Product details
Overview
AUIRFSL8405 from Infineon Technologies is an automotive-grade N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-262 package, rated for 40V VDSS, 1.9mΩ typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, 193A silicon-limited continuous drain current, and 175°C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a high-efficiency main power switch in electric power steering (EPS) and start-stop battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFSL8405 datasheet, AUIRFSL8405 pinout, AUIRFSL8405 application, or AUIRFSL8405 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low on-resistance, repetitive avalanche capability up to Tjmax, fast switching (tr = 128ns), body diode recovery performance (Qrr = 44nC), and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced trench-gate process technology to minimize conduction losses while maintaining robust thermal and avalanche performance. Its gate threshold voltage (2.2–3.9V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3V/5V logic-level drivers in automotive microcontroller interfaces.
The device integrates a co-packaged intrinsic p-n junction body diode with 0.9–1.3V forward voltage and 44ns reverse recovery time at 100A, enabling synchronous rectification and freewheeling in high-current DC-DC converters without external diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; suitable for 12V/24V automotive battery rails with margin against load-dump transients. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 1.9mΩ @ VGS = 10V, ID = 100A - Enables <1.9W conduction loss at 100A, critical for thermally constrained EPS motor control modules. |
| ID (Silicon Limited) | 193A @ TC = 25°C - Reflects die current capacity before thermal saturation; actual usable current limited by package and PCB layout. |
| EAS (tested) | 181mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating validated per JEDEC JESD24-11; supports fault-tolerant operation during inductive load switching. |
| Qg | 107nC typ. - Total gate charge determines driver strength requirement; compatible with standard automotive gate drivers (e.g., INFINEON 2EDN7524R). |
| TJ max | 175°C - Extended junction temperature enables operation in engine bay environments without derating below ambient 125°C. |
| Coss eff. (ER) | 878pF - Energy-related effective output capacitance used to calculate switching loss during hard-switched transitions. |
Pinout & Package
TO-262 (Straight Lead, 3-Pin) package with exposed drain tab for low-thermal-resistance mounting to heatsink. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control input | Receives voltage-controlled signal to modulate channel conductivity; requires <2.3Ω internal gate resistance for predictable switching timing. |
| Drain (D) | High-side power terminal | Connected to battery rail or inductive load; electrically tied to metal tab for direct thermal path to heatsink (RθJC = 0.92°C/W). |
| Source (S) | Return path / reference node | Serves as common return for gate drive and load current; forms Kelvin sense point for accurate current monitoring in closed-loop EPS control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 1.9mΩ typ. reduces I²R losses in high-current EPS motor phases, directly lowering thermal stress on PCB copper and heatsink size. |
| 175°C operating junction temperature | Enables full-rated performance in under-hood locations where ambient exceeds 105°C, eliminating need for forced air cooling in compact modules. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated for repeated energy absorption up to 181mJ per pulse, supporting robustness against inductive kickback in solenoid and relay drive circuits. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 44ns and Qrr = 44nC at 100A allow efficient freewheeling in synchronous buck converters without significant voltage overshoot or shoot-through risk. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Passes stress tests including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per automotive reliability standards-ensures long-term field reliability in safety-critical EPS systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current automotive power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | 40V, 2.2mΩ RDS(on), TO-263 package, 175°C TJmax, but lower EAS (120mJ) and no AEC-Q101 documentation in public datasheet. | Lacks certified automotive qualification; suitable for industrial DC-DC but not safety-critical EPS or start-stop. | Select only if AEC-Q101 is not required and board space permits larger D2Pak footprint. |
| IXTH120N40L2 | 40V, 2.0mΩ RDS(on), TO-247 package, 175°C TJmax, higher Qg (150nC), and unqualified for automotive use. | Higher gate drive power demand and no thermal qualification for under-hood vibration or humidity exposure. | Preferable only for non-automotive high-power UPS or motor drives where thermal margin exceeds 30°C. |
Compared with STL220N4F7AG and IXTH120N40L2, AUIRFSL8405 delivers superior automotive readiness via AEC-Q101 certification, lower gate charge, and higher validated avalanche energy-making it the only choice for ASIL-B compliant EPS and battery disconnect functions.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for AUIRFSL8405 at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the continuous drain current is 137A (silicon-limited) per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating due to reduced channel mobility and increased RDS(on) at elevated temperatures, and assumes proper heatsinking with RθJC ≤ 0.92°C/W.
Is AUIRFSL8405 pin-compatible with AUIRFS8405?
No-AUIRFSL8405 uses TO-262 (straight-lead) packaging, while AUIRFS8405 uses D2Pak (TO-263) packaging. Although both share identical electrical specifications and die, their land patterns, thermal vias, and mechanical mounting differ; PCB redesign is required for substitution.
Does AUIRFSL8405 require a gate resistor for automotive EMI compliance?
Yes-a series gate resistor of 2.7Ω is recommended per the dynamic test conditions in the datasheet to control dv/dt and limit EMI emissions during switching. This value balances rise/fall time (128ns/77ns) against radiated emissions in the 150kHz–30MHz CISPR 25 Class 5 band.
Can AUIRFSL8405 be used in parallel configurations for >200A applications?
Yes-its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (0.026V/°C) enables inherent current sharing when paralleled with matched devices. Designers must ensure symmetrical PCB layout, identical gate drive paths, and thermal coupling to avoid thermal runaway above 150°C junction temperature.
