Product details
Overview
IMW65R040M2HXKSA1 from Infineon is a 650 V, 40 mΩ silicon carbide (SiC) trench MOSFET in PG-TO247-3 package, featuring ultra-low switching losses (Eon = 163 µJ, Eoff = 18 µJ @ 400 V), benchmark gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 4.5 V), and robust body diode operation under hard commutation-used as a high-efficiency power switch in EV charging infrastructure and solar PV inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IMW65R040M2HXKSA1 datasheet, IMW65R040M2HXKSA1 pinout, IMW65R040M2HXKSA1 application, or IMW65R040M2HXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 175 °C (49 mΩ max), QG = 28 nC, thermal resistance Rth(j-c) = 0.87 °C/W, and dv/dt ruggedness of 200 V/ns for reliable high-frequency hard-switching designs.
Technical Context
This CoolSiC™ Gen 2 MOSFET employs Infineon's silicon carbide trench process with .XT interconnection technology, enabling superior thermal performance and stable gate drive behavior across industrial temperature range (–55 to +175 °C). Its internal body diode supports bidirectional current flow with tfr = 29.3 ns and Qfr = 94 nC, critical for ZVS/ZCS topologies.
The device operates with recommended gate voltages of 0 V (turn-off) and 18 V (turn-on), exhibits low Crss (5.8 pF) for reduced Miller effect, and delivers 142 A peak drain current (IDM) with avalanche energy rating (EAS) of 132 mJ-validated per JEDEC for industrial applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 650 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 650 V in boost, LLC, and two-level inverter stages without derating. |
| RDS(on), max @ 175 °C | 49 mΩ - Ensures low conduction loss and thermal stability in continuous high-power operation (e.g., 30 kW EV charger). |
| QG, typ | 28 nC - Enables fast, low-loss switching with standard gate drivers (e.g., 1EDN7512B) at ≥100 kHz. |
| Eoss @ 400 V | 7.2 µJ - Reduces turn-off loss and improves efficiency in hard-switched PFC and inverter legs. |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.87 °C/W - Supports >170 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C, simplifying heatsink sizing for TO-247 mounting. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 200 V/ns - Prevents false turn-on during high dV/dt transients in bridge configurations without active Miller clamp. |
| IDM | 142 A - Sustains short-duration overload conditions (e.g., motor startup surges or grid fault currents). |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO247-3 - Industry-standard through-hole package with isolated tab (drain-connected), optimized for high-current PCB mounting and thermal interface to heatsinks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives gate drive signal; requires low-inductance layout due to 3.4 Ω internal gate resistance and 28 nC total charge. |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | Main power output / high-side switch node | Connected to internal SiC die drain and metal tab; electrically tied to heatsink-requires isolation if heatsink is grounded. |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as gate drive reference and current sense point; must be routed with minimal loop inductance for stable switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low switching losses | Eon + Eoff = 181 µJ @ 400 V/22.9 A enables >99% efficiency in 100 kHz+ totem-pole PFC designs. |
| Benchmark VGS(th) = 4.5 V | Reduces risk of unintended turn-on during noise transients and allows compatibility with 5 V logic-level gate drivers. |
| Robust body diode under hard commutation | tfr = 29.3 ns and Qfr = 94 nC support reliable freewheeling in synchronous rectification without external Schottky diodes. |
| .XT interconnection technology | Improves thermal cycling reliability and reduces junction-to-case thermal resistance by 15% vs. conventional wire-bonded TO-247. |
| JEDEC-qualified for industrial use | Validated for 15-year lifetime at Tj = 150 °C, supporting long-term deployment in UPS and energy storage systems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP65H40F6AG | RDS(on) = 40 mΩ (typ), QG = 32 nC, Rth(j-c) = 0.95 °C/W, no integrated body diode characterization data provided | Limited published hard-commutation diode specs; less validated for solar inverter freewheeling stress | Prefer when gate drive margin >2 V is available and body diode robustness is secondary to cost |
| WOLFSPEED C3M0040065K | RDS(on) = 40 mΩ (typ), QG = 26 nC, Rth(j-c) = 0.90 °C/W, VGS(th) = 3.2–4.2 V (lower threshold increases noise sensitivity) | Lower VGS(th) requires tighter gate drive control to avoid parasitic turn-on in noisy environments | Prefer when minimizing QG is critical and system EMI filtering is robust |
Compared with STP65H40F6AG and C3M0040065K, IMW65R040M2HXKSA1 offers superior dv/dt immunity (200 V/ns), JEDEC-qualified industrial reliability, and fully characterized body diode performance-making it optimal for mission-critical, high-reliability power conversion where hard commutation and long service life are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous DC drain current (IDC) is 32 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. This rating reflects thermal limits under steady-state conduction, assuming proper heatsinking and ambient conditions meeting Infineon's derating guidelines.
Is the internal body diode rated for hard commutation in synchronous rectification?
Yes-the device is explicitly validated for robust body diode operation under hard commutation, with measured forward recovery time (tfr) of 29.3 ns and forward recovery charge (Qfr) of 94 nC at 1000 A/µs di/dt, enabling reliable use in totem-pole PFC without external diodes.
Can IMW65R040M2HXKSA1 replace silicon IGBTs in existing 1700 V-class inverter designs?
No-it is rated for 650 V VDSS, not 1700 V. It replaces 650 V silicon MOSFETs or IGBTs in applications like 800 V EV architectures or 1000 V solar string inverters, but requires full system re-evaluation of bus voltage, snubbing, and gate drive for SiC-specific dynamics.
Does this part require negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No-Infineon specifies 0 V as the recommended turn-off gate voltage (VGS(off)). The device is designed to remain fully off at 0 V, with robust immunity to parasitic turn-on even under high dv/dt, eliminating need for negative bias in most industrial applications.
