Product details
Overview
IDK08G120C5XTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 5th-generation CoolSiC™ 1200 V, 8 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in PG-TO263-2 package, designed as a high-efficiency freewheeling/anti-parallel diode in hard-switched and resonant PFC and inverter stages. It delivers 1.65 V forward voltage at 8 A and 25°C, zero reverse recovery charge, 28 nC total capacitive charge at 800 V/150°C, and operates up to 175°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the IDK08G120C5XTMA1 datasheet, IDK08G120C5XTMA1 pinout, IDK08G120C5XTMA1 application, or IDK08G120C5XTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dv/dt ruggedness (150 V/ns), surge current capability (70 A non-repetitive, 10 µs), thermal resistance (0.92 K/W typ. j–c), tight VF distribution, and RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces silicon fast recovery diodes in high-voltage DC-link and boost-stage applications where zero Qrr eliminates switching losses in IGBT or MOSFET-based converters. Its temperature-independent switching behavior and low VF drift (1.95 V max at 8 A/150°C) enable stable performance across industrial ambient ranges.
The device features intrinsic avalanche robustness, specified dv/dt ruggedness up to 150 V/ns under VR ramp conditions, and validated surge capability per JEDEC JESD47 - supporting reliable operation during line transients and motor regeneration events in solar inverters and UPS systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - supports DC-link voltages up to 1000 V bus with 20% margin for transient overvoltage in solar central inverters. |
| IF (TC=161°C) | 8.0 A - continuous conduction rating at maximum case temperature, enabling compact heatsink design in sealed industrial enclosures. |
| VF @ 8A/25°C | 1.65 V - reduces conduction loss by ~35% vs. comparable Si FRD, directly improving system efficiency at light-to-mid load. |
| QC @ 800V/150°C | 28 nC - determines turn-on loss of paired switch; enables >100 kHz operation without excessive EMI or gate drive stress. |
| Rth(j–c) | 0.92 K/W (typ.) - allows direct mounting to copper baseplate; enables thermal design with <1.2°C/W total path to ambient in forced-air systems. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 150 V/ns - withstands steep voltage transients in hard-switched topologies without false turn-on or localized failure. |
| Tvj,max | 175°C - extends lifetime in high-temperature environments such as enclosed UPS cabinets or transformerless PV inverters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO263-2 (D8512C5), surface-mount, isolated tab, thermally enhanced plastic housing with exposed cathode pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 + Backside Tab | Cathode | Primary heat path and high-current return node; must be soldered to large copper pour or heatsink for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Low-inductance anode connection; routed with minimal loop area to reduce voltage overshoot during di/dt events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery (Qrr = 0) | Eliminates tail current and associated switching loss in IGBT half-bridges, enabling >50 kHz PFC operation without snubbers. |
| Tight VF distribution (±5% typical) | Enables parallel operation without current imbalance or derating; supports multi-phase interleaved designs with uniform thermal loading. |
| Specified dv/dt ruggedness (150 V/ns) | Guarantees reliable blocking during rapid voltage transients in motor drives and grid-tied inverters without external RC networks. |
| Extended surge current (70 A, 10 µs) | Withstands short-circuit fault currents in UPS output stages and photovoltaic string-level protection without degradation. |
| Pb-free, RoHS-compliant plating | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 MSL1 reflow profile (260°C peak), enabling compatibility with standard lead-free SMT assembly lines. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D08065E-TR | 650 V rating, 8 A, TO-263-2; lower VRRM but higher IF(25°C) = 12.5 A; VF = 1.8 V @ 8 A/25°C. | Targeted at 600 V-class industrial motor drives and server PSUs; not suitable for 1000+ V DC bus systems. | Select when system DC bus ≤ 700 V and higher room-temperature current headroom is needed. |
| SDP18N120 | 1200 V, 18 A, TO-247-2; higher IF and surge rating (120 A); VF = 1.75 V @ 18 A/25°C; Rth(j–c) = 0.55 K/W. | Designed for higher-power solar string inverters (≥30 kW) and traction converters requiring >10 A average current. | Choose for systems needing ≥12 A continuous current or lower thermal resistance; requires larger footprint and heatsink. |
Compared with C3D08065E-TR and SDP18N120, IDK08G120C5XTMA1 uniquely balances 1200 V blocking, 8 A thermal-limited current, ultra-low QC, and industry-leading dv/dt ruggedness - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 10–25 kW industrial inverters where voltage margin and transient immunity are critical.

FAQ
Is IDK08G120C5XTMA1 suitable for paralleling multiple devices?
Yes - its tight forward voltage distribution (±5% typical) and positive temperature coefficient of VF enable stable current sharing without external ballasting resistors. Parallel operation is validated in Infineon's application note AN2019-09 for 3-phase PFC designs, with derating of 10% per additional device beyond two units.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal performance?
Infineon specifies a minimum 400 mm² exposed copper pad (20 mm × 20 mm) on the primary side, connected via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, 0.8 mm pitch) to internal ground planes. With this layout, Rth(j–c) remains within 1.19 K/W max, supporting 8 A continuous at TC ≤ 161°C.
Does IDK08G120C5XTMA1 require a gate resistor or snubber network?
No - as a Schottky diode, it has no gate and requires no snubber. However, a small RC snubber (10 Ω + 1 nF) across the diode is recommended in hard-switched IGBT bridges with di/dt > 3 kA/µs to suppress high-frequency ringing caused by stray inductance, per Infineon's layout guidelines in AN2020-12.
Can IDK08G120C5XTMA1 replace silicon diodes in existing designs without layout changes?
Yes - it uses the same PG-TO263-2 footprint and pinout as legacy Si FRDs (e.g., IDP08E65D2), enabling drop-in replacement. However, reduced switching loss may require gate resistor adjustment on the paired switch to maintain optimal ZVS/ZCS timing and minimize EMI peaks above 30 MHz.
