Product details
Overview
AUIRFL014N from Infineon is an automotive-grade N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in SOT-223 package, rated for 55 V VDS, 0.16 Ω RDS(on) max at VGS = 10 V and ID = 1.9 A, with 150 °C maximum junction temperature and full avalanche rating - deployed in low-power engine control modules, body electronics load switching, and LED lighting drivers.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFL014N datasheet, AUIRFL014N pinout, AUIRFL014N application, or AUIRFL014N equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.9 A continuous drain current at 70 °C ambient, 7.0 nC typical gate charge, 150 °C thermal limit, and SOT-223 footprint compatibility with space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device uses Infineon's advanced planar silicon process to achieve low on-resistance per die area while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its dynamic dv/dt rating of 5.0 V/ns and 48 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (VDD = 25 V, TJ = 25 °C) support reliable operation in noisy automotive transients.
The MOSFET features a fully rated body diode with 1.7 A repetitive avalanche current and 41 ns reverse recovery time (TJ = 25 °C, IF = 1.7 A), enabling efficient freewheeling in inductive loads such as solenoids and small motors without external diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS Rating | 55 V - supports 12 V automotive systems with margin against load dump transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.16 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 1.9 A - enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 1.9 A, suitable for thermally constrained PCB-mount designs. |
| ID continuous | 1.9 A @ TA = 25 °C, 1.5 A @ TA = 70 °C - defines usable current range on FR-4 boards with minimum footprint. |
| Qg typ. | 7.0 nC - determines gate drive power requirement and switching speed in 10–100 kHz PWM applications. |
| TJ max | +150 °C - allows operation in under-hood environments without derating below ambient 125 °C. |
| EAS | 48 mJ - ensures single-event robustness during inductive turn-off without snubber circuits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-223 (TO-261AA), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed drain pad. Mounting requires minimum recommended copper land pattern per Infineon standard footprint for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Drain) | Main current path output | Internally connected to exposed metal tab - must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal dissipation and EMI shielding. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <7.0 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD, needs series resistor for ringing suppression. |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference node / return path | Common source connection for load-switching topology; ties to ground plane and provides body diode cathode reference. |
| Pin 4 (Drain, Tab) | Primary thermal & electrical path | Electrically identical to Pin 1; mechanical mounting point for heat transfer - not isolated from drain potential. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | Qualified per AEC-Q101 - validated for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock in engine bay and cabin environments. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Rated for unlimited repetitive avalanche events up to TJmax - eliminates need for overvoltage clamping in relay replacement circuits. |
| Dynamic dv/dt immunity | 5.0 V/ns - prevents false turn-on during fast voltage transients common in 48 V mild-hybrid systems. |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JESD204B - compatible with lead-free reflow profiles and automotive supply chain traceability requirements. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Solenoid Driver | Automotive Interior LED Lighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving fuel injector or idle air control valve solenoids in 12 V ECU subsystems with PWM duty cycles up to 90%. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling inductive load current; handles 1.7 A peak with 41 ns diode recovery to minimize cross-conduction loss.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current switch in linear or PWM-controlled LED string configuration; leverages 150 °C TJmax for sustained 1.5 A operation at 85 °C ambient. Use Value: Enables direct PCB-mount design without heatsink, achieving >92% efficiency at 1.3 A due to 0.16 Ω RDS(on). |
| Body Control Module (BCM) Window Lift Motor | Start-Stop System Auxiliary Load Switch |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional H-bridge half-bridge element for reversible DC motor control in power window actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: N-channel high-side or low-side switch; relies on 120 °C/W RθJA (FR-4) and 48 mJ EAS to survive motor stall and back-EMF spikes. Use Value: Supports 15 A pulsed current (IDM) for short-duration stall conditions without thermal shutdown or avalanche failure. | Use Scenario: Isolating auxiliary loads (e.g., HVAC blower, infotainment) during engine cranking to maintain stable 9 V bus voltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability load switch activated by microcontroller GPIO; uses ±20 V VGS rating to tolerate gate drive noise during cranking transients. Use Value: Guarantees uninterrupted operation across -40 °C to +125 °C ambient with no parameter drift beyond spec limits. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive MOSFET switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL10DN5LF3 | RDS(on) = 0.12 Ω @ 4.5 V, lower gate threshold (1.0–2.5 V), but only 40 V VDS | Better suited for 5 V logic-driven low-voltage modules; insufficient for 12 V load dump margin. | Select when gate drive is 3.3/5 V MCU and system voltage never exceeds 24 V. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | 55 V VDS, 0.095 Ω RDS(on), SO-8FL package - higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 130 °C/W) than SOT-223 | Higher power density but poorer PCB thermal coupling; requires larger copper area for same ID. | Prefer for higher-current designs where SO-8FL layout fits and thermal vias can be added. |
Compared with STL10DN5LF3 and NTMFS4C09NT1G, AUIRFL014N offers balanced trade-offs: sufficient 55 V margin for automotive transients, proven SOT-223 thermal performance on FR-4, and AEC-Q101 qualification without requiring gate-level translation or complex thermal management.

FAQ
Is AUIRFL014N suitable for hot-swap applications?
No - AUIRFL014N lacks integrated current limiting, thermal shutdown, or soft-start circuitry required for safe hot-swap insertion. It functions as a basic power switch and must be paired with external current-sense and control logic for inrush management.
What is the maximum PCB copper area needed for 1.9 A continuous operation?
Per Infineon's SOT-223 thermal guidelines, 1 inch² of 2 oz copper with 6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) under the drain tab achieves ~60 °C/W RθJA, enabling 1.9 A at 70 °C ambient. Minimum recommended footprint on FR-4 is 0.25 inch² with 2-layer construction.
Does AUIRFL014N require a gate resistor in standard 12 V automotive PWM circuits?
Yes - a 10–22 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by PCB trace inductance and MOSFET input capacitance (Ciss = 190 pF), especially at switching frequencies above 20 kHz, preventing unintended turn-on from dv/dt coupling.
Can AUIRFL014N replace older IRFL014N in legacy designs?
Yes - AUIRFL014N is the automotive-qualified (AEC-Q101) version of IRFL014N with identical pinout, RDS(on), and VDS ratings, plus enhanced temperature range (-55 °C to +150 °C) and qualified reliability testing for automotive use cases.
