Product details
Overview
IPI70N04S406AKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 40 V, 70 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in PG-TO262-3-1 package, AEC-qualified for automotive powertrain and body electronics, with 6.2 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 100% avalanche tested, and rated for 175 °C operation.
For engineers reviewing the IPI70N04S406AKSA1 datasheet, IPI70N04S406AKSA1 pinout, IPI70N04S406AKSA1 application, or IPI70N04S406AKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include continuous drain current at elevated case temperature, single-pulse avalanche energy (72 mJ), gate charge profile (Qg = 24.5–32.0 nC), thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.6 K/W), and automotive qualification status.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS™-T2 device uses trench-gate superjunction technology optimized for low conduction and switching losses in DC-DC converters and motor control inverters. Its 5.6 mΩ typical RDS(on) at 10 V gate drive enables high-efficiency 12 V/24 V automotive loads, while the 5.9 V gate plateau voltage supports robust PWM timing control under varying gate driver output impedance.
The MOSFET integrates an intrinsic fast-recovery body diode with trr = 36 ns and Qrr = 31 nC at Tj = 25 °C, enabling synchronous rectification in buck converters without external Schottky diodes. Its 1960–2550 pF input capacitance and 15–35 pF reverse transfer capacitance define hard-switching gate drive requirements.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IPI70N04S406AKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V, as specified in the datasheet's "Maximum ratings" table. Operation beyond this range risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable PWM control, gate drive should be clamped to +10 V to ensure full enhancement while maintaining margin against overshoot during fast switching transitions.
Does IPI70N04S406AKSA1 require a gate resistor, and if so, what value is recommended?
Yes-a gate resistor is required to control dV/dt and suppress ringing. Based on its 24.5–32.0 nC total gate charge and typical 2 A gate driver output, a 3.5 Ω resistor is recommended (per datasheet test condition for td(on)/tr). Lower values increase switching speed but raise EMI risk; higher values reduce losses but extend transition times and increase switching loss.
Is the body diode in IPI70N04S406AKSA1 suitable for synchronous rectification?
Yes-the intrinsic body diode has trr = 36 ns and Qrr = 31 nC at 25 °C, enabling use in synchronous buck topologies up to 500 kHz. However, its VSD = 0.9–1.3 V forward drop is higher than discrete Schottky diodes, so conduction loss must be evaluated against switching loss reduction in the target operating point.
How does the 175 °C maximum junction temperature impact thermal design?
The 175 °C rating allows operation in high-ambient environments like engine compartments without derating at temperatures up to 150 °C ambient, provided RthJA ≤ 40 K/W (with 6 cm² PCB copper). This eliminates need for active cooling in many under-hood modules and simplifies heatsink selection versus 150 °C-rated alternatives.
