Product details
Overview
AUIRFS8409TRL from Infineon Technologies is an automotive-grade N-channel HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, rated for 40 V VDS, 1.2 mΩ max RDS(on) at 10 V VGS, and 195 A continuous drain current (package-limited). It delivers ultra-low conduction loss, 175°C junction operation, and robust repetitive avalanche capability-designed specifically for high-current DC-DC converters and electric power steering (EPS) motor control stages.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFS8409TRL datasheet, AUIRFS8409TRL pinout, AUIRFS8409TRL application, or AUIRFS8409TRL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2 mΩ on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, 450 nC total gate charge, 2130 pF output capacitance, 175°C thermal rating, and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced trench-gate silicon process technology to achieve sub-1.3 mΩ on-resistance while maintaining fast switching performance (tr = 105 ns, tf = 100 ns) and low gate charge (Qg = 450 nC typ). Its body diode exhibits 52 ns reverse recovery time and 97 nC Qrr at 100 A, enabling efficient synchronous rectification in high-frequency buck converters.
The device supports unclamped inductive switching with 1360 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy and allows repetitive avalanche up to Tjmax under defined conditions (L = 0.15 mH, IAS = 100 A, RG = 50 Ω). Thermal design is enabled by RθJC = 0.40 °C/W and a flat case optimized for direct heatsink mounting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V automotive bus systems with margin against load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) max | 1.2 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 100 A, critical for EPS and battery-switch thermal management. |
| ID cont (pkg) | 195 A @ TC = 25°C - Package-limited current defines PCB trace and heatsink sizing for sustained high-power operation. |
| Qg max | 450 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching loss in 100–500 kHz DC-DC topologies. |
| EAS | 1360 mJ - Specifies single-pulse avalanche ruggedness for fault-tolerant motor control and inductive load switching. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Enables operation in under-hood environments without derating in EPS or start-stop modules. |
| Coss | 2130 pF - Impacts hard-switching losses and EMI in high-side configurations; used with Ciss = 14240 pF for snubber design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D2PAK (TO-263), surface-mount, isolated tab, 3-pin configuration with drain-connected tab for thermal and electrical integration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal requiring ≤10 V drive; 2.1 Ω internal gate resistance limits ringing but increases turn-on delay. |
| Pin 2 (D) | Drain | High-current output node connected to exposed copper tab; must be soldered to large thermal pad for RθJC = 0.40 °C/W performance. |
| Pin 3 (S) | Source | Power return path and gate reference; low-inductance layout essential to minimize VGS instability during fast dV/dt transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.97 mΩ typ. @ 10 V - Reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. prior-gen 40 V MOSFETs in 150–200 A EPS inverters. |
| 175°C junction rating | Rated for continuous operation up to 175°C - Eliminates need for external temperature derating in sealed EPS housings. |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | Tested per Fig. 14/15 - Supports reliable operation during short-circuit events in battery disconnect switches without external clamping. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 52 ns, Qrr = 97 nC - Minimizes reverse recovery loss and EMI in synchronous buck regulators above 200 kHz. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Automotive stress-tested - Validated for vibration, temperature cycling, and HTOL per JEDEC standards for safety-critical EPS and micro-hybrid systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current 40 V automotive MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | RDS(on) = 0.75 mΩ max, Qg = 420 nC, TO-263 package, AEC-Q101 qualified | Lower on-resistance but higher Coss (2500 pF); requires stronger gate driver due to higher Qgd | Preferred where conduction loss dominates and gate drive capability supports higher Qg. |
| IRFB4115PBF | RDS(on) = 2.2 mΩ max, TO-220AB package, non-automotive grade, 175°C rating | No AEC-Q101 qualification; lower current rating (110 A pkg-limited); higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 62 °C/W) | Suitable only for non-safety-critical industrial prototypes lacking automotive compliance requirements. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG, AUIRFS8409TRL trades 0.45 mΩ higher RDS(on) for lower Coss and proven avalanche ruggedness in EPS duty cycles; versus IRFB4115PBF, it adds AEC-Q101 validation, 75% higher current rating, and 60% better thermal resistance-making it the only qualified solution for production automotive power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for AUIRFS8409TRL at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current at TC = 100°C is 289 A (silicon-limited), as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes ideal heatsinking and accounts for RDS(on) increase with temperature, but practical design must respect the 195 A package-limited rating to avoid bond-wire failure.
Does AUIRFS8409TRL support synchronous rectification in high-frequency DC-DC converters?
Yes-its 52 ns reverse recovery time, 97 nC Qrr, and low 2130 pF Coss enable efficient synchronous rectification up to 500 kHz. The fast body diode minimizes shoot-through risk and reduces dead-time losses, especially when paired with matched gate drivers and optimized PCB layout.
Is the exposed drain tab electrically isolated from the PCB mounting surface?
No-the drain tab is internally connected to Pin 2 (Drain) and must be electrically isolated from the heatsink or PCB ground plane using insulating thermal pads or ceramic substrates. Direct metal-to-metal contact without isolation creates a short circuit between drain and system ground.
What gate voltage is required to fully enhance AUIRFS8409TRL in automotive 12 V systems?
A minimum of 10 V gate-to-source voltage is required to achieve the specified 1.2 mΩ RDS(on); VGS(th) ranges from 2.2 V to 3.9 V, but full enhancement occurs above 6 V. In 12 V systems, gate drivers must sustain ≥10 V under load to ensure low-loss operation across temperature and aging.
