IXGH60N60

Overview

The IXYS IXGH60N60 is a single N-channel Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) belonging to the HiPerFAST C2-Class high-speed series. It features a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 600V and supports high-frequency switching operations. The device is designed for applications requiring fast switching speeds, high current handling capability, and square Reverse Bias Safe Operating Area (RBSOA). It utilizes a MOS gate structure for drive simplicity and is typically housed in a TO-247AD package.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix of the part number (e.g., C2, B2) as generic model names often omit critical technical variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as availability fluctuates. Ensure the selected variant matches the required switching speed and thermal characteristics for the target application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high-frequency operation and robust short-circuit withstand capability. Evaluate the thermal resistance and package type against the system's cooling constraints. Compare specific electrical parameters such as saturation voltage and switching energy losses against alternative HiPerFAST classes to optimize efficiency for the specific power level and switching frequency requirements.

Part Context

This component is part of the IXYS HiPerFAST family, which specializes in high-performance power semiconductors. The C2-Class designation indicates a focus on high-speed switching performance compared to standard or medium-speed IGBTs. This lineage targets modern power electronics where minimizing switching losses and improving power density are primary engineering objectives.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the IXGH60N60C2. Other compatible alternatives may include the IXGH50N60B2 or IXGP30N60C2, depending on whether current rating or specific switching characteristics take precedence in the redesign.
