650 V Trench Field Stop IGBT in a surface-mount D²Pak
The Infineon IKB30N65ES5ATMA1 is a 650 V, 62 A Trench Field Stop IGBT from the TrenchStop™ 5 series, housed in a PG-TO263-3 (D²Pak) surface-mount package. It is designed for hard-switching applications such as motor drives, power factor correction (PFC) circuits, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) where a 400 V DC bus is typical and the 650 V breakdown provides derating margin.
Conduction and switching loss at the test condition
At the test condition of 400 V bus, 30 A collector current, 13 Ω gate resistor, and 15 V gate drive, the IKB30N65ES5ATMA1 exhibits a typical Vce(on) of 1.7 V. This on-state voltage sets the conduction loss floor for a given duty cycle and load current. Switching energy is specified at 560 µJ for turn-on and 320 µJ for turn-off under the same test condition. These values, combined with the 17 ns turn-on delay and 124 ns turn-off delay at 25°C, allow the designer to estimate total switching loss at the target PWM frequency. Total gate charge is 70 nC, which is moderate for a 62 A rated IGBT. A standard gate-driver IC with a few amperes of peak output current can drive this part into the tens of kilohertz range without excessive driver dissipation.
Thermal headroom and package reality
The junction temperature range extends from -40°C to 175°C, giving thermal margin in high-ambient industrial or automotive environments. Maximum power dissipation is 188 W, but the achievable continuous dissipation depends on the PCB copper area and thermal vias under the D²Pak tab. The PG-TO263-3 (D²Pak) package is a surface-mount power package with an exposed drain tab. The 2-lead-plus-tab footprint is the same as a standard D²Pak; the third lead is the tab itself.
