Infineon Technologies IPAW60R280CEXKSA1

Overview

IPAW60R280CEXKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 280 mΩ superjunction MOSFET in TO-220 FullPAK wide-creepage package, optimized for high-efficiency PFC and hard-switching PWM stages in consumer power supplies and indoor lighting. It delivers 19.3 A continuous drain current at 25°C, 43 nC total gate charge, and 3.7 µJ output energy at 400 V, with 4.25 mm lead creepage for enhanced isolation.

For engineers reviewing the IPAW60R280CEXKSA1 datasheet, IPAW60R280CEXKSA1 pinout, IPAW60R280CEXKSA1 application, or IPAW60R280CEXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include R_DS(on) vs. temperature stability, E_oss-driven switching loss trade-offs, dv/dt ruggedness (50 V/ns), and gate drive simplicity enabled by low Q_gd/Q_g ratio and 5.4 V plateau voltage.

Technical Context

This CoolMOS™ CE device implements a superjunction structure enabling high-voltage blocking (650 V max) with low conduction loss (R_DS(on) = 280 mΩ @ T_j = 25°C) and fast switching (t_r = 9 ns, t_f = 9 ns). Its 43 nC gate charge and 22 nC Q_gd support efficient hard-switching operation while maintaining robustness against parasitic turn-on.

The integrated body diode exhibits 345 ns reverse recovery time and 4.5 µC Q_rr at 400 V, supporting resonant topologies. Thermal resistance R_thJC = 3.9 °C/W enables 32 W power dissipation at T_C = 25°C, with 150 °C maximum junction temperature rating and 4.25 mm wide creepage for reinforced insulation compliance.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for IPAW60R280CEXKSA1 at 100°C case temperature?

The maximum continuous drain current is 12.2 A at T_C = 100°C, as specified in Table 2 of the 2016 datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-220 FullPAK package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature under sustained load conditions.

Does IPAW60R280CEXKSA1 have an integrated body diode, and what are its key recovery characteristics?

Yes, it features a monolithic body diode with 345 ns reverse recovery time (t_rr) and 4.5 µC reverse recovery charge (Q_rr) at V_R = 400 V, I_F = 6.5 A, and di_F/dt = 100 A/µs. These values enable reliable operation in QR flyback and LLC resonant converters without external diode supplementation.

Can IPAW60R280CEXKSA1 be paralleled with identical units, and what layout precautions are required?

Yes, parallel operation is supported but requires individual gate resistors and ferrite beads on each gate line to suppress oscillation and ensure current sharing. The datasheet explicitly recommends this approach due to inherent parameter spread and gate loop inductance sensitivity in high-speed switching configurations.

Is the TO-220 FullPAK package of IPAW60R280CEXKSA1 electrically isolated between drain and tab?

No-the metal tab is internally connected to Pin 1 (Gate), not Drain. Drain is on Pin 2, and the tab must be mounted with electrical isolation (e.g., insulating pad + shoulder washer) to avoid shorting gate to heatsink. This configuration differs from standard TO-220 where the tab is typically Drain.
