Product details
Overview
IPP26CNE8N G from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in PG-TO220-3 package, rated for 85 V VDS, 35 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 26 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It supports 175 °C junction operation and is optimized for high-frequency switching in DC-DC converters and synchronous rectification in server PSUs.
For engineers reviewing the IPP26CNE8N G datasheet, IPP26CNE8N G pinout, IPP26CNE8N G application, or IPP26CNE8N G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.1 K/W RthJC, 23–31 nC total gate charge, 1560–2070 pF input capacitance, and robust 65 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - all critical for thermal management and switching loss optimization in hard-switched topologies.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-based OptiMOS™2 technology to achieve low gate charge × RDS(on) figure-of-merit (FOM), enabling high-efficiency operation above 100 kHz. Its 5.6 V gate plateau voltage and 19–38 S transconductance support stable drive under varying load and temperature conditions.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode with 85 ns trr, 165 nC Qrr, and 1.0–1.2 V VSD at IF = 35 A, making it suitable for synchronous rectification where reverse recovery behavior directly impacts efficiency and EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 85 V - maximum blocking voltage for 48 V input bus applications with 20 % margin |
| RDS(on), max | 26 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 35 A - enables <1 W conduction loss at full load in 12 V output rails |
| Qg | 23–31 nC - determines gate driver current requirement and switching transition time |
| EAS | 65 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive energy without failure in clamp or flyback circuits |
| tr/tf | 4–6 ns / 3–4 ns - supports >500 kHz switching with minimized overlap loss |
| RthJC | 2.1 K/W - defines minimum heatsink thermal resistance needed to maintain Tj ≤ 175 °C at Ptot = 71 W |
| ID,pulse | 140 A - supports short-term overload and inrush current handling in hot-swap controllers |
Pinout & Package
IPP26CNE8N G uses the PG-TO220-3 package: isolated tab (drain), vertical mounting, through-hole leaded outline with 2.54 mm pin pitch. The drain-connected metal tab provides primary thermal path to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal | Reference node for gate drive; connects to low-side return path and PCB ground plane |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control terminal | High-impedance input requiring <31 nC charge to fully enhance; sensitive to ringing |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Power terminal | Internally connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system design permits common-drain configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| N-channel normal-level logic | Turns on fully at standard 10 V gate drive - compatible with industrial PWM controllers without level-shifting |
| OptiMOS™2 trench process | Delivers 26 mΩ RDS(on) with 23 nC Qg - reduces combined conduction + switching losses by >15 % vs. planar equivalents |
| 175 °C Tj,max | Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating below 125 °C |
| Robust body diode | 85 ns trr and 165 nC Qrr - minimizes reverse recovery spikes and cross-conduction risk in synchronous buck stages |
| Pb-free & halogen-free | Complies with RoHS and IEC61249-2-21 - qualified for automotive and industrial end-equipment without material compliance waivers |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB26CNE8N G | PG-TO263-3 package; 2.1 K/W RthJC identical but lower RthJA due to surface-mount thermal pad | Better suited for space-constrained, high-density PCB layouts with thermal vias | Select for automated assembly and improved thermal performance on multilayer boards |
| IPI26CNE8N G | PG-TO262-3 package; same RDS(on) and Qg, but 2.5 K/W RthJC due to smaller tab area | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial drives where manual heatsink mounting is acceptable | Select when mechanical retention and serviceability outweigh thermal optimization needs |
Compared with IPB26CNE8N G and IPI26CNE8N G, IPP26CNE8N G offers superior heatsink interface reliability via TO-220's isolated tab and highest mechanical robustness for field-serviceable systems, while maintaining identical electrical FOM across the OptiMOS™2 family.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IPP26CNE8N G?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V per datasheet Rev. 1.07. Operation beyond ±15 V risks permanent gate oxide damage, while drive below 4.5 V may result in incomplete enhancement and elevated RDS(on). Recommended gate drive is 10–12 V for optimal conduction loss and safe margin against transients.
Does IPP26CNE8N G require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a 1.6 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for switching characterization. This value damps gate oscillation, controls dV/dt during turn-on/off, and limits peak gate current to <20 A. Lower values increase switching speed but raise EMI risk; higher values slow transitions and increase switching loss.
Can IPP26CNE8N G be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (increasing with Tj) enables inherent current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched layout, identical gate drive paths, and thermal coupling to ensure uniform heating. Derating to 80 % of total rated current per device is recommended for reliability.
Is IPP26CNE8N G suitable for linear mode operation?
No - it is not characterized or qualified for linear (saturation) mode. Safe Operating Area (SOA) curves show limited DC capability: at VDS = 20 V, maximum continuous ID is ~12 A. Linear use risks thermal runaway due to localized hotspot formation outside SOA boundaries.
