Infineon Technologies IPW60R280P6FKSA1

Overview

IPW60R280P6 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 280 mΩ superjunction N-channel power MOSFET in the CoolMOS™ P6 family, optimized for high-efficiency hard-switching and resonant topologies. It delivers 13.8 A continuous drain current at T_C = 25°C, 26 nC total gate charge, and 3.5 µJ output energy loss at 400 V - enabling compact, cooler-running PFC and SMPS stages in server PSUs and telecom rectifiers.

For engineers reviewing the IPW60R280P6 datasheet, IPW60R280P6 pinout, IPW60R280P6 application, or IPW60R280P6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness, 500 A/µs body diode commutation capability, low R_DS(on) × Q_g figure-of-merit, and TO-247 package thermal performance (R_thJC = 1.2 °C/W).

Technical Context

This device implements Infineon's superjunction architecture with optimized charge balancing for reduced conduction and switching losses. Its gate threshold voltage (3.5–4.5 V) and plateau voltage (6.1 V) support standard 12 V gate drivers without level-shifting, while the 5.5 Ω intrinsic gate resistance aids EMI control.

The MOSFET features enhanced avalanche ruggedness (E_AS = 285 mJ), 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and JEDEC industrial-grade qualification. Its body diode exhibits 263 ns reverse recovery time and 2.8 µC Q_rr, making it suitable for ZVS and quasi-resonant designs where diode behavior impacts efficiency.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for IPW60R280P6 at 100°C case temperature?

The maximum continuous drain current is 8.8 A at T_C = 100°C, as specified in Table 2 of the Rev. 2.2 datasheet. This value accounts for thermal derating due to junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.2 °C/W) and maximum allowable junction temperature (150°C). Operation above this current requires forced cooling or reduced duty cycle to maintain safe T_j.

Can IPW60R280P6 be used in parallel configurations?

Yes, but with specific layout requirements: each device requires individual gate resistor + ferrite bead (or separate totem-pole drivers) to suppress oscillation and ensure current sharing. The datasheet explicitly recommends this approach for paralleling, citing mismatch in threshold voltage and dynamic parameters that could cause thermal runaway without proper gate control.

Does IPW60R280P6 have a fully rated avalanche capability?

Yes - it is rated for 285 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (E_AS) under defined test conditions (I_D = 2.4 A, V_DD = 50 V). This capability is production-tested and guaranteed per JEDEC JESD22-A110, enabling robust operation during transient overvoltage events such as inductive load switching or input surges without external clamping.

Is the TO-247 package tab electrically isolated?

No - the metal tab is internally connected to the drain terminal, as confirmed in the "Package Outlines" section and pin assignment diagram (Pin 2 = Tab = Drain). Electrical isolation from the heatsink requires a dielectric pad or insulating washer; failure to isolate may result in short-circuit if the heatsink is grounded or at a different potential.
