Product details
Overview
IMW65R020M2HXKSA1 from Infineon is a 650 V, 20 mΩ silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET in PG-TO247-3 package with drain-connected tab, gate on pin 1, and source on pin 3. It features 4.5 V gate threshold voltage, 57 nC total gate charge, and 290 A pulsed drain current, enabling high-efficiency hard-switched topologies in industrial power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the IMW65R020M2HXKSA1 datasheet, IMW65R020M2HXKSA1 pinout, IMW65R020M2HXKSA1 application, or IMW65R020M2HXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 175 °C, dv/dt ruggedness up to 200 V/ns, body diode Qfr of 167 nC, and thermal resistance Rth(j–c) of 0.55 °C/W for thermal design validation.
Technical Context
This CoolSiC™ G2 MOSFET uses Infineon's trench-based SiC process to deliver ultra-low switching losses (Eon = 506 µJ, Eoff = 90 µJ at 400 V/46.9 A) and robust parasitic turn-on immunity-even with 0 V gate turn-off-enabling simplified gate driving without negative bias.
Its internal body diode supports hard commutation with tfr = 37.2 ns and Qfr = 167 nC, while .XT interconnection technology ensures low thermal resistance and stable operation up to Tj = 175 °C under continuous industrial duty cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 650 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 650 V in boost, PFC, and inverter stages without derating. |
| RDS(on), max | 24 mΩ at Tj = 175 °C - Enables <83 A continuous conduction at 100 °C case temperature with minimal conduction loss. |
| QG | 57 nC - Determines gate driver peak current requirement (~32 A for 1.8 Ω external resistor and 18 V drive). |
| Eoss @ 400 V | 14.7 µJ - Directly impacts turn-off energy and snubber sizing in high-frequency hard-switched converters. |
| Rth(j–c) | 0.55 °C/W - Allows 273 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C; critical for heatsink sizing in UPS and solar inverters. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 200 V/ns - Supports reliable operation in high-di/dt environments like motor drives without false triggering. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO247-3 with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard through-hole mounting, M3/M3.5 screw torque rating of 60 Ncm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate | Control terminal; requires 0 V to 18 V drive; immune to parasitic turn-on even at 0 V off-state. |
| Pin 2 / Tab | Drain | Main high-side power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab for low-inductance, high-current return path. |
| Pin 3 | Source | Power return and gate reference node; must be low-inductance layout to preserve switching speed and stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low switching losses | Etot = 596 µJ at 400 V/46.9 A enables >99% efficiency in 100 kHz+ totem-pole PFC designs. |
| Benchmark VGS(th) | 4.5 V typical threshold provides clear logic-level compatibility and noise margin against spurious turn-on. |
| Robust body diode | Qfr = 167 nC and tfr = 37.2 ns allow reliable freewheeling in bridge-leg configurations without external anti-parallel diodes. |
| .XT interconnection | Reduces thermal resistance by ~15% vs. prior generation, improving long-term reliability under thermal cycling in EV chargers. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3M0021065K | RDS(on) = 21 mΩ, QG = 62 nC, TO247-4L package with Kelvin source | Requires Kelvin source layout for optimal gate control; higher QG increases driver loss | Preferred where gate drive stability at >200 kHz is critical; not drop-in due to 4-pin layout |
| STW65N65DM6 | 650 V Si IGBT, RCE(sat) = 45 mΩ, slower switching (tf ≈ 250 ns), no body diode recovery | Lower cost but limited to <30 kHz; unsuitable for ZVS or high-frequency PFC | Only viable for cost-sensitive, low-frequency UPS or motor drives where efficiency <97% is acceptable |
Compared with C3M0021065K, IMW65R020M2HXKSA1 offers lower gate charge and simpler 3-pin layout but lacks Kelvin source for ultra-high-speed gate control; versus STW65N65DM6, it delivers 3× higher switching frequency capability and 40% lower system-level losses in 100+ kHz designs.

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, with transient tolerance up to −10 V/+25 V for ≤500 ns pulses. For robust industrial operation, Infineon recommends VGS(on) = 18 V and VGS(off) = 0 V-no negative bias required due to inherent immunity to parasitic turn-on.
Does IMW65R020M2HXKSA1 require an external anti-parallel diode in bridge configurations?
No. Its integrated SiC body diode is fully rated for hard commutation with tfr = 37.2 ns and Qfr = 167 nC at 46.9 A, validated per JEDEC industrial standards. External diodes add parasitic inductance and are unnecessary unless extreme reverse recovery softness is required beyond datasheet specs.
How does thermal performance compare between IMW65R020M2HXKSA1 and previous-generation CoolSiC devices?
Thanks to Infineon's .XT interconnection technology, Rth(j–c) is reduced to 0.55 °C/W-~12% lower than first-gen 650 V CoolSiC MOSFETs-enabling either 15% higher power density or 10 °C lower junction temperature at identical power dissipation and heatsink conditions.
Can this MOSFET be used in linear (ohmic) mode operation?
No. The datasheet explicitly states "Linear mode operation is not recommended." Safe operating area (SOA) diagrams show only pulse-rated operation; sustained linear-mode conduction risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) and lack of SOA characterization in that region.
