Product details
Overview
SIHP690N60E-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 600 V, 6.4 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring 0.60 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 12 nC total gate charge, and 9 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating-designed for high-efficiency switch-mode power supplies and PFC stages.
For engineers reviewing the SIHP690N60E-GE3 datasheet, SIHP690N60E-GE3 pinout, SIHP690N60E-GE3 application, or SIHP690N60E-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low FOM (RDS(on) × Qg), reduced Coss(er) of 17 pF, and rated dv/dt capability of 70 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C-critical for hard-switched 600 V topologies.
Technical Context
This E-series MOSFET employs 4th-generation silicon technology optimized for reduced conduction and switching losses in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and transition-mode (TM) PFC circuits. Its low effective output capacitance (Coss(er) = 17 pF) minimizes turn-off energy loss during high-voltage transitions.
The device integrates an avalanche-rated body diode with trr = 146 ns (typ.) and Qrr = 1.0 μC at TJ = 25 °C, supporting reliable operation in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback and LLC resonant converters where diode recovery behavior directly impacts EMI and efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 600 V - supports 400 V DC bus designs with 50 % safety margin for transient overvoltage in telecom/server SMPS |
| RDS(on) typ | 0.60 Ω at VGS = 10 V - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 2 A RMS in PFC boost stage |
| Qg max | 12 nC - determines gate drive power requirement (~1.2 mW at 100 kHz, 10 V swing) |
| EAS | 9 mJ - ensures robustness against unclamped inductive switching events in motor drive half-bridges |
| Coss(er) | 17 pF - reduces turn-off switching loss by ~30 % vs. prior generation at VDS = 480 V |
| tr/tf | 9/22 ns (typ.) - supports >500 kHz switching in ZVS/ZCS topologies without excessive ringing |
| TJ range | –55 to +150 °C - qualified for industrial ambient environments up to 85 °C case temperature |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-pin through-hole mounting, 2.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; threshold voltage 3.0–5.0 V ensures compatibility with standard PWM controllers |
| D (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Connected to drain metallization and package tab; requires insulated mounting when heatsink is grounded |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; source inductance must be minimized to suppress parasitic oscillation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4th-generation E-series silicon | Delivers 22 % lower RDS(on) × Qg FOM vs. previous generation, reducing combined conduction/switching loss |
| Avalanche-rated (UIS) | Guarantees 9 mJ single-pulse energy handling without failure-enables elimination of external snubbers in cost-sensitive PFC designs |
| Low Coss(er) (17 pF) | Reduces turn-off loss by storing less energy in output capacitance-critical for high-frequency, high-voltage switching |
| Body diode trr = 146 ns | Enables clean commutation in synchronous rectification and bidirectional DC/DC converters without excessive reverse recovery spikes |
| dv/dt ruggedness (70 V/ns) | Prevents false turn-on during fast voltage transients in bridge-leg configurations-no external gate clamping required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 600 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP6NK60ZFP | RDS(on) = 0.75 Ω (higher), Qg = 14 nC, no specified Coss(er), 6.2 A ID | Marginally higher conduction loss in PFC; suitable only where gate drive strength exceeds 1 A peak | Prefer SIHP690N60E-GE3 for new designs targeting <0.65 Ω RDS(on) and <12 nC Qg. |
| IXTH6N60P | RDS(on) = 0.70 Ω, Qg = 10 nC, Coss(er) not published, 6.0 A ID, TO-247 package | Lower Qg but larger footprint; lacks avalanche rating documentation and dv/dt spec | Choose SIHP690N60E-GE3 when board space, avalanche robustness, and dv/dt immunity are design priorities. |
Compared with STP6NK60ZFP and IXTH6N60P, SIHP690N60E-GE3 delivers the lowest RDS(on) × Qg FOM in TO-220AB, verified avalanche energy rating, and documented 70 V/ns dv/dt capability-making it optimal for compact, high-reliability 600 V SMPS where thermal and switching loss trade-offs are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SIHP690N60E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHP690N60E-GE3 has a continuous drain current rating of 4.0 A at TC = 100 °C, derated linearly from 6.4 A at 25 °C using a 0.5 W/°C factor. This value reflects thermal limits under typical heatsink conditions and must be validated against actual PCB layout and airflow in the final SIHP690N60E-GE3 application.
Does SIHP690N60E-GE3 have a fully characterized body diode for synchronous rectification?
Yes, the SIHP690N60E-GE3 body diode is characterized with trr = 146 ns (typ.), Qrr = 1.0 μC, and VSD = 1.2 V at IS = 2.0 A and TJ = 25 °C. These parameters are measured per JEDEC standards and support use in DCM flyback and LLC secondary-side switching where controlled reverse recovery is required-key for minimizing EMI in SIHP690N60E-GE3-based designs.
Is SIHP690N60E-GE3 suitable for use in hard-switched 600 V PFC circuits?
Yes, SIHP690N60E-GE3 is specifically optimized for hard-switched PFC stages with its 600 V VDS, 0.60 Ω RDS(on), and low Coss(er) of 17 pF. The device's 70 V/ns dv/dt rating and 9 mJ EAS ensure robustness against voltage overshoot and inductive kickback in boost PFC-validated in reference designs using TI UCC28070 and ON Semiconductor NCP1654 controllers with SIHP690N60E-GE3.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for SIHP690N60E-GE3?
The SIHP690N60E-GE3 has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of 3.0 V to 5.0 V, measured at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while avoiding unintended conduction from noise coupling-critical for stable operation in noisy industrial environments where SIHP690N60E-GE3 is commonly deployed.
How does the thermal resistance of SIHP690N60E-GE3 impact heatsink selection?
The SIHP690N60E-GE3 has a maximum junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) of 2.0 °C/W. For a 6.4 A continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature, power dissipation reaches ~2.6 W; thus, a heatsink with ≤15 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance is sufficient to maintain TJ < 150 °C. This enables compact TO-220AB mounting in space-constrained SIHP690N60E-GE3 power modules.
