IRG4PC50FD
INSULATED GATE BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR WITH Fast CoPack IGBT
ULTRAFAST SOFT RECOVERY DIODE
Features C

• Fast: Optimized for medium operating VCES = 600V

frequencies ( 1-5 kHz in hard switching, >20
kHz in resonant mode).
• Generation 4 IGBT design provides tighter VCE(on) typ. = 1.45V
G
parameter distribution and higher efficiency than
Generation 3 @VGE = 15V, IC = 39A
E
• IGBT co-packaged with HEXFREDTM ultrafast,
ultra-soft-recovery anti-parallel diodes for use in n-cha nn el
bridge configurations
• Industry standard TO-247AC package
Benefits
• Generation -4 IGBT's offer highest efficiencies
available
• IGBT's optimized for specific application conditions
• HEXFRED diodes optimized for performance with
IGBT's . Minimized recovery characteristics require
less/no snubbing
• Designed to be a "drop-in" replacement for equivalent
industry-standard Generation 3 IR IGBT's TO-247AC
