Product details
Overview
IDH16G65C6XKSA1 from Infineon is a 650 V, 16 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in PG-TO220-2 package, optimized for high-frequency PFC and solar inverter boost stages. It delivers VF = 1.25 V at 16 A/25 °C, Qc = 21.5 nC at 400 V, and dv/dt ruggedness of 150 V/ns, enabling reduced conduction and switching losses in hard-switched topologies.
For engineers reviewing the IDH16G65C6XKSA1 datasheet, IDH16G65C6XKSA1 pinout, IDH16G65C6XKSA1 application, or IDH16G65C6XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage consistency across temperature, capacitive charge at high dv/dt, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.9–1.6 K/W), and industrial-grade JEDEC qualification for 175 °C junction operation.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces silicon fast recovery diodes in high-efficiency AC-DC and DC-DC converters. Its zero reverse recovery charge eliminates turn-off losses and EMI associated with minority-carrier devices, while its low Qc × VF figure of merit directly improves system efficiency under partial-load conditions.
The device uses Infineon's 6th-generation CoolSiC™ process with a novel Schottky metal system and is specifically co-designed to pair with CoolMOS™ 7 600–650 V MOSFETs in interleaved PFC and two-level inverter stages, supporting >100 kHz switching without snubbers.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for continuous operation?
The IDH16G65C6XKSA1 is qualified for continuous operation up to Tj = 175 °C per JEDEC JESD22-A108 qualification testing. Its RthJC of 0.9–1.6 K/W and 16 A rating at TC ≤ 135 °C define the thermal boundary for sustained use in industrial environments without derating.
Is the TO-220-2 case electrically isolated from the anode or cathode?
The PG-TO220-2 package has the case internally connected to the cathode terminal (Pin 1). The anode (Pin 2) is electrically isolated from the case. Mounting requires electrical isolation unless the cathode node is referenced to chassis ground.
Does this diode require a gate resistor or external snubber network?
No. As a majority-carrier Schottky diode, IDH16G65C6XKSA1 has zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 0) and does not require snubbers or gate resistors. Its 150 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness ensures reliable operation in hard-switched converters without additional protection components.
How does the forward voltage change with temperature?
VF increases linearly with junction temperature: VF = 1.25 V @ 25 °C, 1.5 V @ 150 °C. This positive temperature coefficient supports inherent current sharing in parallel configurations and simplifies thermal management in multi-diode arrays.
