Product details
Overview
IRF9540NSPBF from Infineon Technologies is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-262) package, rated for -100 V V(BR)DSS, 14 A continuous drain current at 25°C, and 117 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V. It features 150°C maximum junction temperature, fast switching (tr = 64 ns, tf = 45 ns), and rated repetitive avalanche energy of 84 mJ - enabling robust operation in DC-DC synchronous rectification and high-side load switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRF9540NSPBF datasheet, IRF9540NSPBF pinout, IRF9540NSPBF application, or IRF9540NSPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its negative gate threshold (-2.0 to -4.0 V), low gate charge (73 nC typ.), body diode forward voltage (-1.6 V), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.1 °C/W), critical for thermal design in high-current industrial power supplies.
Technical Context
This device operates as a high-voltage, medium-current P-channel switch with integrated body diode, optimized for high-side configuration where gate drive is referenced to the source. Its -100 V breakdown voltage and 150°C operating temperature support use in automotive battery disconnect and industrial 48 V bus systems.
The MOSFET exhibits 1450 pF input capacitance (Ciss) and 230 pF reverse transfer capacitance (Crss), indicating moderate Miller effect; total gate charge of 73 nC (typ.) enables efficient drive with standard gate drivers like IR2110 or UCC27531 in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | -100 V - Withstands up to 100 V drain-source reverse bias before avalanche conduction begins. |
| RDS(on) | 117 mΩ max @ VGS = -10 V, TJ = 25°C - Enables <1.6 W conduction loss at 14 A, critical for thermal margin in enclosed enclosures. |
| ID (TC=25°C) | -14 A - Continuous drain current rating under heatsink-mounted conditions at 25°C case temperature. |
| Qg | 73 nC typ. - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching transition time in PWM circuits. |
| RθJC | 1.1 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance allows accurate heatsink sizing when mounted with thermal interface material. |
| VSD | -1.6 V max @ IS = -14 A - Forward voltage drop of integrated body diode affects efficiency in freewheeling paths. |
| EAS | 300 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating supports transient overvoltage tolerance without failure. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D2PAK (TO-262), surface-mount with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. Standard 3-pin layout: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Control terminal; requires negative voltage relative to source to turn on; threshold range -2.0 to -4.0 V. |
| D | Drain | Main high-side current path; electrically and thermally connected to exposed copper pad on bottom of package. |
| S | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return; tied to positive rail in high-side switch configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 150°C maximum junction temperature | Enables reliable operation in sealed industrial enclosures and under sustained overload without derating. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated (84 mJ) | Allows safe operation during inductive load turn-off transients without external snubbers in motor drives. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) (117 mΩ) | Reduces conduction losses by >30% vs. legacy P-channel MOSFETs like IRF9530, improving system efficiency. |
| Fast switching (tr = 64 ns, tf = 45 ns) | Minimizes switching losses in 100–500 kHz DC-DC converters, supporting higher frequency designs. |
Applications
| High-Side Load Switch | DC-DC Synchronous Rectifier |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9540NLPBF | Same die, TO-262 package but lead-free variant with identical RDS(on), V(BR)DSS, and Qg; differs only in assembly site code and date marking. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in PCB layouts designed for TO-262 footprint. | Select when sourcing from alternate distribution channels where LPBF suffix is stocked; no redesign required. |
| STP12PF06 | Higher RDS(on) (220 mΩ), lower ID (-12 A), same -100 V rating; uses TO-220FP package with insulated tab. | Limited to lower-current (<10 A) applications; lacks repetitive avalanche rating and has higher thermal resistance (RθJC = 3.5 °C/W). | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-avalanche-critical designs where thermal budget permits higher conduction loss. |
Compared with IRF9540NSPBF, IRF9540NLPBF offers identical performance in a functionally equivalent package, while STP12PF06 trades off conduction efficiency and ruggedness for lower cost and through-hole assembly compatibility.

FAQ
Is IRF9540NSPBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the "PbF" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free and RoHS-compliant construction per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin plating on leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
Can IRF9540NSPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, its negative temperature coefficient of RDS(on) supports current sharing when paralleled. However, gate drive must be matched within ±5% impedance and layout symmetry maintained to avoid dynamic imbalance; external gate resistors ≥10 Ω recommended per device.
What is the maximum safe operating area (SOA) limit at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the SOA is limited to 6.5 A at 50 V (10 ms pulse) and 3.2 A at 100 V (100 µs pulse), per Fig. 12 in the official Infineon datasheet. Derating follows linear RDS(on) increase above 25°C, reaching ~1.8× nominal resistance at 150°C.
Does the body diode support continuous conduction mode (CCM) in synchronous rectifiers?
Yes - the body diode is rated for -23 A continuous source current and -92 A pulsed, with trr = 140–210 ns and Qrr = 890–1340 nC. For CCM operation, ensure gate drive timing avoids cross-conduction and accounts for Qrr-induced voltage overshoot during turn-on.
