Infineon IPW60R099C6FKSA1 CoolMOS™ Power MOSFET: Engineered for High-Efficiency Power Conversion

In the relentless pursuit of higher efficiency and power density in modern electronic systems, the choice of switching technology is paramount. The Infineon IPW60R099C6FKSA1, a member of the renowned CoolMOS™ C6 FD family, stands out as a premier solution designed to meet these demanding challenges. This superjunction MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in a wide array of power conversion applications, from server and telecom SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supplies) to industrial motor drives and renewable energy systems.

At the heart of its design is the revolutionary superjunction principle, which enables a significant reduction in on-state resistance (RDS(on)) for a given silicon area. The IPW60R099C6FKSA1 boasts an ultra-low RDS(on) of just 99 mΩ at a 600 V drain-source voltage rating. This low resistance is the primary contributor to minimizing conduction losses, a major source of inefficiency in power circuits. When combined with its outstanding switching characteristics, which help reduce switching losses, this MOSFET enables designers to push the boundaries of efficiency, often achieving figures well above 95% in well-optimized designs.

A key feature of the CoolMOS™ C6 FD series is its integrated fast body diode. This technology is crucial for hard-switching topologies like power factor correction (PFC) stages. The diode exhibits superior reverse recovery behavior, significantly reducing related switching losses and electromagnetic interference (EMI). This allows for higher switching frequencies without a punitive efficiency penalty, which in turn permits the use of smaller passive components like inductors and capacitors, leading to more compact and lighter end products.

Furthermore, the device offers enhanced ruggedness and reliability, with excellent tolerance to overcurrent and avalanche conditions. Its low gate charge (Qg) simplifies drive circuit design, ensuring fast and controlled switching while easing the burden on the gate driver IC. The IPW60R099C6FKSA1 is offered in a TO-247 package, ensuring robust thermal performance and mechanical stability for high-power applications.
