Product details
Overview
AUIRF5210STRL from Infineon is a P-channel automotive-grade HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263AB) package, rated for -100V VBRDSS, 60 mΩ RDS(on) at -10V VGS, and -38A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It features full avalanche rating, fast switching (tr = 63 ns), and dynamic dv/dt capability (-7.4 V/ns), enabling robust high-side switching in 12V/24V automotive power systems.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRF5210STRL datasheet, AUIRF5210STRL pinout, AUIRF5210STRL application, or AUIRF5210STRL equivalent, this part supports critical design tasks including high-side load switching, motor control H-bridge upper-leg operation, and reverse polarity protection - all requiring validated -100V blocking, low conduction loss, and rugged unclamped inductive switching performance.
Technical Context
This P-channel MOSFET operates as a high-side switch in automotive power distribution networks, where gate drive is referenced to the source and requires negative VGS for turn-on. Its cellular HEXFET structure delivers ultra-low on-resistance per die area while maintaining thermal robustness up to TJ = 150°C.
The device is fully avalanche-rated with EAS = 120 mJ (single-pulse) and supports repetitive avalanche up to TJmax; its body diode exhibits trr = 170–260 ns and Qrr = 1180–1770 nC, making it suitable for synchronous rectification and inductive load commutation without external freewheeling diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBRDSS | -100 V - Blocks full automotive battery transients including load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) without breakdown. |
| RDS(on) | 60 mΩ max @ -10V VGS, -38A - Enables ≤2.3 W conduction loss at rated current, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID (continuous) | -38 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-current solenoid, fan, and heater drivers in engine bay environments. |
| EAS | 120 mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive energy from relay or motor turn-off without failure. |
| tr/tf | 63 ns / 55 ns - Enables >100 kHz PWM switching in DC-DC converters and motor phase control. |

| Qg | 150–230 nC - Defines gate drive strength requirement; compatible with standard automotive gate drivers (e.g., TLE7183). |
Pinout & Package
Package: D2PAK (TO-263AB), surface-mount, single-ended heat sink interface via exposed drain pad. Thermal resistance RθJC = 0.75°C/W enables direct PCB copper thermal coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current path output terminal | Connected to load supply rail; electrically and thermally tied to large copper pour for heat dissipation. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Serves as high-side switch common point; gate drive must be referenced to this node. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP100P06 | -60V VBRDSS, 10 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package | Limited to 12V systems; lacks automotive qualification and avalanche rating | Select only for non-automotive 12V industrial controls with lower voltage stress. |
| IRF9540NPbF | -100V VBRDSS, 200 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package | Higher conduction loss; no AEC-Q101 qualification; slower switching (tr = 100 ns) | Acceptable for cost-sensitive legacy designs where thermal margin exists and automotive compliance is not required. |
Compared with STP100P06 and IRF9540NPbF, AUIRF5210STRL uniquely combines -100V rating, 60 mΩ on-resistance, AEC-Q101 qualification, and full avalanche capability in a thermally efficient D2PAK package - making it the only choice for new automotive high-side switching designs demanding reliability, efficiency, and transient robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect continuous current rating?
The AUIRF5210STRL has a maximum operating junction temperature of +150°C. At TC = 100°C, its continuous drain current drops to -24A due to thermal derating (1.3 W/°C). This reflects real-world thermal constraints in sealed enclosures - designers must ensure case temperature stays below 100°C to maintain full -38A rating, typically via ≥25 cm² 2-oz copper pad and minimal thermal interface resistance.
Is a gate resistor required, and what value is recommended for automotive PWM operation?
Yes - a gate resistor is required to control dv/dt and prevent oscillation. For 20–50 kHz PWM in automotive motor control, a 10 Ω to 22 Ω resistor between driver output and gate is recommended. This balances switching speed (minimizing tr/tf) against EMI and gate ringing, especially given the device's 230 nC total gate charge and 4.5 nH internal drain inductance.
Can AUIRF5210STRL replace N-channel MOSFETs in high-side configurations?
No - it cannot directly replace N-channel devices without circuit redesign. As a P-channel MOSFET, it requires negative gate-to-source voltage for turn-on, whereas N-channel high-side switches need bootstrapped or isolated gate drivers. Its use eliminates level-shifting complexity but mandates gate drive referenced to the source node, which changes PCB layout and driver selection.
Does the body diode support continuous bidirectional current in H-bridge applications?
The integrated body diode supports reverse current up to -38A continuously and -140A pulsed, but its forward voltage is -1.6V at -23A and recovery time is 170–260 ns. In H-bridge motor control, it conducts freewheeling current during off-time; however, for high-efficiency or high-frequency (>20 kHz) operation, an external Schottky diode may be added in parallel to reduce conduction loss and improve recovery behavior.
