Product details
Overview
STGW30NC60W from STMicroelectronics is a 30 A, 600 V ultra-fast IGBT in TO-247 package, designed for high-frequency switching in hard-switched and resonant topologies. It features low Cres/Cies ratio (52 pF / 2080 pF ≈ 0.025), 2.1 V typical VCE(sat) at 20 A/25 °C, and 102 nC total gate charge - enabling efficient operation in motor drives, UPS inverters, and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the STGW30NC60W datasheet, STGW30NC60W pinout, STGW30NC60W application, or STGW30NC60W equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical ratings, thermal performance data, switching behavior under 125 °C junction conditions, and real-world design implications of its PowerMESH™ process and ECOPACK® compliance.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's PowerMESH™ vertical structure to simultaneously optimize conduction loss and switching speed. Its 0.62 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance supports high-power density mounting on heatsinks, while the low reverse transfer capacitance (Cres = 52 pF) minimizes Miller-induced cross-conduction risk in bridge configurations.
The device operates with ±20 V gate-emitter voltage rating and exhibits stable threshold voltage (VGE(th) = 3.75–5.75 V) across –55 to 150 °C. At 125 °C case temperature, it sustains 30 A continuous collector current and delivers 455 µJ turn-on + 355 µJ turn-off energy at 390 V, 20 A, RG = 10 Ω.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands full DC bus voltage in 400 V AC-input PFC and 3-phase inverter applications without derating. |
| IC (100 °C) | 30 A - Continuous output current capability at industrial ambient temperatures with standard heatsinking. |
| VCE(sat) | 2.1 V (typ.) at 20 A, 25 °C - Directly determines conduction loss: ~42 W at 20 A, enabling >98% efficiency in optimized 10–50 kHz designs. |
| Cres/Cies | 52 pF / 2080 pF = 0.025 - Low ratio suppresses dv/dt-induced false turn-on, eliminating need for negative gate drive in half-bridge layouts. |
| Qg | 102 nC - Gate drive power requirement of ~1.5 mW/MHz at 15 V, compatible with standard IGBT drivers like STGAP2SIC. |
| Rthj-case | 0.62 °C/W - Enables 125 °C junction operation with ≤77.5 °C case rise at 200 W dissipation, supporting compact thermal design. |
| Ets (125 °C) | 801 µJ - Total switching loss at elevated temperature confirms robustness in thermally constrained enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
STGW30NC60W uses a TO-247 package with isolated tab (collector-connected), rated for 200 W total dissipation at TC = 25 °C and compliant with ECOPACK® lead-free soldering standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Tab) | Collector (electrically connected to metal tab) | Must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system topology requires common-collector configuration; enables direct thermal coupling. |
| 2 | Gate | High-impedance MOS-controlled terminal; requires <10 Ω series resistance to limit ringing and ensure controlled dv/dt during switching. |
| 3 | Emitter | Low-inductance return path for load current; layout must minimize loop area with gate driver ground to reduce shoot-through risk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low Cres/Cies ratio | 0.025 - Reduces Miller feedback, allowing reliable operation without active Miller clamping in 20–100 kHz bridge circuits. |
| PowerMESH™ die architecture | Optimized cell pitch and trench depth - achieves 2.1 V VCE(sat) with 102 nC Qg, balancing conduction and switching losses better than planar IGBTs. |
| ECOPACK® packaging | Lead-free second-level interconnect - meets RoHS and JEDEC JESD97 requirements; qualified for reflow up to 260 °C peak. |
| High dI/dt capability | 1600 A/µs (typ.) at 125 °C - Supports fast current ramping in resonant LLC and ZVS-PWM converters without oscillation. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: 3-phase inverter stage in 5–15 kW HVAC compressors and servo amplifiers operating at 8–20 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in each leg of IGBT-based voltage-source inverter, handling bidirectional reactive power and PWM-modulated output. Use Value: 30 A/600 V rating covers 400 V AC line with 2× safety margin; low VCE(sat) reduces heatsink size by ~35% vs. legacy 400 V devices. |
Use Scenario: Online double-conversion UPS with 6–12 kHz IGBT-based rectifier and inverter stages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional power switch in both AC/DC and DC/AC conversion paths, synchronized to grid frequency and battery voltage. Use Value: 150 A pulsed current rating supports overload handling (125% for 10 s); low Eoff at 125 °C maintains efficiency during extended backup operation. |
| High-Frequency SMPS | Active PFC Front-Ends |
|
Use Scenario: Resonant half-bridge DC/DC converter in telecom rectifiers and EV charging modules (100–300 kHz). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zero-voltage switching (ZVS) main switch, turned on at near-zero drain voltage to minimize turn-on loss. Use Value: 52 pF Cres ensures minimal capacitive discharge loss during ZVS transitions; 0.62 °C/W Rthj-case sustains 150 °C junction under burst-mode loads. |
Use Scenario: Boost-type active PFC stage in 2–5 kW server PSUs and industrial power supplies (30–100 kHz). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional high-side switch controlling inductor current to shape input current waveform into sinusoidal phase alignment. Use Value: 2.1 V VCE(sat) limits conduction loss to <1.5% at full load; low Cres prevents gate oscillation during diode reverse recovery events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-frequency IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGH30N60B3 | Higher VCE(sat) (2.4 V typ.), higher Qg (130 nC), same 600 V/30 A rating | Less suitable for >50 kHz due to higher switching loss; preferred where gate drive simplicity outweighs efficiency | Select when prioritizing gate drive compatibility over peak efficiency in 20–40 kHz industrial inverters |
| Infineon IKP30N60T | Trench-stop IGBT; lower Eon (280 µJ) but higher Eoff (290 µJ) at 125 °C; TO-247 package | Better for soft-switching topologies requiring low turn-on loss; less robust against short-circuit stress | Choose for ZVS resonant converters where turn-on loss dominates; avoid in hard-switched motor drives with frequent overloads |
Compared with IXGH30N60B3 and IKP30N60T, STGW30NC60W offers the lowest Cres/Cies ratio and best thermal resistance, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability hard-switched applications where cross-conduction immunity and heatsink efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for STGW30NC60W in a 20 kHz motor drive?
A 10 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for all switching characterization tests. For 20 kHz operation, values between 5–15 Ω balance switching loss and EMI; exceeding 22 Ω increases turn-off time beyond safe SOA limits at 125 °C. Layout parasitics must be minimized regardless of RG selection.
Does STGW30NC60W require negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. Its low Cres/Cies ratio (0.025) and stable VGE(th) (3.75–5.75 V) enable robust turn-off with 0 V gate bias in half-bridge configurations. Negative voltage (–5 V) is optional for enhanced noise immunity in high-dv/dt environments but not required for functional reliability.
Can STGW30NC60W replace STGP30NC60W in an existing TO-220 design?
No - STGW30NC60W uses TO-247 with isolated collector tab, while STGP30NC60W uses TO-220 with non-isolated tab. Mechanical mounting, heatsink isolation, and PCB footprint differ fundamentally. Electrical specs are identical, but board redesign and thermal validation are mandatory for replacement.
What is the short-circuit withstand time for STGW30NC60W at 390 V bus voltage?
Per Figure 15 (Turn-off SOA), STGW30NC60W supports 10 µs short-circuit withstand at VCE = 390 V, Tj = 150 °C, and VGE = 15 V. This requires fast desaturation detection (<1 µs response) and gate shutdown within 5 µs to remain within safe operating area.
