Product details
Overview
IPA100N08N3GXKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET optimized for high-frequency DC/DC converters and synchronous rectification, featuring 80 V VDS, 10 mΩ RDS(on) max at VGS = 10 V and ID = 40 A, 100% avalanche tested, and housed in a fully isolated PG-TO220-FP package rated for 2500 VAC/1 min.
For engineers reviewing the IPA100N08N3GXKSA1 datasheet, IPA100N08N3GXKSA1 pinout, IPA100N08N3GXKSA1 application, or IPA100N08N3GXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate charge × RDS(on) figure-of-merit (FOM), thermal resistance (RthJC = 4.3 K/W), avalanche energy (EAS = 110 mJ), diode reverse recovery (trr = 57 ns), and SOA compliance up to 40 A continuous drain current.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS™3 power transistor employs trench-gate silicon technology with optimized cell pitch and reduced gate-drain charge (Qgd = 5 nC) to minimize switching losses in hard-switched topologies. Its low RDS(on) × Qg FOM (≈84 mΩ·nC) enables efficient operation in 48 V input telecom and server VRMs.
The device integrates a robust body diode with Qrr = 91 nC and trr = 57 ns at IF = 40 A, supporting ZVS-assisted synchronous rectification. Thermal design is enabled by its isolated TO-220-FP package (2500 VAC isolation) and validated junction-to-case thermal resistance of 4.3 K/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 48 V bus applications with 20 % margin |
| RDS(on) max | 10 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 40 A - Enables ≤4 W conduction loss at full load |
| Qg total | 26–35 nC - Determines gate drive power and switching speed in 300–1000 kHz converters |
| EAS | 110 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche ruggedness under unclamped inductive switching |
| trr | 57 ns - Limits diode reverse recovery loss and EMI in synchronous buck outputs |
| RthJC | 4.3 K/W - Allows 35 W dissipation at TC = 25 °C with standard heatsinking |
| ID cont. | 40 A at TC = 25 °C - Package-limited rating; derates to 30 A at TC = 100 °C |
Pinout & Package
IPA100N08N3GXKSA1 uses the PG-TO220-FP package: a fully isolated, through-hole, 3-pin variant of TO-220 with internal creepage/clearance enabling 2500 VAC isolation between drain and source/substrate terminals for reinforced insulation designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Tab) | Drain (D) | Electrically connected to metal tab; primary heat path and high-side switching node |
| Pin 2 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive; carries full load current and diode return path |
| Pin 3 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires < ±20 V rating and low-inductance layout to manage dV/dt-induced turn-on |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optimized FOM (Qg × RDS(on)) | ≈84 mΩ·nC - Reduces combined conduction + switching loss in 500 kHz+ DC/DC stages |
| 100% avalanche tested | 110 mJ single-pulse EAS - Guarantees ruggedness against inductive transients without external snubbers |
| Isolated package (2500 VAC) | Reinforced insulation - Eliminates need for additional isolation barriers in AC-DC front-end or industrial power supplies |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 5 nC / 26–35 nC - Improves Miller immunity and enables stable operation with moderate gate resistors |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB100N08N3 G | Same die, PG-TO263-3 (D²PAK) package; RthJC = 3.2 K/W; no isolation | Requires PCB-level isolation; better thermal performance but unsuitable for reinforced insulation | Select when board space allows surface-mount assembly and isolation is handled externally |
| IRF1404ZPBF | Legacy planar MOSFET; RDS(on) = 20 mΩ; Qg = 131 nC; no avalanche rating | Limited to lower-frequency (< 200 kHz), non-avalanche-critical applications | Select only for cost-sensitive legacy designs where efficiency and ruggedness are secondary |
Compared with IPB100N08N3 G and IRF1404ZPBF, IPA100N08N3GXKSA1 uniquely combines reinforced isolation, best-in-class FOM, and guaranteed avalanche capability-making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency, safety-certified 48 V power systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IPA100N08N3GXKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V, per the datasheet's "Maximum ratings" table. Operation beyond this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended drive is 10 V for full enhancement, with 6 V sufficient for 20 A operation (RDS(on) ≤ 18.2 mΩ). Gate drive must limit dV/dt to avoid spurious turn-on via Qgd.
Does IPA100N08N3GXKSA1 require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes-a gate resistor is required to control switching speed and suppress oscillation. With Qg = 26–35 nC and typical gate driver output impedance, a 10 Ω series resistor balances EMI reduction and switching loss. For 600 kHz operation, values between 5 Ω and 15 Ω are validated; lower values increase dI/dt stress on the driver and PCB layout.
Can IPA100N08N3GXKSA1 be used in linear (analog) mode operation?
No-it is not characterized or rated for linear mode. The Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve shows limited DC capability (e.g., 10 A at 40 V), and thermal runaway risk increases above VDS > 20 V due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on). It is intended strictly for switched-mode applications with defined duty cycle and heatsinking.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification without external Schottky replacement?
Yes-the integrated body diode is specified for synchronous rectification: trr = 57 ns, Qrr = 91 nC, and VSD = 1.0–1.2 V at 40 A. Its soft recovery behavior reduces EMI versus fast-recovery diodes, and it eliminates external component count in cost-sensitive 48 V buck converters where efficiency > 95 % is targeted.
