IXGH32N100A3

Overview

The IXYS IXGH32N100A3 is a GenX3 A3-Class Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) designed for high-voltage power switching applications. It features a 1000V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and supports a continuous collector current of 32A at 25°C, with a maximum saturated collector-emitter voltage of 3.5V. The device utilizes advanced trench gate technology to achieve low conduction losses while maintaining fast switching speeds, characterized by a typical fall time of 140ns. Packaged in a TO-247AD-3 through-hole housing, it offers robust thermal performance suitable for industrial inverters and motor drives.

Feature Summary

• GenX3 A3-Class trench gate technology for optimized switching and conduction efficiency
• Low saturated collector-emitter voltage to minimize power dissipation
• High short-circuit withstand capability for enhanced system reliability
• Soft recovery integrated anti-parallel diode reducing switching noise

Applications

• Industrial motor drives and servo amplifiers
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• High-frequency welding inverters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A3' during procurement to ensure the component matches the GenX3 A3-Class specification. Confirm the package type is TO-247AD-3 and check RoHS compliance status against the latest manufacturer datasheet before integration into designs requiring environmental certifications.

Selection Notes

Select this IGBT when a 1000V rating is required with moderate current handling up to 32A. Compare the 3.5V Vce(sat) and 140ns fall time against alternative devices to balance conduction losses with switching frequency requirements. Ensure the thermal management solution can handle the specified power dissipation limits under worst-case operating conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IXYS GenX3 family, representing an evolution in trench gate IGBT technology. It succeeds earlier generations by offering improved short-circuit ruggedness and lower switching losses. The A3 designation specifically denotes the inclusion of a soft-recovery diode, distinguishing it from standard variants within the broader IXGH series portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the IXGH32N100B3 or IXGH32N100C3, provided the switching speed and diode characteristics align with the circuit design. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting with other manufacturers' 1000V 32A TO-247 IGBTs.
