Product details
Overview
IPP70N04S406AKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 40 V, 70 A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in PG-TO220-3-1 package, AEC-qualified for automotive applications, with 6.2 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 100% single-pulse avalanche tested to 72 mJ. It operates up to 175 °C and supports high-current motor drive and DC-DC converter primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the IPP70N04S406AKSA1 datasheet, IPP70N04S406AKSA1 pinout, IPP70N04S406AKSA1 application, or IPP70N04S406AKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 70 A, thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.6 K/W), avalanche ruggedness, gate charge profile (Qg = 24.5–32.0 nC), and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This OptiMOS™-T2 device uses trench-gate superjunction technology optimized for low conduction and switching losses in 12 V automotive systems. Its 5.6 mΩ typical RDS(on) at 70 A and 10 V gate drive enables high-efficiency synchronous rectification and H-bridge motor control.
The MOSFET features tightly controlled gate threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V), low reverse transfer capacitance (Crss = 15–35 pF), and fast switching (tr = 10 ns, tf = 9 ns) under 3.5 Ω gate resistance - critical for minimizing shoot-through risk in half-bridge topologies.

| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets automotive reliability standard for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock |
Pinout & Package
IPP70N04S406AKSA1 is housed in PG-TO220-3-1 package: insulated case, vertical lead orientation, 3-terminal through-hole mounting with tab-drain configuration. The metal tab is electrically connected to the drain terminal and serves as primary thermal path.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-source voltage rating for IPP70N04S406AKSA1?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±15 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is 10 V for full enhancement, with 5.9 V gate plateau voltage confirmed in gate charge testing - ensuring reliable turn-on even with driver voltage droop.
Does IPP70N04S406AKSA1 require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a series gate resistor is required to control dV/dt and prevent oscillation. With RG = 3.5 Ω, typical turn-on delay is 8 ns and rise time is 10 ns. For 500 kHz PWM in DC-DC converters, 2.2–4.7 Ω balances switching speed and EMI; values below 1.5 Ω increase ringing risk without meaningful efficiency gain.
Is IPP70N04S406AKSA1 suitable for linear-mode operation?
It is rated for linear operation per SOA curves on page 4 of the datasheet, supporting continuous operation up to 200 V·A at TC = 25 °C. However, sustained linear use above 10 W requires active heatsinking due to RthJC = 2.6 K/W - not recommended for unregulated analog regulators without thermal derating.
How does the 100% avalanche test impact field reliability?
Each unit undergoes single-pulse avalanche stress at IAS = 70 A and EAS = 72 mJ, verifying no parametric shift or catastrophic failure. This screening ensures robustness against inductive kickback in motor drives and relay coils - reducing field returns related to transient overstress by >90% versus non-avalanche-tested equivalents.
