Product details
Overview
SPI21N10 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode SIPMOS™ power MOSFET in PG-TO262-3-1 package, rated for 100 V VDS, 21 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 80 mΩ RDS(on) max at VGS = 10 V. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature, features avalanche rating (EAS = 130 mJ), and is RoHS-compliant - used in industrial motor drives and DC-DC converter primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the SPI21N10 datasheet, SPI21N10 pinout, SPI21N10 application, or SPI21N10 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V breakdown voltage, 65–80 mΩ on-resistance range, 1.7 K/W thermal resistance (junction-to-case), gate charge profile (Qg = 28.9–38.4 nC), and reverse diode forward voltage (VSD = 0.94–1.25 V at IF = 21 A).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar SIPMOS™ process optimized for high-voltage ruggedness and fast switching with controlled dv/dt (6 kV/µs). Its gate threshold voltage (2.1–4.0 V) enables reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers, while the low output capacitance (Coss = 140–186 pF) supports efficient hard-switching operation in SMPS topologies.
The integrated body diode exhibits fast recovery (trr = 65–81.5 ns, Qrr = 153–192 nC) and low forward drop, making it suitable for synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths where reverse conduction occurs. Thermal design is supported by validated RthJC = 1.7 K/W and derating curves for Ptot and ID versus case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS max | 100 V - supports 48 V and 72 V bus systems with 2× safety margin |
| RDS(on) max | 80 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, Tj = 25 °C - determines conduction loss in high-current switching paths |
| ID continuous | 21 A at TC = 25 °C - defines maximum steady-state load current with heatsink |
| EAS | 130 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - enables robustness against inductive switching transients |
| Qg | 28.9–38.4 nC - sets gate drive power requirement and switching speed trade-off |
| trr | 65–81.5 ns - limits reverse recovery losses and EMI in hard-switched converters |
| RthJC | 1.7 K/W - enables thermal modeling from junction to heatsink interface |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO262-3-1 (surface-mount variant of TO-262, 3-pin, isolated tab, lead-free, RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal | Low-side reference node; connects to PCB ground plane or source return path |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOSFET control node requiring <100 nA leakage and stable 10 V drive |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Power output | High-voltage switching node; electrically connected to exposed metal tab for thermal conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Avalanche-rated operation | 130 mJ single-pulse energy withstand without failure - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive loads |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 6 kV/µs - prevents false turn-on during high-slew-rate voltage transients in motor drives |
| High-temperature capability | 175 °C maximum junction temperature - enables compact thermal design in sealed enclosures |
| Low gate charge | Qg ≤ 38.4 nC - reduces driver IC power dissipation and enables >100 kHz switching in SMPS |
| Fast body diode | trr ≤ 81.5 ns, Qrr ≤ 192 nC - minimizes reverse recovery loss in non-synchronous buck or flyback converters |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF540NPBF | 100 V VDS, 33 A ID, 44 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package, no avalanche rating | Higher current but larger footprint and no guaranteed avalanche energy | Prefer when lower conduction loss is critical and layout allows TO-220; avoid in unclamped inductive loads |
| STP22NF10 | 100 V VDS, 22 A ID, 60 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package, 100 mJ EAS | Slightly lower avalanche energy and higher RDS(on); same thermal resistance class | Acceptable for cost-sensitive designs where 130 mJ margin is not required; verify gate drive compatibility |
Compared with IRF540NPBF and STP22NF10, SPI21N10 offers superior avalanche ruggedness (130 mJ vs. none or 100 mJ) and surface-mount PG-TO262 packaging for automated assembly, while maintaining competitive RDS(on) and thermal performance - ideal for space-constrained industrial inverters.

FAQ
What is the maximum gate-source voltage rating for SPI21N10?
The absolute maximum gate-source voltage is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. Recommended gate drive is 10 V for full enhancement, with 0 V to ensure reliable turn-off. Gate drive circuits must limit transient overshoot using clamping diodes or RC snubbers.
Does SPI21N10 have an integrated body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, SPI21N10 includes a monolithic body diode rated for 21 A continuous forward current at TC = 25 °C. Key parameters include VSD = 0.94–1.25 V at IF = 21 A, trr = 65–81.5 ns, and Qrr = 153–192 nC - enabling use in freewheeling and non-synchronous rectification without external diodes.
Can SPI21N10 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, SPI21N10 supports paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on), which promotes current sharing. Successful implementation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and thermal coupling via shared heatsink. Derate total current by 15% for 2-device parallel operation.
Is SPI21N10 suitable for automotive applications per AEC-Q101?
No - SPI21N10 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates up to 175 °C and meets RoHS, it lacks automotive-specific qualification testing (e.g., HTGB, HTRB, ESD). For automotive use, consider Infineon's AEC-Q101-qualified variants such as IPD22N10N3G or IPA22N10N3G.
