IXGT32N120A3-TRL

Overview

The IXGT32N120A3-TRL is a single N-channel Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) from the IXYS GenX3 series, manufactured using silicon technology. It features a D3PAK-3 (TO-268-3) surface-mount package designed for high-power applications. Key electrical specifications include a maximum collector-emitter voltage (VCEO) of 1.2 kV and a continuous collector current (Ic) of 75 A at 25°C. The device exhibits a typical collector-emitter saturation voltage of 3.3 V and supports a power dissipation (Pd) of 350 W. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, with a maximum junction temperature capability up to 175°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TRL' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets or manufacturer declarations prior to integration. Ensure that the procurement channel provides traceability documentation consistent with IXYS quality standards. Check for any recent lifecycle notices regarding obsolescence or alternative recommendations directly from the manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring 1.2 kV blocking voltage and approximately 75 A continuous current in a surface-mount form factor. Compare the 3.3 V saturation voltage against thermal management capabilities to ensure junction temperatures remain within limits. Consider the gate charge parameters for driver selection to optimize switching speeds. Evaluate the D3PAK-3 footprint against PCB layout constraints and thermal pad requirements.

Part Context

This IGBT belongs to the IXYS GenX3 family, which employs trench gate technology to reduce on-state voltage drop while maintaining fast switching characteristics. The GenX3 series is engineered for efficiency in medium-to-high power applications. The IXGT32N120A3 variant specifically targets 1200V class systems, offering a balance between conduction loss and switching speed suitable for modern power electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct cross-replacement requires matching 1.2 kV rating, ~75 A current, and TO-268-3 package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values. Consult IXYS application notes for recommended upgrades within the GenX3 portfolio. No official substitute part numbers are publicly confirmed for this specific reel-packaged variant.
