Product details
Overview
SIHP28N65EF-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 28 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package with fast body diode, ultra-low gate charge (97 nC typ.), and low RDS(on) of 0.102 Ω at VGS = 10 V, designed for high-efficiency LLC resonant and phase-shifted bridge power supplies in telecom and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SIHP28N65EF-GE3 datasheet, SIHP28N65EF-GE3 pinout, SIHP28N65EF-GE3 application, or SIHP28N65EF-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 427 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating, 174 ns typical reverse recovery time (trr), 3249 pF input capacitance (Ciss), and suitability for ZVS topologies requiring low Qrr and fast dV/dt immunity.
Technical Context
This E-series MOSFET employs optimized silicon process and cell layout to reduce reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 1.1 μC typ.) and peak reverse recovery current (IRRM = 15 A), enabling robust operation in hard- and soft-switched SMPS. Its low figure-of-merit (RDS(on) × Qg) supports high-frequency switching up to 300 kHz without excessive conduction or switching losses.
The device integrates an avalanche-rated body diode with controlled dV/dt capability (11 V/ns) and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range. Thermal resistance from junction-to-case is 0.5 °C/W, supporting 250 W continuous power dissipation at TC = 25 °C with appropriate heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 650 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 1.6× safety margin for transient overvoltage in PV inverters and telecom rectifiers |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.102 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 14 A, critical for high-current primary-side switches |
| Qg max | 146 nC - low gate drive power requirement allows use with standard 1–2 A gate drivers in high-frequency LLC controllers |
| trr typ. | 174 ns - reduces diode commutation loss and EMI in phase-shifted full-bridge converters operating above 100 kHz |
| EAS | 427 mJ - ensures reliable unclamped inductive switching during startup/fault conditions in welder and charger applications |
| Ciss | 3249 pF - balances Miller effect suppression and gate drive efficiency for stable operation under high dV/dt stress |
| dV/dt rating | 70 V/ns @ TJ = 125 °C - prevents spurious turn-on in high-speed ZVS topologies with rapid voltage transitions |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-lead through-hole mounting, 2.54 mm lead pitch, and RoHS-compliant lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free finish per ordering code -GE3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Control terminal accepting 10 V logic-level drive; requires ≤146 nC total charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (±30 V rating) |
| D | Drain | Main high-voltage power terminal; electrically connected to metal tab; must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to same potential |
| S | Source | Power return and reference node for gate drive; carries full load current (28 A continuous); forms cathode of integral fast body diode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast body diode technology | Reduces trr by >40% vs. standard 650 V MOSFETs, enabling zero-voltage switching in LLC and PSFB without external SiC diodes |
| Low Qrr (1.1 μC typ.) | Minimizes diode-induced switching loss and associated EMI, improving efficiency in 100–300 kHz telecom SMPS |
| Avalanche-rated (EAS = 427 mJ) | Eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching, simplifying PCB layout in battery charger and welding circuits |
| Low Ciss/Coss ratio | Improves gate drive stability under high dV/dt; Crss = 5 pF ensures minimal Miller feedback during hard commutation |
| 0.5 °C/W RthJC | Enables direct mounting to large heatsinks for thermal management in 500–1000 W industrial power stages |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW28N65M5 | 650 V, 28 A, RDS(on) = 0.11 Ω, Qg = 125 nC, trr = 220 ns, TO-247 package | Higher trr increases switching loss in >150 kHz designs; larger TO-247 footprint requires PCB redesign | Prefer when higher avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 520 mJ) is prioritized over board space and high-frequency efficiency |
| IXTH28N65X2 | 650 V, 28 A, RDS(on) = 0.095 Ω, Qg = 138 nC, trr = 150 ns, TO-247 package | Lower RDS(on) and trr improve efficiency but require tighter gate drive timing control due to faster dv/dt | Choose for maximum efficiency in 200–300 kHz LLC designs where gate driver slew rate exceeds 5 V/ns |
Compared with STW28N65M5 and IXTH28N65X2, SIHP28N65EF-GE3 offers optimal balance of low Qg, fast trr, and TO-220AB compactness-enabling cost-effective, thermally efficient 1–5 kW power stages without sacrificing ZVS reliability or requiring layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHP28N65EF-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHP28N65EF-GE3 supports 18 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating from 28 A at 25 °C reflects thermal constraints of the TO-220AB package and must be validated with actual heatsink design and ambient conditions. The SIHP28N65EF-GE3 datasheet provides SOA curves confirming safe operation up to this limit under DC conditions.
Does SIHP28N65EF-GE3 have a fully rated avalanche capability, and what is its test condition?
Yes, SIHP28N65EF-GE3 is fully rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) at 427 mJ, tested per JEDEC JESD24-1 with VDD = 140 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 5.5 A. This rating applies to the SIHP28N65EF-GE3 device itself and confirms robustness against inductive switching transients without external protection components.
What is the typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the body diode in SIHP28N65EF-GE3, and under what conditions is it measured?
The typical reverse recovery time (trr) of the SIHP28N65EF-GE3 body diode is 174 ns, measured at TJ = 25 °C with IF = IS = 14 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 400 V. This value is confirmed in the Specifications table and directly impacts ZVS performance in phase-shifted bridge topologies. The SIHP28N65EF-GE3's fast trr is a core feature of its E-series technology.
Can SIHP28N65EF-GE3 be used in place of a standard 650 V MOSFET in an existing LLC resonant converter design?
Yes, SIHP28N65EF-GE3 can replace standard 650 V MOSFETs in LLC designs, provided gate drive strength matches its 146 nC Qg max and PCB layout accommodates TO-220AB mechanical dimensions. Its lower Qrr and faster trr typically improve ZVS margin and reduce EMI-verified in the SIHP28N65EF-GE3 application notes for telecom and server PSU reference designs.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range for SIHP28N65EF-GE3, and how does it affect drive requirements?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIHP28N65EF-GE3 ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at ID = 250 μA, per the datasheet specifications. This standard threshold ensures compatibility with 10 V gate drivers while avoiding unintended turn-on from noise; the SIHP28N65EF-GE3 requires ≥8 V for reliable enhancement in high-current operation, as confirmed by transfer characteristic curves.
