Product details
Overview
STGD6NC60HT4 from STMicroelectronics is an N-channel 600V, 7A (at TC = 100°C) PowerMESH™ IGBT in DPAK package, optimized for high-frequency switching in hard-switched and resonant topologies. It delivers VCE(sat) ≤ 2.5 V at 3 A/15 VGE, low CRES/CIES ratio to suppress cross-conduction, and tf = 100 ns (Tj = 25°C), enabling use in SMPS PFC stages and motor driver half-bridges.
For engineers reviewing the STGD6NC60HT4 datasheet, STGD6NC60HT4 pinout, STGD6NC60HT4 application, or STGD6NC60HT4 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 600 V blocking capability, thermal resistance Rthj-case = 2 °C/W, gate charge Qg = 13.6 nC, switching energy Ets = 88 µJ at 25°C, and DPAK mechanical compatibility with standard TO-252 footprints.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's patented PowerMESH™ strip layout to simultaneously minimize conduction loss (low VCE(sat)) and switching loss (fast tf, low CRES). Its gate threshold voltage VGE(th) ranges 3.75–5.75 V, ensuring robust noise immunity while supporting standard 15 V gate drive.
The device is characterized for inductive-load switching at VCC = 390 V and IC = 3 A with RG = 10 Ω, delivering td(off) = 76 ns and Eoff = 68 µJ at 25°C - parameters validated across Tj = 25–125°C per Figures 10–12 in the official datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - rated blocking voltage for primary-side switch in 400 V DC bus systems |
| VCE(sat) max | 2.5 V @ IC = 3 A, TC = 100°C - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 3 A continuous |
| IC (cont.) | 7 A @ TC = 100°C - defines usable current under real heatsink-limited conditions |
| tf | 100 ns @ Tj = 25°C - supports >100 kHz switching in resonant LLC converters |
| Qg | 13.6 nC @ VGE = 15 V - determines gate driver power requirement and rise/fall control |
| Rthj-case | 2 °C/W - allows direct mounting to heatsink without thermal interface pad derating |
| CRES/CIES | 5.5 pF / 205 pF - low ratio minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk in bridge configurations |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection; JEDEC-compliant footprint (6.0 × 6.6 mm body, 9.35–10.10 mm height); RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® with lead-free second-level interconnect.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring 13.6 nC total charge for full turn-on |
| 2 (Collector) | High-side power output | Exposed metal tab - electrically connected to collector; must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential |
| 3 (Emitter) | Power return reference | Low-inductance emitter path critical for stable switching; connects to source of complementary low-side switch |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PowerMESH™ strip layout | Enables simultaneous optimization of VCE(sat) and switching speed without trade-off penalties |
| Low CRES/CIES ratio | 0.027 - reduces Miller feedback, allowing reliable operation with minimal gate resistor tuning |
| High-frequency optimization (suffix "H") | Guaranteed tf ≤ 124 ns up to Tj = 125°C - validated for >50 kHz hard-switched PFC |
| ECOPACK® compliance | Lead-free soldering compatible with JEDEC JESD97; marked on package and inner box label |
| Turn-off SOA support | ICL = 19 A @ Vclamp = 390 V, Tj = 150°C - enables robust short-circuit withstand in motor drives |
Applications
| High-Frequency Inverters | SMPS PFC Stages |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 20–100 kHz single-phase inverters for solar microinverters and UPS systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch in half-bridge topology handling 600 V DC link with fast zero-voltage switching transitions. Use Value: tf = 100 ns and Eoff = 68 µJ reduce switching losses by ≥35% vs. standard 600 V IGBTs at 50 kHz. | Use Scenario: Active boost PFC in 1–3 kW server PSUs and industrial power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching element in continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost converter operating at 65–100 kHz. Use Value: Low CRES/CIES ratio prevents false turn-on during diode recovery, eliminating need for negative gate drive. |
| Motor Driver Half-Bridges | Resonant LLC Converters |
Use Scenario: 300–750 W BLDC motor drivers in HVAC blowers and industrial pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Upper-leg switch in three-phase inverter leg, commutated with precise dead-time control. Use Value: VCE(sat) ≤ 2.5 V at 7 A ensures <17.5 W conduction loss, reducing heatsink size by 40% vs. 3.2 V alternatives. | Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 150–300 kHz LLC resonant DC-DC converters for telecom rectifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zero-current switching (ZCS) capable switch with controlled dV/dt during turn-off. Use Value: Verified Ets = 130 µJ at 125°C enables stable operation at full load across industrial temperature range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-frequency IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRG4PH60UD1 | VCE(sat) = 2.7 V @ 3 A; tf = 110 ns; Qg = 16 nC; non-ECOPACK | Slightly higher conduction loss and gate drive demand; no lead-free marking | Acceptable where legacy RoHS exemptions apply and 0.2 V VCE(sat) penalty is tolerable |
| FGA25N120ANTD | VCES = 1200 V; IC = 25 A; tf = 140 ns; larger TO-247 package | Over-specified voltage rating; unsuitable for space-constrained DPAK layouts | Only viable if system requires 1200 V margin and board area permits TO-247 footprint |
Compared with IRG4PH60UD1 and FGA25N120ANTD, STGD6NC60HT4 offers the lowest thermal resistance (2 °C/W), smallest footprint (DPAK), and tightest CRES/CIES ratio - making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency, high-frequency designs where thermal density and layout space are constrained.

FAQ
Is STGD6NC60HT4 still in active production?
No - STGD6NC60HT4 is marked as Obsolete Product(s) in the official ST datasheet (Rev 3, Feb 2007). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and provides extended lifecycle support including obsolescence forecasting and cross-reference assistance for design continuity.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?
The datasheet specifies test conditions using RG = 10 Ω for all switching waveforms and energy measurements. For stable operation across temperature, RG should remain between 5 Ω and 15 Ω; values >20 Ω increase td(off) beyond 100 ns and raise Eoff by >25%, risking thermal runaway in high-frequency use.
Can STGD6NC60HT4 be used without a co-packaged diode?
Yes - STGD6NC60HT4 is a standalone IGBT without integrated freewheeling diode. The datasheet explicitly states that external diodes (or co-pack diodes in other variants) must be used in inductive-load circuits. Its low CRES/CIES ratio ensures compatibility with ultrafast silicon diodes like STTH8R06D.
Does the DPAK package require thermal vias under the drain tab?
Yes - the exposed drain tab is electrically and thermally connected to the collector. To achieve the specified Rthj-case = 2 °C/W, at least four 0.3 mm diameter thermal vias (filled or plated) must connect the tab directly to an internal copper pour or external heatsink interface layer, per ST's AN4101 layout guidelines.
