IPA60R190C6 Overview
What is a CoolMOS power MOSFET? A CoolMOS device is a high-voltage power MOSFET built on superjunction (SJ) technology that vertically alternates P- and N-doped drift regions. This SJ structure collapses the traditional silicon limit between breakdown voltage (BV) and on-resistance (RDS(on)), yielding 5-10x lower specific RDS(on) per die area compared with conventional planar MOSFETs of the same voltage class. As a member of the voltage-regulator / power-management family, it sits hierarchically: power MOSFET -> discrete semiconductor -> power management IC ecosystem. CoolMOS C6 specifically targets cost-sensitive industrial and consumer applications, balancing low gate charge, low switching loss, and a wide SOA relative to earlier C3 and P6 generations.
Key features of the IPA60R190C6 include a 190 mΩ maximum RDS(on) at VGS=10 V, integrated body diode for hard-commutated bridges, low gate charge Qg for reduced driver losses, and 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness. The TO-220FP package provides a fully isolated tab (no insulating washer required), simplifying mechanical mounting and improving thermal cycling reliability compared with standard TO-220. Compared with TO-220 alternatives, the FullPAK version adds galvanic isolation between the heatsink and the die, allowing direct mounting to a grounded chassis in consumer and industrial products.
The IPA60R190C6 is typically deployed in PFC stages, LLC and quasi-resonant flyback converters, server and telecom AC/DC bricks, LED drivers, e-bike chargers, and solar micro-inverters. Its low Qg and low Eoss deliver high efficiency across the 50 kHz to 300 kHz switching range commonly used in modern SMPS. Compared with the earlier C3 series, C6 reduces switching losses by roughly 30-50% in hard-switched ZVS/ZCS topologies, while preserving the simple gate-drive requirements that make drop-in replacement straightforward. According to the Infineon product page (fetched 2026-10-08), the IPA60R190C6 remains in active production for industrial and consumer use cases.
When designing with IPA60R190C6, place the gate-drive resistor close to the gate pin to limit ringing and use a local gate-source pull-down of 10-100 kΩ to prevent false turn-on from Miller current. For PFC boost stages, account for body-diode reverse recovery when operating near the CCM/DCM boundary. Designers moving from older C3 or P6 parts typically re-tune snubber values but keep the same TO-220FP footprint, easing redesign.

Typical Applications
IPA60R190C6 is suitable for 8 applications: PFC Boost Converter (CCM), LLC Resonant Converter Primary Side, Quasi-Resonant Flyback (QR) SMPS, Solar Micro-Inverter / String Inverter, Industrial Motor Drive Brake Chopper, LED Lighting Driver (High-Bay), E-Bike / E-Scooter Battery Charger, Welding Inverter Primary Switch.
PFC Boost Converter (CCM)
The IPA60R190C6's 600 V breakdown, 190 mΩ RDS(on), and CoolMOS C6 switching-loss profile make it well-matched to continuous-conduction-mode PFC boost converters in the 200 W to 2 kW range. Placed as the boost switch between the bridge rectifier and the boost inductor, it delivers 97%+ efficiency at 50-100 kHz when driven by a UCC28180 or NCP1654 controller with a 12 V gate drive. Designers should size the boost diode reverse-recovery for the C6 body-diode characteristic and provide a 10-100 kΩ gate-source pull-down to suppress Miller-induced turn-on. Compared with planar 600 V MOSFETs, the superjunction die reduces conduction loss by roughly 5x at this current class.
Recommended
LLC Resonant Converter Primary Side
In LLC resonant half-bridge converters used in server and telecom AC/DC bricks, the IPA60R190C6 acts as the primary-side low-side or high-side switch where zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) eliminates most turn-on loss. The C6 superjunction die delivers low Eoss (output capacitance energy stored) that directly reduces the magnetizing current required for ZVS, raising light-load efficiency. The 190 mΩ RDS(on) keeps conduction loss manageable at 100-200 kHz resonant frequencies typical of 1 kW telecom bricks. Use a UCC25640 or L6599 controller and pair the IPA60R190C6 with an IPP60R190C6 on the high side for matched Qg timing.
Recommended
Quasi-Resonant Flyback (QR) SMPS
The IPA60R190C6 is a strong fit for quasi-resonant flyback power supplies in the 100 W to 300 W range, including TV standby, adapter, and white-goods power blocks. As the main switch it handles the 600 V rail stress at the leakage-spike peak and benefits from C6's low Qg to reduce driver loss in variable-frequency QR control. Using a NCP1337 or TEA18363 controller at 65-130 kHz valley-switching, designers achieve 88-92% efficiency in 150 W adapters. The TO-220FP isolated tab enables direct chassis mounting without an insulating pad, simplifying the mechanical BOM.
Recommended
Solar Micro-Inverter / String Inverter
The IPA60R190C6 supports solar micro-inverter and single-phase string inverter designs where its 600 V rating covers the DC bus stress of 400 V PV panels (Voc cold-weather margin). In a HERIC or H5 inverter topology, it operates at 16-50 kHz with hard switching on the line-frequency commutated arm and ZVS on the high-frequency arm. The C6's wide SOA and 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness handle the occasional reverse-recovery transient from the IGBT-free line-side rectifier under grid fault conditions. Industrial micro-inverter designers value the TO-220FP footprint for the through-hole reliability required in outdoor IP65 enclosures.
