Product details
Overview
IPP04N03LA from Infineon Technologies is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET optimized for high-frequency DC/DC converters, featuring 25 V VDS, 4.2 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 55 A, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and dv/dt ruggedness rated to 6 kV/μs - deployed in synchronous buck converters for server VRMs and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IPP04N03LA datasheet, IPP04N03LA pinout, IPP04N03LA application, or IPP04N03LA equivalent, key selection criteria include gate charge (Qg = 24–32 nC), thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.4 K/W), reverse diode forward voltage (VSD = 0.96–1.2 V at 80 A), and SOA robustness under pulsed drain current up to 385 A.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS®2 device uses trench-gate superjunction technology to achieve low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit (FOM) for efficient switching in hard-switched topologies. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.0 V) enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic controllers without level-shifting.
The integrated body diode supports synchronous rectification with low Qrr (≤15 nC) and fast recovery, while dv/dt immunity ensures reliable operation during high-slew-rate transients in compact, high-density power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 25 V - defines maximum blocking voltage in low-voltage synchronous buck high-side or low-side switch applications |
| RDS(on) max | 4.2 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 55 A - enables <1 W conduction loss at 80 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 24–32 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in 300–1000 kHz converters |
| RthJC | 1.4 K/W - allows 76 W power dissipation at ΔT = 107 K with case temperature held at 25 °C |
| ID continuous | 80 A @ TC = 25 °C - supported by TO-220 package with copper tab and solderable drain pad |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.0 V - ensures full enhancement with standard logic-level gate drivers (e.g., TI UCC2753x, ON Semi NCP3420) |
| dv/dt rating | 6 kV/μs - prevents false turn-on during high di/dt commutation in multiphase VRMs |
Pinout & Package
IPP04N03LA is housed in PG-TO220-3 package: insulated plastic case with three leads - Drain (tab), Source (pin 1), Gate (pin 2). The metal tab is electrically connected to Drain and serves as primary heat path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current-carrying terminal, high-side switch node | Electrically tied to heatsink; requires isolation washer if heatsink is grounded |
| Source (Pin 1) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance connection essential for stable gate control and accurate RDS(on)-based current monitoring |
| Gate (Pin 2) | Control input for channel modulation | High-impedance node; requires low-impedance gate driver with ≤2.7 Ω series resistance to damp ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive compatibility | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 4.5 V - eliminates need for bootstrap or charge-pump gate drivers in 5 V systems |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg FOM | ~100 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for peak efficiency at 500 kHz in 12 V input VRMs |
| 175 °C rated junction temperature | Enables derated operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial power modules without forced air |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 6 kV/μs - sustains reliable operation during rapid voltage transients in multi-phase interleaved converters |
| Integrated robust body diode | VSD = 0.96 V @ 80 A, Qrr ≤ 15 nC - reduces reverse recovery loss and EMI in synchronous rectification |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar logic-level N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3803PbF | RDS(on) = 6.0 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 33 nC; TO-220AB package | Higher conduction loss and slower switching - suitable only for <300 kHz designs with relaxed efficiency targets | Select when legacy design reuse or second-source qualification is required over optimal FOM |
| STL220N3LLH6 | RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 42 nC; PowerFLAT 5x6 package | Lower RDS(on) but higher Qg and surface-mount only - demands PCB layout revision and thermal via optimization | Select for new designs prioritizing conduction loss reduction where board space permits SMT integration |
Compared with IRL3803PbF, IPP04N03LA delivers 30% lower RDS(on) and 25% lower Qg, improving both conduction and switching efficiency; versus STL220N3LLH6, it trades 24% higher RDS(on) for through-hole assembly compatibility and proven thermal performance in legacy TO-220 heatsink footprints.

FAQ
Is IPP04N03LA suitable for synchronous rectification in LLC resonant converters?
Yes. Its low Qrr (≤15 nC), soft-recovery body diode, and 6 kV/μs dv/dt rating make it suitable for secondary-side synchronous rectification in LLC converters operating up to 1 MHz. Measured VSD of 0.96 V at 80 A ensures minimal forward conduction loss during freewheeling intervals.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies ID = 80 A at both TC = 25 °C and TC = 100 °C. This reflects bondwire-limited current capacity rather than thermal limitation - the device maintains full 80 A rating up to 100 °C case temperature due to its 1.4 K/W RthJC and robust internal interconnect.
Does IPP04N03LA require a gate resistor for stability in 500 kHz operation?
Yes. A 2.2–2.7 Ω non-inductive gate resistor is recommended to damp high-frequency ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 175–263 pF) and PCB trace inductance. This value aligns with Infineon's reference design guidelines for OptiMOS®2 devices in hard-switched buck converters.
Can IPP04N03LA be used in parallel configurations for higher current handling?
Yes. Its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (increases with junction temperature) enables inherent current sharing when paralleled. Layout must ensure matched gate drive paths and symmetrical source inductance; typical designs use 2–4 devices per phase with individual 1 Ω gate resistors and Kelvin source connections.
