Product details
Overview
IMBG120R181M2HXTMA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 10.5 A silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET in PG-TO263-7-U01 package, featuring 181.4 mΩ RDS(on) at 18 V gate drive and 25°C junction temperature, 2 µs short-circuit withstand time, and Kelvin-source sensing for precise gate control. It serves as a high-efficiency power switch in EV charging systems operating up to 200°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the IMBG120R181M2HXTMA1 datasheet, IMBG120R181M2HXTMA1 pinout, IMBG120R181M2HXTMA1 application, or IMBG120R181M2HXTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1200 V blocking capability, low switching losses (Eon = 20 µJ, Eoff = 5.2 µJ @ 800 V), robust body diode for hard commutation, and -5 V to 18 V recommended gate voltage range.
Technical Context
This CoolSiC™ G2 MOSFET employs a trench-gate SiC structure with optimized charge balance, enabling ultra-low Coss (12 pF) and Crss (1 pF) for fast, low-loss switching. Its 4.2 V gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) and 15 Ω internal gate resistance support stable turn-on while resisting parasitic turn-on under high dV/dt.
The device integrates a Kelvin source terminal (Pin 2) electrically isolated from main source pins (Pins 3–7), enabling accurate gate-drive loop decoupling and minimizing dynamic RDS(on) rise during high di/dt events. Thermal performance is enhanced by Infineon's .XT interconnection technology, delivering Rth(j-c) = 1.22 K/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 1200 V - Enables use in 1000 V DC bus systems with 20% safety margin, e.g., EV charging and industrial UPS. |
| RDS(on) | 181.4 mΩ @ VGS = 18 V, Tvj = 25°C - Determines conduction loss in continuous operation; rises to 429 mΩ at 175°C. |
| IDDC | 10.5 A @ TC = 100°C - Specifies maximum sustainable current under real thermal conditions in TO263-7L heatsink mounting. |
| tSC | 2 µs @ VDD ≤ 800 V, VGS(on) = 15 V - Defines safe fault-clearing window before thermal runaway in short-circuit events. |
| VGS(th) | 4.2 V (typ.) - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 15 V gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity above 3.5 V min. |
| Eon/Eoff | 20 µJ / 5.2 µJ @ 800 V, 3.8 A - Quantifies energy loss per switching cycle; enables >100 kHz operation with low thermal burden. |
| Tvj(max) | 175°C continuous, 200°C overload (100 h cumulative) - Supports high-power density designs with reduced heatsinking requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO263-7-U01 (7-pin D²PAK variant with Kelvin source), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed drain tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate | Main gate input; connects to external gate driver output; requires low-inductance routing to minimize oscillation. |
| Pin 2 | Kelvin Sense Contact | Dedicated low-current gate return path; must be routed separately from high-current source to avoid voltage drop error in gate drive loop. |
| Pins 3–7 | Source | Main power source terminals; paralleled for low inductance and current sharing; not interchangeable with Pin 2. |
| Tab | Drain | High-current drain connection; electrically tied to PCB copper pour for thermal dissipation and EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Robust body diode for hard commutation | Forward recovery energy Efr = 14 µJ @ 25°C; supports zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and bidirectional current flow without external anti-parallel diode. |
| .XT interconnection technology | Rth(j-c) = 1.22 K/W - Reduces thermal resistance by ~25% vs. standard wire-bonded TO263, enabling higher power density. |
| Benchmark VGS(th) and noise immunity | VGS(th) = 4.2 V (typ.), min. 3.5 V - Prevents unintended turn-on during high dV/dt transients common in SiC half-bridges. |
| Short-circuit ruggedness | 2 µs withstand time at 15 V gate drive - Allows sufficient time for protection circuitry (e.g., DESAT detection) to respond before failure. |
| Wide gate voltage range | VGS = –5 V to +18 V - Enables active Miller clamping and negative turn-off bias to suppress false triggering in noisy environments. |
Applications
