Product details
Overview
STGWA80H65FB from STMicroelectronics is a trench-gate field-stop IGBT in the HB series, rated for 650 V collector-emitter voltage and 80 A continuous collector current at TC = 100 °C, with VCE(sat) = 1.6 V (typ.) at IC = 80 A and TJ = 25 °C. It features minimized tail current, tight parameter distribution, and safe paralleling capability-optimized for high-frequency photovoltaic inverters and industrial DC-AC conversion stages.
For engineers reviewing the STGWA80H65FB datasheet, STGWA80H65FB pinout, STGWA80H65FB application, or STGWA80H65FB equivalent, this device delivers verified high-speed switching performance (td(off) = 280 ns typ., Eoff = 1.5 mJ typ. at TJ = 25 °C), low thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.32 °C/W), and stable VCE(sat) temperature coefficient enabling robust parallel operation in grid-tied solar systems.
Technical Context
This IGBT employs ST's proprietary trench gate + field-stop structure to balance conduction and switching losses-achieving 1.6 V VCE(sat) at 80 A while maintaining fast turn-off (tf = 31 ns typ.) and low total gate charge (Qg = 414 nC). Its slightly positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient ensures current sharing stability under parallel configuration.
Designed for hard-switched inductive loads, it supports gate drive voltages up to ±20 V, withstands 650 V VCES, and operates reliably from −55 °C to 175 °C junction temperature-validated per IEC 60747-9 for power semiconductor devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCES | 650 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; enables use in 600 V-class DC bus systems (e.g., PV string inputs). |
| IC (TC = 100 °C) | 80 A - Continuous current rating at case temperature of 100 °C; defines thermal design margin for heatsink sizing. |
| VCE(sat) (IC = 80 A, TJ = 25 °C) | 1.6 V (typ.) - Low saturation voltage reduces conduction loss; contributes to >98% efficiency in 10–20 kHz solar inverters. |
| RthJC | 0.32 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows direct mounting to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance. |
| Qg | 414 nC - Total gate charge; determines required gate driver peak current (e.g., ≥40 A for 10 ns rise time with 10 Ω gate resistor). |
| Eoff (TJ = 25 °C) | 1.5 mJ - Turn-off energy at 400 V, 80 A, RG = 10 Ω; sets switching loss budget for thermal management in high-frequency operation. |
| td(off) | 280 ns (typ.) - Turn-off delay time; enables precise timing control in PWM-based three-phase inverters. |
Pinout & Package
STGWA80H65FB uses the TO-247 long leads package-a variant of TO-247 with extended lead length (L = 19.80–20.10 mm) for improved mechanical stability and solder joint reliability in high-vibration environments. The package features isolated tab (collector), with standard 3-pin layout optimized for high-current PCB routing and thermal pad attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; requires 15 V nominal drive (±20 V absolute max); sensitive to ESD (IGES ≤ 250 nA at ±20 V). |
| 2 (C) | Collector | Main high-side power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab; must be isolated from heatsink unless using insulating thermal pad. |
| 3 (E) | Emitter | Power return path and gate reference; low-inductance connection critical to minimize switching oscillation and dV/dt-induced false triggering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench gate + field-stop structure | Enables simultaneous optimization of VCE(sat) and switching speed-reducing trade-off between conduction and dynamic losses. |
| Minimized tail current | Reduces turn-off energy (Eoff) by limiting minority carrier recombination time-critical for <20 kHz hard-switched converters. |
| Tight parameter distribution | Ensures consistent VCE(sat), Qg, and td(off) across production lots-enabling predictable system-level loss modeling and parallel IGBT matching. |
| Slightly positive VCE(sat) tempco | Provides inherent current balancing in parallel configurations-eliminates need for external emitter resistors in multi-device modules. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports high ambient operation (e.g., rooftop PV enclosures) and extends lifetime under thermal cycling stress per JEDEC JESD22-A108. |
Applications
