Product details
Overview
AUIRFR3806 from Infineon is an automotive-grade N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252AA) package, rated for 60 V VDS, 12.6 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 25 A, with 175°C maximum junction temperature and 24 V/ns di/dt-rated body diode recovery. It serves as a high-efficiency main or synchronous rectifier switch in 12 V automotive power systems including DC-DC converters and motor drivers.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFR3806 datasheet, AUIRFR3806 pinout, AUIRFR3806 application, or AUIRFR3806 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 43 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, 7.1 mJ repetitive avalanche energy rating, fast 40 ns rise time, and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101 standards - all critical for under-hood switching reliability.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced planar silicon processing to achieve ultra-low on-resistance density and robust dynamic dV/dt immunity. Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V) and 0.79 Ω internal gate resistance support stable drive with standard 10 V logic-level controllers.
The device integrates a thermally optimized D-Pak package with low 2.12 °C/W RθJC, enabling high-power operation without heatsink in many automotive applications. Its body diode exhibits 22–39 ns reverse recovery time and 17–36 nC Qrr across temperature, supporting efficient synchronous rectification in buck and half-bridge topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Withstands transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (clamped 58 V), suitable for 12 V automotive battery rail. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 12.6 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A - Enables ≤0.8 W conduction loss at 25 A, reducing thermal load in compact modules. |
| ID cont. @ TC = 25°C | 43 A - Supports high-current loads such as radiator fan or EPS motor drivers without parallel devices. |
| EAR | 7.1 mJ - Allows safe repetitive inductive turn-off events in unclamped switching (e.g., solenoid control) up to TJmax. |
| tr / tf | 40 ns / 47 ns - Minimizes switching losses in 100–500 kHz DC-DC converters while maintaining EMI control. |
| TJ max | +175°C - Certified for under-hood environments including engine control units and transmission control modules. |
| Qg | 22 nC typ. - Compatible with low-power gate drivers (e.g., Infineon 2EDN series) without external boost circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; surface-mount construction with 1.6 mm creepage distance and 300°C soldering tolerance for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main power output terminal | Connected to exposed copper pad - must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal dissipation and low-inductance return path. |
| Source (S) | Power return reference node | Serves as common source for gate drive loop; low-inductance layout critical to prevent shoot-through during fast switching. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <100 nA leakage drive; sensitive to ESD - requires series resistor (20–47 Ω) and local decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - validated for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and lifetime reliability in automotive power systems. |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | 7.1 mJ EAR - Enables robust operation in inductive load switching without external snubbers or clamps. |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating | 24 V/ns - Prevents false turn-on during high-slew-rate transients in noisy under-hood environments. |
| Fast body diode recovery | 22 ns trr @ TJ = 25°C - Reduces reverse recovery loss and EMI in synchronous rectifier configurations. |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU - compatible with lead-free reflow profiles and industrial recycling requirements. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6F7 | 60 V, 2.2 mΩ RDS(on), 220 A ID, PowerFLAT 5x6 package, higher capacitance (Ciss = 4200 pF) | Requires larger gate driver due to 62 nC Qg; better suited for high-current, lower-frequency (<100 kHz) motor drives | Select when higher current capacity and lower RDS(on) outweigh switching speed and board space constraints. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS5C670NL | 60 V, 5.2 mΩ RDS(on), 67 A ID, SO-8FL package, 150°C TJmax, no AEC-Q101 certification | Lacks automotive qualification; limited to under-dash or non-safety-critical applications | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-AEC designs where 175°C operation and repetitive avalanche are not required. |
Compared with STL220N6F7 and NTMFS5C670NL, the AUIRFR3806 offers balanced performance: lower gate charge than STL220N6F7 enables faster switching with smaller drivers, and AEC-Q101 qualification plus 175°C rating make it uniquely suitable for safety-critical under-hood use cases where the alternatives fall short.

FAQ
Is AUIRFR3806 pin-compatible with IRFR3806?
No - AUIRFR3806 is the automotive-qualified version with tighter parametric limits (e.g., 175°C TJmax, AEC-Q101 test flow), while IRFR3806 is commercial-grade (150°C, no automotive qualification). Pinout and package are identical, but substitution requires revalidation of thermal and reliability margins.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for AUIRFR3806 in a 250 kHz buck converter?
A 22 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to balance switching speed (40 ns rise time) and ringing suppression. This value limits peak gate current to ~450 mA with a 12 V driver, avoids overshoot on VGS, and keeps EMI within CISPR 25 Class 5 limits for automotive applications.
Can AUIRFR3806 be used in linear mode (as a pass transistor)?
No - it is not characterized or rated for linear (SOA-limited) operation. The Safe Operating Area curve shows RDS(on)-limited conduction only up to 100 µs pulses; sustained linear bias risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) above 100°C.
Does AUIRFR3806 require a Kelvin source connection for high-accuracy current sensing?
No - it lacks a dedicated Kelvin source pin. For accurate high-side current sensing, use external shunt resistors or Hall-effect sensors; the standard source pin introduces measurement error due to package inductance (~1.5 nH) and bond wire resistance during fast transient currents.
