Product details
Overview
IMZC120R012M2HXKSA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 12 mΩ silicon carbide MOSFET in PG-TO247-4-U07 package with Kelvin source sensing, rated for 91 A DC at TC = 100°C and short-circuit withstand time of 2 µs at VGS(on) = 15 V. It features robust body diode operation, 4.2 V gate threshold voltage, and .XT interconnection technology for enhanced thermal performance in high-frequency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the IMZC120R012M2HXKSA1 datasheet, IMZC120R012M2HXKSA1 pinout, IMZC120R012M2HXKSA1 application, or IMZC120R012M2HXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) temperature stability, gate drive compatibility with Infineon's 1EDN/1EDS families, Kelvin-source layout requirements, and hard-commutation capability in bidirectional topologies.
Technical Context
This CoolSiC™ G2 device uses trench-gate SiC MOSFET architecture with integrated Kelvin source terminal to decouple gate-loop inductance from power loop, enabling precise gate control and minimizing dynamic RDS(on) overshoot during fast switching. Its 1200 V blocking rating and 200°C overload junction temperature support operation in high-voltage DC-link applications up to 1000 V bus.
The MOSFET delivers low stored output charge (QOSS = 275 nC) and energy-related effective output capacitance (CO(er) = 231 pF), enabling high-efficiency operation at 100–200 kHz in totem-pole PFC and three-level NPC inverters. Body diode forward recovery charge (QFR) is characterized at 0.2 µC (TVJ = 25°C), supporting reliable unidirectional freewheeling without external anti-parallel Si diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 1200 V - Enables use in 1000 V DC-link systems with 20% margin for transient overvoltage. |
| RDS(on) | 12 mΩ @ VGS = 18 V, TVJ = 25°C - Delivers <1.1 W conduction loss at 91 A, critical for high-power density designs. |
| IDDC | 91 A @ TC = 100°C - Supports continuous operation in compact heatsinked modules without forced air. |
| tSC | 2 µs @ VDD ≤ 800 V, VGS(on) = 15 V - Allows robust short-circuit protection with standard gate driver response times. |
| VGS(th) | 4.2 V (typ.) - Reduces risk of parasitic turn-on while maintaining sufficient noise margin vs. 3.3 V logic interfaces. |
| QG | 124 nC - Determines gate drive power requirement (~1.9 W at 100 kHz, 18 V swing) for selected driver ICs. |
| EON + EOFF | 942 µJ @ TVJ = 25°C - Enables >98% efficiency in 10 kW totem-pole PFC stages operating at 150 kHz. |
Pinout & Package
IMZC120R012M2HXKSA1 uses the PG-TO247-4-U07 package - a 4-pin variant of TO-247 with isolated Kelvin source terminal (Pin 3) for accurate gate drive referencing, separate from main source (Pin 2). This configuration reduces gate loop inductance by >50% versus standard 3-pin TO-247, suppressing Miller-induced oscillations in hard-switched converters.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Drain | Main high-side power terminal | Connected to DC-link positive or bridge-leg node; carries full load current and withstands full VDSS. |
| 2 – Source | Main low-side power return path | Carries full load current to ground/negative rail; must be routed with low-inductance copper pour. |
| 3 – Kelvin Sense Contact | Gate reference point for source potential | Provides dedicated low-current path to gate driver return, eliminating source inductance impact on VGS control. |
| 4 – Gate | Control input for channel modulation | Receives gate drive signal; requires tight coupling to Pin 3 (Kelvin source) to maintain stable turn-on/turn-off behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| .XT interconnection technology | Reduces thermal resistance Rth(j-c) to 0.24 K/W, enabling 240 W power dissipation at TC = 100°C without derating. |
| Kelvin source sensing (4-pin) | Eliminates source inductance effects on gate control, allowing stable 100+ V/ns dV/dt operation without external gate clamping. |
| Robust body diode | Rated for hard commutation with QFR = 0.2 µC and IFRM = 31.7 A (TVJ = 25°C), enabling body-diode-based ZVS in LLC resonant converters. |
| Short-circuit withstand time | 2 µs at VGS(on) = 15 V allows integration with Infineon's 1EDN751x drivers featuring programmable DESAT blanking and fault reporting. |
| Overload junction temperature | 200°C (cumulative 100 h) supports temporary overload conditions in UPS and welding inverters without permanent degradation. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3M0015120K | RDS(on) = 15 mΩ, same 1200 V rating, TO-247-4L package, no Kelvin sense - higher gate loop inductance. | Limited to lower dV/dt (<50 V/ns) and lower switching frequency (<80 kHz) due to lack of Kelvin source. | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs need for ultra-fast switching or high-reliability gate control. |
| STW48N120K5 | RDS(on) = 14.5 mΩ, 1200 V, TO-247-4 package with Kelvin source, but higher QG (145 nC) and longer tSC (3 µs). | Requires stronger gate driver (≥4 A peak) and longer DESAT blanking time, limiting use in compact multi-phase PFC. | Selected when extended short-circuit immunity is prioritized over minimal gate drive loss. |
Compared with C3M0015120K and STW48N120K5, IMZC120R012M2HXKSA1 offers the lowest RDS(on), shortest tSC, and optimized .XT thermal interface - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-frequency, high-reliability industrial power converters where gate control fidelity and thermal headroom are critical.

FAQ
What gate driver is recommended for IMZC120R012M2HXKSA1?
Infineon recommends the 1EDN7512x or 1EDS70xx families - single-channel isolated gate drivers with 4 A peak output, DESAT protection, and active Miller clamp. These drivers support the required ±5 V to 0 V turn-off range and provide dedicated Kelvin source return paths compatible with the 4-pin layout.
Can the Kelvin source and main source pins be tied together?
No - the Kelvin source (Pin 3) and main source (Pin 2) are electrically isolated within the package and serve distinct functions. Connecting them defeats the purpose of Kelvin sensing, reintroduces source inductance into the gate loop, and risks unstable switching or destructive oscillation during high di/dt events.
Is IMZC120R012M2HXKSA1 qualified for automotive applications?
No - this part is qualified per JEDEC JESD47/JESD22 for industrial applications only. It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, automotive-grade screening, and extended temperature validation beyond 175°C junction, and is not approved for use in vehicle powertrain or ADAS systems.
What is the maximum allowable gate voltage during transient conditions?
The absolute maximum transient gate-source voltage is -10 V to +25 V for pulse widths ≤ 0.5 µs (duty cycle < 1%). For static operation, the limit is -7 V to +23 V. Exceeding these values risks irreversible gate oxide damage, especially at elevated junction temperatures.
