Product details
Overview
SIHB23N60E-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 23 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.158 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 95 nC, and avalanche-rated UIS energy of 353 mJ. It delivers low conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency power conversion in PFC and SMPS stages.
For engineers reviewing the SIHB23N60E-GE3 datasheet, SIHB23N60E-GE3 pinout, SIHB23N60E-GE3 application, or SIHB23N60E-GE3 equivalent, this device is selected for high-voltage, medium-current hard-switched topologies where gate drive efficiency, thermal robustness, and unclamped inductive switching capability are critical.
Technical Context
The SIHB23N60E-GE3 employs a planar high-voltage trench-enhanced silicon process optimized for 600 V operation, with a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 2–4 V and zero-gate-voltage drain current (IDSS) ≤ 1 μA at 600 V. Its dynamic parameters-Ciss = 2418 pF, Coss = 119 pF, and Crss = 4 pF-are specified at VDS = 100 V and f = 1 MHz, supporting fast turn-on/turn-off with controlled dV/dt.
Thermally, it features RthJC = 0.55 °C/W (junction-to-case, drain), enabling 227 W maximum power dissipation at TC = 25 °C, and supports repetitive operation up to TJ = 150 °C with linear derating above 25 °C. The integrated body diode exhibits VSD = 0.9–1.2 V at IS = 12 A and trr = 384–768 ns under defined recovery conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHB23N60E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHB23N60E-GE3 supports 15 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating from its 23 A rating at TC = 25 °C and must be validated against actual PCB layout, heatsinking, and ambient conditions. The SIHB23N60E-GE3 datasheet confirms linear derating at 1.8 W/°C above 25 °C.
Does SIHB23N60E-GE3 have a fully rated avalanche capability, and how is it tested?
Yes, the SIHB23N60E-GE3 is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with EAS = 353 mJ, tested per JEDEC standard JESD24-1 using L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 5 A, and starting TJ = 25 °C. This rating applies to repetitive operation within thermal limits and is documented in Vishay's S15-0277-Rev. C datasheet for SIHB23N60E-GE3.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHB23N60E-GE3, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The SIHB23N60E-GE3 has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2–4 V at ID = 250 μA, confirming logic-level compatibility. However, full enhancement requires VGS ≥ 10 V to achieve RDS(on) ≤ 0.158 Ω. Drive circuits must supply ≥12 V with sufficient peak current to deliver 95 nC gate charge rapidly-critical for minimizing switching losses in the SIHB23N60E-GE3.
Can SIHB23N60E-GE3 be used in synchronous rectification configurations, and what body diode parameters matter most?
Yes, the SIHB23N60E-GE3 can serve in synchronous rectification due to its integral body diode with VSD = 0.9–1.2 V at IS = 12 A and trr = 384–768 ns. For such use, Qrr (6.4–12.8 μC) and dV/dt ruggedness (34 V/ns reverse diode) are critical-low Qrr reduces cross-conduction loss, while high dV/dt tolerance prevents false turn-on. These values are measured and published for SIHB23N60E-GE3.
Is SIHB23N60E-GE3 compliant with lead-free and halogen-free requirements, and which standards does it meet?
Yes, SIHB23N60E-GE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and Vishay's internal material categorization per document #99912. The "-GE3" suffix explicitly denotes this compliance, and soldering is qualified for peak temperatures up to 300 °C for 10 seconds-fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles used for SIHB23N60E-GE3 assembly.
