Product details
Overview
AUIRF5210S from Infineon is a P-channel automotive-grade HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D2Pak (TO-263AB) package, rated for -100V VBRDSS, 60 mΩ RDS(on) max at -10V VGS, and -38A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It delivers rugged unclamped inductive switching with 120 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy and supports fast switching in high-side load switch and motor control circuits within 12V/24V automotive power systems.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRF5210S datasheet, AUIRF5210S pinout, AUIRF5210S application, or AUIRF5210S equivalent, key selection criteria include its -100V breakdown rating, -38A thermal-limited continuous current, fully avalanche-rated operation up to TJ = 150°C, and D2Pak thermal resistance of 0.75°C/W junction-to-case - critical for under-hood power management designs requiring robust transient handling and RoHS-compliant packaging.
Technical Context
This P-channel MOSFET employs Infineon's cellular HEXFET® process to achieve ultra-low on-resistance per die area while maintaining high dv/dt immunity (-7.4 V/ns) and full repetitive avalanche capability. Its gate threshold voltage range (-2.0 V to -4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard automotive logic-level drive, and its dynamic parameters - including 150 nC typical total gate charge and 81 nC gate-to-drain charge - support efficient high-frequency PWM control in DC-DC converters and H-bridge drivers.
The device integrates a co-packaged body diode with -1.6 V forward voltage at -23 A and 170 ns typical reverse recovery time, enabling synchronous rectification and freewheeling in bidirectional power stages. Thermal design is anchored by a low RθJC of 0.75°C/W and a maximum junction temperature of +150°C, validated per AEC-Q101 standards for engine control units, battery disconnect switches, and transmission control modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBRDSS | -100 V - Withstands reverse-biased drain-source transients up to 100 V without breakdown in automotive 24V systems. |
| RDS(on) max | 60 mΩ @ VGS = -10 V, ID = -38 A - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at full rated current, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID continuous | -38 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-current loads such as fuel pump drivers and HVAC blower motors without derating. |
| EAS | 120 mJ - Absorbs unclamped inductive energy during fault events (e.g., solenoid de-energization), eliminating need for external snubbers. |
| dv/dt rating | -7.4 V/ns - Resists false turn-on from high-slew-rate noise in electric power steering and ABS module PCB layouts. |
| TJ range | -55°C to +150°C - Qualified for under-hood operation across all global automotive ambient conditions per AEC-Q101. |
| Qg typ. | 150 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement; compatible with standard automotive gate drivers (e.g., UCC27531, TC4427). |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in D2Pak (TO-263AB) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal performance. The package features three terminals: Gate (G), Drain (D), and Source (S), arranged in standard G-D-S order when viewed from top marking side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Controls channel conduction; requires -10 V for full enhancement; threshold range -2.0 V to -4.0 V enables compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller outputs via level-shifting. |
| D | Drain | High-side connection point; electrically tied to exposed copper pad for direct PCB thermal coupling and low-inductance high-current return path. |
| S | Source | Reference node for gate drive and load return; connects to system ground or battery negative in high-side switch configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| P-channel architecture | Enables high-side switching without bootstrap circuitry - simplifies layout and improves reliability in 12V/24V battery-fed systems. |
| Fully avalanche rated | Withstands repetitive unclamped inductive switching up to TJmax, eliminating need for external clamping diodes in motor drive flyback paths. |
| Dynamic dv/dt immunity | -7.4 V/ns rating prevents spurious turn-on during fast voltage transients common in alternator ripple and load-dump events. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - suitable for safety-critical ECU power stages. |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and automotive ELV requirements; compatible with lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 10 s). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel automotive power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP100P3LLH6 | -100 V VBRDSS, 55 mΩ RDS(on), but only AEC-Q100 qualified (not Q101); lower Qg (110 nC) reduces gate drive demand. | Lacks full AEC-Q101 validation; not recommended for safety-critical power stages where qualification traceability is mandated. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs formal AEC-Q101 compliance; verify qualification scope with STMicroelectronics documentation. |
| IRF9540NPBF | -100 V VBRDSS, 200 mΩ RDS(on), non-automotive grade, TO-220 package, no avalanche rating. | Higher conduction loss (>5×), no thermal or reliability validation for automotive environments; unsuitable for under-hood deployment. | Acceptable only for prototyping or non-automotive industrial use; avoid in production automotive BOMs. |
Compared with STP100P3LLH6 and IRF9540NPBF, the AUIRF5210S uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 60 mΩ on-resistance, and 120 mJ avalanche energy - making it the only option among the three qualified for production automotive high-side switching where both reliability and efficiency are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-to-source voltage for AUIRF5210S?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V. Operation beyond this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable enhancement, apply -10 V to achieve full RDS(on) specification; gate drive circuits must include clamping (e.g., Zener diodes) to prevent overshoot during fast switching transitions.
Can AUIRF5210S be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but with strict layout and thermal symmetry requirements. Matching RDS(on) tolerance (±20%) and identical PCB trace inductance are essential. Use Kelvin-source connections and individual gate resistors to ensure balanced current sharing; thermal coupling via shared heatsink is mandatory to prevent thermal runaway.
Does AUIRF5210S require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a gate resistor controls dV/dt and ringing. For 20 kHz PWM in motor drives, a 10 Ω series resistor is typical. Lower values (2–5 Ω) increase switching speed but risk EMI and shoot-through; higher values (22–47 Ω) reduce EMI but increase switching losses. Always validate with oscilloscope measurements of VGS and VDS waveforms.
Is the body diode in AUIRF5210S suitable for synchronous rectification?
No - the body diode has -1.6 V forward voltage and 170 ns reverse recovery time, resulting in high conduction and switching losses. It is intended for freewheeling and fault protection only. For synchronous rectification, use an external Schottky or MOSFET-based active rectifier with lower VF and faster recovery.
