Datasheet explanation

2.5.4

Gate-to-emitter leakage current (IGES)

This is the gate-emitter leakage current specified at the recommended gate-emitter voltage

(VGE) with collector-emitter shorted (VCE = 0) and TJ = 25 °C.

2.5.5

Gate-to-emitter threshold voltage (VGE(th))

This is the minimum gate to emitter voltage required to turn on the IGBT at specified IC and

VCE.

VGE(th) limits are indicated in Table 8 and to turn on IGBT a higher voltage than VGE(th) has

to be applied.

The following diagram shows the variation of the normalized threshold versus temperature

Figure 17. Normalized VGE(th) vs junction temperature

The VGE(th) value decreases by a factor of approximately: -2.2 mV/°C.
