Product details
Overview
IPP027N08N5AKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-220-3 package, rated for 80 V VDS, 2.7 mΩ RDS(on) max at VGS = 10 V, and 120 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It features low gate charge (QG = 99 nC), 100% avalanche tested operation, and is optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the IPP027N08N5AKSA1 datasheet, IPP027N08N5AKSA1 pinout, IPP027N08N5AKSA1 application, or IPP027N08N5AKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) vs. temperature stability, Qg/Qoss trade-offs for ZVS/ZCS topologies, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.5 K/W), and SOA robustness under pulsed load conditions.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS™ 5 device uses trench-gate superjunction technology to achieve ultra-low RDS(on) × QG figure-of-merit (FOM) while maintaining fast switching (td(on) = 22 ns, tf = 15 ns) and low output charge (Qoss = 116 nC). Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.2–3.8 V) supports standard 10 V gate drive with margin against spurious turn-on.
The integrated body diode delivers low forward voltage (VSD = 0.95 V typ. at IF = 100 A) and controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 187 nC, trr = 84 ns), enabling reliable synchronous FET operation without external Schottky supplementation in buck and LLC converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 48 V input systems with 20 % derating margin |
| RDS(on), max | 2.7 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 120 A, critical for high-current POL stages |
| ID, cont | 120 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-power server VRMs and industrial motor drives with minimal parallel devices |
| QG | 99 nC @ 0–10 V - Low gate drive energy reduces driver IC stress and enables >1 MHz switching in GaN-complementary designs |
| RthJC | 0.5 K/W - Allows 214 W power dissipation with ≤100 K junction-to-case rise, simplifying heatsink sizing |
| EAS | 374 mJ - Robust single-pulse avalanche capability ensures reliability during inductive load transients |
| Qoss | 116 nC @ VDS = 40 V - Minimizes turn-off loss in hard-switched topologies and improves ZVS initiation margin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB027N08N5ATMA1 | Same die, D²PAK-3L package; RthJC = 0.7 K/W; higher parasitic inductance | Better suited for surface-mount PCBs with limited vertical space; lower mechanical robustness in vibration-prone environments | Select for automated assembly where TO-220 footprint is unavailable; derate ID by 15 % at same TC |
| STL220N8F7 | 80 V, 2.2 mΩ, but QG = 125 nC; higher Ciss (8.2 nF); not avalanche rated | Lacks guaranteed avalanche ruggedness; unsuitable for inductive load switching without snubbers | Prefer only in cost-sensitive, low-transient applications with tight RDS(on) tolerance but relaxed switching and reliability requirements |
Compared with IPB027N08N5ATMA1, IPP027N08N5AKSA1 offers superior thermal resistance and mechanical stability for high-reliability power stages; versus STL220N8F7, it trades 0.5 mΩ higher RDS(on) for 26 nC lower QG and certified avalanche endurance-critical for automotive and industrial field deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for reliable switching at 1 MHz?
A 1.6 Ω external gate resistor was used in the datasheet's dynamic characterization (td(on) = 22 ns, tf = 15 ns). For 1 MHz operation with minimal overshoot, a 2.2–3.3 Ω resistor is recommended to limit dV/dt-induced shoot-through while maintaining <50 ns total switching time. Lower values risk ringing; higher values increase switching loss disproportionately.
Can IPP027N08N5AKSA1 be used in linear mode (as a pass transistor)?
No. This device is not characterized or rated for linear (SOA-limited) operation. Its Safe Operating Area diagram specifies only pulsed DC conditions up to 10 ms, and thermal impedance curves assume switching duty cycles. Linear use risks localized hot-spot formation and premature failure due to lack of lateral thermal uniformity in the die structure.
Is the drain tab electrically isolated from the mounting surface?
No-the drain (Pin 2) is directly connected to the metal tab. When mounting to a heatsink, an electrically insulating thermal pad or mica washer must be used unless the heatsink is floating or referenced to drain potential. Failure to isolate may cause short-circuit faults or ground-loop noise in sensitive control circuits.
Does this part support gate drive voltages below 10 V?
Yes-VGS(th) ranges from 2.2 V to 3.8 V, and RDS(on) is specified down to VGS = 6 V (2.9 mΩ max). However, at 6 V drive, conduction loss increases ~8 % versus 10 V, and noise immunity decreases significantly. For robust operation, ≥8 V gate drive is strongly recommended, especially in noisy industrial environments.
