PD - 91612C

IRG4PH40U
INSULATED GATE BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR Ultra Fast Speed IGBT

Features C
• UltraFast: Optimized for high operating
frequencies up to 40 kHz in hard switching, VCES = 1200V
>200 kHz in resonant mode
• New IGBT design provides tighter
G VCE(on) typ. = 2.43V
parameter distribution and higher efficiency than
previous generations
• Optimized for power conversion; SMPS, UPS E @VGE = 15V, IC = 21A
and welding n-channel
• Industry standard TO-247AC package

Benefits
• Higher switching frequency capability than
competitive IGBTs
• Highest efficiency available
• Much lower conduction losses than MOSFETs
• More efficient than short circuit rated IGBTs
