Product details
Overview
IPP50R380CE from Infineon Technologies is a 500 V, 0.38 Ω RDS(on), TO-220 packaged CoolMOS™ CE superjunction power MOSFET optimized for high-efficiency PFC and hard-switching PWM stages in PC Silverbox, LCD/PDP TV, and lighting power supplies. It delivers 14.1 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, 24.8 nC total gate charge, and 2.54 µJ output energy at 400 V.
For engineers reviewing the IPP50R380CE datasheet, IPP50R380CE pinout, IPP50R380CE application, or IPP50R380CE equivalent, key selection criteria include its low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg), high commutation ruggedness (500 A/µs di/dt), 550 V VDS rating at Tj,max, and industrial-grade JEDEC qualification.
Technical Context
This CoolMOS™ CE device implements a superjunction structure enabling simultaneous reduction of conduction and switching losses. Its 500 V V(BR)DSS, 0.38 Ω max RDS(on) at 150°C, and 24.8 nC Qg support high-frequency operation in resonant and hard-switched topologies without sacrificing drive simplicity.
The integrated body diode features 207 ns reverse recovery time and 1.7 µC Qrr at 400 V, enabling robust performance in continuous conduction mode PFC. Its 50 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness and 173 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy ensure reliability under transient stress.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage superjunction MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP50R380CP | Same RDS(on) and voltage rating, but CoolMOS™ C7 platform; 12% lower Qg (21.8 nC) and 20% lower Eoss (2.02 µJ) | Better suited for >150 kHz resonant topologies where gate charge dominates loss | Select when optimizing for ultra-high-frequency ZVS/ZCS operation and lowest possible driver loss |
| STP5NK50ZFP | Zener-protected superjunction MOSFET; higher RDS(on) (0.95 Ω), higher Qg (42 nC), no industrial qualification | Limited to consumer-grade, lower-power (<100 W) applications with relaxed reliability requirements | Consider only for cost-sensitive, non-industrial designs where 500 V rating and basic functionality suffice |
Compared with IPP50R380CP, the CE variant trades minor switching loss for broader drive compatibility and mature production stability; versus STP5NK50ZFP, it delivers 2.5× lower conduction loss and full industrial qualification-critical for commercial lighting and industrial adapters.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching?
The datasheet specifies RG = 3.4 Ω for dynamic characterization. For stable operation, use 2.2–4.7 Ω in series with the gate driver output. Values above 10 Ω increase switching time and loss; below 1.5 Ω may cause gate oscillation due to PCB inductance and device capacitance interaction.
Can IPP50R380CE replace IPP50R380C7 in an existing design?
Yes, with caution: both share identical pinout, package, and voltage/current ratings, but the C7 has lower Qg and Eoss. Gate drive strength and snubber design may require verification. Thermal performance is nearly identical, but C7 offers ~5% higher efficiency at >100 kHz.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification?
No-the body diode has 207 ns trr and 1.7 µC Qrr, making it unsuitable for synchronous rectification. It is designed for freewheeling in PFC and half-bridge topologies, not high-frequency bidirectional conduction. External Schottky or MOSFET synchronous rectifiers are required.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) and how should it be used in heatsink design?
RthJC is 1.27 °C/W (max). To size a heatsink, subtract junction-to-case and interface material resistances from the total allowable thermal resistance (e.g., (Tj,max − Tamb) / Pdiss). At 98 W Ptot, this leaves ~0.7 °C/W for heatsink + interface combined at 25°C ambient.
