Product details
Overview
AUIRFR8403 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel automotive-grade HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D-Pak package, rated for 40 V VDS, 2.4 mΩ typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 100 A package-limited continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It serves as a high-efficiency main power switch in electric power steering (EPS), start/stop battery switches, and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFR8403 datasheet, AUIRFR8403 pinout, AUIRFR8403 application, or AUIRFR8403 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175°C junction rating, repetitive avalanche capability up to IAR = 76 A, fast switching (tr = 32 ns, tf = 23 ns), low Qgd = 22 nC, and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced silicon processing to achieve ultra-low on-resistance per die area while maintaining robust thermal performance. Its integral body diode supports synchronous rectification and unclamped inductive switching with validated EAS = 114 mJ (thermally limited) and EAR = 99 mJ (tested).
The device operates with gate threshold voltage VGS(th) = 2.2–3.9 V, exhibits strong temperature stability (dVBRDSS/dTJ = 0.03 V/°C), and delivers high transconductance gfs = 283 S - enabling precise gate drive control in high-current automotive power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V/24 V automotive battery systems including load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) max | 3.1 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, TJ = 125°C - Ensures <1.5 W conduction loss at 76 A, critical for EPS motor drive efficiency. |
| ID (package) | 100 A continuous at TC = 25°C - Defined by bond wire current limit; enables high-power switching without external paralleling. |
| EAR | 99 mJ repetitive avalanche energy - Validated for unclamped inductive turn-off in DC-DC converter freewheeling paths. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Enables operation in under-hood environments with minimal derating, supporting ASIL-B system compliance. |
| Qgd | 22 nC - Low Miller charge reduces switching losses and improves immunity to dv/dt-induced false turn-on in high-noise EPS modules. |
| VSD | 0.9–1.3 V forward voltage of integrated body diode - Supports bidirectional current flow in regenerative braking interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D-Pak (TO-252AA), surface-mount, single-ended heat sink interface via exposed drain pad. Thermal resistance RθJC = 1.52°C/W enables direct PCB copper pour cooling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main power output terminal | Internally connected to exposed metal pad; primary thermal path and high-current return node in half-bridge configurations. |
| Source (S) | Power ground reference | Low-inductance source connection for gate driver return; defines common-mode voltage for current sensing. |
| Gate (G) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <2.7 Ω series resistance to suppress ringing during 10 V logic-level drive. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 175°C junction rating | Enables sustained operation in engine bay locations without forced air cooling or oversized heatsinks. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated for ≥1000 cycles at IAR = 76 A, supporting reliable unclamped inductive switching in EPS motor phase legs. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 2.4 mΩ typ. at 10 V drive reduces conduction loss by >35% vs. legacy 40 V automotive MOSFETs, improving system efficiency. |
| Fast switching (tr/tf) | 32 ns rise / 23 ns fall time at ID = 76 A minimizes transition losses in 20–100 kHz DC-DC and motor control PWM stages. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Passes stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, TC, UHAST, and ESD per automotive reliability standards. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 1.8 mΩ RDS(on), 220 A package rating, but 150°C TJ max and no documented repetitive avalanche rating. | Lacks validated EAR specification; unsuitable for unclamped inductive loads like EPS motor phases. | Select only for purely resistive or clamped inductive switching where avalanche immunity is not required. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | 40 V, 2.6 mΩ RDS(on), 175°C TJ, but only 70 A package rating and no AEC-Q101 documentation in public datasheet. | Lower current capacity requires paralleling for 100 A applications; automotive qualification status unconfirmed. | Prefer only for non-safety-critical industrial loads where AEC-Q101 is not mandated. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and NTMFS4C09NT1G, AUIRFR8403 uniquely combines 100 A package rating, 175°C operation, AEC-Q101 certification, and validated 99 mJ repetitive avalanche energy - making it the only drop-in solution for ASIL-B EPS and start-stop battery switches.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-to-source voltage for AUIRFR8403?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V. Operation above ±15 V risks gate oxide degradation, while drive below 4.5 V may result in incomplete turn-on and excessive RDS(on). Recommended gate drive is 10 V with series resistance ≤2.7 Ω to dampen ringing.
Does AUIRFR8403 require a gate driver IC in automotive applications?
Yes - due to its 66 nC total gate charge and low 1.5 Ω internal gate resistance, a dedicated gate driver (e.g., Infineon 2EDN7524) is required to achieve specified 32 ns rise time and prevent shoot-through in half-bridge configurations used in EPS inverters.
How is thermal performance verified for AUIRFR8403 in D-Pak mounting?
Thermal resistance RθJC = 1.52°C/W is measured with the device mounted on a 1" square FR-4 PCB with 2 oz. copper and 100% solder mask opening on the drain pad. Performance assumes minimum 10 mm² thermal pad area and reflow profile per IPC-J-STD-020.
Can AUIRFR8403 replace AUIRFU8403 in existing designs?
No - AUIRFU8403 uses I-Pak (TO-220AB) package with vertical lead frame and different thermal path. While electrically identical, D-Pak (AUIRFR8403) has lower RθJC but requires PCB redesign for thermal pad layout and footprint; mechanical interchange is not supported.
