Infineon Technologies IPAW60R380CEXKSA1

Overview

IPAW60R380CEXKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 380 mΩ superjunction MOSFET in TO-220 FullPAK package with wide creepage (4.25 mm), optimized for high-efficiency PFC and hard-switching PWM stages in consumer power supplies and indoor lighting. It delivers 15 A continuous drain current, 32 nC total gate charge, and 2.8 µJ output switching energy at 400 V.

For engineers reviewing the IPAW60R380CEXKSA1 datasheet, IPAW60R380CEXKSA1 pinout, IPAW60R380CEXKSA1 application, or IPAW60R380CEXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include R_DS(on) vs. temperature stability, E_oss-driven light-load efficiency, dv/dt ruggedness in bridge configurations, and gate drive simplicity in cost-sensitive AC/DC designs.

Technical Context

This CoolMOS™ CE device implements a superjunction cell structure enabling low R_DS(on) × Q_g figure-of-merit (FOM) of 12.16 Ω·nC and ultra-low E_oss (2.8 µJ @ 400 V), directly reducing conduction and turn-off losses in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC. Its 50 V/ns MOSFET dv/dt ruggedness and 15 V_GS max rating support robust operation in noisy high-voltage node environments.

The integrated body diode exhibits 290 ns reverse recovery time and 3.3 µC Q_rr, enabling reliable operation in quasi-resonant flyback and LLC topologies without external snubbing. Thermal resistance R_thJC is 4 °C/W, allowing 31 W power dissipation at T_C = 25 °C in FullPAK configuration.

FAQ

Is IPAW60R380CEXKSA1 suitable for paralleling in high-current PFC designs?

Yes, but with specific layout constraints: gate traces must be individually routed with matched length and impedance, and ferrite beads (≥100 Ω @ 100 MHz) are required on each gate line to suppress oscillation. Parallel operation increases current capability to 30 A, but thermal coupling between devices must be minimized using separate heatsink zones or thermal vias.

What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for stable switching at 100 kHz?

A gate resistor of 3.4 Ω is validated in the datasheet for 400 V, 4.8 A switching with 13 V drive; for 100 kHz operation, increase to 5.6 Ω to limit peak gate current to <2 A while maintaining <20 ns rise/fall times. Exceeding 10 Ω risks incomplete turn-on at high temperature due to V_GS(th) drift.

Does the wide creepage feature eliminate the need for conformal coating in humid environments?

No-wide creepage (4.25 mm) satisfies clearance requirements per IEC 62368-1 under pollution degree 2, but conformal coating remains necessary for protection against condensation, dust ingress, or salt mist in outdoor or industrial enclosures. The package itself does not provide environmental sealing.

Can this MOSFET replace older CoolMOS™ C3 devices in existing designs?

Yes, with minor gate drive tuning: V_GS(th) is 2.5–3.5 V (vs. 2.0–3.0 V for C3), so gate drive voltage should be confirmed ≥12 V to ensure full enhancement. R_DS(on) and Q_g are nearly identical, enabling drop-in replacement in most PFC and SMPS designs without layout changes.
