Product details
Overview
IPC173N10N3X1SA1 from Infineon is an N-channel enhancement-mode bare-die Power MOSFET in the OptiMOS™3 family, designed for high-efficiency power conversion in industrial switching applications. It delivers 100 V V(BR)DSS, 3.6 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 2.0 A, 5.762 × 3.0 mm² die size, and 220 µm thickness - optimized for low-loss synchronous rectification and DC-DC converter primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the IPC173N10N3X1SA1 datasheet, IPC173N10N3X1SA1 pinout, IPC173N10N3X1SA1 application, or IPC173N10N3X1SA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include wafer-level RDS(on) tolerance (3.6–100 mΩ), avalanche energy rating (45 mJ, single-pulse), gate threshold voltage range (2.0–3.5 V), and bare-die handling requirements (ESD-sensitive, NiV backside, AlCu frontside).
Technical Context
This bare-die MOSFET operates in enhancement mode with a fixed gate threshold voltage window (2.0–3.5 V) and exhibits low on-resistance due to optimized trench-gate process and thin-oxide design. Its 100 V breakdown voltage supports 48 V bus systems with margin, while the 45 mJ single-pulse avalanche rating enables robustness against inductive turn-off transients without external snubbers.
The device is characterized at wafer level (not packaged), with RDS(on) measured under VGS = 10 V and ID = 2.0 A, and IDSS limited to 1 µA at VDS = 100 V. Passivation uses nitride only on edge structure, and die metallization employs AlCu frontside and NiV backside - critical for thermal interface compatibility in hybrid module assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 100 V - supports 48 V nominal input systems with ≥2× safety margin against transient overvoltage |
| RDS(on) typ. | 3.6 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 2.0 A - enables <1 W conduction loss at 20 A in parallel-configured modules |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–3.5 V - ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V gate drivers, avoiding partial-enhancement risk |
| EAS | 45 mJ (single-pulse) - withstands inductive energy from 30 A current interruption with 25 Ω gate resistor |
| Die size | 5.762 × 3.0 mm² - fits standard 6 mm × 3 mm cavity layouts in power modules and hybrid substrates |
| Thickness | 220 µm - compatible with standard die-attach processes including soldering and conductive epoxy bonding |
Pinout & Package
IPC173N10N3X1SA1 is supplied as a bare die with three terminals: Drain (entire backside metallization), Gate (frontside pad), and Source (frontside pad). The die uses NiV backside metallization for drain connection and AlCu frontside metallization for gate and source interconnects. Passivation is applied only to edge structures using silicon nitride.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Backside (NiV) | Drain | Primary current-carrying terminal; thermally and electrically connected to heatsink via solder or epoxy |
| Frontside Pad A | Gate | Control electrode; requires ESD-safe handling and ≤20 V gate drive per MIL-STD-883C |
| Frontside Pad B | Source | Reference node for gate drive; forms low-inductance return path in high-frequency switching layouts |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| N-channel enhancement mode | Enables self-turn-off behavior and simplifies gate drive architecture vs. depletion-mode devices |
| Wafer-level characterization | Guarantees RDS(on), VGS(th), and IDSS before packaging - critical for module yield control |
| AlCu frontside / NiV backside metallization | Supports high-current density (≥100 A/mm²) and thermal cycling reliability in power modules |
| ESD-sensitive classification (MIL-STD-883C) | Mandates Class 1B handling - prevents latent gate oxide damage during assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET bare-die applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP045N10N3 G | Packaged P-TO220-3 version; RDS(on) = 4.5 mΩ (min), same die technology and wafer specs | Used where discrete through-hole mounting and manual prototyping are required | Select when board-level assembly and thermal testing precede module integration |
| IPB180N10N3 G | Bare die with larger 7.2 × 3.5 mm² footprint; RDS(on) = 1.8 mΩ typ., higher current rating (180 A) | Suitable for >5 kW industrial inverters requiring lower conduction loss and higher thermal mass | Choose when system power scaling demands ≥150 A continuous current capability and space allows larger die area |
Compared with IPP045N10N3 G, IPC173N10N3X1SA1 offers identical die performance but no leadframe - enabling tighter thermal paths in modules; versus IPB180N10N3 G, it trades 50% lower RDS(on) for 30% smaller footprint and reduced gate charge, favoring high-frequency, space-constrained designs.

FAQ
Is IPC173N10N3X1SA1 qualified for automotive applications?
No. This bare-die MOSFET is specified for industrial and multimarket use per its Rev. 2.5 datasheet. Infineon explicitly states that use in automotive, aviation, aerospace, or life-support systems requires express written approval - which is not granted for this part number. Automotive qualification would require AEC-Q101 stress testing and extended temperature validation not performed on this die.
What gate drive voltage is recommended for reliable operation?
A minimum gate drive of 10 V is required to achieve the specified 3.6 mΩ RDS(on); operation at 8 V yields higher on-resistance and increased conduction loss. The 2.0–3.5 V VGS(th) range ensures turn-on with 3.3 V logic-level drivers only if gate overshoot is controlled - however, 10 V is strongly recommended for full enhancement and thermal stability across temperature.
Can IPC173N10N3X1SA1 be mounted using conductive epoxy instead of solder?
Yes. The datasheet explicitly permits both soldered and glued die bond methods. Conductive epoxy is viable for low-volume prototyping or substrates incompatible with reflow soldering, provided thermal interface resistance remains ≤0.8 K·cm²/W and epoxy cure profile avoids exceeding 200°C peak temperature to preserve AlCu metallization integrity.
Does this die include integrated ESD protection diodes?
No. IPC173N10N3X1SA1 is classified as an electrostatic discharge sensitive device per MIL-STD-883C, with no on-die ESD clamps. External gate protection (e.g., 10 Ω series resistor + 12 V TVS) is mandatory during handling and PCB assembly to prevent gate oxide rupture from human-body-model discharges exceeding 2 kV.
