600 V, 12 A Trench Field Stop IGBT — no anti-parallel diode
It is a standard-input device without an integrated anti-parallel diode, which means the designer must add an external freewheeling diode when driving inductive loads such as motor windings or transformer primaries.
Switching losses and gate drive budget
Tested at 400 V, 6 A with a 23 Ω gate resistor and 15 V gate drive, the part switches 90 µJ on and 110 µJ off. The 42 nC total gate charge keeps the drive current modest — at a 20 kHz switching frequency the average gate current is under 1 mA, well within the capability of a standard gate-driver IC. Turn-on delay is 9 ns; turn-off delay is 130 ns at 25 °C.
Conduction loss and thermal headroom
Vce(on) is 2.05 V typical at 15 V gate bias and 6 A collector current. At 12 A continuous rating, the conduction loss at full current is roughly 25 W. The 88 W maximum power dissipation and 175 °C maximum junction temperature provide substantial thermal headroom — a properly heatsunk TO-220-3 can handle the dissipation in a 70 °C ambient with a modest aluminium extrusion.
