Product details
Overview
SCTWA90N65G2V from STMicroelectronics is a silicon carbide (SiC) Power MOSFET rated for 650 V drain-source voltage, 18 mΩ typical RDS(on) at 18 V gate drive and 50 A, and 119 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It features an ultra-fast intrinsic body diode (trr = 17 ns), low total gate charge (157 nC), and operation up to 200 °C junction temperature - enabling high-efficiency, high-frequency switching in demanding power conversion stages.
For engineers reviewing the SCTWA90N65G2V datasheet, SCTWA90N65G2V pinout, SCTWA90N65G2V application, or SCTWA90N65G2V equivalent, key selection criteria include its SiC-specific thermal stability (RDS(on) variation <1.8× from −75 °C to 200 °C), near-temperature-invariant switching energy, and robust safe operating area (SOA) up to 200 °C with 220 A pulsed current capability.
Technical Context
This 650 V SiC MOSFET uses ST's second-generation trench-gate SiC technology to achieve low specific on-resistance (18 mΩ·mm²) and minimal capacitance coupling (Ciss = 3380 pF, Crss = 49 pF). Its gate threshold voltage (1.9–3.2 V) and negative gate-source voltage rating (−10 V) support robust gate driving in hard-switched topologies.
The device integrates a monolithic SiC body diode with 2.5 V forward voltage at 30 A and 308 nC reverse recovery charge - eliminating need for external anti-parallel diodes in bridge configurations. Switching losses (Eon = 130 µJ, Eoff = 210 µJ at 400 V/50 A) remain stable across −75 °C to 200 °C, enabling predictable thermal design in high-power DC-DC and renewable inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 650 V - Supports 400 V DC bus systems with >50% voltage margin for transient overvoltage handling in solar string inverters and EV chargers. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 18 mΩ at VGS = 18 V, ID = 50 A - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 80 A, critical for high-current, low-voltage-drop output stages. |
| ID cont. | 119 A at TC = 25 °C - Delivers high power density in compact heatsink designs when paired with low RthJC = 0.31 °C/W package. |
| Qg | 157 nC - Reduces gate driver power demand and enables faster switching with standard 2.2 Ω gate resistors (td(on) = 26 ns, tf = 16 ns). |
| trr | 17 ns - Minimizes commutation losses and eliminates reverse recovery spikes in totem-pole PFC and resonant LLC converters. |
| TJ max | 200 °C - Allows derating-free operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments (e.g., outdoor EV charging stations). |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in HiP247 long leads package - a thermally optimized variant of TO-247 with extended lead length for improved creepage/clearance and enhanced PCB-level thermal relief. Package outline complies with ECOPACK2 environmental standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D (Drain, Tab) | Main power output terminal / heat sink interface | Electrically connected to exposed metal tab; requires insulated mounting or direct heatsink contact with ≥1.5 kV isolation. |
| G (Gate) | Control input for channel modulation | Low-impedance gate (Rg = 1 Ω) supports fast turn-on/turn-off; rated for −10 V to +22 V; threshold centered at 3.2 V. |
| S (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Common return path for load current and gate loop; must be routed with low inductance to minimize switching oscillation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low Qg/Qgd ratio | 157 nC total gate charge with only 42 nC Miller charge - reduces dv/dt-induced false turn-on risk in high-side configurations. |
| Temperature-stable RDS(on) | Normalized resistance remains ≤1.15× from −75 °C to 200 °C - simplifies thermal modeling and eliminates dynamic derating in wide-temperature applications. |
| High SOA at elevated TJ | Supports 100 A @ 400 V for 100 µs at TJ = 200 °C - enables reliable short-circuit tolerance in UPS and industrial motor drives. |
| Integrated SiC body diode | 2.5 V VSD at 30 A and 17 ns trr - replaces discrete anti-parallel diodes in bidirectional switches and synchronous rectifiers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wolfspeed C3M0065065K | Same 650 V/65 mΩ rating but higher RDS(on) (65 mΩ vs 18 mΩ); lower ID (65 A vs 119 A); identical TJ = 200 °C. | Better suited for medium-power 3–5 kW converters where conduction loss is less dominant than switching loss. | Select when system prioritizes cost-per-watt over peak current density and board space is constrained. |
| Infineon IMW65R023M1H | 650 V/23 mΩ; slightly higher RDS(on); 105 A ID; includes integrated Kelvin source for precise gate control. | Preferred in high-precision servo drives requiring accurate current sensing and minimized gate loop inductance. | Choose when gate driver layout complexity demands Kelvin source routing and system tolerates 29% higher conduction loss. |
Compared with C3M0065065K and IMW65R023M1H, SCTWA90N65G2V delivers the highest current density (119 A) and lowest RDS(on) (18 mΩ) in the 650 V SiC MOSFET class - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-power-density applications where thermal headroom and conduction efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What gate drive voltage is recommended for optimal RDS(on) and reliability?
ST specifies VGS = 18 V for minimum RDS(on) (18 mΩ) and recommends operation between −5 V and +18 V. A gate drive of −5 V/18 V ensures fast, low-loss switching while maintaining >2 V noise margin above the maximum VGS(th) of 3.2 V - preventing unintended turn-on during high dv/dt events.
Can SCTWA90N65G2V replace silicon IGBTs in existing 650 V inverter designs?
Yes - with gate drive and layout adaptation. Its lower switching losses (Eon + Eoff ≈ 340 µJ vs ~1000 µJ for comparable IGBTs), zero tail current, and 200 °C TJ allow direct substitution in hard-switched topologies. However, gate resistor values must be reduced (to ~2.2 Ω) and snubber networks re-optimized due to faster edge rates.
Is the HiP247 long leads package compatible with standard TO-247 heatsinks?
Yes - mechanical dimensions (D = 21.0 mm, E = 15.8 mm) match industry-standard TO-247 footprints. The "long leads" refer to extended lead length (L = 19.92 mm) for improved creepage distance; no adapter or custom mounting hardware is required for standard clip- or screw-type heatsinks.
Does the intrinsic SiC body diode require external anti-parallel diode protection?
No - the monolithic SiC body diode is fully rated for bidirectional conduction and reverse recovery. With 30 A forward current capability, 2.5 V VSD, and 17 ns trr, it performs reliably in synchronous rectification and totem-pole PFC without supplemental diodes - reducing bill-of-materials and layout complexity.
