Product details
Overview
SPB160N04S2-03 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode OptiMOS™ power MOSFET rated for 40 V VDS, 2.9 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 80 A, with 160 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C and 175 °C maximum junction temperature. It is avalanche-rated, dv/dt-rated, and packaged in PG-TO263-7 (D²PAK) for high-current motor control and DC-DC converter primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the SPB160N04S2-03 datasheet, SPB160N04S2-03 pinout, SPB160N04S2-03 application, or SPB160N04S2-03 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) stability over temperature, single-pulse avalanche energy (810 mJ), gate charge profile (Qg = 170 nC), thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.5 K/W), and diode reverse recovery performance (Qrr = 125 nC).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in high-current, high-efficiency power stages. Its 2.3–2.9 mΩ RDS(on) range supports high-current operation with minimal I²R heating, while the 175 °C rated junction enables compact thermal design in constrained environments.
The device integrates a robust body diode with 160 A continuous forward current capability, 0.9–1.3 V VSD at 80 A, and 60–75 ns trr, enabling synchronous rectification and freewheeling in hard-switched topologies without external diode supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V/36 V battery-fed systems and 48 V intermediate bus applications. |
| RDS(on) | 2.9 mΩ max at VGS = 10 V, ID = 80 A - Enables <1.9 W conduction loss at 80 A, critical for thermally limited PCB layouts. |
| ID (cont.) | 160 A at TC = 25 °C - Supports high-current motor drives and server VRMs without parallel devices. |
| EAS | 810 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy surges up to 80 A × 25 V without failure, reducing snubber complexity. |
| Qg | 170 nC - Defines gate drive power requirement; requires ≥2 A peak driver for 100 kHz switching with <32 ns td(on). |
| tr/tf | 50–75 ns / 40–60 ns - Enables efficient 100–200 kHz operation in LLC and synchronous buck converters. |
| VGS(th) | 2.1–4.0 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 3.3 V logic-level gate drivers. |
| RthJC | 0.5 K/W - Allows direct heatsink mounting to sustain 300 W Ptot at TC = 25 °C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO263-7 (D²PAK-7), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed drain pad and 7-terminal configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Source) | Power return path for channel current | Low-inductance connection point for source loop minimization; tied to PCB ground plane. |
| 2 (Gate) | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring low-capacitance routing; sensitive to noise coupling. |
| 3 (Drain) | Main power output node | Internally connected to large copper die attach area; must be routed to high-current trace or heatsink. |
| 4 (Source) | Secondary source connection | Reduces source inductance in high-di/dt applications; improves switching consistency. |
| 5 (Source) | Third source connection | Further lowers common-source inductance for multi-phase or paralleled configurations. |
| 6 (Drain) | Secondary drain connection | Enhances current sharing across internal bondwires; reduces localized heating. |
| 7 (Drain) | Third drain connection | Supports >160 A current handling by distributing current across three drain terminals. |

Applications
| Motor Drive Inverter | Server VRM High-Side Switch |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous switch in dual-active-bridge topology; conducts up to 160 A continuously with reverse current capability. Use Value: Avalanche rating (810 mJ) absorbs energy from transformer leakage inductance during soft-start and fault conditions, eliminating need for external TVS. | Use Scenario: Output inverter stage in 3 kVA industrial uninterruptible power supply, converting 400 V DC bus to 230 V AC with sinusoidal PWM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in H-bridge leg; handles 100% duty-cycle freewheeling and high di/dt commutation. Use Value: Body diode VSD = 0.9 V at 80 A reduces freewheeling loss by 35% vs. discrete Schottky, improving thermal margin at 50 °C ambient. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPB180N04S4-02 | RDS(on) = 1.8 mΩ (lower), Qg = 195 nC (higher), same 40 V rating and TO263-7 package | Better conduction loss but higher gate drive demand; less suitable for ultra-high-frequency designs | Select when thermal budget is tighter than drive capability; verify gate driver peak current ≥2.5 A. |
| IRFB4115PBF | RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ (higher), Qg = 140 nC (lower), TO220AB package, no avalanche rating | Limited to non-inductive or low-energy applications; lacks dv/dt and avalanche ruggedness | Acceptable only in cost-sensitive, low-reliability consumer applications where transient protection is externally implemented. |
Compared with IPB180N04S4-02 and IRFB4115PBF, SPB160N04S2-03 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and full ruggedness features-making it preferred for automotive and industrial inverters where reliability under transient stress is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100 °C case temperature?
At TC = 100 °C, the SPB160N04S2-03 supports 100 A continuous drain current, as confirmed by the ID vs. TC derating curve on Page 4 of the datasheet. This reflects thermal limitation due to reduced heat transfer at elevated case temperatures, not electrical degradation.
Does this MOSFET require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No. The SPB160N04S2-03 has a gate threshold voltage range of 2.1–4.0 V and is fully enhanced at VGS = 0 V. A gate drive of 0 V to 10 V is sufficient; applying negative voltage is unnecessary and may exceed the ±20 V VGS rating if referenced improperly.
Can the body diode be used for synchronous rectification in a buck converter?
Yes. The integrated body diode supports 160 A continuous forward current and exhibits Qrr = 125 nC and trr = 75 ns, enabling use in synchronous buck topologies up to 300 kHz. However, its VSD = 0.9–1.3 V is higher than Schottky alternatives, so efficiency gain depends on duty cycle and load current.
Is SPB160N04S2-03 compliant with AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
No. While the device operates up to 175 °C and is used in automotive DC-DC converters, it is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Infineon offers AEC-Q101 variants such as the SPB160N04S2H5, which shares identical electrical specs but includes extended reliability testing and automotive-grade traceability.
