Infineon Technologies IPA60R800CEXKSA1

Overview

IPA60R800CEXKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 0.8 Ω R_DS(on) CoolMOS™ CE superjunction power MOSFET in PG-TO220FP (FullPAK) package, optimized for high-efficiency, cost-sensitive hard-switching and resonant SMPS stages. It delivers 8.4 A continuous drain current at T_C = 25°C, 17.2 nC total gate charge, and 1.6 µJ output energy at 400 V - enabling compact PFC and main switch designs in LCD TV, PC Silverbox, and indoor lighting.

For engineers reviewing the IPA60R800CEXKSA1 datasheet, IPA60R800CEXKSA1 pinout, IPA60R800CEXKSA1 application, or IPA60R800CEXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.6 °C/W R_thJC, 50 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness, low E_oss, and TO-220FP insulation rating of 2500 V_RMS - critical for reliable high-voltage AC-DC conversion.

Technical Context

This device implements Infineon's CoolMOS™ CE superjunction architecture with optimized charge balance for reduced conduction and switching losses. Its 2.5–3.5 V gate threshold voltage and 5.4 V gate plateau enable robust drive compatibility with standard 12 V gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity.

The integrated body diode exhibits 250 ns reverse recovery time and 1.8 µC Q_rr at 400 V, supporting ZVS operation in LLC resonant converters. Thermal design is anchored by a 4.6 °C/W junction-to-case resistance and 2500 V_RMS isolation - essential for safety-compliant, high-density power supplies.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for IPA60R800CEXKSA1 at 100°C case temperature?

The maximum continuous drain current is 5.3 A at T_C = 100°C, as specified in Table 2 of the Rev. 2.3 datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-220FP package and ensures safe operation under sustained high-temperature conditions without exceeding 150°C junction temperature.

Does IPA60R800CEXKSA1 require a gate resistor for stability in hard-switching applications?

Yes - a gate resistor of 6.8 Ω is used in the datasheet's switching time test circuit (Table 6). For production designs, a 5–10 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing, limit peak gate current, and ensure controlled dv/dt during turn-on/turn-off, especially in high-di/dt PFC stages.

Can IPA60R800CEXKSA1 be paralleled with identical units?

Yes, but with precautions: Infineon recommends ferrite beads on individual gate lines or separate totem-pole drivers to balance dynamic current sharing. Layout symmetry, matched gate loop inductance, and thermal coupling must be carefully controlled to avoid current imbalance and thermal runaway.

What is the rated insulation voltage and how is it verified?

The device is rated for 2500 V_RMS insulation withstand voltage (1 minute, 25°C), measured between drain (tab) and source/lead terminals. This value is confirmed per IEC 60747-17 and applies to the internal dielectric barrier in the FullPAK construction - enabling direct heatsink mounting without external insulators in Class II designs.
