Product details
Overview
IPP055N03LGXKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel logic-level power MOSFET in PG-TO220-3-1 package, rated for 30 V VDS, 5.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It features avalanche rating, low gate charge (Qg = 31 nC), and optimized FOM for high-efficiency DC/DC converters and synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the IPP055N03LGXKSA1 datasheet, IPP055N03LGXKSA1 pinout, IPP055N03LGXKSA1 application, or IPP055N03LGXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) vs. gate drive voltage, switching loss trade-offs in hard-switched SMPS, thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.2 K/W), and diode Qrr (20 nC) for synchronous FET replacement.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's OptiMOS™3 technology, delivering a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 1–2.2 V and excellent RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit for high-frequency operation. Its low 4.6 mΩ typical RDS(on) at 10 V and 6.2 mΩ at 4.5 V enables efficient operation with standard logic-level drivers.
The device supports robust unclamped inductive switching with 60 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy and exhibits stable dynamic characteristics: Ciss = 2400–3200 pF, Coss = 920–1200 pF, and tr/tf = 5.2 ns / 4.0 ns under defined test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24 V input rail applications |
| RDS(on) max | 5.5 mΩ at VGS = 10 V - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A |
| ID cont. | 50 A at TC = 25 °C - Requires heatsink for sustained full-load operation |
| Qg | 31 nC at VDD = 15 V, ID = 30 A - Determines gate driver current demand and switching speed |
| EAS | 60 mJ - Supports reliable operation under unclamped inductive load transients |
| Qrr | 20 nC - Critical for minimizing reverse recovery loss in synchronous buck topologies |
| RthJC | 2.2 K/W - Enables direct thermal path to heatsink via drain tab |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-3-1 - Through-hole, isolated drain tab, 3-pin vertical mounting with screw-hole compatibility. Drain connected to metal tab for thermal and electrical conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal | Reference node for gate drive; connects to low-side return path |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input | Logic-level compatible (1–2.2 V threshold); requires <1 Ω series resistance for ringing suppression |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Power output / high-side switch node | Internally bonded to metal tab; must be electrically isolated and thermally coupled to heatsink |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 4.5 V - eliminates need for gate boosters in 5 V or 3.3 V control systems |
| Avalanche-rated | 60 mJ single-pulse EAS - ensures ruggedness in flyback, LLC, and motor drive inductive turn-off events |
| Low Qg × RDS(on) FOM | 31 nC × 5.5 mΩ = 170.5 - benchmark for high-frequency, high-efficiency SMPS design |
| Optimized body diode | Qrr = 20 nC, VSD = 0.88–1.1 V - reduces cross-conduction loss and EMI in synchronous rectification |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB055N03LG | Same die, PG-TO263-3 surface-mount package; RthJA = 40 K/W on 6 cm² PCB | Better suited for automated SMT assembly and space-constrained layouts | Select for volume production where reflow capability and board density outweigh through-hole serviceability |
| IRL3803PBF | Higher RDS(on) (8.0 mΩ), higher Qg (42 nC), TO-220AB package, non-avalanche rated | Lacks EAS rating and has inferior FOM; limited to low-stress, low-frequency SMPS | Only consider if cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency, thermal, and ruggedness requirements |
Compared with IPB055N03LG, IPP055N03LGXKSA1 offers identical electrical performance but superior mechanical mounting and thermal interface via TO220-3-1's isolated drain tab. Versus IRL3803PBF, it delivers 31% lower conduction loss, 26% lower gate charge, and guaranteed avalanche capability-critical for industrial and telecom reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate-source voltage for reliable operation?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V, but continuous operation above ±16 V risks gate oxide degradation. For optimal lifetime and stability, keep VGS within 0–12 V during normal switching, with transient spikes clamped below ±15 V using Zener protection.
Can IPP055N03LGXKSA1 be used as a synchronous rectifier in a 48 V to 12 V LLC converter?
Yes - its 30 V VDS, 20 nC Qrr, and 0.88 V VSD make it suitable for secondary-side synchronous rectification in 48 V input LLC designs. Ensure gate drive timing avoids shoot-through and that layout minimizes source inductance to preserve fast turn-on.
How does thermal resistance change when mounted without a heatsink?
Without a heatsink, RthJA exceeds 62 K/W on minimal footprint PCB, limiting continuous ID to <10 A at 25 °C ambient. The 2.2 K/W RthJC only applies when the drain tab is directly attached to a heatsink - unmounted operation violates safe operating area limits.
Is this MOSFET suitable for linear-mode (saturation) operation?
No - it is optimized for switching applications. Linear-mode use causes localized hot-spot formation due to uneven current distribution across the die, leading to premature failure. Its SOA curve shows strict pulse-width and voltage limits outside switching duty cycles.
