Product details
Overview
HAT2172N-EL-E from Renesas Electronics is a silicon N-channel power MOSFET designed for high-efficiency, high-current DC power switching in industrial and automotive subsystems. It delivers RDS(on) = 6.1 mΩ (typ.) at VGS = 10 V, supports 30 A continuous drain current, and operates with 40 V VDSS, enabling use in 12 V/24 V battery-powered motor control and load switching applications.
For engineers reviewing the HAT2172N-EL-E datasheet, HAT2172N-EL-E pinout, HAT2172N-EL-E application, or HAT2172N-EL-E equivalent, key selection criteria include its LFPAK-i (PTSP0008DC-A) package thermal performance (θch-C = 6.25 °C/W), 7 V gate drive capability, low Qg = 32 nC, and body diode trr = 32 ns - all critical for synchronous rectification and fast-switching DC-DC converters.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate process optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching. Its gate threshold voltage VGS(off) ranges from 1.5 V to 3.0 V, ensuring reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drivers. The device integrates a robust body diode with VDF = 0.84 V (typ.) at IF = 30 A and trr = 32 ns under di/dt = 100 A/µs, supporting bidirectional current handling in H-bridge configurations.
Thermal design is enabled by its channel-to-case thermal resistance of 6.25 °C/W and maximum channel temperature rating of 150 °C. Avalanche capability is rated at IAP = 20 A and EAR = 20 mJ (Tch = 25 °C, Rg ≥ 50 Ω), allowing limited unclamped inductive switching in protection-critical circuits.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB050N04LGATMA1 | RDS(on) = 4.8 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-263 package; higher Ciss = 3200 pF; θJA = 40 °C/W (vs. HAT2172N-EL-E's θch-C = 6.25 °C/W). | Better conduction loss but inferior thermal coupling; requires larger heatsink or forced air cooling. | Prefer when lowest RDS(on) dominates and board space allows TO-263 footprint. |
| DMTH4007LPS-13 | RDS(on) = 7.0 mΩ @ 10 V; PowerSO-8 package; Qg = 28 nC; tr/tf = 15/4.2 ns; same VDSS = 40 V. | Nearly identical switching speed and gate drive; slightly higher RDS(on); different thermal pad layout. | Drop-in alternative where LFPAK-i assembly infrastructure is unavailable; verify solder paste stencil for PowerSO-8 land pattern. |
Compared with IPB050N04LGATMA1 and DMTH4007LPS-13, the HAT2172N-EL-E offers superior thermal resistance via its LFPAK-i exposed drain, making it optimal for compact, convection-cooled designs - whereas the Infineon part favors high-power density with external heatsinking, and the Diodes Inc. part provides near-equivalent performance in legacy SO-8-compatible layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for the HAT2172N-EL-E?
The HAT2172N-EL-E is rated for 30 A continuous drain current (ID) at Tc = 25 °C. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area for thermal dissipation; derating applies above 25 °C case temperature per the power vs. temperature curve in the datasheet. At Tc = 75 °C, the usable ID drops to approximately 20 A due to thermal constraints.
Does the HAT2172N-EL-E support logic-level gate drive?
Yes, the HAT2172N-EL-E is fully compatible with 5 V and 7 V logic-level gate drive. Its gate threshold voltage VGS(off) is specified from 1.5 V to 3.0 V, and RDS(on) is guaranteed at 6.9 mΩ (typ.) with VGS = 7 V - enabling direct drive from most microcontrollers and gate driver ICs without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance from channel to case (θch-C) for the HAT2172N-EL-E?
The HAT2172N-EL-E has a channel-to-case thermal resistance (θch-C) of 6.25 °C/W. This value reflects the direct thermal path from the silicon die to the exposed drain pad on the bottom of the LFPAK-i package, allowing efficient heat transfer to the PCB copper pour - a key advantage over traditional SO-8 or DPAK packages.
Can the HAT2172N-EL-E be used in avalanche mode?
Yes, the HAT2172N-EL-E is rated for repetitive avalanche operation: IAP = 20 A and EAR = 20 mJ at Tch = 25 °C with Rg ≥ 50 Ω. This capability supports robustness in inductive load switching, though sustained avalanche operation must be carefully evaluated using the derating curves and test conditions defined in the official Renesas datasheet for HAT2172N-EL-E.
What is the body diode forward voltage (VDF) of the HAT2172N-EL-E at 30 A?
The body diode forward voltage VDF of the HAT2172N-EL-E is 0.84 V (typ.) at IF = 30 A and VGS = 0 V. This low VDF - combined with trr = 32 ns - makes the device suitable for freewheeling paths in half-bridge and synchronous rectifier topologies where reverse recovery loss must be minimized.
