Infineon IPA80R650CE: Advanced 650V CoolMOS™ CE Power Transistor for High-Efficiency Applications

The relentless pursuit of higher efficiency and power density in modern electronics drives the need for advanced semiconductor solutions. At the forefront of this innovation is Infineon Technologies with its IPA80R650CE, a 650V superjunction MOSFET from the revolutionary CoolMOS™ CE series. This power transistor is engineered to set new benchmarks in performance for a wide array of high-efficiency applications, from server and telecom power supplies to industrial motor drives and renewable energy systems.

A defining characteristic of the CoolMOS™ CE technology is its exceptional balance between low switching losses and superior ease of use. The IPA80R650CE achieves an ultra-low figure-of-merit (R DS(on) x Q G), which is pivotal for minimizing both conduction and switching losses. This translates directly into higher overall system efficiency, allowing designers to meet stringent energy regulations like 80 PLUS Titanium for server PSUs. Furthermore, the component exhibits robust dv/dt and di/dt capability, enhancing its reliability in demanding switching environments and simplifying gate drive design.

The transistor is also designed with system cost and size reduction in mind. Its low gate charge (Q G) enables the use of smaller, less expensive gate drive ICs. The reduced switching losses allow for higher switching frequencies, which in turn permits the use of smaller passive components like magnetics and capacitors. This leads to a more compact system footprint and a lower total cost of ownership. The integrated fast body diode provides additional ruggedness and ensures safe operation during reverse recovery conditions.

Beyond raw performance, the IPA80R650CE offers enhanced avalanche ruggedness and is qualified according to the JEDEC standard for 100% avalanche tested MOSFETs. This ensures maximum reliability and longevity in the field, even when facing unexpected voltage spikes or harsh operating conditions. Its lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant package underscores Infineon's commitment to environmental sustainability.
