Product details
Overview
SPI15N60C3 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 15 A CoolMOS™ C3 superjunction N-channel power MOSFET in PG-TO262 (TO-262) package, designed for high-efficiency hard-switched and resonant SMPS topologies. It delivers RDS(on) = 0.28 Ω at Tj = 25°C, ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 63 nC), and periodic avalanche rating up to 460 mJ - enabling use in PFC stages of industrial AC/DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SPI15N60C3 datasheet, SPI15N60C3 pinout, SPI15N60C3 application, or SPI15N60C3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 V/ns dv/dt capability at 125°C, 0.8 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and integrated body diode with trr = 460 ns - critical for ZVS/ZCS design validation and thermal margin analysis in 1–3 kW server PSUs.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Infineon's third-generation CoolMOS™ C3 platform, optimized for reduced conduction and switching losses via improved transconductance (gfs = 11.9 S) and ultra-low effective output capacitance (Co(er) = 80 pF, Co(tr) = 127 pF). Its gate plateau voltage is 5 V, supporting standard 10 V gate drive while maintaining robust noise immunity.
The MOSFET features fully isolated packaging (2500 VAC, 1 min) in PG-TO262, with rated continuous drain current of 15 A at TC = 25°C and 9.4 A at TC = 100°C. Its repetitive avalanche rating (IAR = 15 A, EAR = 0.8 mJ) enables reliable operation under transient overvoltage conditions without external snubbers.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP15N60DM6 | RDS(on) = 0.32 Ω, Qg = 52 nC, no specified avalanche rating | Lacks periodic avalanche rating; requires external snubber in high-transient environments | Preferable where gate drive power is constrained but transient immunity is less critical |
| IPP60R190C7 | RDS(on) = 0.19 Ω, Qg = 72 nC, 650 V rating, TO-220FP package | Lower RDS(on) improves conduction loss but increases switching loss and thermal footprint | Better for thermally limited designs with ample gate drive capability |
Compared with STP15N60DM6 and IPP60R190C7, SPI15N60C3 offers balanced trade-offs: superior avalanche ruggedness versus ST's part and lower gate charge versus Infineon's own C7 series - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, transient-prone PFC stages where reliability trumps marginal efficiency gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SPI15N60C3 at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 9.4 A at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value accounts for thermal derating due to junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.8 K/W) and ensures Tj remains ≤ 150°C under steady-state conduction.
Does SPI15N60C3 have an integrated body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, it includes a monolithic body diode rated for 15 A continuous forward current (IS) and 45 A pulsed (ISM). Key parameters include VSD = 1.0–1.2 V at IS, trr = 460 ns, Qrr = 27 µC, and peak reverse recovery current Irrm = 55 A - all measured at Tj = 25°C with dIF/dt = 100 A/µs.
Can SPI15N60C3 be used in synchronous rectification applications?
No - SPI15N60C3 is not optimized for synchronous rectification. Its body diode exhibits relatively high VSD (1.0–1.2 V) and trr (460 ns), resulting in significant reverse recovery loss. Dedicated SR controllers paired with low-VF, fast-recovery MOSFETs are recommended instead.
What is the gate threshold voltage range, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
VGS(th) ranges from 2.1 V to 3.9 V at Tj = 25°C. This wide threshold supports robust noise immunity but requires gate drive voltages ≥10 V to ensure full enhancement and minimize RDS(on) dispersion. Drive circuits must deliver ≥±20 V gate-source swing to handle worst-case transients without unintended turn-on.
