Product details
Overview
BUZ73AHXKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode SIPMOS power MOSFET rated for 200 V drain-source voltage, 5.5 A continuous drain current at TC = 37 °C, and 0.6 Ω maximum RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and ID = 4.5 A. It features avalanche-rated ruggedness (EAS = 120 mJ), integrated body diode with 1.3–1.7 V forward voltage, and TO-220-3 package for industrial motor control and DC-DC converter primary-side switching.
For engineers reviewing the BUZ73AHXKSA1 datasheet, BUZ73AHXKSA1 pinout, BUZ73AHXKSA1 application, or BUZ73AHXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V V(BR)DSS rating, 0.6 Ω RDS(on), 120 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, thermal resistance RthJC ≤ 3.1 K/W, and halogen-free PG-TO-220-3 packaging compliant with IEC61249-2-21.
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates in enhancement mode with a gate threshold voltage of 2.1–4.0 V and supports fast switching via low input capacitance (Ciss = 400–530 pF) and short turn-on/turn-off delays (td(on) ≤ 15 ns, td(off) ≤ 75 ns). Its transconductance gfs ranges from 3 to 4.2 S at ID = 4.5 A.
The integrated body diode enables freewheeling in inductive loads, with reverse recovery time trr ≤ 200 ns and Qrr ≤ 0.6 µC under specified conditions (VR = 100 V, IF = IS, diF/dt = 100 A/µs). Thermal performance is characterized by RthJC ≤ 3.1 K/W and safe operating area validated up to 100 V and 10 A for DC and pulsed conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS Rating | 200 V - supports 170 VAC rectified bus or 100 VDC systems with margin |
| ID (Cont) | 5.5 A at TC = 37 °C - defines heatsink sizing for continuous conduction mode |
| RDS(on) max | 0.6 Ω at VGS = 10 V, ID = 4.5 A - determines conduction loss (P = I²R) at rated load |
| EAS | 120 mJ - enables reliable operation under inductive switching stress without external snubbers |
| Ciss | 400–530 pF - impacts gate drive power and switching speed in hard-switched topologies |
| VGS(th) | 2.1–4.0 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level gate drivers |
| trr / Qrr | ≤200 ns / ≤0.6 µC - limits diode recovery losses and EMI in flyback and buck converters |
Pinout & Package
PG-TO-220-3 package with isolated tab (drain-connected), through-hole mounting, and Pb-free/halogen-free construction per IEC61249-2-21.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires ≥10 V drive for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD |
| Pin 2 | Drain (D) | Main high-side current path; electrically connected to metal tab; must be insulated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground |
| Pin 3 | Source (S) | Return path for load current; reference node for gate drive; ties to power ground in low-side configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Avalanche-rated operation | Guaranteed 120 mJ single-pulse EAS enables robustness against inductive kickback without derating |
| Low RDS(on) temperature coefficient | RDS(on) increases only ~1.9× from 25 °C to 150 °C - maintains predictable conduction loss across operating range |
| Fast switching with low Crss | Crss ≤ 70 pF minimizes Miller effect, enabling stable gate drive in high-frequency SMPS |
| Integrated body diode | Rated for 5.5 A continuous and 22 A pulsed forward current - eliminates need for external freewheeling diode in many topologies |
| Halogen-free construction | Complies with IEC61249-2-21 - meets RoHS and environmental compliance requirements for industrial end equipment |
Applications
| Motor Drive Stage | DC-DC Converter Primary |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-voltage BLDC motor phase switching in HVAC blowers and power tools. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: N-channel power switch in 3-phase inverter leg; driven by gate driver IC with 10 V logic level. Use Value: 0.6 Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <1.8 W at 5.5 A, while avalanche rating absorbs back-EMF during commutation. | Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 24 V input, 300 W isolated flyback converter for industrial PLC power supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hard-switched MOSFET operating at 65 kHz; handles 200 V reflected output voltage plus leakage spikes. Use Value: 120 mJ EAS withstands worst-case leakage energy without failure; Ciss/Coss values support efficient snubberless design. |
| Linear Regulator Pass Element | Overvoltage Protection Switch |
Use Scenario: High-current pass transistor in adjustable linear regulator for test equipment requiring low-noise 12 V @ 4 A output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Operated in linear region with active thermal management; gate biased to regulate VDS drop. Use Value: RthJC ≤ 3.1 K/W allows direct mounting to heatsink; SOA curve supports 10 A × 10 V = 100 W dissipation for short transients. | Use Scenario: Crowbar-style overvoltage protection in 48 V telecom power distribution unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Normally off; triggered into conduction when overvoltage sensed, shorting rail to ground to trip upstream fuse. Use Value: 200 V V(BR)DSS provides margin above 48 V nominal + 100 V surge; 22 A pulsed ID handles fault current until fuse clears. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM20 | 200 V, 20 A, RDS(on) = 0.12 Ω - lower on-resistance but higher gate charge (Qg = 35 nC vs. 28 nC) | Higher current handling; less suitable for thermally constrained layouts due to larger die size | Select when lower conduction loss dominates over switching loss and board space permits larger TO-220 footprint |
| IRF640NPBF | 200 V, 18 A, RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω - higher ID rating but no specified EAS rating in datasheet | Lacks guaranteed avalanche capability; requires external clamping for inductive loads | Prefer where cost sensitivity outweighs ruggedness requirements and circuit includes TVS or RCD snubbers |
Compared with STP20NM20 and IRF640NPBF, BUZ73AHXKSA1 offers superior avalanche ruggedness and tighter RDS(on) tolerance (0.5–0.6 Ω typ/max) at moderate current, making it optimal for compact, unclamped inductive switching where reliability trumps peak efficiency.

FAQ
Is BUZ73AHXKSA1 suitable for use in a 100 kHz flyback converter?
Yes - its 15 ns turn-on delay, 60 ns rise time, and 400–530 pF Ciss support efficient operation at 100 kHz. However, gate drive strength must exceed 1 A peak to charge 28 nC Qg within required timing; thermal design must account for increased switching loss at higher frequency.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature during avalanche testing?
The device is rated for Tj = 150 °C maximum continuous operation. Avalanche testing (EAS = 120 mJ) is specified at Tj = 25 °C, but the SOA curve confirms safe single-pulse operation up to Tj = 150 °C provided pulse duration remains ≤36 µs and duty cycle is negligible.
Does BUZ73AHXKSA1 require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a 10–47 Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by Crss and PCB inductance. The 70 pF Crss and low gate threshold make it susceptible to oscillation without proper gate control, especially in high-di/dt environments like motor drives.
Can the body diode be used for synchronous rectification?
No - the body diode has VSD = 1.3–1.7 V and trr ≤ 200 ns, resulting in high conduction and recovery losses. It is intended for freewheeling only; synchronous rectification requires a dedicated low-VF Schottky or MOSFET with optimized diode characteristics.
