Product details
Overview
AUIR3242STRXUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-side MOSFET driver IC for back-to-back N-channel MOSFET configurations, featuring integrated boost DC/DC converter (VOUT up to 12.5 V), under-voltage lockout with diagnostic output, and ultra-low quiescent current (≤1.5 µA off-state, ≤8 µA on-state) across 3–36 V supply range. It enables battery-switch and stop-start system net stabilization in automotive power distribution.
For engineers reviewing the AUIR3242STRXUMA1 datasheet, AUIR3242STRXUMA1 pinout, AUIR3242STRXUMA1 application, or AUIR3242STRXUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-low IN control, integrated analog/digital diagnostics (RS current sense, UVLO flag), SOIC-8 package compatibility, and ability to drive standard-level MOSFETs down to 3 V battery voltage.
Technical Context
The AUIR3242STRXUMA1 integrates a self-oscillating boost converter (external 100 µH inductor, internal diode) that generates a regulated gate drive voltage ≥12.5 V independent of input supply, enabling full enhancement of N-channel MOSFETs even at 3 V VCC. Its input stage is active-low with TTL-compatible thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.5 V).
It implements dual protection: under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with diagnostic latch output (pin 8) and ground-loss detection via RS pin current monitoring (±1% accuracy). The gate driver delivers peak source/sink current >250 mA with controlled slew rate to minimize EMI during switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 3 V to 36 V - supports wide automotive battery voltage swing including cold-crank (3 V) and load-dump (36 V) |
| IQ (Off-State) | ≤1.5 µA - enables always-on battery disconnect without parasitic drain in vehicle sleep mode |
| IQ (On-State) | ≤8 µA - maintains low power consumption during active battery switch operation |
| VOUT (Boost) | ≥12.5 V - ensures full turn-on of standard-threshold N-MOSFETs (VGS(th) ≤ 4 V) at low VCC |
| UVLO Threshold | ≈6 V with hysteresis - prevents MOSFET linear-mode conduction and thermal runaway during brownout |
| RS Sense Accuracy | ±1% - enables precise overcurrent detection for battery protection with external shunt |
| Gate Drive Current | >250 mA peak - provides fast MOSFET turn-on/turn-off (tON/tOFF < 1 µs) minimizing conduction losses |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side back-to-back MOSFET driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS4H160-Q1 | Higher VCC max (60 V), integrated current limiting (no external RS), no boost converter - requires external gate drive supply | Targeted at 48 V mild-hybrid systems; lacks integrated boost for low-VCC operation | Select when system uses dedicated 12 V gate supply and requires higher voltage rating |
| LM74700-Q1 | No integrated gate driver; only ideal diode controller with reverse-current blocking - requires external driver stage | Used for OR-ing and reverse-polarity protection, not back-to-back switching | Select only for unidirectional load-switching where gate drive is provided externally |
Compared with TPS4H160-Q1 and LM74700-Q1, the AUIR3242STRXUMA1 uniquely combines integrated boost conversion, ultra-low IQ, and back-to-back MOSFET control in one SOIC-8 package-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 12 V automotive battery switches requiring operation down to 3 V.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for reliable gate drive output?
The AUIR3242STRXUMA1 operates down to 3 V VCC and still delivers ≥12.5 V at the OUT pin via its integrated boost converter. This ensures full gate enhancement of standard N-channel MOSFETs (VGS(th) ≤ 4 V) even during cold-cranking events. Below 3 V, UVLO activates and disables gate drive.
How does the RS pin enable current sensing and fault detection?
The RS pin accepts voltage from an external shunt resistor placed between SOURCE and system ground. The internal amplifier measures this voltage with ±1% accuracy, enabling real-time current monitoring and overcurrent shutdown. Polarity detection on RS also supports ground-loss protection by identifying open-GND faults.
Is an external inductor required, and what value is specified?
Yes, an external 100 µH inductor is mandatory and connected between SW (pin 4) and VOUT (pin 8). This inductor forms the energy storage element of the integrated boost converter. Infineon specifies 100 µH ±20%, 200 mA saturation current, and shielded construction to minimize EMI coupling.
Does the AUIR3242STRXUMA1 support bidirectional current flow in back-to-back configuration?
Yes - the back-to-back N-MOSFET topology driven by this IC inherently supports bidirectional current flow when both MOSFETs are enhanced. The RS pin senses magnitude and polarity of current, allowing system firmware to distinguish charge vs. discharge direction in dual-battery applications.
