Product details
Overview
IRF9Z24S from Vishay Siliconix is a P-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, rated for -60 V drain-source voltage, 0.28 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -11 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C. It serves as a high-efficiency high-side switch in DC-DC converters, motor control H-bridges, and load switching circuits operating up to 175 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the IRF9Z24S datasheet, IRF9Z24S pinout, IRF9Z24S application, or IRF9Z24S equivalent, key selection criteria include its fully avalanche-rated capability (240 mJ single-pulse), fast switching performance (13 ns turn-on delay, 68 ns rise time), low gate charge (19 nC total), and compatibility with surface-mount thermal management on FR-4 PCBs.
Technical Context
This device employs third-generation silicon processing to achieve low on-resistance per die area while maintaining ruggedness against repetitive avalanche stress. Its P-channel topology enables simple high-side switching without level-shifting gate drivers in low-voltage systems.
Thermal design leverages the D2PAK's low RthJC of 2.5 °C/W and supports 60 W power dissipation at TC = 25 °C. The integral body diode exhibits 100–200 ns reverse recovery time and 320–640 nC Qrr, making it suitable for synchronous rectification and inductive load commutation where controlled diode conduction is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -60 V - Maximum blocking voltage for high-side switch in ≤60 V bus systems |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = -10 V | 0.28 Ω - Enables ≤0.4 W conduction loss at -6.6 A, critical for thermal budget in compact layouts |
| Qg (total) | 19 nC - Determines gate driver current requirement and switching loss in PWM applications |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | -11 A - Sustains steady-state load current with adequate heatsinking on standard PCB |
| EAS (single-pulse) | 240 mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive energy during fault events without failure |
| TJ range | -55 to +175 °C - Supports operation in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments |
| dV/dt rating | -4.5 V/ns - Resists false triggering from high dv/dt noise in switching nodes |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection; 3-pin configuration (G, D, S) oriented per JEDEC outline; requires minimum 0.420" × 0.355" copper pad per Vishay recommended layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control input | Receives negative VGS to turn on; 5.4 nC Qgs defines Miller plateau duration |
| Drain (D) | High-side switched output | Connected to exposed metal tab; electrically and thermally coupled to PCB ground plane |
| Source (S) | Power return reference | Provides common node for load current return and gate drive reference in high-side configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche rated | 240 mJ single-pulse EAS ensures robustness against inductive kickback without external snubbers |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit | 0.28 Ω × 19 nC = 5.32 Ω·nC - balances conduction and switching losses in 100–500 kHz SMPS |
| Fast body diode recovery | 100–200 ns trr and 320–640 nC Qrr reduce switching losses when used in synchronous or freewheeling roles |
| Surface mount (D2PAK) | Supports automated assembly and delivers 2.0 W typical power dissipation without discrete heatsink |

|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9Z34N | VDS = -55 V, RDS(on) = 0.20 Ω @ -10 V, Qg = 22 nC, same D2PAK package | Lower voltage rating but lower on-resistance; higher gate charge increases switching loss | Select when system bus ≤55 V and lowest conduction loss is prioritized over gate drive efficiency |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF9Z24S at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRF9Z24S supports -7.7 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derated value reflects thermal limitations of the D2PAK package under real-world heatsinking conditions and must be verified against actual board layout and ambient airflow in the target application.
Does IRF9Z24S have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, the IRF9Z24S integrates a body diode inherent to its MOSFET structure. Key parameters include -11 A continuous source-drain current, -6.3 V forward voltage at -11 A and 25 °C, and 100–200 ns reverse recovery time with 320–640 nC reverse recovery charge-critical for evaluating freewheeling behavior in inductive loads.
Is IRF9Z24S pin-compatible with IRF9Z24 or SiHF9Z24?
Yes, IRF9Z24S shares identical pinout, package (D2PAK), and electrical specifications with IRF9Z24 and SiHF9Z24, as confirmed by Vishay's datasheet notes referencing shared test conditions and device orientation. All three are functionally interchangeable in existing layouts.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for IRF9Z24S, and how does it affect drive circuit design?
The IRF9Z24S has a gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) range of -2.0 V to -4.0 V at ID = -250 μA. This wide range necessitates gate drive voltages ≤ -10 V to ensure full enhancement across process and temperature variation, avoiding linear-mode operation and excessive power dissipation during switching transitions.
Can IRF9Z24S be used in avalanche mode repeatedly, and what limits its repetitive avalanche capability?
Yes, IRF9Z24S is fully rated for repetitive avalanche operation with IAR = -11 A and EAR = 6.0 mJ per pulse. Repetitive avalanche is limited by junction temperature rise-pulse width and duty cycle must be constrained so that peak TJ remains ≤175 °C, as shown in Figure 11's transient thermal impedance curve.
