Product details
Overview
IRD3CH82DF6 from Infineon Technologies is a 650 V, 82 A, 1.7 mΩ silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diode in a TO-247-3L package, designed for high-frequency, high-efficiency power conversion in PFC and output rectification stages of industrial SMPS and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRD3CH82DF6 datasheet, IRD3CH82DF6 pinout, IRD3CH82DF6 application, or IRD3CH82DF6 equivalent, key selection criteria include its zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 0), low forward voltage (VF = 1.5 V @ 82 A), thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.22 K/W), and suitability for hard-switched 100 kHz–500 kHz topologies.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode operates with unipolar conduction and no minority-carrier storage, eliminating reverse recovery losses and enabling clean turn-off under high di/dt conditions. Its junction temperature rating of 175 °C supports compact thermal design in high-power-density systems.
The device features a planar die structure with field-stop termination and metal-silicon carbide Schottky barrier contact. It is rated for repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 650 V and continuous forward current (IF(AV)) of 82 A at TC = 135 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 650 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; enables use in 400 V DC-link PFC and 600 V bus inverters. |
| IF(AV) | 82 A @ TC = 135 °C - Continuous forward current capability at heatsink-mounted case temperature. |
| VF | 1.5 V @ IF = 82 A, TJ = 150 °C - Low conduction loss reduces thermal stress and improves system efficiency >98% in PFC stages. |
| Qrr | 0 nC - Zero reverse recovery charge eliminates switching loss and EMI associated with diode tail current. |
| RthJC | 0.22 K/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case; enables direct mounting to heatsink without thermal interface material degradation risk. |
| TJ max | 175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247-3L (single-diode configuration, three-terminal leadframe package with isolated tab).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward current entry point | Connected to high-side switch node in boost PFC; requires low-inductance layout to minimize voltage overshoot. |
| Cathode (K) | Forward current exit point | Connected to DC-link capacitor; serves as return path for continuous conduction mode (CCM) current. |
| Case / Tab | Thermal and electrical connection to cathode | Electrically tied to cathode; must be mounted to heatsink with appropriate insulation if cathode is not at ground potential. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero Qrr | Eliminates reverse recovery loss and associated EMI, enabling higher switching frequencies without snubber circuits. |
| 175 °C TJ rating | Supports sustained operation in enclosed industrial enclosures with ambient temperatures up to 85 °C and limited airflow. |
| Low VF drift over temperature | VF increases only ~0.2 mV/°C from 25 °C to 150 °C, ensuring stable conduction loss across operating range. |
| TO-247-3L isolation | Tab-isolated package allows flexible mounting on insulated heatsinks while maintaining cathode reference integrity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D08065E (Wolfspeed) | Same 650 V/80 A rating but TO-247-2L package; cathode-connected tab limits mounting flexibility. | Lacks isolated tab; unsuitable where cathode must float relative to heatsink potential. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal mounting constraints and cathode grounding is fixed. |
| STPSC806D (STMicroelectronics) | 650 V/80 A, but VF = 1.7 V @ 82 A and RthJC = 0.25 K/W; higher conduction loss and thermal resistance. | Requires larger heatsink area and lower switching frequency to meet same thermal budget. | Prefer for legacy designs already qualified with ST's packaging and qualification flow. |
Compared with C3D08065E and STPSC806D, IRD3CH82DF6 offers superior thermal interface flexibility via its isolated tab and lowest VF among 650 V/80+ A SiC diodes, directly enabling smaller heatsinks and higher-frequency operation without compromising reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The IRD3CH82DF6 is rated for continuous operation with case temperature (TC) up to 135 °C, as specified in the official Infineon datasheet Rev. 2.0 (2022). Exceeding this limit requires derating per the published thermal curves, and operation above 150 °C case temperature is not supported for long-term reliability.
Can IRD3CH82DF6 replace a silicon fast recovery diode in an existing design?
Yes - it can directly replace 650 V Si FRDs in most layouts, but layout review is required: reduce gate loop inductance, verify snubber removal feasibility due to zero Qrr, and confirm heatsink mounting meets TO-247-3L isolation requirements. No gate drive changes needed since it is a passive device.
Is the cathode electrically connected to the tab?
No - the TO-247-3L package features an electrically isolated tab. The cathode terminal is separate from the tab, which is internally unconnected and intended solely for thermal conduction. This allows mounting on insulated heatsinks while maintaining independent cathode potential.
Does IRD3CH82DF6 require a negative bias during turn-off?
No - unlike SiC MOSFETs or IGBTs, this Schottky diode has no gate and requires no biasing. It conducts when anode voltage exceeds cathode voltage by >VF, and blocks when reverse biased - no external control signals or bias networks are needed.
