Product details
Overview
SPW52N50C3FKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 500 V, 52 A CoolMOS™ C3 superjunction N-channel power MOSFET in PG-TO247 package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.07 Ω at VGS = 10 V and Tj = 25 °C, ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 290 nC), and periodic avalanche rating - deployed in high-efficiency PFC stages of industrial SMPS and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SPW52N50C3FKSA1 datasheet, SPW52N50C3FKSA1 pinout, SPW52N50C3FKSA1 application, or SPW52N50C3FKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500 V V(BR)DSS, 0.07 Ω RDS(on), 290 nC total gate charge, 50 V/ns dv/dt capability at 125 °C, and TO-247 thermal resistance of 0.3 K/W.
Technical Context
This CoolMOS™ C3 device uses charge-compensation technology to achieve superior RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit versus planar MOSFETs, with optimized cell pitch and reduced specific on-resistance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.1–3.9 V) enables robust TTL/CMOS drive compatibility.
The transistor supports hard-switched topologies up to 100 kHz and resonant operation beyond, enabled by low effective output capacitance (Co(er) = 212 pF) and fast switching (td(off) = 120 ns, tf = 10 ns). Its body diode exhibits trr = 580 ns and Qrr = 20 μC at 380 V, supporting ZVS-assisted designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 500 V - Withstands DC bus voltages up to 400 V in 3-phase rectified systems with margin for transients. |
| RDS(on) | 0.07 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 52 A, critical for high-current PFC stages. |
| Qg | 290 nC - Reduces gate driver power demand and switching losses in high-frequency (>65 kHz) converters. |
| EAS | 1800 mJ - Supports single-pulse avalanche energy handling during overvoltage events without failure. |
| Ciss | 6800 pF - Low input capacitance improves Miller immunity and reduces gate oscillation risk in high-dv/dt environments. |
| td(off) | 120 ns - Enables precise timing control in synchronous rectification and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies. |
| RthJC | 0.3 K/W - Allows >400 W dissipation with moderate heatsinking, suitable for compact 3 kW+ industrial supplies. |
Pinout & Package
PG-TO247 package: 3-pin through-hole, isolated tab, standard footprint per PCN 2009-134-A. Mounting plane is electrically connected to drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path from source to load | Electrically tied to metal tab - requires insulated mounting hardware when heatsink is grounded. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance connection essential for stable gate control and accurate shunt-based current monitoring. |
| Gate | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring <100 nA leakage; sensitive to ESD and ringing - needs RC snubber or gate resistor ≤10 Ω. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) × Qg | 0.07 Ω × 290 nC = 20.3 Ω·nC - Delivers best-in-class efficiency in continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC. |
| Periodic avalanche rated | Rated for repetitive IAR = 20 A pulses - Enables reliable operation in unclamped inductive switching (e.g., relay drivers). |
| Extreme dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns at Tj = 125 °C - Prevents false turn-on in high-speed half-bridge configurations with fast bus transitions. |
| Low effective output capacitance | Co(er) = 212 pF - Reduces turn-off energy loss (Eoff ∝ V2 × Coss) in hard-switched applications. |
Applications
| Industrial Switch-Mode Power Supplies | Solar Inverters (DC-AC Stage) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPW65R041C7 | 650 V rating, RDS(on) = 0.041 Ω, Qg = 225 nC - higher voltage margin but lower RDS(on). | Better suited for 400–450 V DC bus systems where overvoltage headroom is critical. | Select when system bus exceeds 420 V or when lower conduction loss dominates design priority. |
| STW56N60M2 | 600 V rating, RDS(on) = 0.055 Ω, Qg = 320 nC - higher gate charge increases driver complexity. | Optimized for lower-frequency (<30 kHz) motor drives with less stringent switching loss requirements. | Prefer when thermal management favors lower RDS(on) over fast switching, and gate drive capability is ample. |
Compared with IPW65R041C7 and STW56N60M2, SPW52N50C3FKSA1 offers the lowest gate charge among 500 V-class devices, enabling simpler gate drivers and lower EMI in high-frequency PFC, while maintaining sufficient avalanche ruggedness for industrial transients.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at case temperature of 100 °C?
The SPW52N50C3FKSA1 supports 30 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects junction-to-case thermal resistance (0.3 K/W) and safe operating area constraints under sustained conduction conditions.
Does this MOSFET have an integrated body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes - it features a monolithic fast-recovery body diode with IS = 52 A continuous forward current (TC = 25 °C), VSD = 1.0–1.2 V at rated current, trr = 580 ns, and Qrr = 20 μC. These values are measured at VR = 380 V, IF = IS, and diF/dt = 100 A/μs.
Is SPW52N50C3FKSA1 suitable for zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topologies?
Yes - its low Coss (2200 pF typ.) and Crss (150 pF typ.), combined with 50 V/ns dv/dt rating, enable reliable ZVS operation in LLC resonant converters and phase-shifted full-bridge topologies up to 300 kHz, provided gate drive timing and dead-time control are precisely managed.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for hard-switched 65 kHz PFC operation?
A gate resistor of 4.7 Ω to 6.8 Ω is recommended for 65 kHz hard-switched PFC, balancing switching speed (to minimize Eon/Eoff) and gate ringing suppression. This range achieves td(on) ≈ 20 ns and td(off) ≈ 120 ns while keeping VGS overshoot below 12 V with typical 12 V gate drivers.
