Product details
Overview
STGWA80H65DFB from STMicroelectronics is a trench-gate field-stop IGBT with integrated ultra-fast soft-recovery antiparallel diode, rated for 650 V VCES, 80 A continuous collector current at TC = 100 °C, and 1.6 V typical VCE(sat) @ 80 A/15 VGE. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and is optimized for high-frequency photovoltaic inverters and industrial DC-AC conversion stages.
For engineers reviewing the STGWA80H65DFB datasheet, STGWA80H65DFB pinout, STGWA80H65DFB application, or STGWA80H65DFB equivalent, key selection criteria include its minimized tail current, tight parameter distribution enabling safe paralleling, low RthJC (0.32 °C/W), and diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 1105 nC @ 25 °C) in inductive switching conditions.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's proprietary HB-series trench gate + field-stop architecture to balance conduction and switching losses. Its slightly positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter spread support stable parallel operation without external current-sharing resistors.
The integrated diode features very fast soft recovery (trr = 85 ns typ., Qrr = 1105 nC @ 25 °C), low forward voltage (VF = 1.9 V typ. @ 80 A), and controlled dIrr/dt (722 A/µs) to reduce EMI and voltage overshoot in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 650 V - Maximum blocking voltage under open-gate condition; supports 400–600 V DC bus designs with margin. |
| IC (continuous, TC = 100 °C) | 80 A - Rated output current at practical heatsink temperature; enables compact 10–15 kW inverter stages. |
| VCE(sat) (typ., 80 A, 25 °C) | 1.6 V - Low conduction loss; reduces I²R heating and improves efficiency at rated load. |
| Eoff (typ., 400 V, 80 A, 10 Ω) | 1.5 mJ - Measured turn-off energy under standard inductive test; defines snubber and gate drive power requirements. |
| trr (diode, 80 A, 400 V, 25 °C) | 85 ns - Fast reverse recovery time; limits voltage spike and commutation loss during freewheeling. |
| RthJC (IGBT) | 0.32 °C/W - Low thermal resistance from junction to case; allows higher power density with standard TO-247 heatsinking. |
| TJ(max) | 175 °C - Maximum operating junction temperature; supports high ambient or thermally constrained environments. |
Pinout & Package
STGWA80H65DFB uses the TO-247 long leads package (JEDEC TO-247-3L variant with extended lead length per Table 10), featuring isolated tab (collector), center lead (emitter), and left lead (gate). The package enables improved mechanical stability and thermal interface consistency in high-vibration or high-power-density modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Lead 1 (left) | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires ≤ ±20 V gate-emitter voltage; low input capacitance (Cies = 10524 pF) demands robust gate driver current capability. |
| Lead 2 (center) | Emitter (E) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; carries full load current and diode freewheeling current. |
| Tab (mounting surface) | Collector (C) | High-side power terminal; electrically connected to heatsink; must be insulated from chassis unless system design permits common-collector topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Minimized tail current | Reduces turn-off energy (Eoff = 1.5 mJ) and associated heat generation during hard switching. |
| Tight parameter distribution | Enables direct paralleling of multiple devices without external emitter resistors or active current balancing. |
| Very fast soft recovery diode | Qrr = 1105 nC and trr = 85 ns minimize commutation loss and dv/dt-induced false triggering. |
| Low thermal resistance (RthJC) | 0.32 °C/W for IGBT die allows >400 W dissipation at ΔT = 125 °C, supporting high-power density layouts. |
| Positive VCE(sat) tempco | Ensures inherent current sharing in parallel configurations as temperature rises, improving system reliability. |
Applications
| Photovoltaic Inverters | Industrial Motor Drives |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Three-phase string inverters converting DC from solar arrays to grid-synchronized AC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching device in 2-level or 3-level NPC inverter legs; handles 16–20 kHz PWM with synchronous rectification via integrated diode. Use Value: High-speed switching (td(off) = 280 ns) and low Ets (3.6 mJ) directly improve inverter efficiency above 98.5% at full load. |
Use Scenario: Variable-frequency drives controlling induction motors in HVAC, pumps, and compressors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output stage switch in 6-pulse inverter bridge; conducts motor phase current and recirculates reactive energy via antiparallel diode. Use Value: Soft-recovery diode (trr = 85 ns) suppresses voltage overshoot during regenerative braking, reducing snubber size and EMI filter cost. |
| UPS Systems | Induction Heating |
|
Use Scenario: Online double-conversion UPS delivering clean sine-wave output during mains failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter-stage switch handling bidirectional power flow between battery bank and AC output; operates in hard-switched mode at 8–12 kHz. Use Value: 175 °C TJ(max) and low RthJC allow sustained overload capacity (240 A pulsed) during battery discharge transients. |
Use Scenario: Medium-frequency resonant inverters (20–50 kHz) supplying power to induction cooktops or metal melting coils. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridge switch managing high di/dt (1270 A/µs) and zero-voltage switching transitions; diode handles resonant tank current reversal. Use Value: Tight VCE(sat) distribution ensures balanced current sharing across paralleled devices in multi-kW systems, preventing thermal runaway. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar IGBT switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN80N60B3 | 600 V rating, higher VCE(sat) (1.8 V typ.), no integrated diode; requires external ultrafast diode. | Lacks monolithic diode integration; increases PCB area and layout complexity for freewheeling path. | Prefer when system already uses discrete diodes or requires separate diode optimization. |
| Infineon IKW80N65ES5 | 650 V, 80 A, similar VCE(sat) (1.65 V), but slower trr (120 ns) and higher Qrr (1800 nC). | Higher diode recovery loss increases Eoff by ~0.8 mJ in same test conditions, reducing efficiency at high frequency. | Acceptable where switching frequency ≤ 10 kHz or thermal margin exists; avoid for >15 kHz PV inverters. |
Compared with IXGN80N60B3 and IKW80N65ES5, STGWA80H65DFB delivers superior system-level efficiency in high-frequency inverter designs due to its monolithic soft-recovery diode, lower total switching loss (3.6 mJ), and tighter parameter spread enabling simpler paralleling-without requiring external diodes or derating for mismatch.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-emitter voltage rating for STGWA80H65DFB?
The absolute maximum gate-emitter voltage is ±20 V, as specified in Table 2. Operation beyond this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to –10 V for turn-off to ensure robust noise immunity and fast switching. Gate leakage current remains below 250 nA at ±20 V, confirming stable insulation integrity.
Does STGWA80H65DFB require an external freewheeling diode?
No. STGWA80H65DFB integrates a very fast soft-recovery antiparallel diode with trr = 85 ns and Qrr = 1105 nC at 25 °C. This monolithic diode is fully rated for the device's 80 A continuous forward current and 240 A pulsed current, eliminating the need for external diodes in standard inverter leg configurations.
How does the TO-247 long leads variant differ from standard TO-247 in thermal performance?
The TO-247 long leads package (per Table 10) maintains identical RthJC = 0.32 °C/W as the standard TO-247, since thermal path depends on die-to-case interface, not lead length. However, longer leads improve mechanical compliance during board flexure and simplify automated insertion in through-hole assembly, with no electrical or thermal trade-off.
Can STGWA80H65DFB be paralleled with other IGBTs in the same HB series?
Yes. Its slightly positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight parameter distribution (confirmed in datasheet Figure 7 and text) enable stable current sharing without emitter resistors. ST explicitly states "safe paralleling" as a feature, validated under real-world thermal gradients up to 175 °C junction temperature.