Recommended
Industrial Motor Drive Brake Chopper
In industrial variable-frequency drives (VFDs), the IPA60R190C6 serves as the brake chopper switch that dissipates regenerative energy into a braking resistor when the motor acts as a generator. Its 20.2 A continuous rating and 600 V breakdown handle the 400-480 V rectified DC bus with substantial transient headroom. CoolMOS C6's wide SOA enables repetitive avalanche operation during aggressive deceleration ramps, and the isolated TO-220FP tab simplifies direct heatsink mounting in metal-enclosed motor drives. Pair with a gate driver such as the FAN7392 for 4 A peak gate current capability.
Recommended
LED Lighting Driver (High-Bay)
The IPA60R190C6 is widely used as the primary switch in 100 W to 300 W industrial high-bay LED drivers operating from universal mains (90-305 VAC). In a single-stage PFC + flyback or two-stage PFC + LLC topology, the C6's low switching loss enables >93% efficiency and >50,000-hour driver lifetime required by DLC and DesignLights Consortium specifications. The TO-220FP isolated tab allows direct chassis mounting inside the metal LED fixture housing without an insulator pad, reducing thermal interface resistance. The 190 mΩ RDS(on) keeps conduction loss under 2% at full load.
Recommended
E-Bike / E-Scooter Battery Charger
The IPA60R190C6 fits the primary-side switch role in 200 W to 500 W e-bike and e-scooter lithium-ion battery chargers. Its 600 V rating covers the rectified 230 VAC mains plus leakage spike margin, and the C6 superjunction technology reduces switching loss by 30-50% versus older planar MOSFETs, improving charger efficiency to >92% (Energy Star compliance). The TO-220FP isolated tab is robust against vibration and thermal cycling typical of mobile charging equipment. Use a NCP1380 QR controller or TEA2017A controller in a quasi-resonant flyback topology for sub-100 mW standby.
Recommended
Welding Inverter Primary Switch
In 200 A-class MMA/TIG welding inverter power stages, the IPA60R190C6 is used as the primary-side switch on the high-voltage side of the IGBT-free full-bridge converter, particularly in cost-optimized consumer welding products. CoolMOS C6's ruggedness under repetitive avalanche and short-circuit conditions provides the SOA margin needed for the transient short events typical of stick welding. The 20.2 A continuous current supports 5-7 kW peak welding power at 30-50 kHz switching, with 3-4 MOSFETs often paralleled for higher-current models. The TO-220FP package allows direct chassis mounting without an insulating pad, simplifying the mechanical assembly.

Design Notes
Estimated: at full-load conduction loss P_cond = ID^2 x RDS(on) = (20.2)^2 x 0.19 = ~77 W, but only in DC SOA corner. In typical PFC/SMPS service with 50% duty-cycle and 30% switching loss contribution, total dissipation is approximately 10-15 W at the rated continuous current. The TO-220FP package has a typical theta_JC of ~3 C/W, meaning a 150C junction ceiling allows the case to reach ~135C with appropriate airflow or 1 C/W heatsink. Always confirm with measured thermal mapping in the final mechanical assembly.
Place the gate-drive resistor (typ 10-47 Ω) within 5 mm of the gate pin to suppress dv/dt-induced ringing and prevent false turn-on. Add a 10-100 kΩ gate-source pull-down resistor to ensure the MOSFET stays off during controller start-up and fault events. For the FullPAK package, route the source lead as the gate-return reference to minimize common-source inductance, which directly limits turn-off loss and ringing. Source inductance above 5 nH typically requires increasing gate resistance to control voltage overshoot below the 20 V VGS abs-max rating.
Do not exceed the +/-20 V VGS absolute maximum; transient overshoot during turn-off (caused by stray source inductance) is the most common IPA60R190C6 failure mode. Use a TVS diode (e.g., 18 V SMBJ) gate-to-source clamp if layout-induced ringing exceeds 15 V. Avoid using the body diode in reverse-recovery-critical applications beyond the C6-rated di/dt - the C6 body diode has trr > 200 ns, so for hard-switched ZCS bridges prefer an external SiC schottky diode or upgrade to a CoolMOS C7 variant with integrated fast body diode.
For through-hole TO-220FP, provide a minimum 100 mm^2 top-layer copper pour under the device body to spread heat into the PCB. If using a heatsink, apply a 0.075 mm thermal interface material (TIM) with thermal conductivity >= 1 W/mK between the FullPAK tab and the heatsink. The FullPAK isolation is rated at 2500 VAC for 1 minute per IEC 60747-9, which simplifies chassis-mount safety approvals - the engineer should still confirm creepage/clearance distances per IEC 60950-1 or IEC 62368-1 in the final assembly.
Compliance Information
RoHS compliant per Infineon product page. Industrial/consumer grade; not AEC-Q100 qualified - for automotive applications use IPA60R199CP (AEC-Q101). FullPAK isolation rated 2500 VAC per IEC 60747-9.
