Product details
Overview
SIHP22N60E-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 21 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 86 nC, and avalanche-rated (EAS = 367 mJ). It delivers low conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency PFC and SMPS stages in telecom and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHP22N60E-E3 datasheet, SIHP22N60E-E3 pinout, SIHP22N60E-E3 application, or SIHP22N60E-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V blocking voltage, 0.15 Ω typical RDS(on), ultra-low gate charge, TO-220AB thermal performance (RthJC = 0.55 °C/W), and UIS ruggedness-critical for hard-switched industrial and renewable energy inverters.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage switching with low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg). Its gate threshold voltage (2–4 V) ensures stable turn-on under wide VGS margin, while the integral body diode supports synchronous rectification and inductive load commutation.
Dynamic parameters-including Ciss = 1920 pF, Coss = 90 pF, and Crss = 6 pF-are characterized at VDS = 100 V and f = 1 MHz. Switching times (td(on) = 18–36 ns, tf = 35–70 ns) are specified with Rg = 4.7 Ω and VDD = 380 V, supporting >100 kHz operation in resonant and hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 600 V - Supports primary-side switching in 400 V DC bus systems with 50 V margin for voltage spikes |
| RDS(on) max @ 25 °C | 0.18 Ω - Enables <1.9 W conduction loss at 11 A continuous drain current |
| Qg max | 86 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables use with low-current drivers (e.g., 1 A peak) |
| EAS | 367 mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive switching events without failure (tested per JEDEC JESD24-1) |
| RthJC | 0.55 °C/W - Allows 227 W dissipation with ≤125 °C case-to-junction rise, enabling compact heatsink design |
| ID continuous @ TC = 100 °C | 13 A - Specifies usable current in thermally constrained enclosures (e.g., sealed server PSUs) |
| VGS(th) | 2–4 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers and immunity to noise-induced false triggering |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-lead through-hole mounting, and 1.6 mm creepage/clearance per IEC 60950-1. Thermal pad on backside requires mechanical clamping and thermal interface material for optimal RthJC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level signal; input capacitance (Ciss = 1920 pF) sets driver sizing requirement |
| D (Drain) | High-side switch node | Connected to TO-220AB metal tab; carries full load current and must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless using insulating washer |
| S (Source) | Reference node / return path | Common connection point for gate driver return, current sense resistor, and low-side circuitry; defines local ground reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) × Qg FOM | 15.5 Ω·nC - Directly improves efficiency in both conduction and switching domains of high-frequency PFC stages |
| Avalanche energy rating (EAS) | 367 mJ - Eliminates need for external snubbers in flyback and LLC primary switches subjected to inductive kickback |
| Ultra-low Qgd/Qg ratio | 24/86 ≈ 28 % - Minimizes Miller plateau duration, improving dV/dt immunity and reducing switching transition time |
| Body diode reverse recovery (Qrr) | 5.3 μC - Enables soft-recovery behavior in bridge-leg configurations, lowering EMI vs. fast-recovery diodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP22NM60ND | RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω (max), Qg = 72 nC, EAS = 290 mJ, TO-220FP package (lower PD = 130 W) | Lower power handling limits use in <1.5 kW designs; reduced avalanche margin affects reliability in unregulated DC bus systems | Prefer for cost-sensitive, lower-power lighting ballasts where thermal headroom exists |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHP22N60E-E3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHP22N60E-E3 supports 13 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating from the 21 A rating at TC = 25 °C and assumes proper heatsinking with RthJC = 0.55 °C/W. Exceeding this current risks junction overheating beyond 150 °C, triggering thermal shutdown or permanent damage.
Does SIHP22N60E-E3 have avalanche capability, and how is it validated?
Yes, SIHP22N60E-E3 is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with EAS = 367 mJ at TJ = 25 °C. This is validated per JEDEC JESD24-1 test conditions (VDD = 50 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 5.1 A) and 100 % production tested. The device's planar structure and optimized doping profile ensure consistent energy absorption without parameter shift after repeated stress.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHP22N60E-E3, and why does it matter for drive circuit design?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIHP22N60E-E3 is 2–4 V at ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while providing noise immunity-preventing false triggering from transient coupling. Designers must ensure gate drive voltage exceeds 4 V minimum to guarantee full enhancement, especially at elevated temperatures where VGS(th) decreases.
How does the body diode performance of SIHP22N60E-E3 compare to discrete fast recovery diodes in bridge configurations?
The SIHP22N60E-E3 body diode exhibits Qrr = 5.3 μC and trr = 344 ns at TJ = 25 °C, IS = 11 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. While slower than dedicated SiC Schottky diodes, its soft recovery characteristic reduces voltage overshoot and EMI in hard-commutated H-bridges. For synchronous rectification, its VSD = 1.2 V forward drop is higher than SiC alternatives but avoids shoot-through risk inherent in external diode timing mismatches.
Is SIHP22N60E-E3 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
SIHP22N60E-E3 is lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, with exemption 7a. It is not halogen-free; for halogen-free compliance, specify SIHP22N60E-GE3 (same die, green molding compound). Both variants meet Vishay's material categorization per document 99912 and are qualified for industrial and telecom applications requiring strict chemical content control.
