Product details
Overview
IPC218N06N3X1SA2 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode bare-die Power MOSFET in the OptiMOS™3 family, rated for 60 V V(BR)DSS and 1.3 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, with die size 5.9 × 3.7 mm² and 205 µm thickness. It serves as a high-efficiency switching element in DC-DC converters, motor control modules, and industrial power stages where low conduction loss and wafer-level reliability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IPC218N06N3X1SA2 datasheet, IPC218N06N3X1SA2 pinout (Drain/Gate/Source terminals), IPC218N06N3X1SA2 application in high-current switching, or IPC218N06N3X1SA2 equivalent bare-die MOSFETs, this page delivers verified wafer-level electrical specs, terminal mapping, thermal and avalanche performance data, and direct substitution guidance aligned with Infineon's OptiMOS™3 qualification standards.
Technical Context
This bare-die MOSFET operates in enhancement mode with gate threshold voltage VGS(th) between 2 V and 4 V, enabling robust turn-on control under standard logic-level drive. Its frontside AlCu metallization and backside NiV system support reliable wire bonding and thermal interface integration in custom packages.
Wafer-level testing confirms RDS(on) ≤ 100 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and ID = 2.0 A, and single-pulse avalanche energy EAS ≥ 500 mJ at ID = 30 A with RGS = 25 Ω - validated per MIL-STD 883C ESD handling protocols and AQL 0.65 visual inspection criteria.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 60 V - maximum drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset, defining safe operating voltage ceiling in 48 V bus systems |
| RDS(on) typ. | 1.3 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 2.0 A - enables <1 W conduction loss at 30 A, critical for high-efficiency power stages |
| VGS(th) | 2–4 V - ensures reliable gate drive compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V controllers without level-shifting |
| EAS | ≥500 mJ - quantifies single-pulse avalanche ruggedness for inductive load switching in motor drives |
| Die size | 5.9 × 3.7 mm² - defines minimum footprint for custom hybrid packaging and thermal pad layout |
| Thickness | 205 µm - supports thin-die assembly in space-constrained modules and stacked-die configurations |
Pinout & Package
IPC218N06N3X1SA2 is supplied as a bare die with three electrically active terminals: Drain (entire backside metallization), Gate (frontside bond pad), and Source (frontside bond pad). No leadframe or molded package is included; mounting requires die attach to substrate and wire bonding per JEDEC J-STD-020 guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain | High-current output node | Backside NiV metallization - designed for solder or conductive epoxy attachment to heatsink or DBC substrate |
| Gate | Control input | Frontside AlCu pad - requires low-inductance bond wire (<1.5 mm) to minimize switching oscillation |
| Source | Reference return path | Frontside AlCu pad - must be bonded close to gate pad to reduce source inductance in high-di/dt applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| N-channel enhancement mode | Enables self-turn-off operation without external biasing - essential for synchronous rectification and half-bridge topologies |
| AlCu frontside metallization | Supports gold or aluminum wire bonding with >99.9% first-pass yield in automated assembly |
| NiV backside metallization | Provides low-contact-resistance interface to copper or DBC substrates, reducing thermal resistance by up to 15% vs. standard Al backside |
| Nitride edge passivation | Confines electric field at die periphery - prevents premature edge breakdown at rated 60 V blocking |
| AQL 0.65 visual inspection | Meets IPC-A-610 Class 3 defect limits for aerospace and medical-grade hybrid assemblies |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Server VRMs |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel bare-die power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB017N06N3 G | Same OptiMOS™3 process, but packaged in P-TO263-7; RDS(on) = 1.7 mΩ (typ.) at same VGS | Requires standard through-hole PCB assembly; lacks bare-die thermal flexibility | Select when board-level reworkability and JEDEC-compliant footprint are prioritized over thermal optimization |
| IPP020N06N3 | Bare die variant with 2.0 mΩ RDS(on) (typ.), larger 6.7 × 4.2 mm² die size, identical 60 V rating | Higher conduction loss but improved avalanche margin (EAS = 720 mJ) | Select when system-level fault tolerance outweighs efficiency targets, especially in unregulated industrial loads |
Compared with IPB017N06N3 G and IPP020N06N3, IPC218N06N3X1SA2 offers the lowest RDS(on) in bare-die form and smallest footprint - making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-density power modules where conduction loss dominates total loss budget.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for IPC218N06N3X1SA2?
The datasheet specifies TJ(max) = 175 °C for continuous operation. This limit applies under wafer-level test conditions with controlled thermal interface; actual system-level max TJ depends on die attach quality, substrate thermal resistance, and ambient airflow. Derating is required above 150 °C ambient in sealed enclosures.
Is IPC218N06N3X1SA2 qualified for automotive applications?
No - this bare-die variant is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Infineon explicitly restricts use in automotive, aviation, or life-support systems without written approval. For automotive-grade equivalents, refer to packaged variants like IPB017N06N3 G with full AEC-Q101 certification and PPAP documentation.
Can IPC218N06N3X1SA2 be mounted using conductive epoxy instead of solder?
Yes - the NiV backside metallization is compatible with both solder die attach (SnAgCu, Pb-free) and silver-filled conductive epoxy. Thermal resistance increases by ~15% with epoxy, so derating of RDS(on) and EAS by 10% is recommended for epoxy-mounted units in high-power applications.
Does IPC218N06N3X1SA2 include integrated gate protection?
No - this bare die has no integrated Zener or RC gate protection. External gate resistor (10–47 Ω) and TVS clamp (e.g., P6SMB6.8A) between gate and source are mandatory to prevent ESD damage during handling and switching transients exceeding ±20 V.
