What this SiC Schottky brings to the power stage
The Infineon IDH02G65C5XKSA2 is a 650 V, 2 A silicon carbide Schottky diode from the CoolSiC™+ series, housed in a PG-TO220-2 through-hole package. Its defining characteristic is zero reverse-recovery time (0 ns trr), which means no recovery charge tail to manage — the diode switches off the instant current crosses zero. That eliminates the switching loss and EMI spike that a silicon ultrafast diode would leave in a hard-switched PFC boost or LLC resonant stage. Junction temperature range of -55 to 175 °C covers industrial and automotive hot-spot environments without derating the 2 A average current. The 1.7 V forward drop at 2 A is typical for a 650 V SiC Schottky at this current class; conduction loss stays predictable across the full temperature range.
Zero-recovery switching — what it means for the BOM
The 0 ns trr eliminates the recovery tail that dominates switching loss in a silicon ultrafast diode.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The IDH02G65C5XKSA2 carries an Active product status. Infineon continues to manufacture the CoolSiC™+ generation; no PCN or last-time-buy has been issued for this order code. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed.
