Product details
Overview
IDK04G65C5XTMA2 from Infineon Technologies is a 650 V, 4 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in TO-263-2 (PG-TO263-2) package, designed for high-frequency, high-efficiency power conversion. It delivers zero reverse recovery charge, temperature-independent switching, 1.5–2.2 V forward voltage at 4 A, and 7 nC capacitive charge at 400 V, enabling PFC and solar inverter designs operating up to 175 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the IDK04G65C5XTMA2 datasheet, IDK04G65C5XTMA2 pinout, IDK04G65C5XTMA2 application, or IDK04G65C5XTMA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 650 V VRRM rating, 38 A surge current capability at 25 °C, 1.9 K/W typical RthJC, and compatibility with CoolMOS™ 650 V gate drivers in hard-switched topologies.
Technical Context
This 5th-generation thinQ!™ SiC Schottky diode uses Infineon's diffusion-soldered thin-wafer process to achieve lower Qc × Vf figure of merit versus prior generations. Its unipolar conduction eliminates minority-carrier storage, enabling operation up to 175 °C with stable VF and IR across temperature.
The device exhibits 130 pF capacitance at 1 V, dropping to 16 pF at 600 V, and supports dv/dt ruggedness up to 100 V/ns. Its 7.3 A²s i²t rating at 25 °C enables robust surge handling in UPS and SMPS input rectification stages without snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 650 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; ensures reliable blocking in 400 V DC-link PFC and solar string inverters. |
| IF (TC < 150°C) | 4 A - Continuous forward current at case temperature below 150 °C; defines thermal derating boundary for PCB layout. |
| VF @ 4 A, 25°C | 1.5–1.8 V - Forward voltage drop; directly impacts conduction loss and heatsink sizing in high-frequency converters. |
| Qc @ 400 V | 7 nC - Total capacitive charge; determines turn-off losses and EMI in hard-switched totem-pole PFC stages. |
| RthJC | 1.9 K/W typ - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables accurate junction temperature estimation using measured case temperature. |
| IR @ 650 V, 150°C | 0.8–500 µA - Reverse leakage current; remains low enough to avoid thermal runaway in high-temperature industrial environments. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 100 V/ns - Maximum sustainable voltage transient rate; supports reliable operation in fast-switching GaN/CoolMOS™ half-bridges. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO263-2 (TO-263-2), surface-mount, single-diode configuration with isolated cathode tab. Thermal pad on underside requires full-solder coverage for optimal RthJC performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode | Main current return path; electrically and thermally connected to exposed metal tab - must be soldered to ≥6 cm² copper area. |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Forward current entry point; connects to switching node in boost PFC or inverter leg; no internal gate control. |
| Pin 3 | n.a. | No connection - mechanical placeholder only; not internally bonded or electrically active. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 0) | Eliminates switching tail current and associated losses - enables >200 kHz operation without efficiency penalty. |
| Temperature-stable VF and IR | VF increases only ~0.4 V from 25 °C to 150 °C at 4 A; IR stays sub-500 µA at 650 V/150 °C - simplifies thermal design. |
| High surge current rating (38 A, 10 ms) | Withstands inrush and fault currents in AC/DC front-ends without derating - reduces need for parallel devices. |
| RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating | Meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1); supports lead-free reflow without delamination risk. |
| Optimized for 650 V CoolMOS™ pairing | Qc × Vf figure of merit matched to Infineon's 650 V superjunction MOSFETs - ensures balanced loss distribution in bridge legs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D04065E (Wolfspeed) | Same 650 V/4 A rating; 1.7 V VF @ 4 A/25°C (0.2 V higher); 10 nC Qc @ 400 V (43% higher). | Higher Qc increases turn-off loss in >150 kHz PFC; requires larger gate driver current for same dv/dt immunity. | Prefer IDK04G65C5XTMA2 where EMI or thermal margin is constrained; C3D04065E acceptable if cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency gain. |
| STPSC4H065 (STMicroelectronics) | 650 V/4 A; 1.65 V VF @ 4 A/25°C; 8.5 nC Qc @ 400 V; RthJC = 2.5 K/W (32% higher than Infineon). | Higher thermal resistance limits power density in space-constrained designs; lower dv/dt rating (75 V/ns) restricts use with fastest CoolMOS™ variants. | Select IDK04G65C5XTMA2 for thermal-limited layouts or ultra-fast switching; STPSC4H065 suitable for cost-optimized 100 kHz designs with ample cooling. |
Compared with C3D04065E and STPSC4H065, IDK04G65C5XTMA2 offers the lowest combined Qc × Vf (10.5 nC·V), best thermal resistance (1.9 K/W), and highest dv/dt ruggedness (100 V/ns), making it optimal for high-density, high-frequency PFC and solar inverter applications demanding minimal conduction + switching loss trade-offs.

FAQ
Is IDK04G65C5XTMA2 suitable for paralleling multiple devices?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of forward voltage (VF increases with junction temperature) enables natural current sharing. Layout symmetry and matched trace inductance are required; Infineon recommends ≤5 nH per device loop inductance for stable 2× parallel operation at 4 A total current.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal performance?
Infineon specifies 6 cm² minimum copper area (70 µm thick) on the cathode pad for RthJA = 35 K/W. For optimal RthJC, the entire exposed thermal pad must be soldered with void-free coverage - IPC-A-610 Class 2 void limit applies (≤25% total void area).
Does IDK04G65C5XTMA2 require a gate resistor or snubber network?
No - as a Schottky diode, it has no gate terminal and requires no external gate resistor. Snubbers are unnecessary due to zero reverse recovery and 100 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness; however, a small RC snubber (10 Ω + 100 pF) may reduce high-frequency ringing in layouts with >20 nH stray inductance.
Can IDK04G65C5XTMA2 operate reliably at 175 °C junction temperature?
Yes - its rated Tj,max is 175 °C, and all electrical parameters (VF, IR, Qc) are characterized up to this temperature. Derating is required: IF drops to 2.2 A at TC = 150 °C, and RthJC increases to 3.1 K/W max per datasheet Table 4 - thermal design must ensure Tj ≤ 175 °C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation.
