Product details
Overview
SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel TrenchFET® power MOSFET rated for 40 V VDS, 100 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 3.6 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It features AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and TO-252 (DPAK) package with drain-connected tab-designed for high-current DC motor control in electric power steering (EPS) systems.
For engineers reviewing the SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 datasheet, SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 pinout, SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 application, or SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at elevated temperature, robust UIS capability (62 A single-pulse avalanche current), and validated thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.1 °C/W) for thermally constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in 12 V/24 V automotive subsystems. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 70–105 nC, Qgd = 13 nC) supports efficient PWM operation up to 100 kHz while maintaining low Eoff due to controlled dV/dt characteristics.
The device integrates a robust body diode with VSD = 0.9–1.5 V at IF = 30 A and ISM = 400 A pulsed source current capability-enabling freewheeling and regenerative braking functions without external diodes in H-bridge motor drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 24 V nominal automotive battery systems including load dump transients. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 3.6 mΩ - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A, critical for thermal management in EPS and HVAC blower modules. |
| ID (continuous) | 100 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports high-torque motor phases without parallel devices in compact DPAK footprint. |
| EAS | 192 mJ - Withstands inductive energy from 0.1 mH loads at 62 A, ensuring reliability during fault conditions like short-circuit turn-off. |
| RthJC | 1.1 °C/W - Allows direct heatsinking via drain-tab mounting, enabling >100 W power dissipation with minimal ΔT between junction and heatsink. |
| Qg | 70–105 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement; enables use of low-cost integrated drivers (e.g., DRV8305) without external boost stages. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Meets under-hood temperature requirements per AEC-Q101, supporting placement near engine compartments or inverters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 40 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N4F7AG | RDS(on) = 3.7 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-263 package; 175 °C rating; no AEC-Q101 documentation publicly available. | Same RDS(on) and voltage class but larger D2PAK footprint increases PCB area by 35 %; lacks formal automotive qualification evidence. | Select when board space permits larger package and AEC-Q101 compliance is not contractually required. |
| IRL1404ZPBF | RDS(on) = 4.0 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-220AB package; 175 °C rating; AEC-Q101 qualified per Infineon documentation. | Through-hole mounting requires wave soldering or manual assembly; higher RthJA (62 °C/W) limits power handling in compact enclosures. | Select only for legacy through-hole designs where rework to SMT is not feasible; avoid in new automotive SMT platforms. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 supports 76 A continuous drain current at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects increased RDS(on) (up to 6.3 mΩ at 125 °C and 7.6 mΩ at 175 °C), requiring careful thermal design to maintain safe junction temperature in high-ambient environments.
Is SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 suitable for synchronous rectification in automotive DC-DC converters?
Yes, SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 is well-suited for synchronous rectification due to its low RDS(on) (3.6 mΩ), fast switching (tr = 5–8 ns), and robust body diode (VSD = 0.9–1.5 V). Its 175 °C rating and AEC-Q101 qualification make it appropriate for high-efficiency 400 V/12 V bi-directional converters in onboard chargers.
Does SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 have a documented avalanche rating?
Yes, SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 has a specified single-pulse avalanche rating: IAS = 62 A (L = 0.1 mH) and EAS = 192 mJ. This is validated per JEDEC JESD24-11 and supports reliable operation during inductive switching faults in motor drive applications.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 is 2.5 V minimum to 3.5 V maximum at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level gate drivers while maintaining noise immunity in noisy automotive environments.
How does the thermal resistance of SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 compare between junction-to-case and junction-to-ambient?
SQD100N04_3M6T4GE3 has RthJC = 1.1 °C/W (junction-to-case, drain tab) and RthJA = 50 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, 1"×1" FR-4 PCB). The 45× difference highlights the necessity of proper heatsinking: effective thermal performance depends almost entirely on the quality of the drain-tab interface to an external heatsink or copper plane.
