Product details

Overview

IPP50R380CE from Infineon Technologies is a 500 V, 0.38 Ω R_DS(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 T_C = 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 (R_DS(on) × Q_g), high commutation ruggedness (500 A/µs di/dt), 550 V V_DS rating at T_j,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 R_DS(on) at 150°C, and 24.8 nC Q_g 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 Q_rr 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 R_DS(on) and voltage rating, but CoolMOS™ C7 platform; 12% lower Q_g (21.8 nC) and 20% lower E_oss (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 R_DS(on) (0.95 Ω), higher Q_g (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 Q_g and E_oss. 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 t_rr and 1.7 µC Q_rr, 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 (R_thJC) and how should it be used in heatsink design?

R_thJC 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., (T_j,max − T_amb) / P_diss). At 98 W P_tot, this leaves ~0.7 °C/W for heatsink + interface combined at 25°C ambient.
