Product details
Overview
IPP03N03LA from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel logic-level OptiMOS®2 power MOSFET in PG-TO220-3-1 package, rated for 25 V VDS, 3.0 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 55 A, 80 A continuous drain current, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature - optimized for high-frequency DC/DC converters in server VRMs and POL modules.
For engineers reviewing the IPP03N03LA datasheet, IPP03N03LA pinout, IPP03N03LA application, or IPP03N03LA equivalent, key selection criteria include its low gate charge × RDS(on) figure of merit (FOM), dv/dt ruggedness (6 kV/µs), 1 K/W thermal resistance (junction-to-case), and logic-level gate drive compatibility with 4.5 V controllers.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-based silicon process optimized for low conduction and switching losses in synchronous buck topologies. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.0 V typ) enables reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic, while its 43–57 nC total gate charge and 12–18 nC Qgd support efficient high-frequency operation up to 1 MHz.
The device integrates a robust body diode with 20 nC reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and 0.96–1.2 V forward voltage at 80 A, enabling hard-switched and synchronous rectification roles. Thermal design is supported by a 1 K/W RthJC and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial and computing applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 25 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input rails and 5 V output stages |
| RDS(on) max | 3.0 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 55 A - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 80 A in TO-220 package |
| ID cont. | 80 A @ TC = 25 °C - Sustained current capability limited by bondwire, not die thermal limit |
| Qg total | 43–57 nC - Low gate drive energy supports efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz switching with minimal driver loss |
| RthJC | 1 K/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting for high-power density thermal management |
| dv/dt rating | 6 kV/µs - Confirmed avalanche-tested immunity to parasitic turn-on in fast-switching converters |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Extended temperature range supports operation in constrained airflow environments |
Pinout & Package
IPP03N03LA uses the PG-TO220-3-1 package: insulated case, vertical leadframe, 3-terminal through-hole configuration with tab-drain connection. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Logic-level compatible; requires ≤10 V drive; 0.9 Ω internal gate resistance limits ringing |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | High-side or low-side switch node | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be isolated from heatsink unless floating topology used |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance return path; critical for accurate RDS(on)-based current monitoring |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Turns on fully at VGS ≥ 4.5 V - eliminates need for gate boosters in 5 V control systems |
| Low FOM (Qg × RDS(on)) | ~170 nC·mΩ - balances switching and conduction loss for optimal efficiency at 300–800 kHz |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Qualified per J-STD-20/JESD22 - validated for reflow, temperature cycling, and HAST in target applications |
| Robust body diode | Qrr = 20 nC, VSD = 0.96 V @ 80 A - reduces dead-time loss and EMI in synchronous rectification |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | Lead plating meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - suitable for consumer and industrial end equipment |
Applications
| Server Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs) | Point-of-Load (POL) Converters |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB03N03L G | PG-TO263-3 package; identical RDS(on), Qg, and VDS; 0.95 K/W RthJC | SMT mounting only; no through-hole option; better thermal performance on PCB | Select for automated assembly and improved board-level thermal dissipation |
| IRL3803PBF | 20 V VDS, 3.0 mΩ RDS(on), higher Qg (68 nC); TO-220AB package | Limited to ≤20 V systems; less dv/dt ruggedness (not specified); older generation process | Select only for legacy 20 V designs where footprint compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with IPB03N03LG and IRL3803PBF, IPP03N03LA uniquely combines TO-220 through-hole mountability, 25 V rating, 6 kV/µs dv/dt immunity, and JEDEC qualification - making it optimal for new industrial and computing power designs requiring field-replaceability and thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for IPP03N03LA?
The absolute maximum drain-source voltage (VBR(DSS)) is 25 V at Tj = 25 °C, derating linearly to ~22.5 V at 175 °C. Operation above 25 V violates absolute maximum ratings and risks avalanche-induced failure, even with dv/dt rating. Design margin should maintain VDS ≤ 20 V in transient conditions.
Can IPP03N03LA be used as a high-side switch with bootstrap gate drive?
Yes - its 1.2–2.0 V gate threshold and 4.5 V logic-level compatibility allow reliable turn-on using standard bootstrap circuits with 12 V gate drive. The 6 kV/µs dv/dt rating ensures immunity to false triggering during high dV/dt transitions typical in high-side configurations.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky alternatives?
The integrated body diode has VSD = 0.96–1.2 V at 80 A and Qrr = 20 nC - higher forward drop than Schottky diodes but lower Qrr than most FRDs. It is suitable for synchronous rectification where gate control eliminates reverse recovery loss, but not recommended for freewheeling-only applications demanding ultra-low VF.
Is IPP03N03LA suitable for automotive applications per AEC-Q101?
No - IPP03N03LA is not AEC-Q101 qualified. It is JEDEC-qualified for industrial and computing applications only. For automotive use, Infineon's OptiMOS™ 5 or StrongIRFET™ families with AEC-Q101 certification (e.g., IPP034N04L G) must be selected instead.
