Product details
Overview
IDK02G120C5XTMA1 from Infineon is a 5th Generation CoolSiC™ 1200 V, 2 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in PG-TO263-2 package, featuring zero reverse recovery charge, 14 nC total capacitive charge at 800 V/150°C, and 175°C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or boost diode in high-voltage DC/DC converters and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IDK02G120C5XTMA1 datasheet, IDK02G120C5XTMA1 pinout, IDK02G120C5XTMA1 application, or IDK02G120C5XTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, temperature-independent switching behavior, tight VF distribution (1.4–1.65 V @ 2 A), dv/dt ruggedness of 150 V/ns, and robust surge capability (37 A non-repetitive IF,SM @ 25°C).
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces silicon fast recovery diodes in high-frequency, high-efficiency power stages. Its unipolar conduction eliminates minority-carrier storage, enabling zero Qrr and minimal switching losses across operating temperatures from –55°C to 175°C.
The device uses a planar junction structure with optimized field termination and metallization for stable 1200 V blocking. Its low Rth(j-c) of 1.5–2 K/W supports high-power-density thermal design, while the 14 nC QC enables reduced EMI and gate driver stress in hard-switched topologies like three-level NPC inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - Enables use in 1000 V DC bus systems with 20% margin for transient overvoltage. |
| IF (continuous) | 2.0 A @ TC = 168°C - Specifies rated current under worst-case case-temperature conditions with max duty cycle. |
| VF @ 2A/25°C | 1.4–1.65 V - Low forward drop reduces conduction loss and improves system efficiency at light-to-mid loads. |
| QC | 14 nC @ VR = 800 V, Tvj = 150°C - Quantifies capacitive switching charge affecting turn-on loss and EMI in high-dv/dt circuits. |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.5–2 K/W - Defines thermal path resistance from junction to case, critical for heatsink sizing in compact designs. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 150 V/ns - Ensures reliable operation without spurious turn-on during fast voltage transients in bridge-leg configurations. |
| Tvj,max | 175°C - Allows sustained operation at elevated junction temperatures, supporting derating flexibility in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO263-2 (D0212C5), surface-mount, isolated heatsink pad on backside (cathode-connected). Cathode is pin 1 and backside metal; anode is pin 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 + Backside | Cathode | Primary current return path; electrically connected to heatsink for low-inductance thermal and electrical grounding. |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Input terminal for forward conduction; routed to high-side switch node in boost or buck-boost topologies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery current (Qrr = 0) | Eliminates switching tail current and associated losses, enabling >100 kHz operation without snubbers. |
| Tight VF distribution | ±5% typical spread at 2 A ensures predictable conduction loss matching in parallel configurations. |
| Temperature-independent switching | VF and QC remain stable from –55°C to 175°C, simplifying thermal compensation in wide-temperature-range systems. |
| Specified dv/dt ruggedness | 150 V/ns rating validated per JEDEC standards, allowing direct replacement in Si diode layouts without gate shielding redesign. |
| Extended surge capability | 37 A non-repetitive IF,SM @ 25°C supports motor-start and grid-fault transients in industrial UPS and solar inverters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D02065E (Wolfspeed) | 650 V rating, 2 A, TO-220AC package, Rth(j-c) = 2.5 K/W | Limited to ≤700 V DC bus; requires larger heatsink due to higher thermal resistance | Select only for lower-voltage, cost-sensitive designs where 1200 V margin is unnecessary. |
| STPSC2H12D (STMicroelectronics) | 1200 V, 2 A, TO-220AC package, VF = 1.7 V @ 2 A/25°C, QC = 16 nC | Higher VF and QC increase conduction and switching losses in high-frequency PFC stages | Preferable only when TO-220 mechanical fit is mandatory and thermal margin permits higher VF penalty. |
Compared with C3D02065E and STPSC2H12D, IDK02G120C5XTMA1 delivers superior voltage rating headroom, lower thermal resistance, and tighter VF consistency-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 1200 V systems requiring long-term reliability under surge and thermal stress.

FAQ
Is IDK02G120C5XTMA1 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. IDK02G120C5XTMA1 features Pb-free lead plating and complies fully with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL1 reflow requirements with a peak soldering temperature of 260°C, ensuring compatibility with standard lead-free assembly processes.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies continuous forward current IF = 2.0 A at TC = 168°C with D = 1 (100% duty cycle). Operation above this case temperature exceeds rated thermal limits and risks accelerated degradation. For reliable long-term use, maintain TC ≤ 168°C under full load, verified via thermal simulation or thermocouple measurement at the package center tab.
Can IDK02G120C5XTMA1 be paralleled with identical units?
Yes, but with design precautions. Tight VF distribution (±5% typ.) supports current sharing; however, layout symmetry, matched trace inductance, and thermal coupling must be ensured. Derate total current by ≥15% versus sum of individual ratings, and verify sharing under worst-case thermal gradients using IR imaging during full-load testing.
Does this diode require a gate resistor or snubber network?
No. As a Schottky diode with no minority carriers, IDK02G120C5XTMA1 has no gate and exhibits no reverse recovery. Snubbers are unnecessary for Qrr-related ringing. However, a small RC snubber (e.g., 100 Ω + 100 pF) may still be used across anode–cathode to damp high-frequency parasitic oscillations caused by PCB layout inductance and stray capacitance.
