Product details

Overview

IPD50R520CP from Infineon Technologies is a 500 V, 0.52 Ω R_DS(on) CoolMOS™ CP superjunction power MOSFET in PG-TO252 (DPAK) package, optimized for hard- and soft-switching SMPS topologies with ultra-low gate charge (13 nC typ), extreme dv/dt ruggedness (50 V/ns), and high peak current capability (15 A pulsed). It delivers high efficiency in lamp ballast PFC and LCD TV PWM stages.

For engineers reviewing the IPD50R520CP datasheet, IPD50R520CP pinout, IPD50R520CP application, or IPD50R520CP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500 V V_(BR)DSS, 7.1 A continuous drain current at T_C = 25 °C, 1.9 K/W R_thJC, 0.9–1.2 V diode forward voltage, and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial lighting and consumer power supplies.

Technical Context

This device employs Infineon's CoolMOS™ CP trench-gate superjunction architecture to achieve low R_DS(on) × Q_g figure of merit (0.52 Ω × 13 nC), enabling reduced conduction and switching losses in high-frequency converters. Its 50 V/ns dv/dt rating and 166 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy support robust operation under transient overvoltage and inductive switching stress.

The integrated fast-recovery body diode (t_rr = 240 ns, Q_rr = 1.6 µC) enables reliable operation in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) PFC and resonant topologies without external diode supplementation. Thermal resistance R_thJC = 1.9 K/W ensures effective heat transfer to PCB copper in surface-mount applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 500 V superjunction MOSFET applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STP5NK50ZFP	R_DS(on) = 0.95 Ω, Q_g = 17 nC, R_thJC = 2.5 K/W	Higher conduction loss and lower switching speed; suited for <100 kHz designs	Prefer where gate drive strength is limited and thermal margin exceeds 20 K/W
IPP50R520CP	Same die, TO-220 package, identical R_DS(on)/Q_g, R_thJC = 0.8 K/W	Requires through-hole mounting and heatsink; higher thermal performance but larger footprint	Choose when board space allows and junction temperature must stay <125 °C at >10 W dissipation

Compared with STP5NK50ZFP, IPD50R520CP delivers 45% lower conduction loss and faster switching; versus IPP50R520CP, it trades 2.4× higher R_thJC for 60% smaller PCB area and simplified assembly.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for IPD50R520CP at 100 °C case temperature?

The maximum continuous drain current I_D is 4.5 A at T_C = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation capability at elevated case temperatures, and assumes proper PCB copper area and ambient airflow per JEDEC Std. 51-14.

Does IPD50R520CP require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?

No. The device has a gate threshold voltage V_GS(th) of 2.5–3.5 V and is fully enhanced at V_GS = 10 V. A gate drive of 0 V is sufficient for turn-off; applying –5 V is unnecessary and not recommended per datasheet guidelines.

Can IPD50R520CP be used in synchronous rectification applications?

No. Its body diode is optimized for PFC and hard-switching, not bidirectional conduction. The reverse recovery characteristics (t_rr = 240 ns, Q_rr = 1.6 µC) and lack of dedicated SR control logic make it unsuitable for synchronous rectifier roles where low Q_rr and fast t_f are mandatory.

What is the recommended gate resistor value for 100 kHz hard-switching operation?

A 10 Ω gate resistor is recommended for 100 kHz hard-switching with a 1-A gate driver, balancing switching speed (t_r ≈ 14 ns, t_f ≈ 17 ns) and EMI suppression. Lower values increase dv/dt stress; higher values raise switching losses beyond 0.3 W at 100 kHz and 3.8 A.
