Product details
Overview
IDB15E60ATMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 15 A fast-switching Emitter Controlled (EmCon) diode in PG-TO263-3 package, featuring 1.5 V forward voltage at 15 A/25°C, 87 ns reverse recovery time at 25°C, and 175°C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or snubber diode in industrial SMPS, solar inverters, and motor drives requiring soft switching and low Qrr.
For engineers reviewing the IDB15E60ATMA1 datasheet, IDB15E60ATMA1 pinout, IDB15E60ATMA1 application, or IDB15E60ATMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery softness factor (S = 3.6–4.5), low reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 595–1104 nC), thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.8 K/W), and paralleling capability enabled by EmCon technology.
Technical Context
This EmCon diode employs an integrated emitter-controlled structure to suppress minority-carrier injection during turn-off, enabling controlled, soft reverse recovery with minimal voltage overshoot. Its design eliminates the need for external snubbers in hard-switched topologies like LLC resonant converters and phase-shifted full-bridge circuits.
Unlike conventional fast recovery diodes, it delivers stable trr and Qrr across temperature (trr = 87–131 ns from 25°C to 150°C) and di/dt (up to 1000 A/µs), while maintaining low forward conduction loss (VF = 1.5 V typ. @ 15 A, 25°C) and high surge robustness (IFSM = 60 A).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports DC bus voltages up to 400 V nominal with 50% safety margin in industrial PFC and inverter stages |
| IF (TC=25°C) | 29.2 A - continuous forward current rating at case temperature 25°C, derates to 19.6 A at 90°C |
| VF @ 15 A, 25°C | 1.5 V - reduces conduction loss by ~15% vs. standard FRD counterparts, lowering thermal stress in high-duty-cycle operation |
| trr @ 25°C | 87 ns - enables >100 kHz switching in hard-switched converters without excessive EMI or voltage spikes |
| Qrr @ 25°C | 595 nC - minimizes switching loss in synchronous rectification and active clamp circuits |
| RthJC | 1.8 K/W - allows direct heatsink mounting with predictable thermal path for compact power module integration |
| Tjmax | 175 °C - supports operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed motor drives, solar enclosures) |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO263-3 (D²PAK), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines to avoid parasitic coupling |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (C) | Main current output terminal; electrically tied to exposed metal tab for low-inductance, high-current return path |
| Pin 3 | Anode (A) | Current input terminal; isolated from tab; requires proper trace width and copper area for 15 A continuous routing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Emitter Controlled (EmCon) architecture | Enables precise control of carrier lifetime without lifetime-killing dopants, preserving long-term reliability and stable Qrr over temperature |
| Soft reverse recovery (S ≥ 3.6) | Reduces EMI generation and voltage ringing during commutation, eliminating need for RC snubbers in many 3–10 kW designs |
| Low RthJC (1.8 K/W) | Supports >20 W dissipation at TC = 90°C, enabling smaller heatsinks in space-constrained industrial inverters |
| Easy paralleling capability | Matched dynamic characteristics and positive VF temperature coefficient allow direct parallel connection without current-sharing resistors |
Applications
| Solar String Inverter DC-Link | Industrial SMPS Output Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Freewheeling path in boost PFC stage handling 800 V DC link with 15 A average current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery diode providing low-loss, soft-commutating return path during MOSFET turn-on. Use Value: Qrr = 595 nC and trr = 87 ns reduce switching loss by 32% vs. standard FRD, improving system efficiency from 96.1% to 96.7% at full load. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 3 kW telecom rectifier operating at 100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current output diode managing 15 A continuous conduction mode (CCM) with minimal forward drop. Use Value: VF = 1.5 V at 15 A lowers conduction loss by 0.45 W per device vs. 1.7 V alternative, reducing thermal footprint by 12°C at TC = 85°C. |
| Motor Drive Braking Circuit | UPS Inverter Bridge Clamp |
Use Scenario: Regenerative braking path in 7.5 kW servo drive with 400 V DC bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Snubberless freewheeling diode absorbing inductive energy during IGBT turn-off. Use Value: Soft recovery (S = 3.6) limits voltage overshoot to <15 V above VRRM, avoiding additional clamping components and PCB area. | Use Scenario: Active clamp diode in three-phase UPS inverter handling bidirectional 12 kVA power flow. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-Qrr clamp path enabling zero-voltage switching (ZVS) across full load range. Use Value: Stable Qrr variation (<±8% from 25°C to 150°C) ensures consistent ZVS timing margin, eliminating risk of hard-switching failure at elevated temperatures. |
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 | Higher VF (1.75 V @ 15 A), slower trr (110 ns), no EmCon softness control (S ≈ 1.2) | Limited suitability for snubberless designs; requires larger heatsink and snubber network in >50 kHz operation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs EMI and efficiency requirements in non-critical 30–60 kHz applications |
| IXYS MBR1560CT | Schottky construction - zero Qrr, but VRRM limited to 60 V; not rated for 600 V systems | Only viable in low-voltage secondary-side rectification; incompatible with primary-side 400–800 V DC links | Reject for any 600 V application; consider only for <100 V output stages where ultra-low VF dominates |
Compared with STTH1506D and MBR1560CT, IDB15E60ATMA1 uniquely balances 600 V blocking, soft recovery, and low VF-enabling snubberless, high-frequency, high-efficiency operation where Schottky voltage limits or FRD EMI penalties are unacceptable.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 1 (NC) on IDB15E60ATMA1?
Pin 1 is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating or be tied to ground per Infineon's layout recommendations to prevent unintended coupling into the cathode-anode path. It is not a functional terminal and carries no current or signal role in circuit operation.
Can IDB15E60ATMA1 be used in parallel without current-sharing resistors?
Yes-its EmCon architecture provides a positive temperature coefficient for forward voltage and tightly matched dynamic parameters (trr, Qrr, S), enabling stable current sharing across multiple devices under thermal and electrical stress without external balancing components.
How does the reverse recovery softness factor (S) impact EMI performance?
A higher S value (3.6–4.5) indicates gradual, controlled current decay during turn-off, reducing di/dt-induced voltage spikes and high-frequency ringing. This directly lowers conducted and radiated EMI, often eliminating the need for ferrite beads or RC snubbers in Class B EMC-compliant designs.
Is IDB15E60ATMA1 suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
No-while rated for Tj = 175°C, Infineon explicitly restricts use in automotive, aviation, or aerospace systems without written approval. Its qualification is industrial-grade (JEDEC JESD47), not AEC-Q101, and lacks automotive-specific reliability testing and traceability documentation.
