Product details
Overview
TW045N120C,S1F from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a silicon carbide (SiC) N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-voltage switching in industrial and renewable energy systems. It delivers 1200 V drain-source breakdown voltage, 45 mΩ typical RDS(ON), integrated SiC Schottky body diode with −1.35 V forward voltage, and operates up to 175 °C channel temperature - enabling efficient operation in 3-phase inverters and HV DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the TW045N120C,S1F datasheet, TW045N120C,S1F pinout, TW045N120C,S1F application, or TW045N120C,S1F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1200 V rating, low 45 mΩ on-resistance at 18 V gate drive, built-in SiC diode performance, thermal robustness to 175 °C, and TO-247 package compatibility with high-power heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This third-generation SiC MOSFET integrates a monolithic SiC Schottky barrier diode to eliminate reverse recovery losses and enable hard-switched topologies. Its enhancement-mode operation, 3.0–5.0 V threshold voltage range, and recommended ±0 V / +18 V gate drive ensure stable turn-on/turn-off control under high dv/dt conditions.
The device features low output charge (Qoss = 147 nC), fast switching (ton = 71 ns, toff = 82 ns), and low effective output capacitance (Co(er) = 122 pF), supporting high-frequency operation up to 100 kHz in resonant and phase-shifted full-bridge designs without excessive gate drive loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 1200 V - supports 1000 V DC bus systems with 20% safety margin for overvoltage transients |
| RDS(ON) | 45 mΩ (typ.) at VGS = 18 V, Tch = 25 °C - enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 20 A continuous current |
| VDSF | −1.35 V (typ.) - reduces body-diode conduction loss and eliminates reverse recovery in synchronous rectification |
| ID (DC) | 40 A at Tc = 25 °C - supports high-current motor drives and solar string inverters with forced-air cooling |
| Rth(ch-c) | 0.824 °C/W - allows direct heatsink mounting to sustain 182 W power dissipation at 25 °C case temperature |
| Vth | 3.0–5.0 V - provides noise immunity against gate-induced false turn-on in high-noise EMI environments |
| Qg | 57 nC (typ.) - determines gate driver peak current requirement (~12 A for 4.7 Ω gate resistor, 18 V drive) |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247 (TOSHIBA 2-16L1A), thermally optimized with drain-connected tab for direct heatsink mounting. Weight: 6.15 g (typ.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: Gate | Control terminal for MOSFET channel | Receives +18 V / 0 V drive signal; requires low-inductance layout due to fast switching edge rates |
| 2: Drain (heatsink) | Main high-voltage power terminal | Electrically and thermally connected to metal tab; must be isolated from heatsink unless system ground referenced |
| 3: Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Serves as local ground reference for gate driver; critical for minimizing common-source inductance in high-di/dt operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated SiC Schottky body diode | Eliminates reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 297 nC) and associated switching losses in freewheeling paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage SiC MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW45N120K5 | 1200 V, 45 mΩ, TO-247-4L package with Kelvin source; lower Qg (45 nC) but no integrated diode | Requires external SiC diode; better suited for layouts where gate drive stability is prioritized over component count | Select when precise gate control and reduced Miller feedback are critical, and board space permits discrete diode placement |
| IXTH45N120S | 1200 V, 45 mΩ, TO-247 package; higher Vth (4.5–6.5 V), no integrated diode, higher Rth(ch-c) (1.0 °C/W) | Limited to lower switching frequencies (<50 kHz); less suitable for ZVS or high-di/dt freewheeling | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial SMPS where thermal margin exists and diode recovery is managed externally |
Compared with STW45N120K5 and IXTH45N120S, TW045N120C,S1F offers integrated body diode functionality and superior thermal resistance, making it optimal for compact, high-frequency, diode-dependent topologies like boost PFC and LLC resonant converters - whereas alternatives require additional components or accept higher thermal overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for TW045N120C,S1F at 100 °C case temperature?
The TW045N120C,S1F supports 30 A DC drain current at Tc = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits under sustained conduction; actual usable current depends on heatsink performance, ambient temperature, and switching frequency. For TW045N120C,S1F, maintaining Tch ≤ 175 °C requires careful thermal design - especially above 20 A at high duty cycles.
Does TW045N120C,S1F have a built-in body diode, and what is its forward voltage?
Yes, TW045N120C,S1F integrates a monolithic SiC Schottky barrier diode as part of its third-generation chip design. Its typical diode forward voltage (VDSF) is −1.35 V at Tc = 25 °C and −1.70 V at Tc = 100 °C, measured with VGS = 18 V. This low-voltage, zero-recovery diode enables efficient synchronous rectification and eliminates reverse recovery losses in hard-switched topologies using TW045N120C,S1F.
What gate drive voltage is recommended for reliable operation of TW045N120C,S1F?
Toshiba specifies +18 V for turn-on and 0 V for turn-off as the recommended gate-source drive voltage for TW045N120C,S1F. This ensures full enhancement while maintaining safe margin below the ±25 V absolute maximum VGS. Operating below +15 V risks incomplete turn-on and elevated RDS(ON); exceeding +20 V increases gate oxide stress. The 3.0–5.0 V threshold voltage range of TW045N120C,S1F also provides noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
Is TW045N120C,S1F RoHS compliant, and how is compliance indicated on the device marking?
Yes, TW045N120C,S1F is RoHS compliant. Per Toshiba documentation, RoHS-compliant units are marked with an underlined lot number and carry the [[G]]/RoHS COMPATIBLE or [[G]]/RoHS [[Pb]] designation. Non-RoHS versions display an unmarked (non-underlined) lot number and [[Pb]]/INCLUDES > MCV. Customers should verify marking per unit and consult Toshiba sales for environmental certification documentation specific to TW045N120C,S1F shipment batches.
What is the safe operating area (SOA) limitation for TW045N120C,S1F in linear mode operation?
TW045N120C,S1F is rated for switching applications only and is not characterized for linear (ohmic) mode operation. Its Safe Operating Area curve (Fig. 8.16) shows only single-pulse, limited-duty-cycle boundaries - confirming that sustained linear operation risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(ON). For analog control or active regulation, TW045N120C,S1F must remain fully saturated or fully off; linear use is prohibited per Toshiba's application guidance.
