Product details
Overview
AUIRFZ44VZS from Infineon is an automotive-grade N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D2-Pak package, rated for 60 V VDS, 9.6 mΩ RDS(on) (typ.) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 34 A, with 175°C maximum junction temperature and 230 A pulsed drain current capability. It serves as a high-efficiency main or synchronous rectifier switch in 12 V automotive power systems including engine control units and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFZ44VZS datasheet, AUIRFZ44VZS pinout, AUIRFZ44VZS application, or AUIRFZ44VZS equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low on-resistance, repetitive avalanche rating up to Tjmax, fast switching (tr = 62 ns, tf = 38 ns), 175°C thermal rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood reliability.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's advanced planar HEXFET process optimized for low conduction loss and robust unclamped inductive switching. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 43 nC typ., Qgd = 18 nC) supports efficient hard-switching in 20–200 kHz automotive SMPS topologies.
The device integrates a co-packaged body diode with low VSD (1.3 V max at IS = 34 A) and fast reverse recovery (trr = 23 ns typ.), enabling reliable operation in freewheeling and synchronous rectification roles without external diode supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Withstands transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (12 V system), suitable for battery-connected loads. |
| RDS(on) (typ.) | 9.6 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 34 A - Enables <1.1 W conduction loss at 34 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID (cont.) | 57 A at TC = 25°C - Supports high-current motor drivers and starter solenoid interfaces. |
| EAS (tested) | 110 mJ - Validated single-pulse avalanche energy ensures robustness against inductive kickback in relay/valve drivers. |
| tr/tf | 62 ns / 38 ns - Minimizes switching losses in 100 kHz+ buck converters used in ADAS camera modules. |
| TJ max | +175°C - Certified for under-hood placement per AEC-Q101, eliminating derating at ambient >125°C. |
| Qg | 43 nC - Compatible with standard gate drivers (e.g., UCC27531) without requiring high-current buffers. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in surface-mount D2-Pak (TO-263) package with isolated tab (drain-connected). Thermal resistance RθJC = 1.64°C/W enables direct heatsink mounting via screw or clip.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control input | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; threshold voltage 2.0–4.0 V allows compatibility with 3.3 V microcontrollers when biased. |
| D (Drain) | High-side power path | Internally connected to metal tab; requires insulated mounting when heatsink is grounded. |
| S (Source) | Return path & reference | Serves as local ground reference for gate driver; internal source inductance (LS = 7.5 nH) impacts high-dI/dt ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 9.6 mΩ typ. at 10 V drive reduces conduction loss by 35% vs. legacy 60 V MOSFETs in 12 V starter circuits. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Rated for unlimited repetitive avalanche events up to Tjmax, validated per Fig. 15/16 - eliminates need for snubbers in solenoid drivers. |
| 175°C junction rating | Enables operation in engine bay environments where ambient exceeds 125°C without thermal shutdown or derating. |
| Fast body diode | trr = 23 ns typ., Qrr = 17 nC - minimizes cross-conduction loss and EMI in synchronous buck stages. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Injector Driver | Automotive DC-DC Converter (12 V → 5 V) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-speed switching of fuel injector coils with 12 V supply and inductive flyback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch handling 5–10 A peak pulses at 1–10 Hz, absorbing unclamped inductive energy. Use Value: 110 mJ tested EAS and 175°C rating ensure no failure during cold-cranking (−40°C to +150°C case temp). | Use Scenario: Synchronous rectifier in 100 kHz buck converter powering infotainment SoCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch conducting continuous 8 A with 62 ns rise time and 38 ns fall time. Use Value: 9.6 mΩ RDS(on) cuts conduction loss to 0.61 W, enabling natural convection cooling. |

Use Value: 57 A continuous rating at 25°C case and 40 A at 100°C enable compact motor driver PCB layout. | Use Scenario: PWM-controlled 20 A blower fan in cabin air system with variable speed demand. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended switch modulating fan voltage using linear or switching regulation. Use Value: Fast switching (ton/toff < 50 ns) and low Qg reduce gate drive power and EMI filtering cost. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 60 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6F7 | RDS(on) = 1.8 mΩ (lower), but 80 V VDS, DFN8 5×6 mm package, no isolated tab | Requires PCB copper pour for thermal management; unsuitable for bolted heatsinks | Select when board space is constrained and thermal interface uses soldered copper, not mechanical mounting. |
| IRFZ44NPBF | Same die, but commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), 150°C Tj max, tube-only packaging | Lacks automotive qualification; not approved for safety-critical or under-hood use | Select only for non-automotive prototypes or cost-sensitive industrial controls with ambient <85°C. |
Compared with STL220N6F7 and IRFZ44NPBF, AUIRFZ44VZS uniquely balances automotive qualification, D2-Pak mechanical robustness, and 175°C operation-making it the only choice for production ECU and EPS systems requiring bolted heatsink integration and AEC-Q101 compliance.

FAQ
Is AUIRFZ44VZS pin-compatible with IRFZ44N?
Yes - both use identical D2-Pak (TO-263) footprint and pinout (G-D-S). However, AUIRFZ44VZS adds AEC-Q101 qualification, 175°C rating, and tighter RDS(on) distribution (9.6 mΩ typ. vs. 17.5 mΩ typ. for IRFZ44N), making it a drop-in upgrade for automotive designs.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor for hard-switching at 100 kHz?
For 100 kHz operation with minimal overshoot, a 12 Ω gate resistor is validated per datasheet Figure 18a. This value limits peak gate current to ~0.83 A while maintaining tr/tf within 62/38 ns, avoiding shoot-through in half-bridge configurations.
Does AUIRFZ44VZS require a negative gate turn-off voltage?
No - the device operates reliably with 0 V to +10 V gate drive. Its VGS(th) range (2.0–4.0 V) and ±20 V absolute maximum rating allow safe 0 V turn-off without risk of spurious conduction, even under high dV/dt noise in automotive harnesses.
Can AUIRFZ44VZS be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (0.061 V/°C) ensures inherent current sharing. For two devices, use matched gate resistors (<5% tolerance) and symmetrical PCB layout to balance dynamic current distribution up to 100 A total load.
