Product Brief TO-247 4pin Kelvin Emitter Configuration with TRENCHSTOP™ 5 IGBTs To further enhance the best in class performance of the TRENCHSTOP™ 5 IGBT technology, Infineon offers the technology in a high power package with an extra Kelvin emitter pin. The TO-247 4pin provides ultra-low inductance to the gate-emitter control loop and brings TRENCHSTOP™ 5 IGBT to the next level of best in class switching performance. The standard TO-247 package body has been taken and an extra, 4th pin, has been added to enable the Kelvin emitter configuration. G C C E Comparing against the standard TO-247, the pin configuration has been changed to ensure the same creepage distance between collector and emitter. E E 1 2G Features Extremely low control inductance loop Emitter pin for driver feedback Same creepage distance of collector emitter as standard TO-247 package 20% reduction in total switching losses compared to TO-247 package using same technology Benefits System efficiency improvement compared to standard TO-247 Benefit increase at high current conditions IGBTs operates under lower junction temperature Much less power dissipation under overcurrent conditions Standard TO-247 Kelvin Emitter TO-247 4pin C VDRV Collector PWM RG di/dt Gate Emitter IG VLe E2 E1 To connect the TO-247 4pin package, the Kelvin emitter pin is to be used as the reference ground for the driver IC. This has the advantage of removing the emitter inductance from the feedback loop to the driver IC, thus enabling faster turn-on/-off.
