Product details
Overview
IDM05G120C5XTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 5th Generation CoolSiC™ 1200 V, 5 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in PG-TO252-2 package, featuring zero reverse recovery charge, 24 nC total capacitive charge at 800 V/150°C, and 175°C maximum junction temperature - deployed in high-efficiency solar inverters and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the IDM05G120C5XTMA1 datasheet, IDM05G120C5XTMA1 pinout, IDM05G120C5XTMA1 application, or IDM05G120C5XTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, temperature-independent switching, tight VF distribution (1.50–1.80 V @ 5 A/25°C), and dv/dt ruggedness of 150 V/ns.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces conventional silicon fast recovery diodes in high-voltage DC-link rectification, eliminating reverse recovery losses and enabling >100 kHz switching in PFC and inverter stages. Its unipolar conduction mechanism ensures no minority-carrier storage, resulting in zero Qrr and minimal EMI generation.
Thermal performance is optimized via low Rth(j-c) of 0.8–1.04 K/W and operation up to 175°C junction temperature, supporting compact heatsink designs. The device sustains 59 A non-repetitive surge current (10 ms, TC=25°C) and exhibits stable capacitance (17 pF @ 800 V, 1 MHz) across temperature and bias.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - supports DC-link voltages up to 1000 V bus in 3-phase inverters with 20% safety margin |
| IF | 5 A continuous @ TC=164°C - enables high-power density in thermally constrained SMD layouts |
| QC | 24 nC @ VR=800 V, Tj=150°C - determines turn-off energy loss in hard-switched converters |
| VF | 1.50–1.80 V @ IF=5 A, Tj=25°C - delivers lower conduction loss than Si FRD equivalents at same current |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.8–1.04 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for passive cooling without external heatsink |
| dv/dt | 150 V/ns - withstands rapid voltage transients in motor drive and inverter bridge legs |
| Tj,max | 175°C - extends lifetime and reliability under sustained overload or ambient temperature stress |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D05120E (Wolfspeed) | Same 1200 V/5 A rating; higher typical VF (1.75 V @ 5 A/25°C); Rth(j-c) = 1.2 K/W | Limited surge rating (45 A, 10 ms); less robust dv/dt (100 V/ns) | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin; verify layout for higher Rth |
| STPSC5H12D (STMicroelectronics) | 1200 V/5 A; tighter VF tolerance (±0.05 V); lower QC (21 nC); Rth(j-c) = 0.95 K/W | Lower surge rating (42 A, 10 ms); JEDEC qualification not explicitly stated for industrial UPS | Better for precision PFC where low QC dominates; confirm qualification scope for mission-critical UPS |
Compared with C3D05120E and STPSC5H12D, IDM05G120C5XTMA1 offers superior surge robustness (59 A), guaranteed dv/dt (150 V/ns), and JEDEC-qualified reliability - making it optimal for high-stress industrial inverters and grid-tied UPS where transient immunity and long-term stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The IDM05G120C5XTMA1 supports continuous forward current of 5 A at case temperature (TC) up to 164°C, as specified in the datasheet's maximum ratings table. This rating assumes D=1 duty cycle and uses the maximum junction-to-case thermal resistance (Rth(j-c),max = 1.04 K/W). Exceeding this TC requires derating per the Ptot vs. TC curve in Figure 1.
Does this diode require a gate resistor or driver circuit?
No - the IDM05G120C5XTMA1 is a passive Schottky diode with no gate terminal or control input. It operates solely based on anode-cathode voltage polarity and does not require external driving circuitry, unlike MOSFETs or IGBTs. Its switching behavior is fully intrinsic and governed by SiC material properties.
Can IDM05G120C5XTMA1 be paralleled with identical units?
Yes - its tight forward voltage distribution (±0.15 V at 5 A/25°C) and positive temperature coefficient of VF enable stable current sharing when paralleled. Layout symmetry (equal trace inductance/resistance) and shared thermal plane are required; no external ballasting resistors are needed per the datasheet recommendations.
Is the PG-TO252-2 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the IDM05G120C5XTMA1 uses Pb-free lead plating and is fully RoHS compliant, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the final datasheet Rev. 2.1. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) for reflow soldering up to 260°C peak temperature.
