Product details
Overview
IDM10G120C5XTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 5th Generation CoolSiC™ 1200 V, 10 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in PG-TO252-2 package, designed for high-efficiency power conversion in hard-switched and high-frequency topologies. It delivers zero reverse recovery charge, 41 nC total capacitive charge at 800 V/150°C, and operates up to 175°C junction temperature - enabling use in solar inverters and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IDM10G120C5XTMA1 datasheet, IDM10G120C5XTMA1 pinout, IDM10G120C5XTMA1 application, or IDM10G120C5XTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1200 V VRRM, 10 A continuous forward current at TC = 160°C, dv/dt ruggedness of 150 V/ns, and tight VF distribution (1.5–1.8 V @ 10 A/25°C).
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces conventional silicon fast recovery diodes in high-voltage DC-link freewheeling and boost stages. Its unipolar conduction eliminates minority-carrier storage, resulting in no reverse recovery current and temperature-independent switching behavior across –55°C to 175°C.
Designed for hard-switched PFC and inverter legs, it supports high dv/dt stress (150 V/ns) and handles surge currents up to 99 A (10 ms, TC = 25°C). Thermal resistance Rth(j-c) is 0.5–0.7 K/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pads in SMD mounting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - blocks full DC-link voltage in 1000 V-class solar and UPS systems |
| IF (cont.) | 10 A @ TC = 160°C - enables compact heatsink design without derating at high ambient |
| QC | 41 nC @ VR = 800 V, Tj = 150°C - reduces turn-off losses in high-frequency switching |
| VF | 1.5–1.8 V @ IF = 10 A, Tj = 25°C - minimizes conduction loss while maintaining low thermal runaway risk |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 150 V/ns - withstands steep voltage transients in IGBT-based half-bridges without false turn-on |
| Tj,max | 175°C - extends system lifetime under sustained overload or poor cooling conditions |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.5–0.7 K/W - allows direct thermal coupling to 6 cm² copper pad on FR4 PCB |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 & backside | Cathode | Primary thermal path and high-current return node; requires large copper pour for heat dissipation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D10120A | 1200 V, 10 A, TO-220AC package; Rth(j-c) = 1.0 K/W; QC = 45 nC @ 800 V | Requires bolt-down heatsinking; less suitable for space-constrained SMD designs | Preferred where mechanical robustness and serviceability outweigh PCB area constraints |
| STPSC10H12D | 1200 V, 10 A, TO-220AC; VF = 1.7–2.1 V @ 10 A/25°C; QC = 48 nC @ 800 V | Higher VF spread and lower dv/dt rating (100 V/ns); not qualified per JEDEC AEC-Q101 | Lower-cost option for non-automotive industrial use where EMI margin is relaxed |
Compared with C3D10120A and STPSC10H12D, IDM10G120C5XTMA1 offers superior thermal performance (Rth(j-c) ≤ 0.7 K/W), tighter VF tolerance, and JEDEC-qualified dv/dt ruggedness - making it optimal for high-density, high-reliability SMD power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The IDM10G120C5XTMA1 supports continuous forward current of 10 A at case temperature (TC) up to 160°C, verified per JESD22 thermal testing. Operation beyond this requires derating per the IF vs. TC curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet, with absolute maximum junction temperature limited to 175°C.
Does this diode require a gate resistor or driver circuit?
No - the IDM10G120C5XTMA1 is a passive Schottky diode with no gate terminal or control interface. It conducts when anode voltage exceeds cathode voltage by ≥VF, and blocks when reverse biased. No external drive circuitry is needed, unlike MOSFETs or IGBTs.
Can IDM10G120C5XTMA1 be paralleled with identical units?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of forward voltage and tight VF distribution (±0.15 V typical) enable stable current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched PCB layout, symmetrical thermal paths, and identical trace lengths to minimize dynamic imbalance during high-di/dt switching.
Is this part suitable for use in automotive traction inverters?
No - although qualified per JEDEC standards for industrial applications, IDM10G120C5XTMA1 is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks automotive-specific screening (e.g., HTOL, UHAST). For traction inverters, Infineon's AEC-Q101-qualified CoolSiC™ diodes such as IDH10G120C5XKSA1 are recommended.
