Product details
Overview
IPA028N04NM3SXKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in PG-TO220FP package, rated for 40 V VDS, 2.8 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 89 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It features low gate charge (QG = 90 nC), 100% avalanche tested, and is optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IPA028N04NM3SXKSA1 datasheet, IPA028N04NM3SXKSA1 pinout, IPA028N04NM3SXKSA1 application, or IPA028N04NM3SXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) stability over temperature, Qg × RDS(on) figure-of-merit, avalanche ruggedness, thermal resistance (RthJC = 3.9 °C/W), and TO-220FP drain-connected package layout compatibility.
Technical Context
This OptiMOSTM 3-generation power transistor uses trench-gate superjunction technology to achieve ultra-low on-resistance while maintaining fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2–4 V) supports standard 10 V gate drive, and its Qgd = 11 nC and Ciss = 7.3–9.5 nF enable efficient hard-switching up to several hundred kHz.
The device integrates a robust body diode with Qrr = 80 nC and VSD = 0.87 V at 38 A, making it suitable for synchronous rectifier operation where reverse recovery loss must be minimized. Thermal design is supported by a low junction-to-case resistance of 3.9 °C/W and validated JEDEC qualification per AEC-Q101 stress test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V/48 V bus applications |
| RDS(on), max | 2.8 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 89 A - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 30 A in high-current POL stages |
| QG | 90 nC - Low total gate charge reduces driver power and enables faster turn-on/turn-off |
| EAS | 150 mJ - Avalanche energy rating supports unclamped inductive switching in motor control |

Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220FP (FullPAK), thermally enhanced variant with exposed drain pad on leadframe; pin 2 is drain (electrically connected to tab), pin 1 is gate, pin 3 is source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives gate drive signal; requires low-inductance routing due to 90 nC QG and 1.9–2.9 Ω internal RG |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | High-side power node | Internally connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Return path / reference node | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; critical for minimizing common-source inductance in high-dI/dt switching |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB027N04LGATMA1 | Same VDS (40 V), lower RDS(on) (2.7 mΩ), higher QG (105 nC), PG-TDSON8 package | Surface-mount alternative requiring PCB redesign; better thermal performance in forced-air cooling but no isolated tab | Select when board space is constrained and thermal interface to heatsink is via soldered copper area rather than mechanical mounting. |
| IRL40B213TRPBF | Higher RDS(on) (3.1 mΩ), lower QG (72 nC), TO-220AB package, non-avalanche-rated | Lacks EAS rating and JEDEC qualification; unsuitable for inductive loads or automotive environments | Acceptable only in cost-sensitive, low-reliability consumer power supplies with clamped inductive loads. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The IPA028N04NM3SXKSA1 supports 63 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. This derating reflects thermal limits imposed by the 3.9 °C/W RthJC and 175 °C maximum junction temperature, requiring appropriate heatsinking for sustained high-current operation.
Is this MOSFET suitable for synchronous rectification in a 48 V to 12 V buck converter?
Yes-its 40 V VDS, 2.8 mΩ RDS(on), 0.87 V body diode forward voltage, and 80 nC Qrr make it well-suited for secondary-side synchronous rectification in 48 V input buck converters. The low Qgd/Qg ratio also minimizes risk of false turn-on during high dV/dt transitions.
Does the PG-TO220FP package provide electrical isolation between the drain tab and mounting surface?
No-the drain (pin 2) is internally connected to the metal tab in the PG-TO220FP package. Electrical isolation from the heatsink must be achieved using insulating pads or shoulder washers. Failure to isolate will short the drain to system ground if the heatsink is grounded.
What is the typical gate plateau voltage and why does it matter?
The gate plateau voltage is 5.3 V (Table 6), representing the Miller region where the gate voltage remains relatively constant during turn-on/turn-off while the drain voltage transitions. This value determines the minimum gate drive voltage needed to ensure full enhancement and influences gate driver selection-especially for bootstrap-based high-side drivers operating near VGS(th) limits.
