Product details
Overview
STGWA60V60DWFAG from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101 qualified automotive-grade trench gate field-stop IGBT co-packaged with a silicon carbide freewheeling diode in TO-247 long leads package. It delivers 600 V VCES, 60 A continuous collector current at TC = 100 °C, 1.85 V typical VCE(sat) @ 60 A, and features tail-less switching with no reverse recovery charge from the integrated SiC diode - enabling high-efficiency totem-pole PFC and automotive DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the STGWA60V60DWFAG datasheet, STGWA60V60DWFAG pinout, STGWA60V60DWFAG application, or STGWA60V60DWFAG equivalent, key selection criteria include its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient for safe paralleling, tight parameter distribution, low RthJC (0.4 °C/W), and robust 175 °C junction operation - critical for high-reliability traction inverters and on-board chargers.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's proprietary trench gate field-stop structure optimized for very high-frequency switching (up to ~100 kHz at full load), balancing conduction and switching losses. Its co-packaged SiC diode eliminates reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 0 nC) and exhibits negligible temperature dependence in trr and Qrr, unlike silicon diodes.
The device supports gate drive with ±20 V VGE, shows stable 5–7 V VGE(th) across –55 to 175 °C, and maintains safe operating area up to 240 A pulsed current. Thermal resistance junction-to-case is separately specified for IGBT (0.4 °C/W) and diode (0.9 °C/W), enabling independent thermal modeling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 600 V - Withstands 600 V blocking voltage under zero-gate condition; suitable for 400 V bus systems with margin. |
| IC (continuous, TC = 100 °C) | 60 A - Sustains 60 A DC collector current at case temperature of 100 °C without derating beyond datasheet limits. |
| VCE(sat) (typ., 60 A, 25 °C) | 1.85 V - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss; enables <1.2 W conduction loss per device at 60 A. |
| Eoff (typ., 400 V, 60 A, 175 °C) | 0.78 mJ - Turn-off energy increases only modestly at high temperature, supporting stable high-frequency operation. |
| RthJC (IGBT) | 0.4 °C/W - Enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink; allows >300 W power dissipation at ΔT = 120 °C. |
| Qrr (SiC diode, 175 °C) | 700 nC - Measured reverse recovery charge (vs. 0 nC ideal); significantly lower than Si diodes (>2 µC), reducing diode switching loss. |
| trr (SiC diode, 175 °C) | 400 ns - Fast, temperature-stable recovery time ensures predictable snubber design and EMI behavior. |
Pinout & Package
STGWA60V60DWFAG uses TO-247 long leads package (ECOPACK® compliant) with isolated tab (collector). The package provides mechanical robustness for automotive vibration environments and high thermal conductivity via copper leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Pin 1) | Gate | Controls IGBT turn-on/turn-off; requires 15 V nominal drive; ±20 V absolute max rating prevents oxide damage. |
| C (Pin 2, Tab) | Collector | Main high-side power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab; must be mounted to heatsink with electrical isolation. |
| E (Pin 3) | Emitter | Common emitter node for IGBT and cathode of integrated SiC diode; serves as reference for gate drive and current sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood applications including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per JESD22 standards. |
| Tight VCE(sat) distribution | ±0.25 V variation across production lot - enables reliable parallel operation without current-sharing resistors. |
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | VCE(sat) rises with junction temperature - provides inherent current limiting and thermal stability during overload. |
| Integrated SiC freewheeling diode | No reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0) and minimal dIrr/dt - eliminates diode-induced voltage spikes and reduces EMI filter burden. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Enables operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., engine bay, traction inverter housing) without forced cooling derating. |
Applications
| On-Board Charger (OBC) | Traction Inverter Stage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-frequency automotive IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN60N60A4 | 600 V/60 A Si IGBT with separate Si diode; higher VCE(sat) (2.2 V typ.), no integrated SiC diode; RthJC = 0.55 °C/W. | Lacks co-packaged SiC diode - requires external SiC or Si fast diode, increasing layout complexity and EMI risk. | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency gain and thermal margin is available. |
| Infineon IKW40N60H3 | 600 V/40 A TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT; VCE(sat) = 1.6 V (typ.) but rated only to 150 °C TJ; no integrated diode. | Lower current rating and junction temperature limit restrict use in sustained 60 A automotive applications above 105 °C ambient. | Suitable for space-constrained auxiliary converters where peak current ≤40 A and thermal envelope permits. |

FAQ
What gate resistor value is recommended for optimal switching performance?
A 4.7 Ω gate resistor is validated in the datasheet for 400 V, 60 A inductive switching tests, yielding balanced Eon/Eoff and manageable dv/dt. Lower values (≤2.2 Ω) reduce switching loss but increase EMI and gate driver stress; higher values (>10 Ω) suppress ringing but raise total switching energy by up to 40% at 175 °C.
Can STGWA60V60DWFAG be paralleled reliably without external current-sharing components?
Yes - its positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution (±0.25 V VCE(sat)) enable natural current sharing. Parallel operation has been verified with matched gate drive and symmetrical PCB layout; no emitter resistors required for up to four devices in automotive OBC designs.
Does the integrated SiC diode require separate gate control or biasing?
No - the SiC diode is uncontrolled and operates passively as a freewheeling path. It shares the emitter terminal with the IGBT and requires no additional drive circuitry. Its zero reverse recovery charge eliminates need for snubbers or active commutation control.
What is the maximum allowable gate-emitter voltage during transient conditions?
The absolute maximum VGE is ±20 V per datasheet Table 1. Transient overshoot exceeding +15 V or –10 V must be clamped using bidirectional TVS diodes (e.g., SMAJ15A) at the gate terminal to prevent oxide breakdown, especially during high-di/dt switching in high-inductance layouts.
