IXGP20N60B

Overview

The IXGP20N60B is a HiPerFAST IGBT manufactured by IXYS, designed for medium-speed switching applications. It features a 600 V collector-emitter breakdown voltage and a continuous collector current of 40 A at 25°C. The device utilizes the HDMOSTM process to achieve low saturation voltage, typically 1.7 V, and a fast turn-off time of approximately 100 ns. Packaged in standard JEDEC TO-268 surface-mount or TO-247 AD through-hole configurations, it supports high power density designs. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, making it suitable for robust industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• HiPerFAST technology with HDMOSTM process for optimized performance
• Low saturation voltage and fast switching characteristics
• Standard international package options including surface mount and through-hole

Applications

• AC motor speed control
• DC servo and robot drives
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• Switched-mode and resonant-mode power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., BD1) against the required configuration, as standard variants may differ from diode-integrated versions. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any recent product change notices regarding packaging or material composition updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 600V blocking capability with moderate current handling up to 40A. Ensure the thermal management design accommodates the specified power dissipation limits. Compare switching energy losses against alternative devices if operating frequencies exceed typical ranges for this medium-speed class.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IXYS HiPerFAST family, which integrates advanced trench gate technologies. The series is engineered to balance conduction losses and switching speeds, targeting efficiency improvements in power conversion systems. It represents a mature generation of IGBTs widely used in established industrial power electronics architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 20N60BD1 variant if an integrated freewheeling diode is required. Cross-reference pinouts and thermal resistance values when replacing with equivalent parts from other manufacturers to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
