Product details
Overview
IPD5N03LAG from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel logic-level power MOSFET in PG-TO252-3-11 package, rated for 25 V VDS, 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 4.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It features 175 °C maximum junction temperature, low gate charge (Qg = 17–22 nC), and optimized FOM for high-frequency DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the IPD5N03LAG datasheet, IPD5N03LAG pinout, IPD5N03LAG application, or IPD5N03LAG equivalent, this device is selected for synchronous rectification, motor drive half-bridges, and industrial power supplies where low conduction loss, fast switching, and thermal robustness are critical.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-based OptiMOS®2 process optimized for logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.0 V) and low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit. Its 1.8 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance enables high-power operation on minimal PCB copper area.
Dynamic performance includes Ciss = 2093–2653 pF, tr = 7.2–11 ns, and tf = 4.6–6.9 ns under standard test conditions (VDD = 15 V, ID = 25 A, RG = 2.7 Ω), supporting efficient hard-switching up to several hundred kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 25 V - Maximum blocking voltage for low-voltage power rails (e.g., 12 V input systems) |
| RDS(on) max | 5.2 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 50 A - Enables ≤2.6 W conduction loss at full load |
| ID cont. | 50 A @ TC = 25 °C - Sustains high-current output stages without forced air cooling |
| Qg | 17–22 nC - Reduces gate driver power demand and switching energy loss |
| RthJC | 1.8 K/W - Allows direct thermal coupling to heatsink or copper pour for stable 175 °C operation |
| EAS | 225 mJ @ ID = 45 A - Supports unclamped inductive switching in motor control and SMPS |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.0 V - Fully enhances with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level microcontroller outputs |
Pinout & Package
IPD5N03LAG uses the PG-TO252-3-11 (DPAK) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The three terminals are arranged in standard DPAK configuration: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives logic-level voltage to modulate channel conductivity; low input capacitance (Ciss ≈ 2.3 nF) eases driver selection |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Exposed metal tab - must be soldered to ≥6 cm² copper area for thermal management and current return path |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference node for gate drive | Provides local ground reference for gate loop; critical for minimizing switching noise and shoot-through risk |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced with 3.3 V or 5 V MCU GPIOs - eliminates need for level-shifting or dedicated gate drivers |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg FOM | ~23 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for optimal efficiency in 300–500 kHz DC/DC converters |
| 175 °C rated junction | Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating below 100% load |
| Robust body diode | VSD = 0.92–1.2 V @ 50 A - supports synchronous rectification and freewheeling with low forward loss |
Applications
| Server VRM Power Stage | Automotive Body Control Module |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-RDS(on) pass transistor in source-follower configuration for reverse conduction. Use Value: 5.2 mΩ RDS(on) limits voltage drop to <100 mV at 20 A, preserving PD voltage regulation margin. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLZ44NPBF | RDS(on) = 22 mΩ @ VGS = 5 V; higher conduction loss; TO-220 package | Larger footprint; lower current density; less suitable for compact high-current designs | Prefer when through-hole mounting or legacy design reuse is required |
| STL110N3LLH6 | RDS(on) = 3.3 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V; smaller die; different gate charge profile (Qg = 27 nC) | Higher switching loss at same frequency; requires stronger gate driver | Prefer when lowest possible RDS(on) dominates over switching speed |
Compared with IRLZ44NPBF and STL110N3LLH6, IPD5N03LAG delivers superior thermal performance (1.8 K/W vs. ~3.0 K/W typical), tighter VGS(th) distribution (1.2–2.0 V), and optimized FOM for high-frequency synchronous rectification - making it ideal for space-constrained, thermally demanding DC/DC stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for IPD5N03LAG?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C, and the device is qualified for continuous operation at this rating. Thermal design must ensure junction temperature remains ≤175 °C under worst-case ambient, power dissipation, and PCB copper conditions - verified using RthJC = 1.8 K/W and measured case temperature.
Can IPD5N03LAG be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes. With a gate threshold voltage of 1.2–2.0 V and guaranteed enhancement at VGS = 4.5 V, IPD5N03LAG achieves full conduction using standard 3.3 V GPIOs. However, RDS(on) increases to 6.8–8.5 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V, so thermal margin should be validated at full load.
Does IPD5N03LAG include integrated avalanche ruggedness?
Yes. It is characterized for single-pulse avalanche energy EAS = 225 mJ at ID = 45 A and RGS = 25 Ω. This rating supports reliable operation in inductive switching applications like motor drives and flyback converters without external clamping components.
What is the recommended PCB layout for thermal performance?
Mount the exposed drain pad on ≥6 cm² of 70 µm thick copper on FR4 (40 mm × 40 mm board, vertical orientation in still air). Use multiple thermal vias under the pad connected to inner or backside ground planes. Keep gate and source traces short and low-inductance to minimize ringing during switching.
