Product details
Overview
IRF6217TRPBF from Infineon Technologies (acquired International Rectifier) is a P-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, rated for -150 V VBRDSS, 2.4 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V and ID = -0.42 A, with -0.7 A continuous drain current at 25°C. It serves as a reset switch in active-clamp forward DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRF6217TRPBF datasheet, IRF6217TRPBF pinout, IRF6217TRPBF application, or IRF6217TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its negative threshold voltage (-3.0 to -5.0 V), low gate charge (6.0–9.0 nC total), avalanche-rated operation (15 mJ EAS), and SO-8 thermal performance (RθJA = 50 °C/W).
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-side synchronous rectifier or active-clamp reset switch in isolated DC-DC topologies. Its P-channel architecture enables simple gate drive with referenced-to-drain configuration, and its fully characterized Coss (15–150 pF, voltage-dependent) and Crss (10 pF) support accurate snubberless design in resonant and quasi-resonant converters.
The MOSFET features robust unclamped inductive switching capability (IAR = -1.4 A, EAS = 15 mJ), body diode with VSD = -1.6 V at IS = -0.42 A, and specified dv/dt immunity of 4.5 V/ns - critical for noise-immune operation in high-frequency SMPS designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBRDSS | -150 V - Withstands up to -150 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset. |
| RDS(on) | 2.4 Ω @ VGS = -10 V, ID = -0.42 A - Defines conduction loss in active-clamp reset path. |
| Qg | 6.0–9.0 nC - Total gate charge determines drive strength requirement and switching speed trade-off. |
| EAS | 15 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating enables reliable operation during transient overvoltage events. |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard PCB; limits power dissipation to ~2.5 W at TA = 25°C. |
| VGS(th) | -3.0 to -5.0 V - Gate threshold range ensures predictable turn-on with negative bias and avoids false triggering. |
| Coss eff. | 45 pF - Effective output capacitance across full VDS swing (0 to -120 V), used for soft-switching timing calculations. |
Pinout & Package
IRF6217TRPBF is housed in a surface-mount SO-8 (JEDEC MS-012AA) package with exposed drain pads (pins 1–3, 5–7 connected internally to drain). The package supports hand-soldering (300°C for 10 s) and automated reflow, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and 5.0 × 4.0 mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 | Drain (D) | High-current output node; electrically tied together and thermally connected to exposed pad for heat dissipation. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Control input; requires negative voltage relative to source to turn on (VGS < VGS(th)). |
| 8 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path; body diode anode is internally connected here. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qg/Qgd ratio | Qgd = 2.8–4.2 nC / Qg ≈ 47% - Reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves controllability in high-dv/dt environments. |
| Fully characterized Coss | Coss = 15 pF @ VDS = -120 V; 150 pF @ VDS = -1.0 V - Enables precise zero-voltage switching (ZVS) timing in resonant converters. |
| Avalanche-rated | EAS = 15 mJ, IAR = -1.4 A - Allows safe operation under unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating per JEDEC J-STD-020 - Meets environmental compliance for consumer-grade power supplies. |
Applications
| Active-Clamp Forward Converter | Isolated Flyback Reset Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Used in the clamp leg of an active-clamp forward converter operating at 200–500 kHz to recycle transformer leakage energy and limit voltage stress on primary switch. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel MOSFET configured as synchronous reset switch; turns on during transformer reset phase to clamp VDS and recover energy. Use Value: Enables >90% efficiency by eliminating passive RCD clamp losses and reducing primary-side voltage stress from 2×Vin to ~1.3×Vin. | Use Scenario: Replaces diode-based clamp in high-efficiency flyback converters where secondary-side regulation demands tight Vout tolerance and low standby loss. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as controlled clamp switch synchronized to primary MOSFET off-time; conducts only during energy transfer phase. Use Value: Reduces clamp loss by >60% vs. Zener-diode clamp and eliminates reverse recovery noise in multi-output flybacks. |
| High-Voltage Synchronous Rectifier | Industrial DC-DC Bias Supply |
Use Scenario: Implements high-side synchronous rectification in 48 V–150 V input isolated DC-DC modules for telecom and server PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel MOSFET placed on secondary side with gate driven by isolated transformer or capacitive coupling; replaces Schottky diode. Use Value: Lowers conduction loss by 40% at 0.5 A load versus 100 V Schottky, improving light-load efficiency and thermal margin. | Use Scenario: Powers auxiliary rails (e.g., +12 V, -5 V) in industrial PLCs and motor drives requiring stable bias under wide ambient temperature (-40°C to +125°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as main switching element in discrete buck-derived bias supply with integrated controller feedback. Use Value: Maintains regulation stability across -55°C to +150°C junction range and withstands 4.5 V/ns dv/dt transients common in noisy factory environments. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF6215PbF | VBRDSS = -150 V, RDS(on) = 3.0 Ω @ -10 V - higher on-resistance, lower Qg (5.5 nC) | Lower conduction loss sensitivity but reduced switching speed; better for lower-frequency (<100 kHz) clamp circuits | Select when thermal budget allows higher RDS(on) and gate drive is limited. |
| STP15PF12 | VBRDSS = -120 V, RDS(on) = 2.2 Ω @ -10 V - lower voltage rating, tighter threshold (-2.5 to -4.5 V) | Not suitable for 150 V bus designs; requires revised clamp voltage design and derated avalanche margin | Choose only if system max VDS ≤ 120 V and tighter VGS(th) tolerance is needed for gate driver compatibility. |
Compared with IRF6215PbF and STP15PF12, IRF6217TRPBF offers the optimal balance of 150 V blocking, 2.4 Ω RDS(on), and 6–9 nC Qg for 200–500 kHz active-clamp topologies - enabling higher efficiency and smaller magnetics than either alternative.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF6217TRPBF at 70°C ambient?
The maximum continuous drain current is -0.5 A at TA = 70°C with VGS = -10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the SO-8 package on standard FR-4 PCBs without heatsinking.
Can IRF6217TRPBF be used in linear mode (as a pass transistor)?
No - it is not characterized or rated for linear (ohmic) operation. The Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve in Figure 8 shows pulse-limited operation only, and no DC SOA is provided. Use only in switching mode with proper avalanche and thermal margining.
Does IRF6217TRPBF have a built-in ESD protection diode on the gate?
No - the datasheet does not specify gate ESD protection. The gate oxide is rated for ±20 V VGS, and external gate protection (e.g., Zener clamp to source) is recommended in systems with handling or layout-induced ESD risk.
What is the typical reverse recovery time of the body diode?
The body diode reverse recovery time (trr) is 51–77 ns at TJ = 25°C, IF = -0.42 A, and di/dt = -100 A/µs. This fast recovery supports high-frequency synchronous rectification without significant commutation loss.
