Product details
Overview
IRF644NSPBF from Vishay Siliconix is a 250 V, 14 A N-channel power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, with RDS(on) = 0.240 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 54 nC, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature. It delivers high-current switching in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRF644NSPBF datasheet, IRF644NSPBF pinout, IRF644NSPBF application, or IRF644NSPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (EAS = 180 mJ), dV/dt capability (7.9 V/ns), body diode recovery time (trr = 165–250 ns), and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
Technical Context
This fifth-generation Power MOSFET uses advanced silicon processing to minimize on-resistance per die area while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching performance. Its fully avalanche-rated design supports repetitive EAR = 15 mJ and single-pulse EAS = 180 mJ under defined test conditions.
The device features low gate charge (Qg = 54 nC, Qgd = 26 nC) and fast switching (td(on) = 10 ns, tf = 17 ns), enabling high-frequency operation in hard-switched topologies. Internal source/drain inductance (LS = 7.5 nH, LD = 4.5 nH) is specified for layout-aware design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 250 V - supports 200 V bus designs with 25 % voltage margin |
| RDS(on) | 0.240 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables ≤3.4 W conduction loss at 12 A |
| ID (continuous) | 14 A @ TC = 25 °C - requires heatsinking above ~60 °C case temperature |
| Qg | 54 nC - determines gate drive power and switching speed in 100–500 kHz applications |
| EAS | 180 mJ - allows safe operation during unclamped inductive turn-off events |
| trr | 165–250 ns - impacts snubber sizing and cross-conduction risk in bridge circuits |
| TJ(max) | 175 °C - enables high-temperature industrial environments without derating penalty |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) package: surface-mount, isolated drain tab, 3-pin configuration with exposed metal pad for thermal and electrical connection to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| S (Source) | Power return / reference | Common node for gate drive return and load current return; internal source inductance = 7.5 nH |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Applications
| Motor Drive Inverter | DC-DC Boost Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 3-phase BLDC motor control in HVAC blowers and industrial pumps operating at 48–100 V DC bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side N-channel switch in 6-pack inverter stage; commutated at 10–20 kHz with dead-time control. Use Value: Low RDS(on) minimizes I²R losses at 12 A peak; fast tf = 17 ns reduces switching transition overlap loss. | Use Scenario: Isolated telecom power supply boosting 48 V input to 380 V intermediate bus for downstream AC/DC conversion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side switching element in hard-switched boost PFC stage operating at 100 kHz. Use Value: Avalanche rating absorbs leakage inductance energy; 250 V VDS provides headroom over 380 V bus transients. |
| Industrial UPS Output Stage | AC Solid-State Relay |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional output H-bridge in 1 kVA online UPS delivering clean 230 V AC sine wave under battery backup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier and inverter switch; operated in 50 Hz line-frequency PWM with zero-voltage switching assist. Use Value: Body diode trr = 165–250 ns enables reliable freewheeling; 14 A continuous rating sustains overload conditions. | Use Scenario: Zero-crossing AC switching module replacing electromechanical relays in PLC I/O modules and building automation panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch controlling 120/230 V AC loads up to 10 A resistive; driven by optocoupled gate driver. Use Value: 175 °C TJ(max) supports sealed enclosure operation; dV/dt immunity prevents spurious turn-on from AC line noise. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM50FP | 500 V VDS, higher RDS(on) = 0.27 Ω, TO-220FP package, lower Qg = 45 nC | Better voltage margin but higher conduction loss; through-hole mounting only | Choose when 500 V rating is mandatory and surface-mount is not required |
| IXTP12N25P | 250 V VDS, RDS(on) = 0.28 Ω, TO-220 package, EAS = 120 mJ, no dV/dt rating specified | Lower avalanche energy and missing dynamic dV/dt spec reduce robustness in noisy inductive loads | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-critical linear or low-dI/dt switching where layout controls noise |
Compared with STP20NM50FP and IXTP12N25P, the IRF644NSPBF offers superior combination of 250 V rating, low RDS(on), high EAS, and verified dV/dt immunity-making it preferred for surface-mount, high-reliability industrial switching where thermal and electrical stress coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF644NSPBF at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF644NSPBF supports 9.9 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the D2PAK package and must be validated with actual board-level thermal resistance (RthJA ≤ 40 °C/W for PCB mount). Designers should verify junction temperature using measured case temperature and RthJC = 1.0 °C/W.
Does IRF644NSPBF have a specified body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr)?
Yes, the IRF644NSPBF has a specified body diode reverse recovery charge of Qrr = 1.0–1.6 µC at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 14 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/µs. This parameter directly affects switching loss and EMI in synchronous rectification and bridge configurations, and is documented in the "Drain-Source Body Diode Characteristics" section of the datasheet.
Is IRF644NSPBF pin-compatible with IRF644N or IRF644NL?
No, IRF644NSPBF is not pin-compatible with IRF644N (TO-220) or IRF644NL (I2PAK/TO-262). While all share identical die and electrical specs, IRF644NSPBF uses the D2PAK (TO-263) package with different mechanical footprint, thermal pad layout, and terminal spacing. PCB redesign is required when substituting between these variants.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRF644NSPBF?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for IRF644NSPBF is 2.0 V minimum to 4.0 V maximum at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 µA. This range confirms compatibility with standard 10 V gate drivers but indicates insufficient margin for direct 5 V logic-level drive without gate boosting or level-shifting circuitry.
Can IRF644NSPBF be used in avalanche mode for energy clamping?
Yes, IRF644NSPBF is fully avalanche rated with single-pulse EAS = 180 mJ and repetitive EAR = 15 mJ. Its avalanche capability is validated per JEDEC standards and intended for controlled energy absorption during unclamped inductive switching-enabling simplified snubberless design in flyback, boost, and motor drive circuits where precise energy calculation is performed.
