Product details
Overview
AIMZHN120R040M1TXKSA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 40 mΩ SiC trench MOSFET in PG-TO247-4-U05 package with Kelvin source (4-pin), rated for 55 A DC at TC = 25°C and qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive on-board chargers and high-voltage DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the AIMZHN120R040M1TXKSA1 datasheet, AIMZHN120R040M1TXKSA1 pinout, AIMZHN120R040M1TXKSA1 application, or AIMZHN120R040M1TXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) @ 20 VGS, Crss/Ciss ratio, short-circuit withstand time, thermal resistance Rth(j-c), and gate drive voltage requirements for unipolar operation.
Technical Context
This device implements a Gen1p CoolSiC™ trench architecture with optimized RDS(on) × QG figure-of-merit and a high VGS(th) (3.7–5.1 V) to suppress parasitic turn-on under high dv/dt. Its 4-pin configuration separates power and sense source paths to minimize gate loop inductance and improve switching control fidelity.
The MOSFET features ultra-low output capacitance (Coss = 63 pF) and reverse transfer capacitance (Crss = 3.6 pF), enabling >1 MHz switching in hard-switched topologies. It supports unipolar gate driving (0 V / +20 V) and delivers 1.5 µs short-circuit withstand time at 25°C with 2 Ω external gate resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 1200 V - Enables use in 800 V DC bus systems with 50% voltage margin for transients and derating. |
| RDS(on) | 40 mΩ (typ.) @ Tvj = 25°C, VGS = 20 V - Delivers low conduction loss in high-power HV converters. |
| ID,DC | 55 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports continuous 10–15 kW power stages with appropriate heatsinking. |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.45 K/W (typ.) - Enables efficient thermal coupling to heatsink, critical for automotive under-hood environments. |
| Crss/Ciss | 3.6 pF / 1264 pF - Low ratio (0.0028) ensures immunity to Miller-induced false turn-on during fast switching. |
| tSC | 1.5 µs @ VGS = 20 V, RG,ext = 2 Ω - Allows robust fault handling without external desaturation detection in many OBC designs. |
| Etot | 146 µJ @ 800 V, 20 A - Reduces switching losses by ~35% vs. comparable Si IGBTs, lowering heatsink size and cooling cost. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO247-4-U05 - 4-terminal TO-247 variant with isolated Kelvin source terminal for precise gate control and minimized source inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Drain | Main high-side current path | Connected to HV DC bus; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout. |
| 2 – Source (Power) | Power return path for drain current | Carries high di/dt; requires separate low-impedance connection to power ground plane. |
| 3 – Kelvin Sense | Reference node for gate driver feedback | Provides gate driver with true source potential, eliminating voltage drop error in gate loop. |
| 4 – Gate | Control input for channel modulation | Driven with 0 V / +20 V unipolar signal; sensitive to noise due to high dv/dt immunity design. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sense pin (Kelvin source) | Enables accurate gate-source voltage regulation independent of power source inductance, improving switching consistency and reducing overshoot. |
| Gen1p chip technology | Delivers 15% lower RDS(on) × QG FOM vs. prior CoolSiC™ generation, directly increasing power density in space-constrained OBC modules. |
| High VGS(th) (3.7–5.1 V) | Prevents spurious turn-on during high dv/dt commutation events, eliminating need for negative gate bias in most automotive applications. |
| .XT die attach | Reduces thermal resistance by ~12% vs. standard solder die attach, extending lifetime under 175°C junction operation in auxiliary drives. |
| Minimum creepage distance 7.07 mm | Fulfills reinforced insulation requirements for 1200 V systems per IEC 60664-1, enabling direct use in HV battery interfaces without additional isolation barriers. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3M0040120K | RDS(on) = 40 mΩ (same), but uses 3-pin TO247; no Kelvin source; Crss/Ciss = 0.0035 | Lacks dedicated sense pin → requires careful PCB layout and higher gate drive strength to maintain same EMI performance | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs layout complexity and gate driver optimization needs |
| IXFH40N120X | SiC planar MOSFET; RDS(on) = 42 mΩ; tSC = 1.2 µs; Rth(j-c) = 0.52 K/W; no Kelvin source | Lower short-circuit ruggedness and thermal performance; requires larger heatsink volume in sustained 175°C operation | Suitable for industrial DC/DC where AEC-Q101 qualification is not mandatory and thermal margin is available |
Compared with C3M0040120K and IXFH40N120X, AIMZHN120R040M1TXKSA1 provides superior gate control fidelity via Kelvin source, tighter Crss/Ciss ratio for dv/dt immunity, and lower thermal resistance-making it optimal for automotive-grade, high-density, high-reliability OBC and DC/DC designs.

FAQ
What gate drive voltage is required for reliable operation?
The device is designed for unipolar gate driving with VGS(on) = +20 V and VGS(off) = 0 V. Using 20 V ensures minimum RDS(on) and maximizes short-circuit ruggedness. Driving below 18 V increases conduction loss and reduces tSC; negative gate bias is not required due to its high VGS(th) and low Crss/Ciss ratio.
Does this MOSFET include an integrated body diode, and how does it perform?
Yes, it features a monolithic SiC body diode with VSD = 3.9 V (typ.) at 20 A and 25°C. The diode exhibits low forward recovery charge (Qfr = 179 nC) and fast recovery, enabling zero-voltage switching in LLC and reduced reverse recovery losses versus silicon diodes-critical for high-frequency OBC PFC stages.
Is the Kelvin source pin mandatory for operation?
No-it is not mandatory, but strongly recommended. Without Kelvin connection, source inductance introduces voltage drop that distorts effective VGS, causing slower switching, increased Eon/Eoff, and potential instability. The pin enables precise gate control and is essential to achieve datasheet-rated switching performance and thermal stability in production-grade OBC designs.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature, and how is it validated?
The absolute maximum virtual junction temperature is 175°C, validated across the full operating range per AEC-Q101 stress testing. Thermal characterization confirms Rth(j-c) = 0.45 K/W (typ.), and the device is rated for continuous operation up to 175°C with derated current-enabling use in under-hood environments where ambient temperatures reach 105°C and heatsink temperatures approach 120°C.
