Product details
Overview
AUIRF6215 from Infineon Technologies is an automotive-grade N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for -150 V V(BR)DSS, 0.29 Ω RDS(on) max at VGS = -10 V and TJ = 25°C, -13 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and qualified per AEC-Q101. It integrates a rugged body diode and is used in high-side switching circuits of automotive DC-DC converters and motor control inverters.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRF6215 datasheet, AUIRF6215 pinout, AUIRF6215 application, or AUIRF6215 equivalent, key selection criteria include its negative threshold voltage (-2.0 to -4.0 V), low gate charge (66 nC), fast switching (tr = 36 ns, tf = 37 ns), avalanche energy rating (13 mJ), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.4 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-voltage, high-current unidirectional switch with intrinsic body diode conduction capability. Its negative gate threshold and low RDS(on) support efficient high-side configuration in 12 V/24 V automotive systems where reverse polarity protection and load dump tolerance are required.
The MOSFET features thermally limited single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 13 mJ), robust dv/dt immunity (≥4.4 V/ns), and dynamic parameters optimized for hard-switched topologies: Qgd/Qg ratio ≈ 53%, Crss/Ciss ≈ 15%, and internal source/drain inductance (LS = 7.5 nH, LD = 4.5 nH) confirmed under standardized test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | -150 V - Withstands reverse-biased drain-source voltage up to 150 V without breakdown, enabling use in 24 V automotive systems with load-dump transients. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.29 Ω @ VGS = -10 V, TJ = 25°C - Ensures <1.2 W conduction loss at -13 A, critical for thermal management in sealed engine bay environments. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | -13 A - Supports continuous high-current loads such as fuel pump drivers and HVAC blower motors without derating at case temperature ≤25°C. |
| Qg | 66 nC - Determines gate drive power requirement; compatible with standard automotive gate drivers (e.g., IR2110, UCC27531) without excessive heat generation. |
| EAS | 13 mJ - Enables safe operation during inductive turn-off events in relay/snubberless solenoid driving without external clamping. |
| RθJC | 1.4 °C/W - Allows direct heatsink mounting with minimal thermal interface resistance; junction-to-case path dominates thermal design in board-mounted applications. |
| tr / tf | 36 ns / 37 ns @ ID = -6.6 A - Enables >100 kHz switching in DC-DC stages while limiting switching losses and EMI generation. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard through-hole mounting, and screw-compatible flange (6-32 or M3). Thermal pad on backside requires mechanical fastening and thermal interface material for optimal heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives negative voltage relative to source to turn on; threshold range -2.0 to -4.0 V ensures noise margin in noisy automotive harnesses. |
| D (Drain) | High-side power output | Internally connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits. |
| S (Source) | Power return/reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; internal source inductance (7.5 nH) affects high-speed commutation stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood operation (−40°C to +175°C TJ), including temperature cycling, HTRB, and UIS stress tests. |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit | 19.1 Ω·nC - Balances conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency 100–200 kHz DC-DC conversion in ADAS power supplies. |
| Body diode with soft recovery | trr = 160–240 ns, Qrr = 1.2–1.7 nC - Reduces voltage overshoot and ringing during freewheeling in half-bridge motor drives. |
| High dv/dt immunity | Rated ≥4.4 V/ns - Prevents false turn-on during fast transient coupling in high-noise engine control modules. |
Applications
| Automotive DC-DC Converter | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage automotive power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP140NF55 | V(BR)DSS = -55 V, RDS(on) = 0.008 Ω, Qg = 120 nC - lower voltage rating, higher gate charge | Not suitable for 48 V or load-dump tolerant designs; limited to 12 V low-side switching only | Select only if operating voltage stays below 40 V and gate drive strength supports 120 nC charge. |
| IXTP10N50D2 | V(BR)DSS = -500 V, RDS(on) = 0.55 Ω, Qg = 24 nC - higher voltage, higher on-resistance, lower gate charge | Better for industrial AC-DC PFC stages but exceeds automotive thermal envelope at 13 A | Prefer for universal input offline SMPS; avoid in space-constrained automotive modules due to 0.55 Ω loss. |
Compared with STP140NF55 and IXTP10N50D2, AUIRF6215 uniquely balances -150 V rating, 0.29 Ω on-resistance, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it the only viable choice for 24/48 V automotive high-side switching where both transient robustness and thermal efficiency are mandatory.

FAQ
Is AUIRF6215 suitable for high-side switching with floating gate drive?
Yes. Its negative VGS(th) (-2.0 to -4.0 V) and -150 V V(BR)DSS enable robust high-side operation when paired with isolated gate drivers like the Si8233 or ADuM4120. The TO-220AB drain-tab isolation supports direct heatsink mounting without shorting the drain to system ground.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies -13 A ID at TC = 25°C and derates linearly at 0.71 W/°C above that point. For continuous -13 A operation, TC must not exceed 100°C (calculated from PD = ID² × RDS(on) = 49 W, and RθJC = 1.4 °C/W → ΔT = 68.6°C → TC ≤ 25 + 68.6 ≈ 94°C).
Does AUIRF6215 require external avalanche protection in inductive load circuits?
No. Its 13 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating is validated per AEC-Q101 test condition UIS, allowing safe operation during worst-case inductive turn-off without snubbers-provided peak current and voltage remain within SOA limits defined in Fig. 11 of the datasheet.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky alternatives?
The integrated body diode has VSD = -1.6 V and trr = 160–240 ns, which is slower and higher-drop than Schottky diodes but eliminates component count and layout complexity. It is optimized for controlled freewheeling-not high-frequency rectification-making it appropriate for motor drive half-bridges but not for synchronous rectifier applications above 50 kHz.
