PCB layout tips
Distance between high and low voltage components: It’s strongly recommended to place the components tied
to the floating voltage pins (VB and VS) near the respective high voltage portions of the device. Please see the
Case Outline information in this datasheet for the details.
Ground Plane: In order to minimize noise coulping, the ground plane should not be placed under or near the high
voltage floating side.
Gate Drive Loops: Current loops behave like antennas and are able to receive and transmit EM noise (see Figure
25). In order to reduce the EM coulping and improve the power switch turn on/off performance, the gate drive
loops must be reduced as much as possible. Moreover, current can be injected inside the gate drive loop via the
IGBT collector-to-gate parasitic capacitance. The parasitic auto-inductance of the gate loop contributes to
developing a voltage across the gate-emitter, thus increasing the possibility of a self turn-on effect.

Supply Capacitor: It is recommended to place a bypass capacitor (CIN) between the VCC and COM pins. A ceramic
1μF ceramic capacitor is suitable for most applications. This component should be placed as close as possible
to the pins in order to reduce parasitic elements.
Routing and Placement: Power stage PCB parasitic elements can contribute to large negative voltage transients
at the switch node; it is recommended to limit the phase voltage negative transients. In order to avoid such
conditions, it is recommended to 1) minimize the high-side emitter to low-side collector distance, and 2)
minimize the low-side emitter to negative bus rail stray inductance. However, where negative VS spikes remain
excessive, further steps may be taken to reduce the spike. This includes placing a resistor (5 Ω or less) between
the VS pin and the switch node (see Figure 26 - A), and in some cases using a clamping diode between COM and
VS (see Figure 26 - B). See DT04-4 at www.infineon.com for more detailed explanations.
