Product details
Overview
IRF6215S from Infineon Technologies is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-263 (D2PAK) package, rated for -150 V VDS, -15 A ID (TC = 25°C), RDS(on) ≤ 0.28 Ω at VGS = -10 V, and featuring 100% avalanche-rated ruggedness. It serves as a high-side load switch in industrial DC power distribution systems.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6215S datasheet, IRF6215S pinout, IRF6215S application, or IRF6215S equivalent, key selection criteria include its negative gate threshold (–2.0 to –4.0 V), low gate charge (Qg = 55 nC), and suitability for hard-switched 48 V bus protection circuits.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-free gate structure to achieve stable RDS(on) over temperature and robust short-circuit withstand time (tSC = 10 µs at VDD = 75 V, TJ = 25°C). Its body diode exhibits Qrr = 190 nC and trr = 120 ns under IF = –15 A, VDD = –75 V conditions.
The device operates with gate drive compatible with standard logic-level controllers (–5 V to –20 V VGS range), supports pulsed drain current up to –60 A, and maintains SOA compliance across linear mode operation up to TJ = 175°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | –150 V: Maximum blocking voltage in high-side switch configuration for 48–72 V DC systems. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | –15 A: Continuous drain current rating at heatsink-mounted condition; derates to –9.5 A at TC = 100°C. |
| RDS(on) (VGS = –10 V) | ≤ 0.28 Ω: On-resistance enabling <1.5 W conduction loss at –10 A, critical for thermal management in enclosed enclosures. |
| Qg | 55 nC: Total gate charge determining switching energy and driver strength requirement for 100 kHz PWM operation. |
| tSC | 10 µs: Short-circuit withstand time at VDD = 75 V, defining safe operating window during fault events. |
| SOA (TJ = 25°C) | DC, single-pulse, and repetitive pulse limits defined per JEDEC JESD24-1; enables reliable linear-mode operation in hot-swap controllers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-263 (D2PAK), surface-mount, isolated tab (drain-connected), 3-pin configuration with Gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control input | Receives negative gate drive signal; requires ≥10 V |VGS| for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (HBM 2 kV). |
| 2 (Drain) | High-side power path | Connected to PCB copper pour for heat dissipation; electrically tied to exposed metal tab; must be isolated from heatsink unless using insulating pad. |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node | Serves as return path for load current; defines gate drive reference; routed to system ground or floating rail depending on topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% Avalanche Tested | Guarantees single-pulse energy handling (EAS = 320 mJ) without parameter shift-critical for inductive load switching. |
| Logic-Level Gate Drive | Operates fully enhanced with –5 V VGS, enabling direct interface with microcontroller GPIO or optocoupler outputs. |
| Low Qgd/Qg Ratio | 0.22 ratio minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations with asymmetric gate drivers. |
| Enhanced dV/dt Rating | Rated for 4.5 V/ns (VDD = –75 V, TJ = 125°C), supporting noise-immune operation in high-di/dt motor control environments. |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone load switch managed by UART-commanded MCU firmware with configurable soft-start timing. Use Value: Achieves <50 µs turn-on delay and <100 ns rise time, meeting MIL-STD-704F transient response requirements for avionics subsystems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel high-voltage MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP15PF15 | VDS = –150 V, RDS(on) = 0.32 Ω @ –10 V, Qg = 62 nC | Higher conduction loss and slower switching; suitable only for <50 kHz operation | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and thermal margin is >25°C. |
| IXTP15N15P | VDS = –150 V, RDS(on) = 0.25 Ω @ –10 V, Qg = 48 nC, TO-220 package | Lower RDS(on) but through-hole mounting; lacks D2PAK thermal performance at high ambient | Select when board space allows through-hole layout and heatsink attachment is mechanically constrained. |
Compared with STP15PF15 and IXTP15N15P, the IRF6215S offers optimal balance of surface-mount thermal efficiency, gate drive compatibility, and ruggedness for automated assembly in industrial power modules requiring >100,000-cycle reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-source voltage for IRF6215S?
The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V. Operation beyond –20 V risks irreversible gate oxide breakdown. For reliable long-term use, gate drive should be clamped to –12 V maximum with a Zener diode or active limiter, especially in systems with inductive gate traces or shared ground bounce.
Does IRF6215S require a gate resistor, and if so, what value is recommended?
A series gate resistor between 10 Ω and 47 Ω is required to dampen ringing and limit peak gate current during switching. A 22 Ω resistor provides optimal trade-off: it suppresses oscillation at 100 kHz PWM while keeping turn-on delay below 50 ns when driven by a 1 A peak gate driver.
Can IRF6215S be used in parallel configurations for higher current handling?
Yes, but only with matched devices and individual source resistors (0.05–0.1 Ω) to ensure current sharing. Thermal coupling between paralleled D2PAK packages must be minimized via separate thermal pads and independent airflow paths to avoid thermal runaway above 85°C ambient.
Is IRF6215S compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes-the "P" suffix in IRF6215S denotes lead-free construction per EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and fully complies with REACH SVHC thresholds. Certificate of Compliance (CoC) and material declarations are available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
