C3D08060G

Overview

The C3D08060G is a 600 V, 8 A Silicon Carbide Schottky diode manufactured by Wolfspeed. It utilizes a TO-263-2 package and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C. The device features a maximum forward voltage of 1.8 V at 8 A and 25 °C, with a reverse current of 42.5 µA at 600 V. Key electrical parameters include a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V, continuous forward current of 24 A at 25 °C, and a thermal resistance from junction to case of 1.4 °C/W.

Feature Summary

• Zero reverse recovery current and zero forward recovery voltage
• High-frequency operation with essentially no switching losses
• Positive temperature coefficient on forward voltage for parallel operation

Applications

• Switch mode power supplies (SMPS)
• Boost diodes in PFC or DC/DC stages
• Free wheeling diodes in inverter stages
• AC/DC converters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required container type, such as tube or tape and reel, when sourcing components. Confirm that the manufacturer branding aligns with current Wolfspeed standards, as legacy Cree markings may still appear on some units. Ensure the component meets industrial qualification requirements for your intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high efficiency and reduced heat sink sizes due to minimal switching losses. The positive temperature coefficient allows for safe parallel operation without thermal runaway risks. Consider the TO-263-2 package dimensions and recommended solder pad layout during PCB design to ensure proper thermal management and mechanical stability.

Part Context

This discrete silicon carbide Schottky diode belongs to Wolfspeed's portfolio of wide-bandgap power semiconductors. It serves as a unipolar rectifier designed to replace traditional bipolar devices in demanding power conversion applications. The technology enables significant improvements in system power density and overall energy efficiency compared to conventional silicon alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. Evaluate alternative SiC Schottky diodes with matching 600 V blocking voltage and comparable current ratings, ensuring pinout compatibility with the TO-263-2 package.
