Product details
Overview
IMW65R015M2HXKSA1 from Infineon is a 650 V, 14.5 mΩ silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET in PG-TO247-3 package, featuring ultra-low switching losses, robust body diode operation under hard commutation, and benchmark gate threshold voltage of 4.5 V. It serves as a high-efficiency power switch in high-frequency DC-DC converters, solar inverters, and EV charging systems.
For engineers reviewing the IMW65R015M2HXKSA1 datasheet, IMW65R015M2HXKSA1 pinout, IMW65R015M2HXKSA1 application, or IMW65R015M2HXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 175 °C, QG = 79 nC, Eoss = 20.1 µJ, dv/dt ruggedness up to 200 V/ns, and thermal resistance Rth(j-c) = 0.44 °C/W.
Technical Context
This CoolSiC™ Gen 2 MOSFET uses trench-based SiC technology with .XT interconnection for enhanced thermal performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 4.5 V typ) ensures stable turn-on behavior and immunity to parasitic turn-on even with 0 V gate drive during turn-off.
The device integrates an internal body diode rated for hard commutation, with forward recovery time tfr = 40.5 ns and Qfr = 221 nC. Dynamic parameters-including Ciss = 2792 pF, Crss = 16 pF, and Eon/Eoff = 825/191 µJ at 400 V-are optimized for high-frequency, high-efficiency topologies like Totem-Pole PFC and three-level NPC inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 650 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with ≥50% voltage margin for transient overvoltage handling |
| RDS(on), max | 18 mΩ at Tj = 175 °C - enables <93 A continuous conduction at 100 °C case temperature without derating |
| QG | 79 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and influences switching speed control in 100–500 kHz applications |
| Eoss | 20.1 µJ @ 400 V - directly impacts zero-voltage switching (ZVS) capability and soft-switching design feasibility |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.44 °C/W - allows 341 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C, supporting compact heatsink integration |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 200 V/ns - ensures reliable operation in fast-switching half-bridge configurations without false triggering |
| ID,pulse | 393 A - supports short-duration overload conditions in motor drive and UPS peak-load scenarios |
Pinout & Package
IMW65R015M2HXKSA1 uses the PG-TO247-3 package with isolated tab (Drain-connected), enabling direct mounting to heatsinks while maintaining electrical isolation. The package features copper clip bonding and .XT interconnect technology for low-inductance, high-current capability and superior thermal transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives gate drive signal; requires 0–18 V swing; internal RG,int = 2.1 Ω affects Miller plateau timing |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Connected to internal SiC die drain; tab is electrically tied to Pin 2 - must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference node | Serves as return path for load current and gate drive loop; critical for minimizing common-source inductance in high-dI/dt switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low switching losses | Eon + Eoff = 1016 µJ @ 400 V - reduces conduction + switching loss trade-off, enabling >99% efficiency in 100 kHz+ PFC stages |
| Robust body diode | tfr = 40.5 ns, Qfr = 221 nC - eliminates need for external anti-parallel Si diode in bidirectional topologies like active rectification |
| Benchmark VGS(th) | 4.5 V typ (3.5–5.6 V range) - provides clear logic-level distinction between on/off states, reducing risk of partial turn-on during noise transients |
| Flexible gate drive | Rated for VGS = –10 to +25 V transient - supports bipolar gate driving (e.g., –5 V / +15 V) to suppress Miller-induced turn-on |
| .XT interconnection | Reduces package inductance and thermal resistance - improves current sharing in paralleled devices and extends lifetime under thermal cycling |
Applications
| Solar PV Inverters | EV DC Fast Charging |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Three-phase string inverters operating at 100–150 kHz with 1000 V DC input and grid-synchronized AC output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switching element in NPC or T-type multilevel topology, handling 30–50 kW per phase.

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 C3M0015065K | RDS(on) = 15 mΩ (typ), QG = 82 nC, Rth(j-c) = 0.45 °C/W, TO247-3 package | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; slightly lower thermal performance limits peak power density | Preferred where legacy Wolfspeed ecosystem support or qualification history is required |
| ROHM SCT3015AL | RDS(on) = 15 mΩ (typ), QG = 72 nC, Rth(j-c) = 0.47 °C/W, TO247N package with non-isolated tab | Non-isolated tab requires insulating interface to heatsink; lower QG eases gate drive but body diode Qfr not specified | Selected when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin needs and board layout accommodates tab isolation constraints |
Compared with C3M0015065K and SCT3015AL, IMW65R015M2HXKSA1 delivers the lowest combined Eoss + QG product (20.1 µJ + 79 nC), enabling tighter dead-time control and higher frequency operation in ZVS designs without compromising avalanche robustness or thermal headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for reliable long-term operation?
The datasheet specifies a static gate-source voltage limit of –7 V to +23 V and a transient rating of –10 V to +25 V for pulses ≤500 ns. For sustained reliability, Infineon recommends limiting VGS to 0–18 V during normal switching, aligning with the recommended turn-on/turn-off voltages and avoiding prolonged exposure above 20 V to prevent oxide degradation.
Does IMW65R015M2HXKSA1 require an external anti-parallel diode in bridge configurations?
No. The integrated body diode is fully characterized for hard commutation with tfr = 40.5 ns and Qfr = 221 nC, and it is qualified for repetitive reverse recovery stress. This eliminates the need for external diodes in totem-pole PFC or bidirectional DC/DC topologies, simplifying layout and reducing component count.
How does the .XT interconnection technology improve thermal performance compared to standard wire-bonded TO-247?
.XT (eXtreme Thermal) uses copper clips instead of aluminum wires to connect the die to leads, reducing thermal resistance by ~12% and package inductance by ~30%. This yields Rth(j-c) = 0.44 °C/W versus ~0.50 °C/W in conventional variants, directly improving power handling and thermal cycling endurance in high-reliability applications.
Is this device qualified for automotive applications?
No. IMW65R015M2HXKSA1 is fully qualified per JEDEC JESD47 for industrial applications only (Tj = –55 °C to +175 °C). It is not AEC-Q101 qualified, lacks automotive-specific test reports (e.g., HTGB, HTRB), and is not listed in Infineon's automotive-grade CoolSiC™ portfolio. Automotive use requires explicit qualification validation.