| EV Charging Station | Online UPS System |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional AC/DC and DC/DC conversion in 15–30 kW modular EV chargers with liquid-cooled heatsinks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side/low-side switching element in totem-pole PFC and isolated DC/DC stages; operates at 70–100 kHz. Use Value: 1200 V rating supports 1000 V battery architectures; low Eon/Eoff reduces cooling requirements and improves system efficiency to >98%. |
Use Scenario: Double-conversion online UPS for data centers requiring <5 ms switchover and >96% efficiency at full load. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter-stage switch handling 400–800 V DC bus; configured in three-phase IGBT/SiC hybrid or full-SiC topology. Use Value: 200°C overload capability ensures reliability during sustained overloads; Kelvin source enables precise gate control under high di/dt. |
| String Solar Inverter | General Purpose Drive |
|
Use Scenario: Central or string inverters converting 600–1000 V PV array DC to grid-synchronized AC, operating outdoors with wide ambient range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DC-link switch in NPC or T-type multilevel topologies; switching frequency 16–25 kHz with soft-switching. Use Value: Low Coss (12 pF) and Crss (1 pF) minimize capacitive turn-on loss; robust body diode eliminates need for discrete antiparallel Si diodes. |
Use Scenario: Industrial motor drives (0.75–15 kW) for pumps, fans, and conveyors with regenerative braking and harmonic filtering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter leg switch in 3-phase bridge; handles PWM at 8–16 kHz with field-oriented control (FOC). Use Value: 10.5 A continuous current at 100°C case temperature supports compact heatsink design; 181.4 mΩ RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <2.5 W at rated load. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage SiC MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wolfspeed C3M0160120K | RDS(on) = 160 mΩ (lower), but no Kelvin source; VGS(th) = 3.2 V (lower), increasing noise sensitivity. | Lacks dedicated Kelvin sense, limiting gate-loop optimization in high-di/dt PFC stages. | Prefer when cost-driven and gate drive layout allows conservative noise margins. |
| ROHM SCT3160KL | RDS(on) = 160 mΩ, VGS(th) = 4.5 V, but only 6-pin TO247-6L package; no Kelvin source pin. | Higher package inductance and absence of Kelvin sensing reduce switching efficiency in >50 kHz designs. | Choose for legacy TO247 footprint compatibility where layout constraints prevent TO263-7L adoption. |
Compared with C3M0160120K and SCT3160KL, IMBG120R181M2HXTMA1 trades slightly higher RDS(on) for integrated Kelvin source and superior short-circuit ruggedness (2 µs), making it optimal for high-reliability, high-frequency PFC and inverter stages where gate-loop integrity is critical.

FAQ
What gate driver is recommended for IMBG120R181M2HXTMA1?
Infineon recommends gate drivers with ±5 A peak output, negative turn-off capability (–5 V), and low propagation delay (<50 ns), such as the 1ED34xx or 2EDF7275K families. The Kelvin source pin requires separate low-inductance routing to the driver's source return, independent of high-current source paths, to maintain accurate gate voltage control during fast switching.
Can IMBG120R181M2HXTMA1 replace silicon IGBTs directly in existing designs?
No direct drop-in replacement is possible due to differences in gate drive requirements (SiC needs higher VGS, faster edges, and negative turn-off bias) and lower gate charge (QG = 9.7 nC vs. typical IGBT QG > 100 nC). Layout changes-including Kelvin source routing, gate resistor optimization, and desaturation protection tuning-are required to leverage SiC benefits safely.
What is the significance of the "M2H" suffix in the part number?
The "M2H" denotes the specific CoolSiC™ G2 die revision and thermal performance grade: "M" indicates the 181 mΩ RDS(on) variant, "2" signifies second-generation gate oxide process, and "H" confirms qualification for industrial applications per JEDEC JESD22-A108 and JESD47 standards, including 1000-cycle temperature cycling and 1000-hour HTRB testing.
Is the body diode suitable for freewheeling in hard-switched topologies?
Yes-the integrated body diode is characterized for hard commutation with forward recovery energy Efr = 14 µJ (25°C) and peak forward recovery current Ifrm = 24 A. It supports ZVS transitions and eliminates need for external antiparallel diodes in totem-pole PFC and phase-shifted full-bridge converters, provided gate drive timing avoids simultaneous conduction.
