HGTG18N120BND
54A, 1200V, NPT Series N-Channel IGBT
with Anti-Parallel Hyperfast Diode
The HGTG18N120BND is a Non-Punch Through (NPT)
IGBT design. This is a new member of the MOS gated high
voltage switching IGBT family. IGBTs combine the best
features of MOSFETs and bipolar transistors. This device
has the high input impedance of a MOSFET and the low on-
state conduction loss of a bipolar transistor.
The IGBT is ideal for many high voltage switching
applications operating at moderate frequencies where low
conduction losses are essential, such as: AC and DC motor
controls, power supplies and drivers for solenoids, relays
and contactors.
Formerly Developmental Type TA49304.

Handling Precautions for IGBTs
Insulated Gate Bipolar T r ansistors are susceptible to
gate-insulation damage by the ele ctrost a tic di scharge of
energy through the devices. Whe n handling the se devices,
care should be exercised to assure tha t the st atic charg e built
in the handler’s body capaci t ance is not discha rged thro ugh
the device. With proper h andling and appli cation procedures,
however, IGBTs are currently being extensively used in
production by numerous equipment manufacture rs in military,
industrial and consumer applications, with virtually no damage
problems due to electrost atic disch arge. IGBTs can be
handled safely if the following basic pre cautions are t ake n:
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 Volt age Ratin g - 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 avoid ed. 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/(t d(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 defi ned 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
allowable dissip ation (PD) is defined by PD = (TJM - TC)/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.
EON and EOFF are defined in the switching waveforms
shown in Figure 21. EON is the integral of the instant aneous
power loss (ICE x VCE) during turn-on and EOFF is the
integral of the instant aneous power loss (ICE x VCE) during
turn-off. All tail losses are included in the calculation for
EOFF; i.e., the collector current equals zero (ICE = 0).