| Photovoltaic String Inverters | Industrial Motor Drives |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: DC-AC conversion stage in single-phase or three-phase transformerless PV inverters operating at 16–20 kHz switching frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side IGBT switch in H-bridge or NPC topology; handles full DC input current (up to 80 A) with low conduction loss and controlled EMI via fast, low-tail switching. Use Value: Achieves >98.5% peak efficiency at 5 kW output due to 1.6 V VCE(sat) and 3.6 mJ total switching energy (Ets) at 25 °C. |
Use Scenario: Output stage of variable-frequency drives for HVAC compressors and pumps, operating at 2–8 kHz with 600 V DC bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main inverter switch; conducts motor phase current during active PWM states and blocks reverse recovery voltage during freewheeling. Use Value: Enables compact heatsink design via 0.32 °C/W RthJC and supports safe paralleling for 15–30 kW systems without current-sharing resistors. |
| Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) | Induction Heating Systems |
|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional DC-AC inverter in online double-conversion UPS units delivering clean 50/60 Hz sine wave output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: IGBT in full-bridge inverter leg; switches at 4–8 kHz with strict dead-time control to prevent shoot-through. Use Value: Tight parameter distribution ensures matched switching behavior across all six switches-minimizing output THD and improving waveform fidelity. |
Use Scenario: Resonant half-bridge inverter in domestic and commercial induction cooktops operating at 20–50 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency switching element in ZVS topology; must sustain rapid di/dt (1270 A/µs) and tolerate high dV/dt during zero-voltage transitions. Use Value: Low Cres (215 pF) and fast tr/tf (52 ns / 31 ns) reduce switching losses and enable reliable ZVS operation up to 50 kHz. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed IGBT applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXGN80N60B3 | Higher VCE(sat) (1.8 V typ. @ 80 A), higher Qg (480 nC), TO-247 package without long leads. | Limited suitability for vibration-prone PV mounting; less optimal for parallel operation due to wider VCE(sat) spread. | Prefer STGWA80H65FB where mechanical robustness and tight parameter matching are required. |
| Infineon IKW80N65ES5 | Lower Eoff (1.2 mJ typ.), but higher RthJC (0.42 °C/W); co-packed anti-parallel diode included. | Better for soft-switching topologies; diode integration simplifies layout but increases cost and reduces flexibility in discrete diode selection. | Select STGWA80H65FB when external ultrafast diode selection (e.g., STTH1608D) is preferred for tailored recovery characteristics. |
Compared with IXGN80N60B3 and IKW80N65ES5, STGWA80H65FB offers superior thermal performance (0.32 vs. ≥0.42 °C/W), tighter VCE(sat) distribution for parallel reliability, and long-lead mechanical stability-making it optimal for outdoor, high-reliability solar and industrial inverter designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for STGWA80H65FB in a 20 kHz PV inverter?
The datasheet specifies td(on) and td(off) tested with RG = 10 Ω. At 20 kHz, gate resistor should be selected to limit dV/dt to ≤50 V/ns and ensure tf ≤ 40 ns. For typical 15 V gate drive, RG = 8–12 Ω balances switching loss and EMI; values >15 Ω increase Eoff by >25% per Figure 15.
Does STGWA80H65FB include an integrated anti-parallel diode?
No. STGWA80H65FB is a discrete IGBT without an integrated diode. External ultrafast diodes-such as STTH1608D or MUR1560-are required for freewheeling paths in bridge topologies. This enables independent optimization of diode recovery characteristics for reduced EMI and system-level efficiency.
Can STGWA80H65FB be safely paralleled with STGW80H65FB?
Yes-both share identical die and electrical specs, differing only in lead length (TO-247 long leads vs. standard TO-247). Thermal and electrical matching is confirmed by identical VCE(sat) tempco and parameter distribution data in Tables 4–6. Ensure symmetrical PCB layout and gate drive to maintain current balance.
What is the minimum gate-emitter voltage required to fully turn on STGWA80H65FB at 80 A?
VGE(th) is specified as 5–7 V (min–max) at IC = 1 mA. For full conduction at IC = 80 A, VGE ≥ 15 V is required per datasheet test conditions (Table 4). Operation below 13 V risks elevated VCE(sat) (>2.0 V) and thermal runaway under load.
