HGTG30N60C3D
63A, 600V, UFS Series N-Channel IGBT
with Anti-Parallel Hyperfast Diodes
The HGTG30N60C3D is a MOS gated high voltage
switching device combining the best features of MOSFETs
and bipolar transistors. The device has the high input
impedance of a MOSFET and the low on-state conduction
loss of a bipolar transistor. The much lower on-state voltage
drop varies only moderately between 25oC and 150oC. The
IGBT used is the development type TA49051. The diode
used in anti-parallel with the IGBT is the development type
TA49053.
The IGBT is ideal for many high voltage switching applications
operating at moderate frequencies where lo w conduction
losses are essential.
Formerly Developmental Type TA49014.

Handling Precautions for IGBTs
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors are susceptib le to gate-
insulation damage by the electrostatic discharge of energy
through the de vices . When handling these devices, care
should be exercised to assure that the static charge built in the
handler’s body capacitance is not discharged through the
de vice . With proper handling and application procedures,
however, IGBTs are currently being extensively used in
production by n umerous equipment man ufacturers in military,
industrial and consumer applications, with virtually no
damage problems due to electrostatic discharge . IGBTs can
be handled saf ely if the following basic precautions are taken:
1. Prior to assembly into a circuit, all leads should be kept
shorted together either by the use of metal shorting
springs or by the insertion into conductive material such
as “ECCOSORBD LD26” or equivalent.
2. When devices are removed by hand from their carriers,
the hand being used should be grounded by any suitable
means - for example, with a metallic wristband.
3. Tips of soldering irons should be grounded.
4. Devices should never be inserted into or removed from
circuits with power on.
5. Gate Voltage Rating - Never exceed the gate-voltage
rating of VGEM. Exceeding the rated VGE can result in
permanent damage to the oxide la yer in the gate region.
6. Gate Termination - The gates of these devices are
essentially capacitors. Circuits that lea ve the gate
open-circuited or floating should be avoided. These
conditionscanresult inturn-onofthe devicedueto voltage
buildup on the input capacitor due to leakage currents or
pickup.
7. Gate Protection - These devices do not have an internal
monolithic zener diode from gate to emitter. If gate
protection is required an external zener is recommended.
Operating Frequency Information
Operating frequency information for a typical device (Figure 13)
is presented as a guide for estimating device performance
for a specific application. Other typical frequency vs collector
current (ICE) plots are possible using the information shown
for a typical unit in Figures 4, 7, 8, 11 and 12. The operating
frequency plot (Figure 13) of a typical device shows fMAX1 or
fMAX2 whichever is smaller at each point. The information is
based on measurements of a typical device and is bounded
by the maximum rated junction temperature.
fMAX1 is defined by fMAX1 = 0.05/(tD(OFF)I + tD(ON)I).
Deadtime (the denominator) has been arbitrarily held to 10%
of the on-state time for a 50% duty factor. Other definitions
are possible. tD(OFF)I and tD(ON)I are defined in Figure 21.
Device turn-off delay can establish an additional frequency
limiting condition for an application other than TJM. tD(OFF)I
is important when controlling output ripple under a lightly
loaded condition.
fMAX2 is defined by fMAX2 = (PD - PC)/(EOFF + EON). The
allow ab le dissipation (PD) is defined by PD=(T
JM -T
C)/RθJC.
The sum of device switching and conduction losses must
not exceed PD. A 50% duty factor was used (Figure 13)
and the conduction losses (PC) are approximated by
PC=(V
CE xI
CE)/2.
EON and EOFF are defined in the switching waveforms
shown in Figure 21. EON is the integral of the instantaneous
power loss (ICE x VCE) during turn-on and EOFF is the
integral of the instantaneous power loss during turn-off. All
tail losses are included in the calculation for EOFF; i.e. the
collector current equals zero (ICE = 0).
