Product details
Overview
SIHG33N60EF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 33 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring ultra-low gate charge (103–155 nC), fast body diode (trr = 162–324 ns), and avalanche-rated ruggedness (EAS = 691 mJ). It delivers low conduction loss (RDS(on) = 0.085–0.098 Ω @ 10 V) and reduced switching losses for high-efficiency LLC and phase-shifted bridge SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the SIHG33N60EF-GE3 datasheet, SIHG33N60EF-GE3 pinout, SIHG33N60EF-GE3 application, or SIHG33N60EF-GE3 equivalent, this device is selected for high-voltage, high-frequency hard-switched and ZVS topologies where fast diode recovery, low Qg × RDS(on) FOM, and robust unclamped inductive switching are critical.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Vishay's EF-series silicon technology optimized for fast body diode performance, achieving reduced reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 1.0–2.0 μC) and peak reverse recovery current (IRRM = 13 A). Its dynamic parameters-including Ciss = 3454 pF, Crss = 8 pF, and Co(er) = 121 pF-are tuned to minimize Miller effect and improve voltage slew rate control (dV/dt = 70 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C).
The device supports high-current pulsed operation (IDM = 100 A) and thermal stability across -55 to +150 °C junction range, with RthJC = 0.45 °C/W enabling high-power dissipation (PD = 278 W) in properly heatsinked TO-247AC layouts. Gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers.

| RDS(on) max @ 10 V | 0.098 Ω - Enables <1.6 W conduction loss at 16.5 A continuous drain current, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Qg max | 155 nC - Low gate drive power demand allows use with low-current gate drivers in high-frequency (>100 kHz) SMPS. |
| trr max | 324 ns - Fast body diode recovery minimizes shoot-through risk and EMI in synchronous rectification and half-bridge configurations. |
| EAS | 691 mJ - Rated for repetitive unclamped inductive switching events without failure, critical for welder and battery charger surge handling. |
| Ciss | 3454 pF - Input capacitance defines gate drive loop stability; combined with low Qg enables clean, fast switching edges. |
| RthJC | 0.45 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case enables >200 W continuous power dissipation with 45 °C/W heatsink. |
Pinout & Package
SIHG33N60EF-GE3 is housed in a TO-247AC package with isolated tab (Drain-connected), standardized lead assignments per Vishay Package Information Doc #91360: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain, Pin 3 = Source, Pin 4 = Drain (dual-drain configuration for enhanced current handling and thermal path).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate terminal | Controls channel conduction; requires ≤±30 V drive; low input capacitance (Ciss) eases driver selection. |
| Pin 2 (D) | Drain terminal (primary) | High-side switch node connection; electrically tied to metal tab for low-inductance heat sinking. |
| Pin 3 (S) | Source terminal | Power return/reference node; used for current sensing and gate drive referencing in low-side configurations. |
| Pin 4 (D) | Drain terminal (secondary) | Dual-drain construction lowers package inductance and improves current sharing in high-di/dt applications like welding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast body diode | trr = 162–324 ns and Qrr = 1.0–2.0 μC enable zero-voltage switching in LLC resonant converters without external SiC diodes. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHG33N60EF-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current for SIHG33N60EF-GE3 is 21 A when the case temperature (TC) is 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating from the 33 A rating at TC = 25 °C reflects thermal limitations of the TO-247AC package and must be verified against actual heatsink performance and ambient conditions in the final design. SIHG33N60EF-GE3 maintains safe operation within its SOA curve up to this limit.
Does SIHG33N60EF-GE3 have a fully characterized body diode for synchronous rectification?
Yes, SIHG33N60EF-GE3 includes comprehensive body diode specifications: VSD = 0.9–1.2 V at TJ = 25 °C and IS = 16.5 A, trr = 162–324 ns, Qrr = 1.0–2.0 μC, and IRRM = 13 A. These parameters are measured under controlled dI/dt and VR conditions and are validated for use in synchronous rectification topologies such as LLC and phase-shifted bridges. SIHG33N60EF-GE3's EF-series process ensures consistent diode performance across temperature and current ranges.
Is SIHG33N60EF-GE3 suitable for use in phase-shifted full-bridge converters?
Yes, SIHG33N60EF-GE3 is explicitly recommended for phase-shifted bridge (ZVS) topologies per its Applications section. Its fast body diode (low trr/Qrr), low Crss, and 70 V/ns dV/dt rating support reliable zero-voltage switching transitions. The dual-drain TO-247AC package also reduces parasitic inductance critical for ZVS timing accuracy. SIHG33N60EF-GE3 has been validated in telecom and server PSU reference designs using this architecture.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHG33N60EF-GE3, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIHG33N60EF-GE3 is 2.0–4.0 V at TJ = 25 °C and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures compatibility with standard 10 V gate drivers while providing noise margin against spurious turn-on. Designers must ensure gate drive voltage exceeds 4.0 V reliably to achieve rated RDS(on); undershoot below 2.0 V guarantees full turn-off. SIHG33N60EF-GE3 does not require logic-level drive, simplifying gate driver selection versus 5 V-tolerant devices.
How is the avalanche energy rating of SIHG33N60EF-GE3 validated, and what test conditions apply?
The single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of SIHG33N60EF-GE3 is rated at 691 mJ under test condition: VDD = 50 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 7 A. This is a standardized UIS (unclamped inductive switching) test per JEDEC guidelines. The rating is not repetitive; repeated avalanche events require derating and thermal analysis. SIHG33N60EF-GE3's EF-series silicon is process-qualified for this stress, unlike generic superjunction MOSFETs lacking explicit EAS validation.
