Product details
Overview
IPP120N08S404AKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an AEC-Q101-qualified N-channel enhancement-mode OptiMOS™-T2 power MOSFET in PG-TO220-3-1 package, rated for 80 V VDS, 4.1 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 100 A, with 175 °C maximum junction temperature. It delivers high-current switching in automotive DC-DC converters, motor control inverters, and on-board chargers.
For engineers reviewing the IPP120N08S404AKSA1 datasheet, IPP120N08S404AKSA1 pinout, IPP120N08S404AKSA1 application, or IPP120N08S404AKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) stability over temperature, avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 310 mJ), gate charge profile (Qg = 70–95 nC), and thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.84 K/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction and switching losses in high-duty-cycle automotive power stages. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V) ensures robust noise immunity while enabling direct drive from standard 3.3 V/5 V logic controllers.
The integrated body diode supports synchronous rectification and freewheeling operation with trr = 70 ns and Qrr = 130 nC at Tj = 25 °C, and exhibits stable RDS(on) temperature coefficient (α ≈ 0.4) up to 175 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V automotive systems with transient margin. |
| RDS(on) max | 4.1 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 100 A - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 120 A continuous current. |
| ID cont | 120 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supported by TO-220 package with copper tab and low RthJC = 0.84 K/W. |
| EAS | 310 mJ @ ID = 60 A - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche energy rating for inductive load turn-off reliability. |
| Qg | 70–95 nC - Defines gate driver power requirement and switching speed trade-off in hard-switched topologies. |
| tr/tf | 10 ns / 35 ns - Fast edge rates support >100 kHz PWM operation with minimized switching loss. |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–4.0 V - Ensures clean turn-on above typical microcontroller GPIO noise floor. |
Pinout & Package
IPP120N08S404AKSA1 uses the PG-TO220-3-1 package: insulated plastic case with three leads, metal tab (drain) electrically connected to pin 2, and standard through-hole mounting footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal | Low-side reference node; connects to ground or current-sense shunt for feedback control. |
| Pin 2 (Drain) | Drain terminal | High-current power path; electrically tied to metal tab for thermal conduction and EMI shielding. |
| Pin 3 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <100 nA leakage; sensitive to ESD and layout-induced ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Automotive On-Board Charger (OBC) | 48 V Mild Hybrid DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional power conversion between 400 V traction battery and 48 V auxiliary bus during regenerative braking and start-stop cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side switch in interleaved buck-boost stage handling 10–15 kW continuous power. Use Value: Low RDS(on) minimizes conduction loss at 120 A; avalanche rating ensures safe turn-off during bus fault transients. | Use Scenario: Step-down conversion from 48 V rail to 12 V for ADAS sensors, infotainment, and lighting loads. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side synchronous rectifier in phase-shifted full-bridge topology. Use Value: Fast tr/tf enables >200 kHz switching, reducing magnetics size; low Qg eases gate driver design. |
| Electric Power Steering (EPS) Inverter | Commercial Vehicle HVAC Blower Drive |
Use Scenario: Three-phase inverter supplying torque assist to steering column via 300–500 W BLDC motor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in 6-pack half-bridge configuration with space-constrained heatsink. Use Value: RthJC = 0.84 K/W allows direct mounting to aluminum housing; 175 °C rating avoids thermal shutdown during peak assist events. | Use Scenario: High-reliability blower motor control in refrigerated truck cabins exposed to wide ambient (-40 to +85 °C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended switch in PWM-controlled flyback or buck-derived supply. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification ensures long-term reliability; 100% avalanche test prevents field failure from inductive kickback. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPP120N08N3-05 | RDS(on) = 3.5 mΩ max (lower), but VDS = 75 V and non-AEC-Q101 qualified. | Suitable for industrial 48 V supplies where automotive qualification is not required. | Select when higher efficiency outweighs automotive compliance and transient voltage margin. |
| IPB120N08S4-04 | Identical die, PG-TO263-3-2 package; RthJC = 0.84 K/W same, but surface-mount compatible. | Preferred for automated SMT production and compact board layouts with thermal pads. | Select for volume PCB assembly where reflow compatibility and smaller footprint are critical. |
Compared with IPP120N08S404AKSA1, IPP120N08N3-05 trades voltage margin for lower RDS(on), while IPB120N08S4-04 retains identical electrical specs but shifts to SMD packaging-enabling either cost-optimized industrial use or high-density automotive PCB integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 108 A at TC = 100 °C and VGS = 10 V, limited by thermal resistance and bondwire capacity-not by silicon channel capability. This rating assumes proper heatsinking and airflow per Infineon's thermal test conditions (FR4 PCB with 6 cm² copper area).
Does IPP120N08S404AKSA1 include an integrated Schottky diode?
No-it features a monolithic parasitic body diode inherent to vertical N-channel MOSFET structure. That diode has VSD = 0.9–1.3 V at IF = 100 A and trr = 70 ns, but it is not a discrete Schottky; external Schottky diodes may be added for improved reverse recovery in critical synchronous rectifier designs.
Is the gate oxide rated for 20 V absolute maximum, and can it tolerate negative gate voltage?
Yes-VGS rating is ±20 V, meaning the device tolerates –20 V gate-to-source voltage without oxide damage. However, sustained negative bias below –5 V is not recommended in normal operation due to increased Miller capacitance effects and potential for unintended turn-on during fast dv/dt events.
How does the 100% avalanche testing impact field reliability?
Every unit undergoes single-pulse avalanche stress at IAS = 99 A and EAS = 310 mJ-verifying robustness against inductive switching faults. This eliminates latent defects and correlates strongly with long-term reliability in motor drive and converter applications where unclamped inductive switching occurs.
