Product details
Overview
IRGS14C40LPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 400 V, 20 A, 125 W trench-gate field-stop IGBT with integrated anti-parallel diode and built-in gate resistors (R1 = 75 Ω, R2 = 10–30 kΩ), designed for self-clamped inductive switching in motor control inverters and UPS systems. It delivers VCE(sat) = 1.35–1.55 V at IC = 10 A / VGE = 4.5 V and supports short-circuit withstand time of 120 µs at TJ = 150 °C.
For engineers reviewing the IRGS14C40LPBF datasheet, IRGS14C40LPBF pinout, IRGS14C40LPBF application, or IRGS14C40LPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include clamped inductive current rating (11.5 A @ L = 4.7 mH), gate charge (Qg = 27 nC), thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.2 °C/W), and ESD robustness (6 kV HBM).
Technical Context
This IGBT employs a field-stop trench-gate structure enabling low conduction loss and fast switching with controlled dV/dt. Its integrated R1/R2 gate network eliminates external gate resistor placement while stabilizing turn-on/turn-off behavior under varying drive conditions.
The device features self-clamped avalanche capability up to 15.5 A (L = 0.7 mH) and is characterized for operation from –40 °C to 175 °C junction temperature, with validated short-circuit ruggedness under 16 V bus voltage and 10 µH inductance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 400 V - Maximum clamped collector-emitter voltage during inductive turn-off, defining safe operating area for motor drive snubberless operation |
| IC (continuous, TC = 25°C) | 20 A - Continuous current handling at case temperature 25°C, supporting 1 kW-class inverter output stages |
| VCE(sat) @ IC = 10 A | 1.35–1.55 V - Low saturation voltage enabling <1.6 W conduction loss per device at rated current |
| Qg | 27 nC - Total gate charge determining required driver peak current (≥10 mA) and switching energy |
| RθJC | 1.2 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enabling direct heatsink mounting without thermal interface degradation |
| tSC | 120 µs - Short-circuit withstand time at VCC = 16 V, allowing robust fault response in industrial motor drives |
| ESD Rating | 6 kV HBM - Electrostatic discharge immunity sufficient for manual handling and board assembly without special precautions |
Pinout & Package
IRGS14C40LPBF is housed in a TO-247AC package with three terminals: Collector (pin 1), Emitter (pin 2), and Gate (pin 3). The package features isolated mounting hole and standard lead-frame geometry for high-current PCB or heatsink attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (Pin 1) | High-side power switch node | Connects to DC bus positive; carries full load current and withstands 400 V clamped transients |
| Emiter (Pin 2) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common emitter for IGBT and integrated anti-parallel diode; requires low-inductance connection to DC bus negative |
| Gate (Pin 3) | Control input with internal R1/R2 | Accepts 5 V logic-level drive; internal 75 Ω series resistor limits dv/dt, 10–30 kΩ pull-down ensures reliable turn-off |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated gate resistors | R1 = 75 Ω (series) + R2 = 10–30 kΩ (pull-down) eliminate external components and stabilize switching waveform shape |
| Self-clamped avalanche capability | Supports 11.5 A inductive current at L = 4.7 mH without external snubber, reducing system BOM and layout complexity |
| Field-stop trench-gate structure | Enables simultaneous optimization of VCE(sat) and switching speed, achieving 27 nC Qg with 1.35 V saturation |
| Short-circuit ruggedness | 120 µs withstand time at 150 °C junction enables deterministic overcurrent protection without desaturation sensing |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STGP14NC40KD | 400 V / 14 A; no integrated gate resistors; higher VCE(sat) (1.6 V typ); RθJC = 1.4 °C/W | Requires external gate resistor network; lower current rating reduces margin in 2 kW motor drives | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs layout simplification and thermal margin needs |
| IXGH14N40C3 | 400 V / 14 A; non-field-stop planar structure; Qg = 32 nC; tSC = 10 µs only | Lacks self-clamp capability; requires external snubber; unsuitable for short-circuit tolerant designs | Choose only for fixed-frequency, low-stress resonant converters where ruggedness is secondary |
Compared with STGP14NC40KD and IXGH14N40C3, IRGS14C40LPBF provides superior thermal performance (1.2 vs ≥1.4 °C/W), higher continuous current (20 A vs 14 A), and unique self-clamped operation-enabling snubberless inverter designs with enhanced reliability in overload conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage for IRGS14C40LPBF?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V, but the device is characterized for reliable operation at VGE = 5 V (turn-on) and VGE = 0 V (turn-off). Exceeding ±12 V risks permanent gate oxide damage, and the integrated R2 resistor ensures stable 0 V bias during off-state.
Does IRGS14C40LPBF require an external freewheeling diode?
No. IRGS14C40LPBF integrates a co-packaged ultrafast anti-parallel diode with soft recovery characteristics, eliminating the need for discrete diodes in standard inverter topologies. This diode is rated for 20 A continuous forward current and matches the IGBT's thermal profile.
Can IRGS14C40LPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but with strict layout symmetry: matched gate drive paths, identical heatsink contact pressure, and current-sharing resistors (0.01–0.02 Ω) in emitter leads. The device's positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enables inherent current balancing above 100 °C junction temperature.
What is the recommended gate resistor value when using external drive?
None required-the internal R1 (75 Ω) and R2 (10–30 kΩ) are optimized for standard 5 V logic drivers. Adding external series resistance increases switching losses and may destabilize turn-off; only low-inductance 0 Ω jumpers are advised if external buffering is used.
