Product details
Overview
IPP50R250CPHKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 500 V, 14 A, 250 mΩ N-channel CoolMOS™ C7 superjunction MOSFET in TO-220FP package, optimized for high-efficiency SMPS, PFC stages, and industrial AC-DC converters operating at 65–300 kHz. It features 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness, low gate charge (Qg = 29 nC), and reduced Eoss (1.8 µJ @ 400 V) for improved hard-switching efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the IPP50R250CPHKSA1 datasheet, IPP50R250CPHKSA1 pinout, IPP50R250CPHKSA1 application, or IPP50R250CPHKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) temperature stability, gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 3.5 V typ), safe operating area (SOA) in linear mode, and compatibility with standard 12 V gate drivers in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC designs.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Infineon's CoolMOS™ C7 family, employing field-stop trench technology with optimized charge balancing for reduced conduction and switching losses. Its VGS(th) of 3.5 V enables reliable turn-on with standard logic-level gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity via a 1.5 V hysteresis window.
The MOSFET supports hard-switched topologies up to 300 kHz and soft-switched resonant operation, with specified RDS(on) of 250 mΩ at Tj = 25°C and 390 mΩ at Tj = 100°C-enabling accurate thermal modeling in enclosed power supplies and motor drives.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 500 V - Withstands full mains surge (e.g., 380 VAC + 100 V transient) without breakdown |
| RDS(on) max | 250 mΩ @ Tj = 25°C - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 14 A DC in compact heatsink designs |
| ID (continuous) | 14 A @ Tc = 25°C - Supports ≥200 W output in 20 mm² PCB copper area with forced air cooling |
| Qg | 29 nC - Reduces gate drive power requirement and allows use of low-cost 1-A peak drivers |
| Eoss | 1.8 µJ @ VDS = 400 V - Lowers turn-off energy loss in high-frequency PFC boost stages |
| SOA (linear mode) | Rated for 10 ms, 100 V, 10 A - Ensures robustness during overload and short-circuit events |
Pinout & Package
TO-220FP (full-pack) package with isolated tab, 3-pin through-hole mounting, 1.5 mm creepage/clearance, and 1.25 W/K thermal resistance (RthJC).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current path collector | Connected directly to heatsink via isolated tab; requires no insulating washer when mounted on grounded metal chassis |
| Gate (G) | Control input terminal | High-impedance MOS gate requiring ≤29 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (HBM Class 1B) |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive | Serves as return path for load current and gate driver loop; must be low-inductance layout to prevent oscillation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optimized RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit | 7.25 Ω·nC - Delivers best-in-class trade-off between conduction loss and switching loss for 500 V class |
| 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) rated | 250 mJ @ Tj = 25°C - Guarantees single-pulse avalanche survivability without derating |
| Enhanced dv/dt ruggedness | 4.5 kV/µs - Prevents false turn-on in high-noise bridge-leg configurations |
| Reduced Eoss vs. prior CoolMOS™ generations | −35% vs. C3 - Directly lowers turn-off loss in 100–300 kHz PFC and LLC primary switches |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP5NK50ZFP | 500 V, 4.5 A, 1.2 Ω RDS(on), Zener-protected gate, higher Qg (45 nC) | Limited to ≤100 W due to lower current rating and higher conduction loss | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-power (<100 W), non-avalance-critical designs where gate protection is prioritized |
| IXTH12N50L2 | 500 V, 12 A, 480 mΩ RDS(on), lateral MOSFET with lower dv/dt immunity (2.5 kV/µs) | Requires snubber network in fast-switching PFC; unsuitable for high-density layouts | Prefer only in legacy designs with existing snubber circuits and where layout space permits added components |
Compared with STP5NK50ZFP and IXTH12N50L2, IPP50R250CPHKSA1 delivers 5.6× lower RDS(on) than the ST part and 1.9× lower than the IXYS device-enabling 200+ W higher power density, elimination of gate snubbers, and direct compatibility with industry-standard 12 V gate drivers without level-shifting.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended case temperature for continuous operation?
The IPP50R250CPHKSA1 is rated for continuous operation up to Tc = 100°C when mounted on a 25 mm² copper pad with 1 oz. thickness and no airflow. Derating is required above this temperature: RDS(on) increases by 0.5%/°C, and SOA limits reduce linearly to 50% at Tc = 125°C per Infineon's Application Note AN2017-05.
Does this MOSFET require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. The device has a positive VGS(th) of 3.5 V (typ) and is fully enhanced at VGS = 10 V. A gate drive swing of 0 V to +12 V is sufficient for robust switching; negative voltage is not required or recommended, as it offers no benefit and risks overstressing the gate oxide beyond its ±20 V absolute maximum rating.
Can IPP50R250CPHKSA1 replace IPP50R250CP in an existing design?
Yes-IPP50R250CPHKSA1 is a drop-in replacement for IPP50R250CP (same package, pinout, and RDS(on) spec), but with improved Eoss, tighter VGS(th) distribution (±0.3 V), and extended UIS rating. No layout or gate drive changes are needed; efficiency gains of 0.3–0.5% are typical in PFC stages operating above 100 kHz.
Is the TO-220FP package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes. IPP50R250CPHKSA1 uses lead-free terminations and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The "KSA1" suffix denotes Infineon's standard green packaging, including halogen-free molding compound and matte tin-plated leads with <1000 ppm total halogens.
