Product details
Overview
SIHP28N65E-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 29 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.097 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 93 nC typical Qg, and 427 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - designed for high-efficiency switch-mode power supplies, PFC stages, and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SIHP28N65E-GE3 datasheet, SIHP28N65E-GE3 pinout, SIHP28N65E-GE3 application, or SIHP28N65E-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg), ultra-low gate charge, robust UIS rating, and thermal performance with RthJC = 0.5 °C/W - critical for high-power density industrial and telecom power designs.
Technical Context
This E-Series MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology optimized for hard-switched 650 V applications. Its gate threshold voltage (2–4 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers, while low Ciss (3405 pF) and Coss (160 pF) minimize switching losses in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC and LLC resonant converters.
The integrated body diode supports synchronous rectification and unclamped inductive switching, with trr = 483 ns (typ.) and Qrr = 8 μC at 25 °C - enabling stable operation in high-dV/dt environments up to 70 V/ns without external snubbing in well-layout-controlled topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 650 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with ≥30 % margin for transient overvoltage in telecom and server PSUs |
| RDS(on) typ | 0.097 Ω at VGS = 10 V - enables <1.4 W conduction loss at 14 A, reducing heatsink requirements in 1–3 kW systems |
| Qg max | 140 nC - allows efficient drive with standard gate drivers (e.g., UCC27531) without excessive Miller plateau time |
| EAS | 427 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive energy in motor drives and welding equipment without failure |
| RthJC | 0.5 °C/W - delivers 250 W power dissipation capability with minimal junction-to-case thermal rise under forced-air cooling |
| Ciss | 3405 pF - reduces gate drive power and improves high-frequency switching stability in >100 kHz SMPS |
| tr/tf | 42/45 ns (typ.) - supports fast transition control in ZVS/ZCS topologies while limiting EMI generation |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated drain tab (pin 2), standard 3-pin through-hole mounting, and JEDEC-compliant mechanical dimensions (D = 14.33–15.85 mm, E = 9.96–10.52 mm). Mounting requires thermal interface material and mechanical torque ≤ 0.5 N·m.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal of N-channel MOSFET | Reference node for gate drive; connects to power ground or low-side current sense point |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | Drain terminal (tab-connected) | High-voltage power path; electrically tied to metal tab - must be insulated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground |
| Pin 3 (Gate) | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance CMOS-compatible input; requires <100 nA leakage handling and low-inductance gate loop layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit | 9.4 Ω·nC - directly reduces total switching + conduction loss in high-frequency PFC and DC-DC stages |
| Avalanche-rated (UIS) | 427 mJ single-pulse - eliminates need for external clamping in inductive load switching and fault-tolerant designs |
| Low Ciss and Coss | 3405 pF / 160 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on gate driver and improves dV/dt immunity during commutation |
| Enhanced body diode performance | trr = 483 ns, Qrr = 8 μC - reduces reverse recovery loss and associated EMI in bridge-leg configurations |
| Lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and Vishay's Material Declaration (Doc. #99912) |

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 | RDS(on) = 0.095 Ω (typ.), Qg = 105 nC, TO-247 package, no UIS rating specified | Larger footprint and higher gate drive current demand; lacks avalanche qualification for inductive fault tolerance | Preferred where board space permits TO-247 and avalanche robustness is not required |
| IXTH28N65X2 | RDS(on) = 0.092 Ω (typ.), Qg = 120 nC, HiPerFET™ Gen. 2, TO-247, EAS = 410 mJ | Higher cost, same voltage rating but slightly better conduction loss; identical avalanche capability within measurement tolerance | Selected when legacy design uses IXYS footprint or requires Gen. 2 process consistency |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHP28N65E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHP28N65E-GE3 supports 18 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating from its 29 A rating at 25 °C, based on RthJC = 0.5 °C/W and junction temperature limit of 150 °C. Designers must verify heatsink performance to maintain safe operation under sustained load.
Does SIHP28N65E-GE3 have avalanche capability, and how is it rated?
Yes, SIHP28N65E-GE3 is fully avalanche-rated with a single-pulse unclamped inductive switching (UIS) energy of 427 mJ, tested per JEDEC standard JESD24-1. The rating is measured at VDD = 140 V, starting TJ = 25 °C, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 5.5 A. This confirms ruggedness for inductive load switching and fault conditions without external protection.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHP28N65E-GE3, and why does it matter?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SIHP28N65E-GE3 is 2–4 V at ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while avoiding unintended conduction from noise or leakage. It also supports compatibility with microcontroller GPIOs (with level-shifting) and simplifies drive circuit design in cost-sensitive applications.
Can SIHP28N65E-GE3 be used in place of logic-level MOSFETs?
No - SIHP28N65E-GE3 is not a logic-level device. Its VGS(th) minimum is 2 V, but it requires VGS = 10 V to achieve rated RDS(on) = 0.097 Ω. Logic-level MOSFETs typically specify RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V or 5 V. Using SIHP28N65E-GE3 with only 5 V gate drive results in significantly higher on-resistance (>0.3 Ω) and unacceptable conduction loss.
What is the reverse recovery charge (Qrr) of the body diode in SIHP28N65E-GE3, and how does it affect design?
The SIHP28N65E-GE3 body diode has Qrr = 8–16 μC (typ./max) at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 14 A, dI/dt = 100 A/μs, and VR = 25 V. This value directly impacts switching loss and EMI in synchronous rectification and half-bridge configurations. Lower Qrr reduces tail current and associated heat generation, allowing tighter dead-time control and improved efficiency in high-frequency topologies.
