turn-on behavior across -40 to +175°C.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

IRGR4607DPBF uses the D-Pak (TO-252AA) surface-mount package with isolated tab. The plastic body provides creepage/clearance compliant with industrial safety standards, and the copper leadframe ensures low-inductance emitter connection.

FAQ

What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?

A 100 Ω gate resistor is validated in the datasheet for 400 V/4.0 A operation at 25°C, yielding 27 ns t_d(on), 15 ns t_r, and 140 µJ E_on. Increasing R_G beyond 100 Ω raises switching losses and thermal stress; values below 47 Ω risk excessive dI/dt and shoot-through risk without proper dead-time tuning.

Can IRGR4607DPBF be used in parallel configurations?

Yes - its positive V_CE(on) temperature coefficient (-19 mV/°C V_GE(th) drift and rising saturation voltage with junction temperature) ensures natural current sharing. Layout symmetry, matched gate drive paths, and individual emitter resistors are required to maintain balance across paralleled units.

Is the integrated diode rated for continuous freewheeling current?

Yes - the diode supports 8.0 A continuous forward current at T_C = 25°C and 5.0 A at T_C = 100°C, with 16 A peak rating. Its 48 ns t_rr and soft recovery minimize reverse recovery losses during inverter leg commutation at ≤20 kHz.

What thermal interface material is recommended for D-Pak mounting?

For optimal R_θJC performance, use a 0.1 mm thick thermal interface material (TIM) with ≥1.5 W/m·K conductivity - such as Dow Corning TC-5630 or Parker Chomerics THERM-A-GAP G30 - applied uniformly to the D-Pak tab before mechanical fastening to an anodized aluminum heatsink.
