Product details
Overview
IPU09N03LA G from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel logic-level power MOSFET in PG-TO251-3-21 package, rated for 25 V VDS, 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 8.6 mΩ RDS(on) (max) at VGS = 10 V. It features 75 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, 6 kV/µs di/dt ruggedness, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature-designed for high-frequency DC/DC converters in server VRMs and POL modules.
For engineers reviewing the IPU09N03LA G datasheet, IPU09N03LA G pinout, IPU09N03LA G application, or IPU09N03LA G equivalent, key selection criteria include its low gate charge × RDS(on) figure of merit (FOM), superior thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.4 K/W), SMD-compatible TO251 footprint, and robust reverse diode with 50 A continuous forward current.
Technical Context
This device employs a trench-based OptiMOS®2 process optimized for high-switching-frequency synchronous rectification and high-side/low-side switching in buck converters. Its gate threshold voltage (1.2–2.0 V typ.) enables direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V logic, while its low Crss (61–92 pF) and fast switching times (tr = 5.6–8.4 ns, tf = 3.4–5.1 ns) minimize switching losses under hard-switching conditions.
The integrated body diode exhibits low VSD (0.97–1.2 V at 50 A, 25 °C) and low Qrr (≤10 nC), supporting efficient synchronous FET operation and reducing dead-time losses. Thermal design is enabled by validated RthJA values (50 K/W on 6 cm² copper) and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial and computing applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 25 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input rails and 5 V output stages in point-of-load converters. |
| RDS(on) max | 8.6 mΩ at VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤2.15 W conduction loss at 50 A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID cont. | 50 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current POL stages without forced air cooling when mounted on ≥6 cm² copper. |
| EAS | 75 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy in non-isolated buck converters without failure. |
| Qg | 10–13 nC - Low total gate charge reduces driver power demand and enables >1 MHz switching with standard gate drivers. |
| VGS(th) | 1.2–2.0 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO or PWM controller outputs. |
| RthJC | 2.4 K/W - Allows direct thermal path to heatsink or copper plane, enabling junction temperature control below 175 °C. |
Pinout & Package
IPU09N03LA G uses the PG-TO251-3-21 package: a surface-mount variant of the TO-251 (IPAK) with gull-wing leads, 3-terminal configuration, and exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement. The package is RoHS-compliant and Pb-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal, connected to die substrate | Exposed metal pad on bottom side-must be soldered to large copper area for thermal and electrical performance. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Connected internally to source metallization; forms low-inductance return path for high di/dt switching. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring <13 nC charge; sensitive to ESD-requires proper layout guard ring and series resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 4.5 V, eliminating need for level-shifting in 3.3 V control systems. |
| Low FOM (Qg × RDS(on)) | ~115 nC·mΩ - Balances switching and conduction losses for optimal efficiency in 300–1000 kHz DC/DC topologies. |
| 175 °C rated junction | Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating below full current rating. |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Validated per J-STD-20 and JESD22 for moisture sensitivity and temperature cycling-suitable for automotive-adjacent industrial use. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPD09N03LA G | PG-TO252-3-11 package; RthJC = 2.4 K/W; same die, larger thermal pad area | Better thermal performance in board-space-constrained designs where TO252 footprint is acceptable | Select when PCB layout allows TO252 and lower junction temperature is prioritized over component height. |
| IPF09N03LA G | PG-TO252-3-23 package; identical RDS(on), Qg, and SOA; different leadform for automated assembly | Optimized for high-speed pick-and-place with tighter coplanarity tolerance | Choose for volume production lines requiring enhanced placement yield and reflow consistency. |
Compared with IPD09N03LA G and IPF09N03LA G, IPU09N03LA G offers identical silicon performance but in the smaller, lower-profile PG-TO251-3-21 package-ideal for ultra-thin power modules where Z-height and board area are constrained, though with marginally higher RthJA than TO252 variants.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IPU09N03LA G?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V, with operation above +15 V or below –5 V limited to duty cycles < 0.25 and junction temperature ≤150 °C. Continuous operation at ±20 V exceeds safe operating limits and risks gate oxide degradation. Recommended drive range is 0 to 10 V for logic-level compatibility and long-term reliability.
Does IPU09N03LA G have avalanche capability, and how is it specified?
Yes-IPU09N03LA G is rated for 75 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) at ID = 45 A, RGS = 25 Ω, and Tj = 25 °C. This rating reflects ruggedness against inductive switching stress in non-synchronous or fault conditions, validated per JEDEC standards. Repetitive avalanche is not characterized and must be avoided in design.
Can IPU09N03LA G be used as a synchronous rectifier in a 1 MHz buck converter?
Yes-its 10–13 nC total gate charge, 5.6–8.4 ns rise time, and 3.4–5.1 ns fall time enable efficient operation up to 1 MHz. However, gate driver strength (≥2 A peak), PCB layout (minimized loop inductance), and thermal management (≥6 cm² copper) are essential to maintain switching integrity and prevent thermal runaway at full load.
How does the PG-TO251-3-21 package compare thermally to PG-TO252 variants?
IPU09N03LA G (TO251) shares the same RthJC = 2.4 K/W as TO252 versions, but its smaller footprint yields higher RthJA: 50 K/W on 6 cm² copper versus 45 K/W for TO252. This means identical junction-to-case thermal path, but slightly reduced board-level heat dissipation due to less copper attachment area-requiring careful thermal pad design in compact layouts.
