Product details
Overview
IPI037N06L3GHKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 60 V, 100 A, logic-level N-channel Trench MOSFET in PG-TO-220-3 package, optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor control stages, featuring RDS(on) = 3.7 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, 100% avalanche-rated operation, and lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction.
For engineers reviewing the IPI037N06L3GHKSA1 datasheet, IPI037N06L3GHKSA1 pinout, IPI037N06L3GHKSA1 application, or IPI037N06L3GHKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low gate charge (Qg = 71 nC), fast switching (ton = 28 ns), thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.5 K/W), integrated body diode recovery performance (trr = 140 ns), and SOA compliance up to 100 A pulsed drain current.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's OptiMOS™ 3 technology, delivering enhanced conduction efficiency and reduced switching losses via optimized cell pitch and trench geometry. Its logic-level gate threshold (VGS(th) = 2.0–3.0 V) enables direct drive from 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting.
The device supports unclamped inductive switching with guaranteed single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 590 mJ) and features a fully characterized reverse diode with soft recovery (Qrr = 120 nC, trr = 140 ns) for reduced EMI in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; supports 48 V bus systems with 20% margin. |
| RDS(on) | 3.7 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 60 A continuous, critical for thermally constrained power stages. |
| ID (cont) | 100 A @ TC = 25 °C - Rated for high-current synchronous rectification and half-bridge motor drive legs. |
| Qg | 71 nC - Low total gate charge reduces driver power demand and improves PWM efficiency above 100 kHz. |
| trr | 140 ns - Fast, soft reverse recovery minimizes voltage overshoot and snubber losses in flyback and LLC resonant converters. |
| RthJC | 0.5 K/W - Enables >150 W continuous dissipation with standard TO-220 heatsinking, supporting industrial-grade reliability. |
| EAS | 590 mJ - Guaranteed avalanche ruggedness allows safe operation under inductive turn-off stress without external clamping. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO-220-3 (standard through-hole, isolated tab, lead-free plating). Mounting requires mechanical isolation from heatsink unless tab is electrically tied to source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path collector | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be isolated or grounded per layout; primary thermal path to heatsink. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance return path; used for shunt-based current monitoring and gate driver reference. |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <71 nC charge; sensitive to ringing-requires local RC snubber and short trace routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 4.5 V, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V MCU GPIOs and reducing BOM count. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for single-pulse EAS = 590 mJ, eliminating need for external TVS in inductive load switching. |
| Optimized for converter efficiency | Combined Qg/RDS(on) ratio of 19.2 nC/mΩ supports >98% efficiency in 48 V → 12 V synchronous buck designs. |
| Enhanced diode softness | Body diode exhibits low Qrr/IF ratio (120 nC/100 A) and controlled dI/dt during commutation, suppressing EMI peaks. |
| RoHS & halogen-free | Complies with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), suitable for lead-free reflow assembly. |
Applications
| Server VRM Power Stage | Industrial BLDC Motor Inverter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB034N06L3 | RDS(on) = 3.4 mΩ (lower), Qg = 75 nC (higher), same PG-TO-220-3 package | Better conduction loss but higher gate drive loss; less optimal for >300 kHz switching | Prefer when thermal budget dominates over switching frequency constraints |
| IPP037N06L3 | Same RDS(on), Qg, and SOA; differs only in marking and tape-and-reel packaging | No functional difference; intended for automated SMT assembly rather than through-hole | Select only for pick-and-place production; not mechanically interchangeable in through-hole PCBs |
Compared with IPB034N06L3 and IPP037N06L3, IPI037N06L3GHKSA1 offers identical electrical performance to IPP037N06L3 but with TO-220 through-hole mounting, while providing a balanced trade-off between conduction and switching loss versus IPB034N06L3-making it optimal for manually assembled or mixed-technology industrial power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for IPI037N06L3GHKSA1?
The maximum continuous drain current is 100 A at case temperature TC = 25 °C. At elevated temperatures, current must be derated per the Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve: 60 A at TC = 100 °C. This rating assumes proper heatsinking with RthJC ≤ 0.5 K/W and no bondwire current limitation.
Does IPI037N06L3GHKSA1 require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes-a gate resistor (typically 5–15 Ω) is required to dampen gate ringing caused by PCB trace inductance interacting with Ciss (10,500 pF). Without it, overshoot exceeding 20 V can trigger parasitic turn-on or oscillation, especially in high-dV/dt environments like motor drives.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification in a buck converter?
No-the integrated body diode is not optimized for synchronous rectification duty. Its Qrr = 120 nC and trr = 140 ns are acceptable for freewheeling, but dedicated Schottky or GaN FETs provide superior reverse recovery and lower conduction loss in SR configurations.
Can IPI037N06L3GHKSA1 be used in parallel with identical units?
Yes-its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (increasing ~0.6%/°C) ensures inherent current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, symmetrical PCB layout, and individual gate resistors to prevent oscillation; derate total current by 15% for thermal margin.
