600 V, 13 A, 180 mOhm — the switching load it handles
The IPP60R180C7XKSA1: This part belongs to Infineon's CoolMOS C7 series, a high-voltage superjunction family optimized for hard-switching topologies like power-factor correction (PFC) stages, LLC converters, and flyback supplies in the 150 W to 500 W range.
Gate charge and switching speed
The input capacitance measures 1080 pF at 400 V drain-source, a moderate value that balances switching speed against EMI. For a 100 kHz hard-switched PFC, the switching losses are manageable with a standard bootstrap driver. The ±20 V gate-source maximum gives margin for gate-drive overshoot in noisy environments.
Thermal budget and package
Maximum power dissipation is 68 W at the case temperature, but the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the TO-220 package means a heatsink is required for any continuous current above a few amps. The through-hole TO-220-3 package (PG-TO220-3-1) is a standard footprint for board-level power stages.
