Product details
Overview
IPI09N03LA from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel logic-level Power MOSFET in PG-TO262-3-1 package, rated for 25 V VDS, 9.2 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 30 A, with 175 °C maximum junction temperature and dv/dt ruggedness up to 6 kV/µs - optimized for high-frequency DC/DC converters in server power supplies and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IPI09N03LA datasheet, IPI09N03LA pinout, IPI09N03LA application, or IPI09N03LA equivalent, key selection criteria include its low gate charge × RDS(on) figure of merit (FOM), robust avalanche energy rating (75 mJ), thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.4 K/W), and logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) typ. 1.6 V).
Technical Context
This device implements a trench-based OptiMOS®2 silicon process enabling low conduction loss and fast switching. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V logic controllers, while the 12.4–15.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V supports efficient synchronous rectification in buck converters.
The MOSFET features fully characterized dynamic parameters: Ciss = 1235–1642 pF, Qg = 10–13 nC, Qgd = 2.8–4.3 nC, and tr/tf = 73–109 ns / 3.2–4.8 ns - enabling stable operation at >500 kHz switching frequencies with minimal gate drive loss and reduced EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 25 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage; suitable for 12 V input bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) max | 9.2 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 30 A - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 40 A continuous current. |
| ID continuous | 50 A at TC = 25 °C - Supported by low RthJC (2.4 K/W) and TO262 thermal design. |
| EAS | 75 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - Ensures robustness against inductive switching transients without external snubbers. |
| dv/dt rating | 6 kV/µs - Confirmed ruggedness under fast voltage transitions, critical for hard-switched topologies. |
| Qg | 10–13 nC - Low total gate charge enables efficient drive with standard gate drivers (e.g., IR2110, UCC27531). |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.0 V - Logic-level threshold compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers and PWM ICs without level-shifting. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Extended thermal operating range supports high-power density designs in constrained enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO262-3-1 - Insulated through-hole package with isolated tab, 3-pin configuration (Drain, Gate, Source), footprint-compatible with TO-220 but with improved thermal performance and creepage/clearance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Tab) | Drain | Internally connected to metal tab; electrically active and thermally conductive - must be isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground. |
| Pin 2 | Gate | Control terminal; low-input capacitance (Ciss ≈ 1.4 nF) enables fast switching with minimal driver power. |
| Pin 3 | Source | Power return path; tied to source of internal MOSFET die - forms reference for gate drive and current sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) ≤ 2.0 V - Eliminates need for gate driver boost stages in 3.3 V/5 V control systems. |
| Low FOM (Qg × RDS(on)) | ~93 nC·mΩ - Reduces combined conduction + switching losses in high-frequency SMPS. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 6 kV/µs - Prevents false turn-on during fast transient events in half-bridge configurations. |
| 175 °C operation | Rated junction temperature - Supports derated operation in sealed industrial enclosures without forced air. |
| Avalanche-rated | 75 mJ single-pulse EAS - Allows safe operation under unclamped inductive load conditions without external protection. |
Applications
| Server VRM | Industrial Motor Drive |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-current, high-efficiency 12 V input buck converter supplying CPU core voltage (0.8–1.5 V @ up to 200 A). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous high-side switch in multiphase buck topology, switching at 500–1000 kHz. Use Value: Low RDS(on) and Qg minimize power loss and thermal stress across multiple phases, improving VRM efficiency by ≥0.8% at full load. | Use Scenario: Half-bridge output stage in 24 V BLDC motor controller for factory automation actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switching element handling 30–50 A continuous current with PWM commutation at 20–40 kHz. Use Value: 175 °C rating and low RthJC allow direct mounting on aluminum chassis without additional heatsinking, reducing BOM cost and footprint. |
| Telecom PSU | Automotive DC/DC Converter |
Use Scenario: Isolated forward or LLC secondary-side synchronous rectifier in 48 V telecom power supply (3.3/5/12 V outputs). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier replacing Schottky diode, driven by self-driven or controller-synchronized gate signal. Use Value: 9.2 mΩ RDS(on) cuts conduction loss by >60% vs. 40 V Schottky, increasing full-load efficiency from 92% to 94.5%. | Use Scenario: 12 V to 5 V/3.3 V point-of-load converter in automotive infotainment head unit with extended temperature requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side switch in non-isolated buck regulator, operating across -40 °C to +125 °C ambient. Use Value: Guaranteed VGS(th) stability and RDS(on) derating per datasheet curves ensure reliable startup and regulation under cold-crank (6.5 V battery) conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP09N03LA | Identical silicon die, PG-TO220-3-1 package; RthJC = 2.4 K/W same, but lower creepage and no insulated tab. | Preferred where mechanical mounting constraints favor TO-220 footprint and isolation is not required. | Select IPP09N03LA when PCB layout space permits TO-220 and heatsink grounding is acceptable. |
| IRL3803PBF | 24 V VDS, 8.0 mΩ RDS(on) at 10 V, higher Qg (27 nC); same logic-level threshold and TO-220 package. | Better conduction loss but slower switching due to higher gate charge - less optimal above 300 kHz. | Choose IRL3803PBF only if lowest possible RDS(on) dominates over switching frequency and driver capability. |
Compared with IPP09N03LA, IPI09N03LA offers superior isolation and creepage for safety-critical AC/DC or industrial systems; versus IRL3803PBF, it delivers lower switching loss and better high-frequency efficiency despite marginally higher RDS(on).

FAQ
Is IPI09N03LA suitable for synchronous rectification in a 48 V to 12 V LLC converter?
Yes - its 25 V VDS, 9.2 mΩ RDS(on), and low Qg (10–13 nC) make it well-suited for secondary-side synchronous rectification in 48 V input LLC converters. The 175 °C rating and dv/dt ruggedness (6 kV/µs) ensure reliability under fast transient conditions typical of resonant topologies.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies ID = 46 A at TC = 100 °C. This value accounts for thermal derating based on RthJC = 2.4 K/W and maximum junction temperature of 175 °C - verified under steady-state conduction with proper heatsinking.
Does IPI09N03LA have integrated ESD protection on the gate?
No - the device does not include on-die ESD protection circuitry. External gate protection (e.g., 12 V Zener clamp between gate and source) is recommended in systems exposed to handling or board-level transients, per Infineon's application note AN2002-05.
Can IPI09N03LA replace IPP09N03LA in an existing TO-220 footprint design?
No - IPI09N03LA uses PG-TO262-3-1 (insulated TO-262), which has different pin spacing, tab isolation, and mounting hole pattern than TO-220. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign and mechanical revalidation; however, electrical characteristics are identical.
