Product details
Overview
AUIRFR48ZTRL from Infineon is an automotive-grade N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 55 V VDS, 11 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 42 A continuous drain current (package-limited). It delivers fast switching (tr = 61 ns, tf = 35 ns), 175°C junction operation, and tested repetitive avalanche capability up to 110 mJ - deployed in engine control modules, DC-DC converters, and high-side load switches.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFR48ZTRL datasheet, AUIRFR48ZTRL pinout, AUIRFR48ZTRL application, or AUIRFR48ZTRL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.64°C/W RθJC, 37 A body diode conduction with 1.3 V VSD, and validated unclamped inductive switching performance under automotive thermal transients.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's advanced silicon process to minimize conduction loss while maintaining robustness against repetitive avalanche stress. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 40–60 nC, Qgd = 15 nC) supports efficient high-frequency PWM control in 12 V/24 V automotive systems.
The device integrates a low-loss intrinsic body diode (trr = 20–40 ns, Qrr = 14–28 nC) and exhibits stable threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V) across −55°C to +175°C, enabling reliable start-stop and cold-crank operation without gate drive derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Withstands peak transients in 24 V automotive systems (e.g., load dump up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a). |
| RDS(on) max | 11 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 37 A - Enables ≤0.5 W conduction loss at 42 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID (pkg-lim) | 42 A @ TC = 25°C - Defines maximum continuous current under standard PCB-mount thermal conditions. |
| EAS (tested) | 110 mJ - Verified single-pulse avalanche energy at TJ = 25°C, L = 0.11 mH, IAS = 37 A - supports robust fault handling. |
| tr/tf | 61 ns / 35 ns @ VDD = 28 V, ID = 37 A - Enables >200 kHz switching in synchronous buck converters. |
| RθJC | 1.64°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance measured at ~90°C; enables direct heatsink mounting for high-power density designs. |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–4.0 V - Gate threshold range ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level drivers in microcontroller-based controls. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D-Pak (TO-252), surface-mount, single-die configuration with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main power output terminal | Connected to exposed copper pad on bottom of package; primary current path and thermal interface to PCB heatsink. |
| Source (S) | Power return / reference node | Low-inductance source connection; internal bond wires limit LS to 7.5 nH - critical for EMI control in fast-switching apps. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <200 nA leakage at ±20 V; designed for direct MCU GPIO or dedicated gate driver IC interfacing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 8.86 mΩ typical at 10 V gate drive - reduces I²R losses by >30% vs. legacy 55 V automotive MOSFETs in 40 A applications. |
| 175°C operating junction | Rated continuous operation up to +175°C - eliminates derating in under-hood environments (e.g., transmission control units). |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated per Fig. 12a–12b and AN-1005 - allows safe operation in unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, HTRB, and UIS, supporting ASIL-B system integration. |
| Lead-free & RoHS | Halogen-free, Pb-free terminations - compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JESD201A vibration standards. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 55 V automotive power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL130N5LF6AG | Lower RDS(on) (5.5 mΩ typ), but only 150°C TJ rating and no published repetitive avalanche data. | Suitable for non-safety-critical 12 V loads where thermal margin exceeds 25°C; not recommended for ECU or EPS. | Select when lower conduction loss is prioritized over extreme temperature or fault robustness. |
| IRF1405ZPBF | Higher RDS(on) (12.5 mΩ), 175°C rated, but AEC-Q101 not claimed; TO-220 package limits board-level power density. | Acceptable for legacy 24 V industrial controls; lacks automotive qualification documentation and D-Pak thermal efficiency. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive replacements where footprint and qualification are secondary. |
Compared with STL130N5LF6AG and IRF1405ZPBF, AUIRFR48ZTRL uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 175°C operation, verified repetitive avalanche, and D-Pak thermal performance - making it the only option qualified for ASIL-B-relevant high-side switching in engine and steering domains.

FAQ
Is AUIRFR48ZTRL qualified to AEC-Q101?
Yes, AUIRFR48ZTRL is fully AEC-Q101 qualified per Infineon's published qualification report. It has passed temperature cycling, high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), and unclamped inductive switching (UIS) tests required for automotive discrete semiconductors. Qualification data is accessible via Infineon's official automotive product portal.
What is the maximum allowable gate voltage for AUIRFR48ZTRL?
The absolute maximum gate-to-source voltage (VGS) is ±20 V. Operation above +20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage; operation below −20 V may cause gate punch-through. For reliable lifetime, gate drive should be limited to +10 V to +15 V for optimal RDS(on) and +5 V minimum for guaranteed turn-on at high temperature.
Can AUIRFR48ZTRL replace IRFR48Z in existing designs?
No - AUIRFR48ZTRL is the automotive-qualified version with tighter parametric screening, enhanced avalanche testing, and AEC-Q101 certification. While electrically compatible, IRFR48Z lacks automotive qualification, higher-temperature validation, and traceable lot-level reliability data required for OEM production.
Does AUIRFR48ZTRL require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a series gate resistor (typically 10–22 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 160 pF) and parasitic inductance. Without it, fast edges (tr/tf < 100 ns) can excite oscillations leading to false turn-on or localized gate overvoltage exceeding ±20 V.
