Product details
Overview
IPP09N03LA from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel logic-level OptiMOS®2 power MOSFET in PG-TO220-3-1 package, rated for 25 V VDS, 9.2 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 30 A, 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature - used in high-frequency DC/DC converters and synchronous rectification stages.
For engineers reviewing the IPP09N03LA datasheet, IPP09N03LA pinout, IPP09N03LA application, or IPP09N03LA equivalent, key selection criteria include its low gate charge × RDS(on) figure of merit (FOM), dv/dt ruggedness (6 kV/µs), and thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.4 K/W) for high-efficiency, thermally constrained power stage designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-based silicon process optimized for low conduction and switching losses in hard-switched and synchronous buck topologies. Its logic-level gate threshold (VGS(th) = 1.2–2.0 V) enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V controllers without level-shifting.
Dynamic parameters confirm suitability for >500 kHz operation: Ciss = 1642 pF typ., Qg = 13 nC max., Qgd = 4.3 nC max., and tr/tf < 110 ns / 5 ns - enabling fast, controlled transitions with minimal overlap loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 25 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V input rail applications with margin |
| RDS(on) max | 9.2 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 30 A - Enables ≤1.5 W conduction loss at 40 A |
| ID cont. | 50 A at TC = 25 °C - Supported by TO-220 thermal path and bondwire rating |
| Qg | 13 nC max. - Low gate drive power requirement for high-frequency PWM control |
| dv/dt rating | 6 kV/µs - Confirmed immunity to false turn-on in noisy high-dV/dt environments |
| RthJC | 2.4 K/W - Allows ~26 W dissipation before reaching 175 °C junction under heatsink cooling |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Supports operation in sealed industrial enclosures without derating at ambient ≤85 °C |
Pinout & Package
IPP09N03LA uses the PG-TO220-3-1 package: insulated tab, vertical lead orientation, standard TO-220 footprint with G-D-S pin order (viewed from front, leads down). Thermal pad is electrically connected to drain.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Left) | Gate (G) | Control terminal; accepts logic-level drive; requires <13 nC charge for full enhancement |
| Pin 2 (Middle) | Drain (D) | Main power output node; tied to heatsink tab; carries full load current and avalanche energy |
| Pin 3 (Right) | Source (S) | Power return reference; forms common node with gate driver ground; low-inductance layout critical |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.6 V typ. - Direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and PWM ICs |
| Low FOM (Qg × RDS(on)) | ~120 nC·mΩ - Optimized trade-off between switching speed and conduction loss |
| Enhanced dv/dt ruggedness | 6 kV/µs - Validated under worst-case commutation stress per JEDEC JESD22-A114 |
| High-temperature operation | Rated to 175 °C Tj - Eliminates need for thermal derating in automotive under-hood or industrial motor drives |
| Integrated body diode | Qrr = 10 nC max. - Enables efficient synchronous rectification with low reverse recovery loss |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLZ44NPBF | RDS(on) = 22 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 60 nC; TO-220 package | Higher conduction loss; slower switching; suitable only for ≤200 kHz operation | Lower cost but sacrifices efficiency and thermal headroom in high-frequency designs |
| STP9NK25Z | VDS = 250 V; RDS(on) = 220 mΩ @ 10 V; Zener-protected gate | Over-specified voltage rating; unsuitable for low-voltage, high-current optimization | Only appropriate where transient overvoltage >100 V is expected - not a functional substitute |
Compared with IRLZ44NPBF and STP9NK25Z, IPP09N03LA delivers superior power density via its 9.2 mΩ/13 nC combination and 175 °C rating - making it the only choice among the three for thermally constrained, high-frequency DC/DC stages requiring <15 mΩ on-resistance.

FAQ
Is IPP09N03LA pin-compatible with IPI09N03LA?
Yes - both share identical PG-TO220-3-1 (IPP) and PG-TO262-3-1 (IPI) packages with G-D-S pinout, same marking layout, and identical electrical specs. The only difference is package type: IPP uses insulated TO-220; IPI uses D²PAK. PCB footprints and gate/drain/source connections are functionally interchangeable when mechanical mounting allows.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor for 1 MHz switching?
A 2.7 Ω gate resistor is validated in the datasheet for 1 MHz operation with 10 V drive. At that frequency, total switching time (tr + tf) remains <115 ns, limiting Miller-induced shoot-through risk. Higher values increase switching loss; lower values require careful layout to avoid ringing due to Lg interaction with Qgd.
Does IPP09N03LA support avalanche energy handling in unclamped inductive switching?
Yes - it is fully rated for single-pulse avalanche with EAS = 75 mJ at ID = 45 A and RGS = 25 Ω. This capability is verified per JEDEC JESD22-A114 and supports robustness in flyback or active clamp circuits where inductive energy must be absorbed internally without external snubbers.
Can IPP09N03LA be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient for RDS(on) (RDS(on) increases with Tj) enables inherent current sharing. Layout must ensure matched gate drive impedance and symmetrical thermal paths; paralleling beyond two units requires individual gate resistors and Kelvin source connections to maintain stability at high dI/dt.
