Product details

Overview

IDB15E60 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 15 A fast-switching Emitter Controlled (EmCon) diode in PG-TO263-3 package, optimized for high-frequency hard-switched and soft-switched PFC and output rectification stages. It delivers 1.5 V forward voltage at 15 A and 25 °C, 87 ns reverse recovery time at 25 °C, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature-enabling compact, high-efficiency AC/DC power supplies for server PSUs and telecom rectifiers.

For engineers reviewing the IDB15E60 datasheet, IDB15E60 pinout, IDB15E60 application, or IDB15E60 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery charge (595 nC at 25 °C), softness factor (3.6), thermal resistance (1.8 K/W j–c), and paralleling capability enabled by EmCon technology's uniform forward voltage distribution.

Technical Context

The IDB15E60 employs Infineon's proprietary Emitter Controlled diode architecture, which integrates a controlled emitter region to suppress minority-carrier injection during turn-off-reducing Q_rr and improving softness without external snubbers. Its dynamic behavior is characterized across temperature (25–150 °C) and di/dt (200–1000 A/µs), with trr increasing from 87 ns to 131 ns and Qrr from 595 nC to 1104 nC over that range.

Thermal design is supported by low R_thJC = 1.8 K/W and defined derating curves: continuous forward current drops from 29.2 A at T_C = 25 °C to 19.6 A at T_C = 90 °C, while power dissipation falls from 83.3 W to 47.2 W over the same range-enabling predictable thermal margining in forced-air or convection-cooled layouts.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_RRM	600 V - supports 400 V AC input PFC stages with 50 % safety margin against line surges
I_F (T_C=25°C)	29.2 A - enables high-current single-diode operation without parallel devices in 1 kW designs
V_F @ 15 A, 25°C	1.5 V - reduces conduction loss to ~22.5 W per device at full load, easing thermal management
t_rr @ 25°C	87 ns - limits switching loss and EMI generation in 100–300 kHz PFC converters
Q_rr @ 25°C	595 nC - lowers turn-on loss in synchronous rectifiers and reduces stress on MOSFETs in bridge configurations
S (softness)	3.6 - ensures smooth current zero-crossing, minimizing voltage overshoot and snubber requirements
R_thJC	1.8 K/W - allows direct heatsink mounting with minimal thermal interface resistance for stable 175 °C operation

Pinout & Package

Package: PG-TO263-3 (D²PAK), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, with isolated drain tab and 1.8 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance. Pin 1: NC (no internal connection); Pin 2: Cathode (C); Pin 3: Anode (A). Marking: D15E60.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Pin 1	No Connection	Electrically isolated; must not be soldered to PCB plane or heatsink to avoid parasitic coupling
Pin 2	Cathode	Main current return path; connects to high-side switch node in boost PFC or output rail in LLC secondary
Pin 3	Anode	Current entry point; ties to AC input (PFC) or transformer center-tap (full-wave rectifier)

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Emitter Controlled (EmCon) technology	Enables uniform forward voltage distribution across die area, allowing reliable paralleling without current-sharing resistors
Low Q_rr and soft recovery	Reduces MOSFET turn-on loss and EMI in hard-switched topologies; eliminates need for external RC snubbers in many cases
175 °C maximum junction temperature	Supports operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed telecom cabinets) without derating penalties
PG-TO263-3 package with isolated tab	Permits direct heatsink mounting while maintaining electrical isolation between cathode and heatsink

Applications

Server Power Supply PFC Stage

Telecom Rectifier Output

Use Scenario: Boost PFC stage in 1–2 kW redundant server PSUs operating at 100–300 kHz with 230 V AC input.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery output diode in continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost converter.

Use Value: 87 ns t_rr and 595 nC Q_rr minimize switching losses and reduce MOSFET voltage stress during turn-on, improving efficiency by ≥0.4 % at full load.

Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 48 V telecom rectifiers using phase-shifted full-bridge topology.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier replacement in high-current, high-frequency DC–DC conversion.

Use Value: Soft recovery (S = 3.6) prevents voltage spikes across primary-side switches, enabling tighter layout and reduced filter component count.

Industrial Motor Drive Inverter

EV Onboard Charger PFC

Use Scenario: Freewheeling diode in IGBT-based 3-phase inverter drives for HVAC compressors (10–30 kW).

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Anti-parallel diode providing reactive current path during PWM dead-time intervals.

Use Value: 175 °C T_jmax and robust 60 A IFSM rating ensure reliability under motor stall and overload conditions without thermal runaway.

Use Scenario: Active PFC front-end in 6.6 kW bidirectional OBC for EVs, operating at 65 kHz with wide input voltage range (90–264 V AC).

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage, high-current boost diode handling peak currents up to 45 A IFRM.

Use Value: Low VF (1.5 V) and flat IF–VF curve across temperature reduce conduction loss variance, simplifying thermal design across ambient ranges (−40 to +85 °C).

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast-recovery diode applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STTH1506D	600 V, 15 A, t_rr = 65 ns (typ), Q_rr = 420 nC (typ), VF = 1.75 V (typ) at 15 A	Lower Q_rr but higher VF increases conduction loss by ~3.75 W at 15 A	Preferable where switching loss dominates and heatsink area is constrained
IXYS MUR1560CT	600 V, 15 A dual common-cathode, t_rr = 75 ns (typ), Q_rr = 510 nC (typ), VF = 1.85 V (typ)	Dual configuration enables half-bridge rectification; higher VF raises thermal load	Preferred for dual-diode topologies like center-tapped or full-wave; requires separate anode routing

Compared with STTH1506D and IXYS MUR1560CT, the IDB15E60 offers superior thermal robustness (175 °C vs. 150 °C), lower VF, and EmCon-enabled paralleling-making it optimal for high-reliability, high-temperature, and high-density PFC designs where conduction loss and thermal margin are critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?

The IDB15E60 supports continuous operation up to T_C = 90 °C, delivering 19.6 A of continuous forward current at that temperature. Derating curves confirm linear reduction from 29.2 A at 25 °C to zero at 125 °C case temperature, with absolute maximum junction temperature limited to 175 °C.

Is Pin 1 electrically connected internally?

No, Pin 1 is explicitly designated as "NC" (No Connection) in the datasheet and has no internal bond wire or die connection. It must remain unconnected on the PCB to prevent unintended coupling or mechanical stress on the package lead frame.

How does EmCon technology improve paralleling performance?

EmCon diodes feature tightly controlled forward voltage matching across the die due to integrated emitter control, resulting in <±2 % V_F variation at rated current. This eliminates current hogging during parallel operation, enabling stable multi-device configurations without external balancing resistors or complex layout constraints.

Can IDB15E60 be used in avalanche-rated circuits?

No-the IDB15E60 is not rated for repetitive avalanche operation. Its absolute maximum rating specifies only non-repetitive surge current (I_FSM = 60 A) under defined test conditions. Avalanche energy handling is not characterized or guaranteed; use in circuits subject to voltage transients exceeding V_RRM requires external clamping protection.
