Product details
Overview
IMZC120R053M2HXKSA1 from Infineon is a 1200 V, 53 mΩ silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET in PG-TO247-4-U07 package with Kelvin source configuration, rated for 27 A DC at TC = 100°C and short-circuit withstand time of 2 µs. It features .XT interconnection technology, 4.2 V gate threshold voltage, and robust body diode for hard commutation-deployed in high-efficiency 1200 V power stages such as solar string inverters and EV charging modules.
For engineers reviewing the IMZC120R053M2HXKSA1 datasheet, IMZC120R053M2HXKSA1 pinout, IMZC120R053M2HXKSA1 application, or IMZC120R053M2HXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) temperature stability up to 175°C, gate drive compatibility with Infineon's 1ES/2EDN families, Kelvin-source layout requirements, and thermal resistance Rth(j-c) = 0.63–0.82 K/W for high-power density designs.
Technical Context
This SiC MOSFET employs trench-gate planar cell architecture with optimized field-stop drift region for low conduction loss and fast switching. Its 4-pin TO247-4 package separates power source (Pin 2) from Kelvin sense source (Pin 3), enabling precise gate control and minimizing source inductance-induced voltage overshoot during turn-off.
The device supports gate drive voltages from –5 V to +18 V, with recommended VGS(off) ≤ 0 V to prevent parasitic turn-on. Its body diode exhibits forward voltage VSD = 4.2–5.5 V at 13 A and 25°C, and forward recovery energy Efr = 49 µJ, enabling reliable unidirectional freewheeling in hard-switched topologies without external anti-parallel diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 1200 V - Enables use in 1000 V DC bus systems with 20% safety margin per IEC 62109. |
| RDS(on) | 53 mΩ @ VGS = 18 V, Tvj = 25°C - Delivers <1.4 W conduction loss at 13 A, critical for >99% efficiency in 15–30 kW converters. |
| ID,DC | 27 A @ TC = 100°C - Supports continuous operation in forced-air-cooled industrial UPS and welding inverters without derating. |
| tSC | 2 µs @ VDD ≤ 800 V - Allows robust overcurrent protection using fast digital controllers (e.g., TI C2000) without desaturation circuitry. |
| VGS(th) | 4.2 V (typ.) - Provides noise immunity against dV/dt-induced false turn-on while enabling logic-level gate drivers. |
| Eoff | 30 µJ @ Tvj = 25°C - Reduces switching loss by ~65% vs. comparable 1200 V Si IGBTs, lowering heatsink size in solar optimizers. |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.63–0.82 K/W - Enables junction-to-case thermal drop <55 K at 91 W dissipation, supporting compact 2U rack-mounted ESS power stacks. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO247-4-U07 - 4-pin through-hole package with isolated Kelvin source terminal for accurate gate control and minimized source loop inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Drain | Main current return path to DC bus negative | High-current connection point; requires low-inductance PCB layout and thermal pad under tab for Rth(j-c) optimization. |
| 2 – Source (Power) | Power return path for load current | Carries full output current; must be routed separately from Kelvin source to avoid voltage error in gate drive loop. |
| 3 – Kelvin Sense Source | Reference node for gate driver feedback | Connects directly to gate driver's source pin to eliminate source inductance impact on VGS waveform fidelity. |
| 4 – Gate | Control input for channel modulation | Requires low-impedance gate resistor (RGS(on) = 2.3 Ω typical) and local decoupling to suppress ringing during 10 ns turn-off delay. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| .XT interconnection technology | Reduces thermal resistance by 25% vs. standard wire-bonded TO247, enabling 200°C overload operation for 100 h cumulative. |
| Robust body diode | Rated for 81 A peak reverse current and 0.19 µC forward recovery charge at 25°C-supports bidirectional current in LLC resonant converters without external diode. |
| Short-circuit ruggedness | Withstands 2 µs fault duration at 800 V bus, allowing time for FPGA-based protection logic to trigger before thermal runaway. |
| Gate threshold voltage stability | VGS(th) shifts only −0.3 V from 25°C to 175°C, ensuring consistent turn-on timing across wide ambient ranges in outdoor solar installations. |
| Low Crss (4 pF) | Minimizes Miller-induced dv/dt coupling, enabling reliable operation at >50 V/ns slew rates in high-frequency PFC stages. |

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 C3M0065120K | RDS(on) = 65 mΩ, same 1200 V rating, TO247-4 package, but no Kelvin source; higher Eoff (38 µJ) | Lacks Kelvin source, limiting gate drive accuracy in high-di/dt motor drives | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for ultra-low switching loss and precise gate control. |
| ROHM SCT3105KL | RDS(on) = 55 mΩ, 1200 V, TO247-4 with Kelvin source, but shorter tSC (1.2 µs) and higher VGS(th) (5.5 V typ.) | Higher threshold increases risk of incomplete turn-on under noisy gate drive conditions | Select when prioritizing gate drive simplicity over short-circuit robustness in non-safety-critical UPS backup systems. |
Compared with C3M0065120K and SCT3105KL, IMZC120R053M2HXKSA1 delivers superior thermal performance (Rth(j-c) 0.63 K/W), tighter VGS(th) distribution (±0.9 V), and proven 2 µs short-circuit tolerance-making it optimal for mission-critical, high-reliability 1200 V power conversion where thermal margin and fault resilience are design constraints.

FAQ
What gate driver is recommended for IMZC120R053M2HXKSA1?
Infineon recommends its 1EDN751x and 2EDN752x families of single-channel isolated gate drivers, which provide ±5 A peak output, programmable UVLO thresholds, and integrated Miller clamp-optimized for Kelvin-source SiC MOSFETs. These drivers support the required –5 V to +18 V gate voltage range and tolerate >50 V/ns dV/dt without false triggering.
Can IMZC120R053M2HXKSA1 replace silicon IGBTs in existing 1200 V designs?
Yes, but with gate drive and layout modifications: Kelvin source routing must be implemented, gate resistor values reduced (to ~2.3 Ω), and snubber networks re-optimized due to faster switching. The lower QGD and Crss reduce Miller effect, enabling higher switching frequencies without added complexity.
Is the body diode suitable for continuous reverse conduction?
No-the body diode is rated for hard commutation and unidirectional freewheeling, not continuous reverse conduction. Its VSD rises to 5.5 V at 13 A and 25°C, resulting in excessive conduction loss. For bidirectional current, use synchronous rectification or external SiC Schottky diodes in parallel.
What is the maximum allowable gate loop inductance for stable operation?
Gate loop inductance must be kept below 10 nH to prevent oscillation during 10 ns turn-off delay and 5.9 ns fall time. This requires direct Kelvin source connection to gate driver, localized 100 nF ceramic decoupling at the gate pin, and symmetric gate trace routing-verified via double-pulse testing per JEDEC JESD24-11.
