Product details
Overview
AUIRLR120N from Infineon is an automotive-qualified N-channel D-Pak (TO-252AA) HEXFET® Power MOSFET with 100 V VBRDSS, 0.185 Ω RDS(on) @ 10 VGS, 10 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 175°C maximum junction temperature-designed for high-reliability DC-DC converters, motor drivers, and load switches in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRLR120N datasheet, AUIRLR120N pinout, AUIRLR120N application, or AUIRLR120N equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), repetitive avalanche rating (EAR = 4.8 mJ), fast switching (tr = 35 ns, tf = 22 ns), and thermal robustness (RθJC = 3.1 °C/W).
Technical Context
This N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET uses advanced planar silicon processing to achieve low on-resistance per die area while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its dynamic dV/dt rating (5.0 V/ns) and fully avalanche-rated structure support reliable operation under harsh automotive transients.
The device integrates a monolithic body diode with trr = 110–160 ns and Qrr = 410–620 nC, enabling efficient synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck converters and H-bridge motor drives without external diode supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBRDSS | 100 V - Withstands up to 100 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset; suitable for 48 V automotive systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.185 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 6 A - Enables <1.1 W conduction loss at 10 A, reducing heatsink requirements in space-constrained modules. |
| ID continuous | 10 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports sustained 10 A load switching in engine bay environments when properly heatsinked. |
| Qg | 20 nC - Low gate charge enables fast turn-on/off with modest gate driver current (e.g., 1 A peak suffices for <20 ns rise time). |
| tr/tf | 35 ns / 22 ns - Minimizes switching losses in PWM frequencies up to 200 kHz, critical for high-efficiency DC-DC stages. |
| TJ max | +175°C - Rated for under-hood operation without derating in ambient temperatures up to +125°C with proper thermal design. |
| EAS | 85 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy allows safe handling of inductive kickback in solenoid and relay drive circuits. |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; surface-mount, single-row 3-pin configuration optimized for PCB heat spreading and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main power output terminal | Electrically and thermally connected to large copper pad; must be soldered to ≥1"² PCB copper for RθJC = 3.1 °C/W performance. |
| Source | Power return path and reference node | Serves as common return for gate drive and load current; low-inductance layout essential for stable switching. |
| Gate | Control input for channel conduction | Logic-level compatible (VGS(th) ≤ 2.0 V); requires <20 nC total charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified per Infineon's automotive stress test standards-validated for 15-year lifetime in engine control, lighting, and ADAS subsystems. |
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | EAR = 4.8 mJ at TJ = 175°C supports repeated inductive turn-off events in motor phase-legs and solenoid drivers. |
| Fast body diode | trr = 110–160 ns with Qrr = 410–620 nC reduces reverse recovery losses and EMI in synchronous rectifier topologies. |
| Thermal robustness | RθJC = 3.1 °C/W and 175°C TJ max allow operation in high-ambient zones (e.g., near exhaust manifolds) with minimal derating. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Fuel Injector Driver | Automotive LED Headlamp Dimming |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-speed, high-current switching of 12 V fuel injectors with inductive flyback suppression. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch controlling injector coil energization/de-energization; handles 10 A pulsed loads with 5 µs turn-on and sub-10 µs turn-off. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating (EAR = 4.8 mJ) absorbs inductive energy without snubber components, reducing BOM count and board area. | Use Scenario: PWM dimming of high-brightness LED arrays in adaptive front-lighting systems (AFS). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-loss, high-frequency (≥20 kHz) current sink switch in constant-current LED driver stage. Use Value: 0.185 Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <1.9 W at 10 A, enabling compact thermal design in sealed headlamp housings. |
| 12 V/48 V DC-DC Converter Primary Switch | Body Control Module (BCM) Load Switch |
Use Scenario: High-efficiency synchronous buck converter stepping 48 V battery down to 12 V for infotainment and telematics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side primary switch operating at 100–200 kHz with 35 ns rise time and 22 ns fall time. Use Value: Low Qg (20 nC) and fast switching minimize gate drive loss and total switching loss, achieving >95% efficiency at 5 A output. | Use Scenario: Controlled power-up/down of subsystems (e.g., window lift motors, seat heaters) with overcurrent and thermal protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Protected high-side load switch with integrated current sensing and thermal shutdown. Use Value: 175°C TJ max and 10 A continuous rating enable reliable operation in hot BCM enclosures without active cooling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL100N10F7 | 100 V, 0.0095 Ω RDS(on), 100 A ID, PowerFLAT 5x6 package, lower RDS(on) but higher Qg (55 nC) | Better conduction efficiency at high current; less suitable for high-frequency switching due to gate charge | Prefer for low-duty-cycle, high-current loads where thermal mass dominates; avoid in >100 kHz SMPS. |
| IRLR024N | 55 V, 0.075 Ω RDS(on), 13 A ID, same D-Pak package, lower voltage rating | Not suitable for 48 V systems; limited to 24 V or lower automotive rails | Select only for legacy 12 V/24 V designs requiring identical footprint and lower cost; verify system voltage margin. |
Compared with STL100N10F7 and IRLR024N, AUIRLR120N uniquely balances 100 V rating, logic-level drive, and moderate gate charge for mid-frequency (50–200 kHz), medium-current (5–10 A) automotive power stages where thermal reliability and avalanche safety are prioritized over ultra-low RDS(on).

FAQ
Is AUIRLR120N pin-compatible with standard D-Pak discrete MOSFETs?
Yes-AUIRLR120N uses the industry-standard D-Pak (TO-252AA) outline with Drain (tab), Source, and Gate pins in the same mechanical configuration as IRLR024N, IRLR3705, and other 3-lead D-Pak MOSFETs. The exposed drain tab must be soldered to a thermal pad per Infineon's recommended footprint in AN-994.
What is the maximum allowable gate-to-source voltage for AUIRLR120N?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±16 V per the datasheet. Operation beyond this risks irreversible gate oxide damage. For robust design, gate drive should be clamped to ≤±12 V using Zener diodes or dedicated gate drivers with rail-limited outputs.
Does AUIRLR120N require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes-a series gate resistor (typically 10–47 Ω) is required to dampen parasitic oscillation caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 50 pF) and PCB trace inductance. Without it, ringing during switching can exceed VGS ratings and cause erratic turn-on/turn-off behavior.
Can AUIRLR120N replace IRLR120N in existing designs?
Yes-with caveats: AUIRLR120N is the automotive-qualified (AEC-Q101) version of IRLR120N, sharing identical electrical specs and package. It adds enhanced process controls, extended temperature range (−55°C to +175°C), and full traceability-making it suitable for drop-in replacement where automotive reliability is mandated.
