Product details
Overview
IPB160N04S4H1ATMA1 from Infineon Technologies is an AEC-Q101-qualified N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in PG-TO263-7-3 package, rated for 40 V VDS, 160 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and ultra-low 1.6 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and is 100% avalanche tested - deployed in automotive high-current DC-DC converters and motor control inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IPB160N04S4H1ATMA1 datasheet, IPB160N04S4H1ATMA1 pinout, IPB160N04S4H1ATMA1 application, or IPB160N04S4H1ATMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.9 K/W RthJC, 105–137 nC total gate charge, 8400–10920 pF input capacitance, and integrated avalanche ruggedness for transient load switching in safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS®-T2 device uses trench-gate superjunction technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in 12 V/24 V automotive systems. Its gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V) enables robust drive compatibility with standard 5 V and 3.3 V logic controllers, while the 5.2 V gate plateau voltage supports stable Miller region control during hard-switching transitions.
The MOSFET integrates a co-packaged freewheeling diode with 160 A continuous forward current rating, 0.9–1.3 V VSD at 100 A, and 56 ns trr - enabling synchronous rectification and bidirectional energy recovery in H-bridge and buck-boost topologies without external diode addition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 24 V nominal automotive battery systems including load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) | 1.4–1.6 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.6 W conduction loss at 100 A, critical for thermal management in compact power modules. |
| ID (cont.) | 160 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current motor phase legs and starter solenoid drivers without parallel devices. |
| EAS | 400 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche energy allows safe operation under inductive turn-off stress without snubber circuits. |
| Qg | 105–137 nC - Defines gate driver power requirement and switching speed trade-off in PWM frequencies up to 100 kHz. |
| tr/tf | 22 ns / 33 ns - Fast edge rates reduce switching losses but require careful PCB layout to suppress EMI in EMC-sensitive zones. |
| RthJC | 0.9 K/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting with predictable thermal path for junction-to-case temperature modeling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO263-7-3 (D²PAK-7), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed drain pad and 7-terminal configuration. Pin 1–3: Source; Pin 4: Gate; Pin 5–7: Drain (parallel internal connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Source | Common source node for all three internal die segments; low-inductance return path for high di/dt current loops. |
| 4 | Gate | Control terminal requiring <137 nC charge; isolated from drain by 20 V max VGS rating and 100 nA leakage. |
| 5, 6, 7 | Drain | Internally paralleled drain connections tied to exposed copper pad; primary thermal and current path to heatsink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 100% unclamped inductive switching (UIS) tested | Each unit verified for 400 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - eliminates need for design margin assumptions on surge robustness. |
| MSL1 reflow rating | Compatible with lead-free soldering profiles up to 260 °C peak, supporting automated SMT assembly without moisture sensitivity concerns. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) × Qg figure of merit | ~160 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for optimal efficiency in 20–100 kHz switching converters. |
| Integrated Schottky-like body diode | VSD = 0.9–1.3 V @ 100 A ensures low reverse conduction loss and 56 ns trr minimizes diode recovery spikes in synchronous rectifiers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel automotive power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB180N04S4H1ATMA1 | Higher ID (180 A), identical VDS and RDS(on) (1.4–1.6 mΩ), same package and AEC-Q101 grade. | Marginally higher thermal mass; suited for extended duty cycles above 150 A average current. | Select when system-level current derating requires ≥20 A headroom at 100 °C case temperature. |
| IRFB4115PBF | Legacy TO-220AB package, 40 V VDS, 150 A ID, 2.4 mΩ RDS(on), no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Limited to non-automotive industrial use; lacks MSL1 reflow rating and 175 °C operation. | Only acceptable for cost-sensitive 12 V industrial SMPS where automotive reliability and thermal specs are not required. |
Compared with IPB180N04S4H1ATMA1, this part trades 20 A current headroom for identical thermal and switching performance; versus IRFB4115PBF, it delivers 33% lower RDS(on), AEC-Q101 compliance, and superior thermal resistance - making it the only qualified choice for production automotive electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IPB160N04S4H1ATMA1?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V, with recommended operating range of –10 V to +10 V. Exceeding ±20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. The typical gate threshold voltage is 2.0–4.0 V, and gate plateau occurs at 5.2 V - ensuring reliable turn-on with standard 5 V logic-level drivers.
Does IPB160N04S4H1ATMA1 require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a gate resistor is required to control dV/dt and prevent oscillation. For 100 kHz PWM with 137 nC Qg, a 3.5 Ω resistor (as used in Infineon's reference test conditions) provides optimal trade-off between switching speed and ringing suppression. Layout parasitics may necessitate 2.2–4.7 Ω depending on driver strength and trace inductance.
Can IPB160N04S4H1ATMA1 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (increasing ~0.5%/°C) enables inherent current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, symmetrical PCB layout, and individual gate resistors. Derating to 80% of total rated current per device is recommended for thermal stability across 175 °C operation.
Is the body diode suitable for continuous freewheeling in synchronous rectification?
Yes - the integrated diode supports 160 A continuous forward current and 640 A pulsed current, with 0.9–1.3 V VSD at 100 A and 56 ns trr. It is fully characterized for synchronous operation in buck and half-bridge topologies, though external Schottky diodes may be preferred for <100 ns trr requirements in ultra-high-frequency designs.
