Product details
Overview
IPB12CNE8N G from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in PG-TO263-3 (D²PAK) package, rated for 85 V VDS, 67 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 12.4 mΩ RDS(on) max at VGS = 10 V and ID = 67 A. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and is optimized for high-frequency switching in DC-DC converters and synchronous rectification in server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IPB12CNE8N G datasheet, IPB12CNE8N G pinout, IPB12CNE8N G application, or IPB12CNE8N G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 9.2 mΩ typical RDS(on), 48 nC total gate charge, 3260 pF input capacitance, 1.2 K/W RthJC, and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial power conversion.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS®2 device uses planar silicon technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted channel design to achieve low gate charge × RDS(on) figure-of-merit (FOM), enabling efficient operation above 300 kHz in hard-switched topologies. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature rating supports compact thermal design without derating in convection-cooled 1U server PSUs.
The integrated body diode exhibits 103 ns reverse recovery time and 255 nC Qrr at IF = 67 A and diF/dt = 100 A/µs, making it suitable for synchronous rectification where diode conduction loss and commutation stress must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 85 V - Supports 48 V input bus architectures with 20 % margin against transients in telecom and server power. |
| RDS(on) max | 12.4 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 67 A - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at full load in 50 A output stages. |
| Qg | 48–64 nC - Low gate drive energy reduces controller IC loading and enables use with standard 1 A peak gate drivers. |
| EAS | 154 mJ @ ID = 67 A, RGS = 25 Ω - Withstands single-pulse avalanche events in unclamped inductive switching. |
| RthJC | 1.2 K/W - Allows direct heatsink mounting for thermal resistance below 2.5 K/W in 1U airflow-constrained enclosures. |
| tr/tf | 21–31 ns / 8–12 ns - Supports clean, fast switching transitions with minimal overlap loss in 500 kHz+ phase-shifted full-bridge designs. |
Pinout & Package
IPB12CNE8N G is housed in PG-TO263-3 (D²PAK) package: a surface-mount variant of TO-263 with isolated drain tab, 3-pin configuration, and JEDEC-standard footprint for automated assembly and high-current PCB routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal (low-side reference) | Connected to power ground plane; carries full load current with minimal parasitic inductance in synchronous buck output stage. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input | Receives PWM signal from controller; requires <64 nC charge to fully enhance; sensitive to ringing due to 1.5 Ω internal gate resistance. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | High-side switch node | Exposed copper pad on backside - electrically connected to drain; must be soldered to large copper area for thermal and current handling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) × Qg FOM | ~595 mΩ·nC - Reduces combined conduction and switching losses more effectively than legacy MOSFETs in 400–600 kHz LLC resonant converters. |
| 175 °C Tj,max | Enables sustained operation at elevated ambient temperatures (e.g., >70 °C inside sealed server chassis) without forced air derating. |
| JEDEC qualification | Qualified per JESD22-A108 (temperature cycling), JESD22-A110 (HTOL), and J-STD-20 (reflow profile) for industrial power supply lifetime requirements. |
| Pb-free & RoHS | Lead-free matte tin plating on drain tab and leads - compatible with lead-free reflow processes and meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB075N08N3 G | 80 V VDS, 75 A ID, 7.5 mΩ RDS(on) max, PG-TO263-3, newer OptiMOS™3 generation | Higher current rating and lower RDS(on) but higher Qg (72 nC); requires stronger gate driver | Preferred for new designs targeting >60 A output with space for upgraded gate drive; not drop-in due to different SOA curve. |
| IPP120N08N3 G | 80 V VDS, 120 A ID, 12.0 mΩ RDS(on) max, PG-TO220-3, same OptiMOS®2 family | Same RDS(on) spec but TO-220 package; higher RthJC (1.4 K/W); through-hole mounting only | Valid alternative if board layout uses through-hole and thermal interface permits 0.2 K/W higher junction-to-case resistance. |
Compared with IPB12CNE8N G, IPB075N08N3 G delivers lower conduction loss at higher currents but increases switching loss and gate drive demand, while IPP120N08N3 G offers identical on-resistance in a thermally less efficient through-hole package-making IPB12CNE8N G optimal for surface-mount, airflow-limited, medium-current applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IPB12CNE8N G?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V, as specified in the datasheet's "Maximum ratings" table. Operation beyond this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable PWM control, gate drive should be clamped between 0 V and 12 V, with 10 V recommended for full enhancement and lowest RDS(on).
Can IPB12CNE8N G be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
No-its 154 mJ single-pulse EAS rating is intended for fault tolerance, not repetitive operation. Repeated avalanche stress degrades RDS(on) and threshold voltage over time. Designers must implement primary-side overvoltage protection or snubbers to avoid repeated avalanche conditions.
Is the drain tab electrically isolated from the package outline in PG-TO263-3?
Yes-the drain tab in the PG-TO263-3 package is electrically connected only to the drain terminal and is insulated from the mounting surface by the molded plastic body. Thermal interface material must be non-conductive unless the heatsink is referenced to drain potential.
How does temperature affect RDS(on) in IPB12CNE8N G?
RDS(on) increases linearly with junction temperature: from 9.2 mΩ typ at 25 °C to ~25 mΩ at 175 °C. The datasheet provides RDS(on) = f(Tj) curves (Figure 9), confirming +0.13 %/°C average TC, critical for thermal design margining in high-ambient environments.
