Product details
Overview
IPP044N03LF2SAKSA1 from Infineon is a logic-level N-channel MOSFET in PG-TO220-3 package, rated for 30 V VDS, 4.35 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 53 A continuous drain current, and 175 °C junction temperature. It serves as a high-efficiency power switch in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and e-fuse circuits where low conduction loss and fast switching are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IPP044N03LF2SAKSA1 datasheet, IPP044N03LF2SAKSA1 pinout, IPP044N03LF2SAKSA1 application, or IPP044N03LF2SAKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.35 mΩ on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, 13 nC Qg(0V–4.5V) for logic-level compatibility, 100% avalanche-tested ruggedness, and TO-220 thermal performance with 2.0 °C/W RthJC.
Technical Context
This StrongIRFET™ 2 device uses trench-gate superjunction technology optimized for low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit. Its 1.85 V typical VGS(th) enables reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs, and its 100% single-pulse avalanche rating (EAS = 114 mJ) supports robust operation under inductive switching stress.
The MOSFET features integrated body diode with 0.84 V typical VSD at 30 A and 16 ns trr, enabling synchronous rectification in buck converters. Its gate charge profile shows 3.3 V plateau voltage and 13 nC total gate charge up to 4.5 V, minimizing drive power and simplifying gate driver selection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24 V system-level power switches |
| RDS(on) max | 4.35 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 30 A - Enables <1.3 W conduction loss at 53 A continuous load |
| ID cont | 53 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current loads with standard TO-220 heatsinking |
| Qg(0V–4.5V) | 13 nC - Ensures full enhancement with low-voltage logic drivers (e.g., 3.3 V MCU GPIO) |
| EAS | 114 mJ - Guarantees safe operation during unclamped inductive switching events |
| RthJC | 2.0 °C/W - Allows direct thermal path to heatsink; enables 75 W PD at TC = 25 °C |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Rated for automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-3 (standard through-hole, isolated tab, lead-free, RoHS/halogen-free compliant). Tab is electrically connected to Drain.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives gate drive signal; requires ≤20 V absolute max; low input capacitance (1800 pF) reduces driver loading |
| Pin 2 (Drain) / Tab | High-side power node | Connected to main power rail; tab provides primary thermal path to heatsink; electrically tied to Pin 2 |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference and return path | Serves as local ground reference for gate drive; carries full load current; must be routed with low inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.35–2.35 V ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V or 5 V controllers without level-shifting |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated to EAS = 114 mJ - eliminates need for external snubbers in flyback or motor phase-leg designs |
| Low Qg/RDS(on) ratio | 13 nC gate charge at 4.5 V with 4.35 mΩ on-resistance - optimizes trade-off between switching loss and conduction loss |
| Enhanced thermal reliability | 175 °C Tj(max) + 2.0 °C/W RthJC - supports sustained operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial settings |
| Integrated robust body diode | trr = 16 ns, Qrr = 36 nC - enables efficient synchronous rectification in high-frequency DC-DC converters |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | Brushed DC Motor Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-efficiency 12–24 V input to 3.3/5/12 V output conversion in telecom power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous high-side power switch operating at 300–1000 kHz switching frequency. Use Value: 4.35 mΩ RDS(on) and 13 nC Qg(0V–4.5V) reduce both conduction and gate drive losses, improving full-load efficiency by ≥1.2% vs. legacy 5.5 mΩ parts. |
Use Scenario: H-bridge control of 24 V brushed motors in industrial actuators and robotics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side or high-side switching element handling bidirectional 30–50 A peak currents. Use Value: 100% avalanche rating and 175 °C Tj ensure survival during motor stall, back-EMF transients, and ambient temperatures up to 105 °C. |
| e-Fuse / Load Switch | Hot-Swap Controller |
Use Scenario: Overcurrent-protected 24 V power distribution in server backplanes and modular PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main pass transistor in active current-limiting circuit with fast fault response. Use Value: Low RDS(on) minimizes voltage drop (<130 mV at 30 A), while 16 ns trr and low Qrr suppress oscillation during current-limit transitions. |
Use Scenario: Inrush current limiting during live insertion of PCIe cards or storage modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Controlled ramp-up power switch with precise dI/dt management. Use Value: Gate plateau at 3.3 V enables predictable linear-mode operation; 2.0 °C/W RthJC allows short-duration SOA compliance during soft-start. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N3LLH6 | RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ @ 10 V but higher Qg = 24 nC; PG-TSDSON-8 package (surface-mount) | Requires PCB layout redesign; better for high-density, high-frequency SMPS but lacks TO-220 mechanical robustness | Select when board space is constrained and thermal interface uses copper pour instead of heatsink. |
| IRF3710PBF | RDS(on) = 24 mΩ @ 10 V; older planar process; no avalanche rating; TO-220AB package | Higher conduction loss limits use to <15 A continuous; unsuitable for inductive switching without snubber | Only consider for cost-sensitive, low-power, non-avalanche-critical legacy replacements. |
Compared with STL220N3LLH6 and IRF3710PBF, IPP044N03LF2SAKSA1 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), logic-level drive, proven avalanche ruggedness, and through-hole serviceability-making it preferred for industrial motor control and programmable power delivery where reliability and thermal margin are prioritized over footprint size.

FAQ
Is IPP044N03LF2SAKSA1 suitable for synchronous rectification?
Yes. Its integrated body diode has 0.84 V typical forward voltage at 30 A and 16 ns reverse recovery time, verified per datasheet Table 7. These parameters enable efficient synchronous operation in buck converters up to 1 MHz, provided gate drive timing accounts for Qrr = 36 nC and trr = 16 ns.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor for 500 kHz switching?
A 10 Ω gate resistor is recommended for 500 kHz operation with 3.3 V logic drivers. This value balances rise/fall times (tr ≈ 23 ns, tf ≈ 6.9 ns per Table 5) against ringing suppression, given the device's 1800 pF Ciss and 100 pF Crss. Lower values risk overshoot; higher values increase switching loss.
Does the TO-220 tab require electrical isolation from the heatsink?
Yes. The tab is internally connected to Pin 2 (Drain), so electrical isolation-using mica or polymer insulator pads plus shoulder washers-is mandatory when mounting to a grounded heatsink. Thermal interface material must maintain dielectric strength ≥500 V to prevent short-circuit failure.
Can IPP044N03LF2SAKSA1 replace IPP040N03LG in existing designs?
Yes, with validation. Both are 30 V TO-220 N-channel MOSFETs, but IPP044N03LF2SAKSA1 has lower RDS(on) (4.35 mΩ vs. 4.0 mΩ typ.) and higher Qg (13 nC vs. 11.5 nC). Layout and gate drive strength should be verified, especially for >300 kHz operation where increased Qg affects driver loading.
