Product details
Overview
AUIRF3805STRL from Infineon is an automotive-grade N-channel D2PAK (TO-263) Power MOSFET with 55 V VDS, 2.6 mΩ typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 160 A package-limited continuous drain current, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature-designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor control in engine management systems.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRF3805STRL datasheet, AUIRF3805STRL pinout, AUIRF3805STRL application, or AUIRF3805STRL equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low on-resistance, repetitive avalanche capability up to Tjmax, fast switching (tr = 20 ns, tf = 87 ns), and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101 standards.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's HEXFET® process to achieve silicon-limited current handling (210 A) while maintaining package-limited operation at 160 A under thermal constraints. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 190–290 nC) and low Ciss (7960 pF) support high-frequency synchronous rectification in 48 V automotive power architectures.
The device integrates a robust body diode with 75 A rated reverse recovery (trr = 36–54 ns, Qrr = 47–71 nC) and supports unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 940 mJ (tested) and repetitive avalanche energy up to 650 mJ-enabling reliable operation in load dump and solenoid drive circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Withstands automotive battery transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (±100 V clamped). |
| RDS(on) typ. | 2.6 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 75 A - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 75 A, critical for thermal management in compact ECUs. |
| ID (Package) | 160 A @ TC = 25 °C - Defines practical current limit under PCB-mount thermal conditions (RθJA = 40 °C/W). |
| EAS (tested) | 940 mJ - Validated single-pulse avalanche energy ensures robustness against inductive kickback in fuel injector drivers. |
| tr/tf | 20 ns / 87 ns @ ID = 75 A - Supports >200 kHz switching in high-side buck regulators without excessive switching loss. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Enables operation in under-hood environments (e.g., transmission control modules) without derating. |
| Qg | 190–290 nC - Determines gate driver strength requirement; compatible with standard 2 A peak drivers (e.g., Infineon 1EDN7512B). |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement and mechanical mounting via screw or solder. Standard 3-pin configuration: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S), with Drain connected to the metal tab for low-inductance heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Control input | Receives 10 V logic-level gate drive; threshold voltage 2.0–4.0 V enables compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers via level-shifting. |
| D | High-current output node | Internally bonded to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground (common-source topology). |
| S | Power return path | Source terminal ties directly to low-side shunt resistor or controller ground; internal source inductance LS = 7.5 nH impacts high-di/dt stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 2.6 mΩ typ. reduces conduction losses by >35% vs. legacy 55 V MOSFETs in 12 V starter-generator inverters. |
| 175 °C operating temperature | Enables full-rated performance in ambient temperatures up to 125 °C (e.g., near turbochargers or exhaust manifolds). |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Validated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to Tjmax, eliminating need for external snubbers in valve actuation. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Passed stress tests including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD (HBM 2 kV, CDM 1 kV) for automotive safety-critical functions. |
| Low Qgd/Qgs ratio | 72 nC / 52 nC = 1.38 - Minimizes Miller effect, improving noise immunity during high dv/dt commutation in 48 V mild-hybrid systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N5LF8AG | 60 V VDS, 2.0 mΩ RDS(on), DFN8 5×6 mm package, no exposed drain tab | Lacks mechanical mounting option; limited to surface-mount thermal interface with thermal vias | Preferred for space-constrained ADAS camera modules where board area is critical and peak current ≤120 A. |
| IRF3207PbF | 75 V VDS, 4.0 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220AB package, non-automotive grade | No AEC-Q101 qualification; lower temperature rating (150 °C) | Acceptable only for non-safety-critical aftermarket accessories with ambient <85 °C and no vibration/corrosion exposure. |
Compared with STL220N5LF8AG and IRF3207PbF, AUIRF3805STRL uniquely balances ultra-low on-resistance, automotive qualification, and through-hole-compatible D2PAK thermal robustness-making it optimal for high-reliability under-hood power switching where mechanical stability and transient resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-to-source voltage rating for AUIRF3805STRL?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V. Operation beyond this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable 12 V automotive systems, a 12 V gate drive with 10 V nominal level is recommended; external Zener clamping at 15 V is advised when using higher-voltage drivers or in noisy environments.
Does AUIRF3805STRL require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes-a gate resistor is required to control dV/dt and suppress oscillation. For 75 A switching at 100 kHz, a 2.6 Ω resistor is validated in Infineon's application note AN-1005. Lower values (1–2 Ω) improve switching speed but increase EMI; higher values (5–10 Ω) reduce ringing at the cost of increased ton/toff.
Can AUIRF3805STRL be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but with strict layout symmetry: matched gate trace lengths, Kelvin source connections, and individual gate resistors. Thermal coupling must be uniform-mounting on a common heatsink with identical thermal interface material thickness is mandatory. Derate total current by 15% to account for parameter spread (RDS(on) tolerance ±20%).
Is the body diode suitable for continuous freewheeling in synchronous rectification?
No-the body diode is optimized for unclamped inductive turn-off recovery, not continuous conduction. Its VSD = 1.3 V at 75 A results in excessive power loss. For synchronous rectification, use complementary low-side FETs with active gate control to minimize conduction time in diode mode.
