Product details
Overview
IRGS15B60KPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 15 A insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) with integrated ultrafast soft-recovery anti-parallel diode in D²PAK (TO-263) package. It delivers 1.8 V typical VCE(on) at 15 A/15 VGE, 10 µs short-circuit capability, and 92 ns diode reverse recovery time (trr)-enabling high-efficiency motor control inverters operating up to 20 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the IRGS15B60KPBF datasheet, IRGS15B60KPBF pinout, IRGS15B60KPBF application, or IRGS15B60KPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its square RBSOA, positive VCE(on) temperature coefficient for stable parallel operation, low EMI due to ultrasoft diode recovery, and validated performance at TJ = 150°C in industrial drive stages.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs non-punch-through (NPT) silicon technology with optimized carrier lifetime control to achieve low conduction loss while maintaining robust short-circuit ruggedness. Its monolithic integration with an ultrafast soft-recovery diode eliminates external diode placement constraints and reduces layout parasitics in half-bridge configurations.
The device operates with a gate threshold voltage (VGE(th)) of 4.5 V (typ), exhibits 10.6 S forward transconductance (gfe), and supports ±20 V gate drive. Switching behavior is characterized by 34 ns turn-on delay and 203 ns turn-off delay at TJ = 150°C, with total switching loss of 835 µJ under standard 400 V, 15 A conditions.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with isolated tab; thermally enhanced copper leadframe; RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Collector (C) | Main power output terminal | Connected to motor phase node; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance PCB copper pour. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | Requires low-impedance gate driver (RG = 22 Ω typical); sensitive to noise-must be shielded and decoupled near device. |
| Emitter (E) | Power return and reference node | Serves as common source for IGBT and diode; critical for accurate current sensing and gate drive referencing. |
| Tab / Heat Sink Pad | Thermal and electrical connection | Internally connected to emitter; must be soldered to PCB ground plane or heatsink for thermal management and EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Square RBSOA | Guarantees safe operation at VCE = 600 V and IC = 15 A simultaneously-enables reliable snubberless hard-switching. |
| Ultrasoft diode recovery | trr = 92 ns with 29 A peak reverse recovery current (Irr)-reduces voltage overshoot and EMI filter size. |
| Positive VCE(on) tempco | Enables inherent current sharing in paralleled devices without external ballasting resistors. |
| 10 µs short-circuit capability | Allows time for protection circuitry (e.g., DESAT detection) to trigger before thermal runaway occurs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRGB15B60KDPbF | TO-220AB package; identical die, higher RθJC (0.75 °C/W vs. 0.6 °C/W); same VCE(on), trr, and SOA. | Through-hole mounting; less suitable for high-density automated assembly or high-power density designs. | Select when manual assembly, legacy board compatibility, or lower-cost heatsinking is prioritized over thermal performance. |
| STGP15H60DL | 600 V/15 A IGBT + soft diode; 2.0 V VCE(on) (typ); 120 ns trr; RθJC = 0.7 °C/W; different gate charge profile (Qg = 68 nC). | Higher conduction loss and slower diode recovery increase system losses and EMI filtering requirements. | Choose only if ST's ecosystem support, qualification for specific automotive sub-systems, or dual-sourcing policy mandates use. |
Compared with IRGB15B60KDPbF and STGP15H60DL, IRGS15B60KPBF provides the lowest thermal resistance and fastest diode recovery in its class-making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-power-density motor drives where thermal headroom and EMI compliance are critical.

FAQ
What gate resistor value is recommended for IRGS15B60KPBF in a 20 kHz motor inverter?
A 22 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for standard 400 V, 15 A switching tests and balances turn-on speed, Miller immunity, and EMI. For 20 kHz operation, this value yields 34 ns td(on) and 203 ns td(off) at TJ = 150°C-ensuring adequate dead-time margin while limiting dV/dt-induced shoot-through risk.
Can IRGS15B60KPBF be paralleled without external emitter resistors?
Yes-its positive VCE(on) temperature coefficient ensures inherent current balancing across devices operating at different junction temperatures. Parallel operation has been validated in Infineon application note AN-1001 using matched gate drive and symmetrical PCB layout, with no external ballasting required.
Is the integrated diode suitable for regenerative braking in servo drives?
Yes-the ultrafast soft-recovery diode (trr = 92 ns, Erec = 540 µJ) is explicitly characterized for bidirectional energy flow. It supports efficient regeneration into the DC link during deceleration without excessive voltage overshoot or thermal stress, provided snubber design accounts for its low Qrr.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 15 A operation?
At 15 A continuous collector current, the maximum case temperature is 100°C-corresponding to the rated IC value in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this requires derating; thermal design must ensure RθJC + RθCS + RθSA ≤ 4.0 °C/W to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C.
