Product details
Overview
IRF6215SPBF 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-voltage power switch in DC-DC converters and motor control H-bridge legs.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6215SPBF datasheet, IRF6215SPBF pinout, IRF6215SPBF application, or IRF6215SPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its negative gate threshold (–2.0 to –4.0 V), low gate charge (Qg = 60 nC), and suitability for synchronous rectification in isolated flyback topologies.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe cell technology with optimized doping profiles to achieve stable breakdown voltage and low on-resistance. Its body diode exhibits trr = 120 ns and Qrr = 120 nC, enabling efficient hard-switched operation without external snubbers in medium-frequency SMPS designs.
The device is characterized across –55°C to +175°C junction temperature range and supports pulsed drain current up to –60 A. Gate drive compatibility is confirmed for standard –5 V to –15 V logic-level control signals, with no need for level-shifting circuitry in high-side configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | –150 V - Withstands reverse-biased drain-source voltage in high-side switching applications without breakdown. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | –15 A - Continuous conduction capability at heatsink-mounted case temperature, defining minimum heatsink sizing. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = –10 V | ≤ 0.28 Ω - Limits conduction loss to ≤ 63 W at full current, critical for thermal management in 100 kHz+ converters. |
| Qg | 60 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching transition time in PWM-controlled inverters. |
| trr | 120 ns - Enables zero-voltage switching (ZVS) design margin in resonant LLC secondary-side rectification. |
| EAS | 390 mJ - Specifies single-pulse avalanche energy handling, supporting unclamped inductive load switching in motor drives. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-263 (D2PAK), surface-mount, copper-tab drain-connected, thermally enhanced plastic housing with exposed drain pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Tab / Pin 2 | Drain (D) | Internally connected to metal tab; requires direct thermal interface to PCB copper pour or heatsink for RθJA ≤ 40°C/W. |
| Pin 1 | Gate (G) | High-impedance MOS control terminal; driven by –10 V to –15 V for full enhancement, with 1.5 kΩ series resistor recommended. |
| Pin 3 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; tied to system ground or floating bus in high-side configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% Avalanche Tested | Guarantees robustness against inductive kickback in relay drivers and solenoid controls without external clamping. |
| Low Gate Charge (Qg) | Reduces driver IC power dissipation and enables use of low-cost SOT-23 gate drivers in space-constrained modules. |
| Enhanced Body Diode Recovery | Minimizes reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectifier mode, improving efficiency by ≥1.2% at 200 kHz in 48 V output supplies. |
| Lead-Free & RoHS Compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3), allowing standard reflow without baking preconditioning. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive | Telecom DC-DC Converter |

Use Value: Maintains ±1.5% current regulation across –40°C to +85°C ambient due to stable RDS(on) temperature coefficient. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP15PF15 | VDS = –150 V, RDS(on) = 0.32 Ω, Qg = 65 nC - higher conduction loss and slower switching. | Requires larger heatsink in 15 A continuous duty; less suitable for >150 kHz operation. | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and thermal budget allows. |
| IXTP15N15P | VDS = –150 V, RDS(on) = 0.25 Ω, Qg = 52 nC - lower on-resistance but non-RoHS, legacy leaded packaging. | Not compliant with modern environmental regulations; unsuitable for new automotive or medical designs. | Select only for legacy repair or where Pb-free mandate does not apply. |
Compared with STP15PF15 and IXTP15N15P, the IRF6215SPBF delivers optimal balance of RoHS compliance, low Qg, and rugged avalanche rating-making it preferred for new industrial and telecom power supply designs requiring long-term component availability and regulatory alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for IRF6215SPBF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +175°C, validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108. Derating begins at TJ > 150°C, where continuous ID must be reduced linearly to zero at 175°C. Thermal design must ensure RθJC + RθCA ≤ 2.5°C/W for full 15 A rating at ambient 50°C.
Does IRF6215SPBF require a gate resistor in typical switching applications?
Yes-a 10 Ω to 33 Ω gate resistor is recommended between driver output and gate pin to damp parasitic oscillation and limit peak gate current during fast transitions. This prevents unintended turn-on due to dv/dt coupling and ensures reliable 100 kHz+ operation without shoot-through risk.
Can IRF6215SPBF be used in parallel with identical units for higher current handling?
Yes, but only with matched gate drive routing, symmetrical PCB layout, and individual source resistors (0.01 Ω) for current balancing. Parallel operation increases total Qg and demands proportional gate driver strength; thermal coupling between devices must be minimized to avoid thermal runaway above 125°C.
Is the body diode of IRF6215SPBF suitable for freewheeling in buck converter outputs?
No-the body diode's 120 ns trr and 120 nC Qrr cause significant reverse recovery loss at >100 kHz. For buck output stage freewheeling, an external Schottky diode (e.g., STPS30H100CG) is required to maintain efficiency and prevent cross-conduction during synchronous rectification.
