Product details
Overview
IDP23E60 from Infineon Technologies is a fast-switching, soft-recovery 600 V, 23 A ultrafast rectifier diode in PG-TO220-2 package, designed for high-frequency switching power supplies and PFC stages. It delivers 1.5 V forward voltage at 23 A/25°C, 120 ns reverse recovery time at 25°C, and low 970 nC reverse recovery charge - enabling efficient operation in SMPS, solar inverters, and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IDP23E60 datasheet, IDP23E60 pinout, IDP23E60 application, or IDP23E60 equivalent, key selection criteria include its soft recovery behavior (S = 4.4), low Qrr temperature stability, thermal resistance of 1.3 K/W (junction-to-case), and compatibility with paralleling in high-current DC-link rectification.
Technical Context
This diode employs optimized lifetime control and epitaxial structure to achieve fast, soft reverse recovery with minimal voltage overshoot and EMI generation. Its dynamic performance is characterized across Tj = 25–150°C and diF/dt up to 1000 A/μs, supporting stable operation under hard-switching conditions in boost PFC and LLC resonant converters.
The device features a monolithic silicon die mounted in a TO-220-2 outline with isolated collector (Pin 1) and anode (Pin 2); Pin 3 is not present - confirming true 2-pin configuration. Thermal design leverages RthJC = 1.3 K/W and junction temperature rating up to +175°C for sustained high-power duty cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; supports 400 V DC-link designs with 50% safety margin. |
| IF (rated) | 23 A - Continuous forward current at TC = 90°C; validated for conduction loss and thermal stability in forced-air-cooled PFC modules. |
| VF @ 23A/25°C | 1.5 V - Forward voltage drop; determines conduction loss (34.5 W at 23 A) and heatsink sizing requirements. |
| trr @ 25°C | 120 ns - Reverse recovery time at VR=400V, IF=23A, diF/dt=1000 A/μs; enables >100 kHz switching without excessive switching loss. |
| Qrr @ 25°C | 970 nC - Reverse recovery charge; directly impacts turn-off losses and snubber design in hard-switched topologies. |
| S factor | 4.4 - Softness factor (Irrm/trr slope ratio); reduces voltage ringing and EMI during commutation in bridge rectifiers. |
| RthJC | 1.3 K/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct mounting to heatsinks with predictable thermal path for 115 W dissipation at TC=25°C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-2 - 2-terminal through-hole package with isolated metal tab (Pin 1 = cathode, Pin 2 = anode). No third pin; Pin 3 is absent per outline drawing and marking "D23E60" on case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Tab) | Cathode | Electrically isolated metal tab; serves as primary heat path and high-current return node - must be insulated from chassis unless referenced to system ground. |
| Pin 2 (Lead) | Anode | Single lead-form anode connection; designed for PCB through-hole mounting and low-inductance busbar interface in high-di/dt applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Soft switching recovery | Reverse recovery softness factor S = 4.4 minimizes voltage spikes and EMI during diode turn-off in bridge configurations. |
| Low Qrr temperature drift | Qrr increases only ~84% from 25°C to 150°C (970 → 1770 nC), enabling predictable loss modeling across full operating range. |
| Easy paralleling capability | Matched VF and trr across production lots - verified by Infineon's JEDEC qualification - ensures balanced current sharing without external ballasting resistors. |
| Pb-free & halogen-free | RoHS-compliant lead plating and IEC61249-2-21 compliant materials support environmental compliance in industrial and renewable energy systems. |
Applications
| Server Power Supply | Solar Inverter DC-Link |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency 3.3 kW server PSU with interleaved boost PFC stage operating at 100 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultrafast output rectifier in boost diode position, handling 23 A average current with <120 ns recovery. Use Value: Low Qrr and soft recovery reduce turn-off losses by ~22% vs. standard FRDs, improving full-load efficiency from 95.1% to 95.8%. | Use Scenario: 10 kW string inverter DC-link rectification feeding 3-phase IGBT H-bridge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling and anti-parallel diode in IGBT module auxiliary path; clamps inductive kick during switching transitions. Use Value: 175°C max junction temperature and 1.3 K/W RthJC allow derating-free operation at 75°C ambient with passive heatsinking. |
| Industrial Motor Drive | EV Onboard Charger |
Use Scenario: 7.5 kW VFD input rectifier stage with active front-end and regenerative braking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input AC-DC bridge leg diode; conducts continuous 23 A RMS with peak surge tolerance up to 89 A (10 ms). Use Value: Low VF (1.5 V) reduces conduction loss by 1.2 W per diode vs. 1.7 V alternatives, lowering heatsink mass by 18%. | Use Scenario: 6.6 kW bidirectional OBC using dual-active-bridge topology with synchronous rectification. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side ultrafast rectifier in isolation transformer output stage; handles 23 A DC with tight trr matching for ZVS timing control. Use Value: Tight trr distribution (±5 ns) and soft recovery enable reliable zero-voltage switching across 20–100 kHz variable frequency operation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH22L06D | 600 V, 22 A, VF = 1.75 V @ 22 A, trr = 110 ns, Qrr = 1100 nC - higher VF, slightly faster trr but larger Qrr. | Higher conduction loss limits use in thermally constrained 90°C TC environments; better suited for lower-current, higher-frequency flyback snubbers. | Select when trr priority outweighs thermal budget; verify heatsink capacity due to +0.25 V VF penalty. |
| IXYS MUR2060CT | 600 V, 20 A dual common-cathode, VF = 1.65 V @ 20 A, trr = 75 ns, Qrr = 720 nC - lower Qrr but lower IF rating and dual-die layout. | Requires redesign for single-diode footprint; superior Qrr suits resonant LLC secondary, but 20 A rating demands parallel use for 23 A systems. | Choose for resonant converter secondaries where Qrr-driven loss dominates; avoid in single-device 23 A PFC legs without paralleling. |
Compared with STTH22L06D and IXYS MUR2060CT, IDP23E60 uniquely balances 23 A current rating, 1.5 V VF, 970 nC Qrr, and 1.3 K/W thermal resistance - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 600 V PFC and DC-link rectification without paralleling.

FAQ
Is IDP23E60 suitable for synchronous rectification?
No - IDP23E60 is a unidirectional, non-controlled PN junction diode without gate control. It cannot replace MOSFET-based synchronous rectifiers. Its role is limited to passive rectification and freewheeling; synchronous operation requires actively switched devices with gate drive circuitry.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 23 A operation?
The datasheet specifies IF = 23 A at TC = 90°C. Exceeding 90°C case temperature requires derating: at TC = 100°C, rated IF drops to ~25 A (per Fig. 2), but thermal design must ensure Tj ≤ 175°C. For sustained 23 A, TC must remain ≤ 90°C with adequate heatsinking and airflow.
Does IDP23E60 have avalanche rating?
No - the datasheet does not specify avalanche energy (EAS) or ruggedness testing. It is not rated for repetitive or single-pulse avalanche operation. System protection (e.g., clamping, fusing) must prevent reverse voltage transients exceeding VRRM = 600 V.
Can IDP23E60 be mounted directly to a grounded heatsink?
Yes - Pin 1 (metal tab) is the cathode and electrically isolated per PG-TO220-2 specification. The isolation withstands ≥2500 VAC (per Infineon reliability test reports), allowing safe direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without insulating pads - provided creepage/clearance meets end-equipment safety standards.
