HGTG12N60A4D, HGTP12N60A4D,
HGT1S12N60A4DS
600V, SMPS Series N-Channel IGBT with
Anti-Parallel Hyperfast Diode
The HGTG12N60A4D, HGTP12N60A4D and
HGT1S12N60A4DS are MOS gated high voltage switching
devices combining the best features of MOSFETs and
bipolar transistors. These devices have 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 TA49335. The diode
used in anti-parallel is the development type TA49371.
This IGBT is ideal for many high voltage switching
applications operating at high frequencies where low
conduction losses are essential. This device has been
optimized for high frequency switch mode power supplies.
Formerly Developmental Type TA49337.

NOTES:
2. Turn-Off Energy Loss (EOFF) is defined as the integral of the instantaneous power loss starting at the trailing edge of the input pulse and ending
at the point where the collector current equals zero (ICE = 0A). All devices were tested per JEDEC Standard No. 24-1 Method for Measurement
of Power Device Turn-Off Switching Loss. This test method produces the true total Turn-Off Energy Loss.
3. Values for two Turn-On loss conditions are shown for the convenienceof the circuit designer. EON1 is the turn-on loss of the IGBT only. EON2
is the turn-on loss when a typical diode is used in the test circuit and the diode is at the same TJas the IGBT. The diode type is specified in
Figure 24.

Handling Precautions for IGBTs
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors are susceptible to
gate-insulation damage by the electrostatic discharge of
energy through the devices. 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 device. With proper handling and application
procedures, however, IGBTs are currently being extensively
used in production by numerous equipment manufacturers in
military, industrial and consumer applications, with virtually
no damage problems due to electrostatic discharge. IGBTs
can be handled safely 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 layer in the gate region.
6. Gate Termination - The gates of these devices are
essentially capacitors. Circuits that leave the gate open-
circuited or floating should be avoided. These conditions
can result in turn-on of the device due to 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 3) 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 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
and 11. The operating frequency plot (Figure 3) 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 25.
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 b y fMAX2 = (PD - PC)/(EOFF + EON2). 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 3) and
the conduction losses (PC) are approximated by
PC=(V
CE xI
CE)/2.
EON2 and EOFF are defined in the switching waveforms
shown in Figure 25. EON2 is the integral of the
instantaneous power loss (ICE x VCE) during turn-on and
EOFF is the integral of the instantaneous power loss
(ICE xV
CE) during turn-off. All tail losses are included in the
calculation for EOFF; i.e., the collector current equals zero
(ICE = 0).
