Product details
Overview
IPB50N12S3L15ATMA1 from Infineon Technologies is an AEC-Q101 qualified N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in PG-TO263-3-2 package, rated for 120 V VDS, 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 15.4 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It delivers robust avalanche performance (330 mJ single-pulse EAS) and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature, targeting high-reliability automotive power switching in engine control units and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the IPB50N12S3L15ATMA1 datasheet, IPB50N12S3L15ATMA1 pinout, IPB50N12S3L15ATMA1 application, or IPB50N12S3L15ATMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 120 V breakdown voltage, low 15.4 mΩ on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C operation, and TO263 surface-mount thermal performance with 1.5 K/W RthJC.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS™-T device uses trench-gate superjunction technology optimized for low conduction and switching losses in 12 V automotive systems. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.4 V) enables compatibility with standard 3.3 V/5 V logic-level drivers while maintaining noise immunity via controlled VGS(th) spread.
The MOSFET integrates a fast, low-loss body diode (trr = 80 ns, Qrr = 185 nC) and supports hard-switched topologies requiring rugged unclamped inductive switching capability-validated by 100% single-pulse avalanche testing at ID = 25 A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 120 V - Withstands peak transients in 12 V automotive battery systems including load dump (up to 40 V) and ISO 7637-2 pulses. |
| RDS(on) max | 15.4 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 50 A, reducing heatsink requirements in space-constrained ECUs. |
| ID cont | 50 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current motor drivers and solenoid controls without derating at board-level ambient. |
| EAS | 330 mJ - Guarantees reliable operation under inductive turn-off stress in fuel injector or valve actuator circuits. |
| Tj max | +175 °C - Meets under-hood thermal requirements for engine bay-mounted power stages per AEC-Q101 stress test conditions. |
| RthJC | 1.5 K/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper pour or heatsink, critical for SMD power delivery in compact modules. |
| Qg typ | 51 nC - Determines gate driver strength requirement; compatible with common automotive gate drivers (e.g., 1 A peak output). |
Pinout & Package
IPB50N12S3L15ATMA1 is housed in PG-TO263-3-2 (D²PAK), a surface-mount power package with isolated drain tab for PCB thermal management. The three terminals are arranged linearly: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives PWM signal; low 51 nC total gate charge enables fast switching with minimal driver loss. |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | High-side power node | Exposed copper tab - must be soldered to ≥6 cm² PCB copper area for thermal compliance (RthJA = 40 K/W). |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Return path / reference | Common return for gate drive and load current; ties to low-impedance ground plane to minimize switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use across temperature, humidity, vibration, and lifetime stress tests per Rev G standards. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit passes single-pulse EAS = 330 mJ test - eliminates field failure risk in inductive load switching. |
| Green product (RoHS) | Lead-free, halogen-free construction compliant with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and automotive ELV requirements. |
| MSL1 reflow rating | Suitable for standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak - no moisture sensitivity handling required. |
| Low Qgd/Qgs ratio | Typical 8–12 nC / 11–14 nC - improves Miller immunity and reduces switching instability in high-dV/dt environments. |

FAQ
Is IPB50N12S3L15ATMA1 pin-compatible with IPP50N12S3L-15?
No. IPB50N12S3L15ATMA1 uses PG-TO263-3-2 (D²PAK) with drain-tab-down SMD mounting, while IPP50N12S3L-15 uses PG-TO220-3-1 with through-hole leads and isolated tab. Footprint, thermal interface, and assembly process differ fundamentally.
What is the maximum gate-source voltage rating?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±16 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable 12 V automotive systems, gate drive should be clamped to +10 V / –5 V using discrete Zener or integrated driver protection.
Does this MOSFET require external gate resistors for automotive PWM operation?
Yes. A series gate resistor (typically 5–22 Ω) is required to damp ringing, limit peak gate current, and control dV/dt during switching. Values depend on driver capability and layout parasitics-refer to Infineon's AN2015-09 for recommended design practices.
Can IPB50N12S3L15ATMA1 replace older OptiMOS™ 2nd generation parts?
Yes, with validation. It offers lower RDS(on) (15.4 mΩ vs. ~20 mΩ), improved EAS, and tighter VGS(th) distribution versus predecessors like IPB50N12S2L-15. Layout and drive circuit changes may be needed due to higher Qg and faster switching.
