Product details
Overview
IRF1607 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 75V, 142A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, featuring RDS(on) = 5.8 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and 1250 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - deployed as a main switch in high-current DC-DC converters and motor phase-legs.
For engineers reviewing the IRF1607 datasheet, IRF1607 pinout, IRF1607 application, or IRF1607 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low on-resistance at high current, validated repetitive avalanche capability up to Tjmax, fast switching (tr = 130 ns), and thermal robustness under sustained conduction in industrial motor drive inverters.
Technical Context
This planar stripe HEXFET uses advanced silicon processing to minimize RDS(on) per die area while maintaining ruggedness. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 210–320 nC) supports efficient hard-switching at 38 V bus voltage with 1.8 Ω gate resistance, and its body diode exhibits trr = 130–200 ns and Qrr = 690–1040 nC under 100 A/µs di/dt.
The device operates with VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V and gfs = 79 S, enabling reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers. Its dynamic dv/dt rating of 5.2 V/ns and Coss = 1230 pF @ 25 V ensure stable commutation in high-speed half-bridge configurations without spurious turn-on.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 75 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines usable DC bus range in 48 V systems. |
| RDS(on) | 5.8 mΩ (typ), 7.5 mΩ (max) @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 85 A - Directly determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ I² × R) at rated load. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 142 A - Continuous drain current limited by thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.40 °C/W) and case mounting. |
| EAS | 1250 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; enables unclamped inductive switching survival in motor drive fault conditions. |
| tr / tf | 130 ns / 86 ns - Rise/fall times measured at VDD = 38 V, ID = 85 A, RG = 1.8 Ω; sets minimum practical switching frequency. |
| Qg | 210–320 nC - Total gate charge determines driver power requirement and switching transition time. |
| TJ max | +175°C - Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high ambient environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard 3-lead through-hole mounting. Thermal pad requires mechanical clamping and thermal interface material for optimal heat transfer to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output terminal | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be insulated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits direct connection. |
| Source | Return path for drain current; reference for gate drive | Low-inductance source return critical for minimizing shoot-through risk in bridge topologies. |
| Gate | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring low-impedance driver (≤1.8 Ω) to achieve specified tr/tf. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 5.8 mΩ typ @ 10 V - Reduces conduction losses by >30% vs. legacy 75 V MOSFETs at 85 A. |
| 175°C junction rating | Enables full current delivery in ambient temperatures up to 85°C with proper heatsinking - no derating required below TC = 100°C. |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | Validated per Fig. 15–16 up to 10% duty cycle - allows safe operation during short-circuit events without external protection. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 130 ns, Qrr = 690 nC - Minimizes reverse recovery loss and EMI in synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive | DC-DC Converter (48 V Input) |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency (100 kHz) switching element managing 85 A pulsed drain current with minimal gate drive loss. Use Value: Qg = 210 nC enables use of cost-effective 2 A gate drivers instead of 4 A alternatives, reducing BOM count. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP140N75F7 | RDS(on) = 5.0 mΩ (lower), Qg = 190 nC (lower), but TJmax = 175°C same; no published EAS spec | Lacks documented avalanche rating - unsuitable where unclamped inductive switching is routine | Prefer when gate drive power is constrained and avalanche stress is absent. |
| IXTH120N075L2 | RDS(on) = 6.2 mΩ (higher), Qg = 260 nC (higher), but EAS = 1400 mJ (higher); TO-247 package | Higher thermal mass and RθJC = 0.35 °C/W - better for sustained 100 A loads but larger footprint | Prefer for higher-reliability 24/7 operation where board space allows TO-247. |
Compared with STP140N75F7 and IXTH120N075L2, the IRF1607 delivers the best balance of low RDS(on), proven avalanche robustness, and TO-220AB form factor - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial inverters requiring fault tolerance without package redesign.

FAQ
Is IRF1607 lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, the IRF1607PbF variant is lead-free and fully RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The "PbF" suffix indicates lead-free plating and packaging; all soldering parameters (300°C for 10 seconds) are validated for Pb-free reflow and hand-soldering processes.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for hard-switching at 20 kHz?
A 1.8 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for tr/tf measurements at 85 A. For 20 kHz hard-switching with 142 A peak current, use 1.5–2.2 Ω to balance switching loss, EMI, and gate driver thermal load - verified via Figure 10a/b test circuit waveforms.
Can IRF1607 replace IRF1404 in an existing design?
Yes, with caveats: IRF1607 offers lower RDS(on) (5.8 mΩ vs. 4.9 mΩ) and higher ID (142 A vs. 130 A), but requires verification of gate drive strength (Qg = 210 nC vs. 193 nC) and avalanche handling (EAS = 1250 mJ vs. 950 mJ). Layout parasitics must also be reviewed due to faster switching.
Does IRF1607 require a negative gate turn-off voltage?
No. The device specifies ±20 V absolute maximum VGS, but standard 0 V to +10 V or +12 V gate drive is sufficient. Negative turn-off is not required - its VGS(th) (2.0–4.0 V) ensures full enhancement at +10 V and stable cutoff at 0 V, even with Miller-induced coupling.
