Product details
Overview
AUIRFS8409-7TRL from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D2Pak-7L package, rated for 40 V VDS, 0.55 mΩ typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 240 A continuous drain current (package-limited). It integrates a fast, low-loss body diode and is optimized for high-current synchronous rectification in automotive DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFS8409-7TRL datasheet, AUIRFS8409-7TRL pinout, AUIRFS8409-7TRL application, or AUIRFS8409-7TRL equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low on-resistance, 176 S forward transconductance, 305 nC total gate charge, avalanche-rated operation up to 175 °C, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive powertrain systems.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon-gate technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted drift region design to achieve sub-1 mΩ on-resistance while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching (UIS) capability. Its gate threshold voltage (2.2–3.9 V) enables compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level drivers in high-side and low-side configurations.
The device features a thermally enhanced D2Pak-7L package with exposed source pad and integrated Kelvin source terminal, enabling accurate gate drive referencing and minimizing common-source inductance during high-di/dt switching. Its Coss,eff(TR) of 3306 pF supports efficient zero-voltage switching (ZVS) in resonant topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V/24 V automotive battery rails and 48 V mild-hybrid systems. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.55 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, TJ = 25 °C - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 100 A, critical for thermal management in compact power modules. |
| ID (pkg-lim) | 240 A @ TC = 25 °C - Package-limited current defines maximum steady-state output in PCB-mounted heatsink applications. |
| Qg | 305 nC max. - Gate drive energy requirement determines driver IC selection and switching loss trade-off in 100–500 kHz converters. |
| EAS | 764 mJ (tested) - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche energy supports reliable operation under load dump or short-circuit fault conditions. |
| TJ range | −55 to +175 °C - AEC-Q101 qualified junction temperature range ensures functionality across engine bay and powertrain environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40 V, 0.42 mΩ typ., DFN8 5×6 mm package, no Kelvin source | Limited to ≤100 A continuous due to smaller thermal footprint; unsuitable for >150 A board-level heatsinking | Select only for space-constrained, lower-current auxiliary rails where Kelvin sensing is not required. |
| IXTH30N40P | 400 V, 0.12 Ω, TO-247 package, higher RDS(on), no AEC-Q101 | Designed for industrial SMPS-not qualified for automotive vibration, temperature cycling, or fault tolerance requirements | Not recommended for automotive use; consider only for non-automotive 40 V industrial DC-DC where qualification is waived. |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the Kelvin source (SK) pin on AUIRFS8409-7TRL?
The Kelvin source (Pin 4) provides a dedicated low-current return path for gate driver feedback, isolating the gate control loop from high di/dt power current paths. This eliminates voltage spikes induced by source inductance during switching transitions, preventing false turn-on and improving noise immunity in high-frequency (>200 kHz) synchronous rectifiers.
Can AUIRFS8409-7TRL be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) and matched threshold voltage distribution enable stable current sharing. However, layout must ensure symmetrical gate drive, identical trace lengths, and shared thermal mass; the Kelvin source must be routed separately for each device to preserve gate loop integrity.
Is the body diode suitable for reverse recovery in hard-switched topologies?
Yes-the body diode exhibits trr = 50 ns and Qrr = 59 nC at TJ = 25 °C, making it viable for hard-switched 100–300 kHz applications. At 125 °C, trr increases to 58 ns and Qrr to 72 nC; soft-switching or active clamp is recommended above 250 kHz to limit diode loss.
Does AUIRFS8409-7TRL require gate resistors for automotive EMI compliance?
Yes-gate resistance directly controls dv/dt and di/dt. For CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance, typical RG values range from 2.2 Ω to 4.7 Ω (as specified in datasheet Fig. 25a), balancing EMI suppression against switching loss. Layout must minimize gate loop area and avoid coupling to sensitive analog traces.
