Product details
Overview
APTDX600KK170D16AG from Microchip Technology is a 1700V, 600A fast-recovery common-cathode power diode module with aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate, 0.102°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and M6 power terminals-designed for high-power rectification in UPS systems, induction heating inverters, and welding equipment.
For engineers reviewing the APTDX600KK170D16AG datasheet, APTDX600KK170D16AG pinout, APTDX600KK170D16AG application, or APTDX600KK170D16AG equivalent, key selection criteria include peak repetitive reverse voltage (1700 V), forward current rating at TC = 50 °C (600 A), soft-recovery behavior, isolation voltage (4000 V RMS), and direct heatsink-mounting capability enabled by its isolated AlN-based package.
Technical Context
This device integrates two ultra-fast diodes in a common-cathode configuration within a single isolated power module, enabling bidirectional high-current freewheeling or synchronous rectification in three-phase bridge topologies. Its AlN substrate delivers low thermal impedance and supports continuous operation up to TJ = 175 °C.
The APTDX600KK170D16AG exhibits soft reverse recovery (Qrr = 75–187 μC across TJ = 25–175 °C) and low forward voltage (VF = 2.1–2.35 V at IF = 600 A), minimizing switching losses and EMI generation in high-frequency hard-switched converters operating above 10 kHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage, high-current fast diode module applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS IXYS1200N170A3 | 1700 V / 1200 A rated; larger package (220 g); Si-based substrate (RthJC = 0.095 °C/W) | Higher current capacity but requires larger heatsink area and more complex mounting | Preferred when >600 A continuous current or lower thermal resistance is required despite increased size |
| Infineon DD600S17K4 | 1700 V / 600 A; SiC Schottky architecture; VF ≈ 1.7 V; Qrr ≈ 0 μC; RthJC = 0.115 °C/W | No reverse recovery-eliminates snubber needs but requires gate drive redesign for zero-VF control | Best for new designs targeting zero-recovery-loss topologies; not drop-in due to different forward conduction behavior |
Compared with IXYS1200N170A3 and Infineon DD600S17K4, the APTDX600KK170D16AG offers optimal balance of soft-recovery EMI control, proven silicon diode ruggedness, and compact AlN-based thermal performance-making it ideal for retrofitting legacy IGBT inverters without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for APTDX600KK170D16AG at case temperature 50 °C?
The APTDX600KK170D16AG has a rated DC forward current of 600 A at TC = 50 °C, as specified in Table 1-1 of DS00005309A. This rating is constrained by M6 terminal thermal limits-not silicon capability-and drops to 670 A only at TC = 25 °C. Exceeding 600 A at 50 °C risks terminal overheating and solder joint degradation.
Does APTDX600KK170D16AG support direct mounting to a heatsink without insulating hardware?
Yes, APTDX600KK170D16AG features an electrically isolated aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate that enables direct bolting to a grounded heatsink. Its 4000 V RMS isolation rating (VISOL) eliminates the need for mica washers or silicone pads-reducing thermal resistance and assembly complexity while maintaining safety compliance per IEC 62368-1.
What is the reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of APTDX600KK170D16AG at 125 °C junction temperature?
The APTDX600KK170D16AG exhibits a reverse recovery charge of 143 μC at TJ = 125 °C, per Table 1-3 in DS00005309A. This value reflects soft-recovery behavior critical for minimizing voltage overshoot in IGBT-based inverters-especially when paired with di/dt = 9500 A/μs and VR = 900 V test conditions.
Can APTDX600KK170D16AG be used in place of discrete parallel diodes in high-current rectifier designs?
Yes, APTDX600KK170D16AG replaces discrete parallel diode assemblies by integrating two matched fast diodes in a common-cathode configuration with shared thermal path. Its low-inductance M6 terminals and monolithic AlN substrate reduce parasitic inductance by >40% versus discrete layouts-improving switching stability and easing EMI filtering in high-speed rectifiers.
What is the junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) specification for APTDX600KK170D16AG?
The APTDX600KK170D16AG has a maximum junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.102 °C/W, as stated in Table 1-2 of DS00005309A. This low value results directly from the aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate and enables efficient heat transfer to external heatsinks-supporting sustained 600 A operation at TC = 50 °C without forced cooling.
