For engineers reviewing the SIHG11N80E-GE3 datasheet, SIHG11N80E-GE3 pinout, SIHG11N80E-GE3 application, or SIHG11N80E-GE3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, body diode recovery characteristics, and real-world use context for high-efficiency SMPS and PFC stage design.
Technical Context
This device uses planar vertical DMOS technology optimized for high-voltage hard-switching applications. Its low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit (FOM) and reduced Ciss (1670 pF) enable fast switching with minimized conduction and gate drive losses.
The integrated body diode supports unclamped inductive switching with 345 ns typical reverse recovery time and 4.2 μC Qrr, while the 0.7 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance ensures robust thermal management under continuous 179 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW12N80K5 | Higher RDS(on) (0.48 Ω), lower Qg (55 nC), same 800 V rating and TO-247 package | Better suited for ZVS topologies where gate loss dominates; less optimal for hard-switched PFC | Select when prioritizing gate drive efficiency over conduction loss in resonant converters |
| IXTH12N80L | Lower VGS(th) (1.5–2.5 V), higher Ciss (2200 pF), same 800 V/12 A rating and TO-247AB package | More sensitive to noise-induced turn-on; requires tighter gate drive control in noisy industrial environments | Prefer for logic-level gate drive compatibility but verify noise immunity in final layout |
Compared with STW12N80K5 and IXTH12N80L, SIHG11N80E-GE3 offers the lowest RDS(on) × Qg FOM among 800 V 12 A MOSFETs, making it optimal for high-efficiency hard-switched PFC and solar inverter applications where both conduction and switching losses must be minimized simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG11N80E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHG11N80E-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 8 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating from the 12 A rating at 25 °C reflects thermal limitations of the TO-247AC package and must be applied in thermal design calculations for sustained operation in enclosed or high-ambient environments. The linear derating factor is 1.4 W/°C beyond 100 °C.
Does SIHG11N80E-GE3 support avalanche operation, and what is its rated energy?
Yes, SIHG11N80E-GE3 is fully rated for repetitive unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with a single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 226 mJ under standardized test conditions (VDD = 140 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 4.0 A). This rating is validated per JEDEC standards and enables robust operation in flyback, forward, and resonant converter topologies without external clamping circuits.
What are the key body diode parameters of SIHG11N80E-GE3 relevant to synchronous rectification?
The SIHG11N80E-GE3 body diode exhibits a forward voltage (VSD) of 1.2 V at 5.5 A and 25 °C, reverse recovery time (trr) of 345 ns (typ), and reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of 4.2 μC. These values indicate moderate softness and low stored charge - advantageous for reducing commutation losses and EMI in quasi-resonant and LLC converters where the body diode conducts during dead-time intervals.
Is SIHG11N80E-GE3 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, SIHG11N80E-GE3 is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, qualified for lead-free reflow soldering with a peak temperature of 300 °C for 10 seconds, per its ordering information and package documentation. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly and supporting standard SMT manufacturing flow.
How does the gate charge profile of SIHG11N80E-GE3 impact gate driver selection?
The SIHG11N80E-GE3 has a total gate charge (Qg) of 44–88 nC and gate-drain charge (Qgd) of 16 nC, resulting in a Qgd/Qg ratio of ~18 %. This low ratio indicates strong Miller immunity, allowing use of moderate-strength gate drivers (e.g., 1–2 A peak) without excessive Miller-induced shoot-through risk. Driver selection should target <50 ns turn-on delay and ensure sufficient current to charge 88 nC within desired dV/dt constraints.
