Product details
Overview
IPD12N03LB G from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel logic-level power MOSFET in PG-TO252-3-11 package, rated for 30 V VDS, 30 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 11.6 mΩ RDS(on) max at VGS = 10 V, ID = 30 A. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and features low gate charge (Qg = 8–11 nC) and excellent FOM (gate charge × RDS(on)), suited for high-efficiency DC-DC synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the IPD12N03LB G datasheet, IPD12N03LB G pinout, IPD12N03LB G application, or IPD12N03LB G equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.0 V), thermal resistance RthJC = 2.9 K/W, avalanche energy EAS = 64 mJ, and SMD-compatible TO252 footprint for compact power stage layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses trench-based OptiMOS®2 technology optimized for low conduction and switching losses in high-frequency synchronous buck converters. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.0 V) enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V controllers without level-shifting, and its low Ciss (1000–1300 pF) and Qgd (2.1–3 nC) support fast, clean switching with minimal Miller-induced shoot-through risk.
The device integrates a robust body diode with low VSD (0.93–1.2 V at IF = 30 A, Tj = 25 °C) and low Qrr (≤10 nC), enabling efficient reverse recovery in hard-switched topologies. Thermal design is supported by validated RthJC = 2.9 K/W and RthJA = 50 K/W (6 cm² copper area), confirming suitability for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
IPD12N03LB G is housed in PG-TO252-3-11 (DPAK) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement. The package conforms to JEDEC MO-247 and supports reflow soldering per J-STD-20.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLZ44N | RDS(on) = 25 mΩ @ VGS = 5 V; higher conduction loss; TO-220 package | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (RthJC ≈ 3.0 K/W but no exposed pad) | Prefer IPD12N03LB G where board space, thermal performance, or efficiency at 30 A is critical |
| STP16NF06L | VDS = 60 V; RDS(on) = 55 mΩ @ VGS = 5 V; higher voltage rating but lower current capability | Better for 48 V systems but unsuitable for high-current 24 V designs due to higher RDS(on) | Select IPD12N03LB G when optimizing for 24–30 V systems requiring <12 mΩ RDS(on) and SMD assembly |
Compared with IRLZ44N and STP16NF06L, IPD12N03LB G delivers superior power density and thermal performance in 24 V synchronous rectification, combining lower RDS(on), smaller TO252 footprint, and tighter VGS(th) distribution for predictable logic-level turn-on.

FAQ
Is IPD12N03LB G suitable for synchronous rectification in a 500 kHz buck converter?
Yes. With Qg = 8–11 nC, Ciss = 1000–1300 pF, and tr/tf = 5–7 ns / 2.6–4 ns, it supports clean, low-loss switching at 500 kHz. Its 11.6 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V gate drive ensures minimal conduction loss even at 30 A output current, making it well-suited for high-efficiency synchronous rectification.
What is the recommended PCB layout for thermal performance?
Mount the device on a 40 mm × 40 mm FR4 PCB with ≥6 cm² of 70 µm-thick copper connected to the exposed drain pad. Use multiple thermal vias (≥8 × 0.3 mm) beneath the pad to inner-layer ground planes. Maintain ≥1.5 mm clearance from adjacent components to avoid localized hot spots and ensure RthJA ≤ 50 K/W in still air.
Does IPD12N03LB G have avalanche ruggedness for inductive load switching?
Yes. It is rated for EAS = 64 mJ (ID = 30 A, RGS = 25 Ω) and supports repetitive unclamped inductive switching within SOA limits. This ruggedness enables use in relay drivers, solenoid controls, and motor phase legs without external snubbers in many cases.
Can IPD12N03LB G be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes. With VGS(th) = 1.2–2.0 V and guaranteed turn-on at VGS ≥ 4.5 V, a 3.3 V GPIO cannot fully enhance the channel (RDS(on) would be significantly higher), but a 5 V logic-level signal - common in MCU peripheral drivers or dedicated gate drivers - ensures full enhancement and specified RDS(on).
