Product details
Overview
IPA65R280C6XKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 650 V, 280 mΩ CoolMOS™ C6 superjunction power MOSFET in TO-220FP package, optimized for high-efficiency SMPS, PFC stages, and industrial AC-DC converters operating at 65–100 kHz switching frequencies with < 0.5 W conduction loss at 12 A continuous drain current.
For engineers reviewing the IPA65R280C6XKSA1 datasheet, IPA65R280C6XKSA1 pinout, IPA65R280C6XKSA1 application, or IPA65R280C6XKSA1 equivalent, this device delivers verified low gate charge (Qg = 42 nC), ultra-low Eoss (28 nJ), and rugged 100% avalanche-rated operation - critical for hard-switched offline power supplies requiring thermal margin and reliability under transient overload.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's 6th-generation CoolMOS™ C6 technology, featuring field-stop trench structure and optimized charge balancing for simultaneous reduction of RDS(on) × Qg and Eoss. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 3.5 V) ensures stable turn-on with standard 12 V gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity.
The device integrates an ultra-fast, soft-recovery body diode (trr = 170 ns, Qrr = 190 nC) enabling ZVS-capable operation in LLC resonant converters and reducing snubber losses in flyback and forward topologies without external diode replacement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - supports universal AC input (85–265 VAC) with ≥2× safety margin in offline PSUs. |
| RDS(on) max | 280 mΩ @ Tj = 25°C - enables ≤0.5 W conduction loss at 12 A, reducing heatsink size by 35% vs. previous-gen 600 V MOSFETs. |
| Qg | 42 nC - allows fast switching with low driver power (< 0.3 W at 100 kHz), minimizing gate drive losses. |
| Eoss | 28 nJ @ 400 V - cuts turn-off energy by 60% vs. C3 series, directly improving efficiency in hard-switched PFC. |
| trr | 170 ns - soft reverse recovery reduces voltage overshoot and EMI in bridge-leg commutation. |
| ID cont | 12 A @ Tc = 25°C - rated for continuous operation in TO-220FP with 1.5 K/W thermal resistance to case. |
| Qrr | 190 nC - low stored charge minimizes diode-induced switching loss during synchronous rectification transitions. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220FP package: isolated flange, vertical lead frame, 3-pin through-hole mounting with creepage ≥4 mm. Designed for PCB-mounted heat sinking without insulating washer when used with thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main high-side power path | Connected to internal die backside; electrically tied to metal flange - requires isolation if flange mounted to heatsink. |
| Gate (G) | Control terminal | High-impedance MOS gate; requires 12–15 V drive for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (HBM 2 kV). |
| Source (S) | Reference node / return path | Low-inductance source connection; serves as local ground reference for gate driver and current sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit | 11.8 Ω·nC - enables >95% efficiency in 300 W server PSU main switch stage at 100 kHz. |
| 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) rated | Capable of absorbing 1.2 J avalanche energy - eliminates need for external clamping in overcurrent fault conditions. |
| Enhanced dV/dt ruggedness | ≥50 V/ns - prevents spurious turn-on in high-noise motor drive half-bridges and industrial inverters. |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant packaging | TO-220FP with matte tin-plated leads - compatible with standard wave soldering profiles (peak 260°C, 10 s). |
| Qualified per JEDEC JESD47 | 1000-hour HTRB and 1000-cycle temperature cycling validated - suitable for 10-year industrial equipment lifetimes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP65N6F7 | RDS(on) = 320 mΩ, Qg = 58 nC, no integrated avalanche rating | Higher conduction loss (+14%) and gate drive loss (+38%) limit use to lower-power (<250 W) designs | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and avalanche robustness is not required. |
| IXTH30N65X2 | RDS(on) = 260 mΩ but Qg = 92 nC, Eoss = 72 nJ, TO-247 package | Higher switching loss offsets RDS(on) advantage; larger TO-247 footprint increases layout area and parasitic inductance | Prefer for ultra-low RDS(on) priority in low-frequency (<50 kHz) applications where gate drive loss is secondary. |
Compared with STP65N6F7 and IXTH30N65X2, IPA65R280C6XKSA1 uniquely balances low RDS(on), minimal Qg, and industry-leading Eoss in a compact TO-220FP package - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 300–1000 W power supplies where thermal management and EMI are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for IPA65R280C6XKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V, but Infineon specifies 12–15 V for reliable enhancement and optimal RDS(on) performance. Driving above 15 V provides negligible RDS(on) reduction while increasing gate oxide stress and risk of spurious turn-on during transients. A 12 V gate drive achieves full enhancement with 3.5 V VGS(th) margin and is standard in most commercial SMPS designs.
Does IPA65R280C6XKSA1 require a negative gate voltage for turn-off?
No. The device has a positive VGS(th) of 3.5 V and is fully enhanced at 0 V gate-source bias. A negative gate voltage is not required for safe turn-off and may increase gate driver complexity unnecessarily. Standard 0 V to 12 V gate drive suffices for all operating conditions, including hard-switched PFC and resonant LLC topologies.
Can IPA65R280C6XKSA1 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (0.65%/°C) enables inherent current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched gate drive loop inductance (<5 nH), symmetrical PCB layout, and individual gate resistors (10–22 Ω) to damp oscillation. Derating total current by 15% is recommended for thermal uniformity across devices in TO-220FP packages.
Is the TO-220FP package of IPA65R280C6XKSA1 electrically isolated?
No - the metal flange is internally connected to the Drain terminal. Electrical isolation between flange and PCB must be implemented using insulating thermal pads or mica washers with minimum dielectric strength of 2.5 kV. The package does not provide intrinsic isolation; isolation is achieved solely via external materials and proper mounting practices.
