Product details
Overview
AUIRLS8409-7TRL from Infineon is an automotive-grade N-channel HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D2PAK-7L package, rated for 40 V VDSS, 0.50 mΩ typ. RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 240 A continuous drain current (package-limited), designed for high-current switching in electric power steering and battery disconnect circuits.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRLS8409-7TRL datasheet, AUIRLS8409-7TRL pinout, AUIRLS8409-7TRL application, or AUIRLS8409-7TRL equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low on-resistance at logic-level gate drive (4.5 V), 175°C junction rating, repetitive avalanche capability, and D2PAK-7L thermal performance under high-pulse-current conditions.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced trench process technology to achieve silicon-limited 500 A ID at 25°C and package-limited 240 A continuous conduction, with fast switching (tr = 71 ns, tf = 115 ns) enabled by low gate charge (Qg = 177 nC typ.) and optimized internal gate resistance (RG = 2.0 Ω).
It supports robust unclamped inductive switching via rated repetitive avalanche energy (EAR = 500 mJ at TJ = 25°C), body diode recovery (trr = 52 ns, Qrr = 97 nC), and high dv/dt immunity (2.4 V/ns at TJ = 175°C), all validated per AEC-Q101 for automotive underhood environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; enables use in 12 V/24 V automotive systems with margin against load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 0.50 mΩ at VGS = 10 V - Delivers <12 W conduction loss at 240 A, critical for EPS motor control efficiency. |
| ID cont. (pkg) | 240 A at TC = 25°C - Package-limited continuous current defined by bond wire capacity, not silicon limit. |
| Qg | 177 nC typ. - Enables fast turn-on with moderate gate driver strength; reduces switching losses in 10–100 kHz DC-DC converters. |
| TJ max | +175°C - Supports operation in engine bay locations without derating below ambient +125°C. |
| EAS | 1580 mJ (tested) - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating ensures reliability during inductive turn-off faults in battery switch applications. |
| dv/dt | 2.4 V/ns at TJ = 175°C - High noise immunity prevents spurious turn-on in high-di/dt motor drive environments. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK-7L (TO-263-7) thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed drain pad (pins 1–3 and 5–7 are source; pin 4 is gate; drain connected to backside metal tab). Optimized for PCB heat spreading and high-current routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 | Source | Internally paralleled source terminals reduce package inductance and improve current sharing in high-frequency PWM. |
| 4 | Gate | Single gate input with 2.0 Ω internal resistance; compatible with standard 3.3 V/5 V logic-level drivers without external gate resistor. |
| Drain (Tab) | Drain | Exposed copper drain pad soldered to large PCB copper area; provides <0.4 °C/W RθJC for thermal management in >200 W dissipation scenarios. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Full enhancement at VGS = 4.5 V (RDS(on) ≤ 0.85 mΩ), enabling direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs in EPS ECUs. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.50 mΩ typ. at 10 V - Reduces I²R losses by >40% vs. prior-gen 40 V automotive MOSFETs, extending battery range in start-stop systems. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated EAR up to 500 mJ - Allows safe operation during repeated inductive switching events without external snubbers in DC-DC converter primary switches. |
| 175°C junction rating | Rated for continuous operation at TJ = 175°C - Eliminates thermal derating in confined engine compartment layouts with limited airflow. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP-capable - Meets stress test requirements for vibration, temperature cycling, and humidity for safety-critical EPS and battery disconnect modules. |

| Start/Stop Micro-Hybrid | High-Power DC-DC Converter |
|
Use Scenario: Engine cranking assist and regenerative braking energy routing in 48 V mild hybrid architectures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier and buck/boost switch in bi-directional 48 V–12 V converter; operates at 50–100 kHz. Use Value: Low Qgd/Qgs ratio (80/65 nC) minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk during hard commutation. |
Use Scenario: Primary-side high-frequency switch in isolated 3 kW on-board charger DC-DC stage for EVs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hard-switched MOSFET in full-bridge topology; subjected to 100 A peak drain current and 400 V transient spikes.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4L10AG | 40 V, 0.45 mΩ typ., DFN8 5×6 mm package; lower RDS(on) but 120 A package limit and no avalanche rating. | Suitable for space-constrained low-power EPS modules; not rated for battery disconnect pulse currents >300 A. | Select when board area is critical and peak current <150 A; avoid where unclamped inductive switching occurs. |
| IPB180N04S4-02 | 40 V, 0.55 mΩ typ., TO-263-7 package; AEC-Q101 qualified, 200 A continuous, 1000 mJ EAS. | Lower pulse current capability (1000 A vs. 1200 A) and higher gate charge (210 nC) increase driver complexity. | Prefer for cost-sensitive designs where 175°C operation is not required; verify thermal design with higher RθJA (40 °C/W). |
Compared with STL220N4L10AG and IPB180N04S4-02, AUIRLS8409-7TRL uniquely combines 240 A continuous current, 1200 A pulsed rating, and 1580 mJ tested avalanche energy in a thermally optimized D2PAK-7L package-making it the only option qualified for both high-reliability battery disconnect and high-dynamic EPS motor control.

FAQ
Is AUIRLS8409-7TRL pin-compatible with AUIRLS8409-7P?
Yes - both share identical D2PAK-7L pinout and thermal pad layout. The "-7TRL" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (800 units per reel), while "-7P" indicates tube packaging (50 units). Electrical and thermal specifications are identical; only packaging and reel orientation differ.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor for hard-switching at 100 kHz?
A 2.7 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for switching characterization (td(on), tf). For 100 kHz hard-switching, a 1.5–3.3 Ω non-inductive resistor balances turn-on speed (minimizing overlap loss) and dV/dt control (preventing parasitic oscillation), given the device's 2.0 Ω internal RG and 177 nC Qg.
Does the body diode support synchronous rectification in a 48 V–12 V buck converter?
Yes - the body diode has trr = 52 ns and Qrr = 97 nC at 100 A, enabling efficient synchronous rectification up to ~80 kHz. However, its VSD = 0.8–1.2 V forward drop increases conduction loss versus an external Schottky; best used in asymmetrical topologies where duty cycle favors low-side conduction.
How is thermal performance affected when mounted on 2 oz copper without thermal vias?
RθJA rises from 40 °C/W (1" FR-4) to ~55–60 °C/W with 2 oz copper alone. To maintain TJ < 150°C at 240 A, case temperature must stay below 75°C - achievable only with forced air or heatsink attachment. Thermal vias under the drain pad reduce RθJA by 30–40%, restoring safe operation at full current.
