Product details
Overview
SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an 800 V, 20 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.170 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 90 nC total gate charge, and avalanche-rated ruggedness for high-voltage switching in PFC and SMPS stages.
For engineers reviewing the SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 datasheet, SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 pinout, SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 application, or SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fast body diode (trr = 127 ns), low Co(er) = 51 pF, and UIS-rated EAS = 127 mJ - critical for hard-switched industrial and telecom power converters.
Technical Context
This device employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for high-voltage operation with controlled dv/dt immunity (100 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C) and robust unclamped inductive switching capability. Its gate threshold voltage range (2–4 V) ensures stable turn-on under wide temperature and drive conditions.
The integrated fast-recovery body diode supports synchronous rectification and ZVS transitions in resonant topologies. Dynamic parameters - including Qgd/Qg = 28/90 nC and Coss(er) = 51 pF - are tuned to minimize switching loss trade-offs in 640 V bus applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 800 V - supports 640 V DC bus designs with 25 % safety margin for voltage transients |
| RDS(on) typ | 0.170 Ω at VGS = 10 V, ID = 10 A - enables <1.7 W conduction loss at 10 A continuous current |
| Qg max | 90 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in 100–500 kHz PFC stages |
| EAS | 127 mJ - guarantees single-pulse avalanche survivability during overcurrent fault events without derating |
| trr | 127 ns - reduces diode recovery loss and EMI in hard-switched bridge legs |
| RthJC | 0.6 °C/W - allows 208 W power dissipation with ≤120 °C case-to-ambient ΔT using standard heatsinking |
| Co(er) | 51 pF - lowers output energy loss (Eoss) during turn-off, improving efficiency in high-frequency SMPS |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW20NK80ZFP | 800 V, 20 A, RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω, Qg = 100 nC, no specified EAS rating | Lacks avalanche energy rating; higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss by ~29 % at 10 A | Acceptable where system-level protection limits inductive energy; verify layout for higher gate drive demand. |
| IXTH24N80L | 800 V, 24 A, RDS(on) = 0.195 Ω, Qg = 110 nC, EAS = 100 mJ | Lower current rating margin but higher Qg; EAS 21 % lower than SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 | Preferred when higher ID rating is needed; confirm gate driver can supply 110 nC without excessive rise time. |
Compared with STW20NK80ZFP and IXTH24N80L, SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 delivers superior FOM (15.3 vs. 22.0 and 21.5 Ω·nC), highest EAS, and lowest Co(er), making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-reliability 640–800 V switching where diode recovery and avalanche ruggedness are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 13 A at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and ensures safe operation within the 150 °C maximum junction temperature limit. The SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 must be mounted on an adequately sized heatsink to maintain this current capability.
Does SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 have a fully rated avalanche energy specification?
Yes, the SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) with a single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 127 mJ, tested under standardized conditions (VDD = 140 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, IAS = 3 A). This rating is explicitly guaranteed in the datasheet and applies directly to the SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 without derating.
What is the typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the body diode in SIHP24N80AEF-GE3?
The typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the integral body diode in SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 is 127 ns, measured at TJ = 25 °C, IF = IS = 10 A, di/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 400 V. This value is confirmed in the Specifications table and is a key differentiator for high-frequency switching applications where diode recovery loss dominates efficiency.
Is SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 compatible with standard TO-220AB footprints and mounting hardware?
Yes, the SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 uses the industry-standard TO-220AB package with 3-pin configuration (G-D-S), identical mechanical dimensions and mounting hole pattern to JEDEC TO-220AB. It features an isolated drain tab and is compatible with standard insulating washers and thermal pads used in TO-220-based power designs.
What gate-source voltage range is required to fully enhance SIHP24N80AEF-GE3?
The SIHP24N80AEF-GE3 has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 2–4 V, but full enhancement - defined as achieving the specified RDS(on) of 0.170 Ω - requires VGS ≥ 10 V. The device is not logic-level; driving below 10 V results in significantly higher on-resistance and increased conduction loss.
