What this SiC Schottky actually does
The Infineon IDH03SG60C is a 600 V, 3 A silicon carbide Schottky diode from the CoolSiC™+ series. Its defining characteristic is a reverse recovery time (trr) of 0 ns — meaning there is no stored charge to sweep out when the diode switches from forward conduction to reverse blocking. That eliminates the switching losses and ringing you get with a fast-recovery silicon diode, which makes this part a direct fit for power factor correction (PFC) stages, high-frequency switching power supplies, and flyback or boost converters where efficiency and thermal management are tight.
Zero trr — what it means for the switching loop
The IDH03SG60C's trr is 0 ns.
Package and mounting
Through-hole TO-220-2 (Infineon designates it PG-TO220-2-2). Two leads — anode and cathode — plus the metal tab is the cathode. The junction is rated for -55 °C to 175 °C.
Lifecycle and sourcing
Infineon lists the IDH03SG60C as Active.
