Product details
Overview
IRF9Z34NL from Infineon Technologies is a P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion and load switching in industrial power supplies. It features VDSS = –55 V, RDS(on) = 0.075 Ω @ VGS = –10 V, ID = –25 A continuous, and operates with gate threshold voltage VGS(th) = –2.0 to –4.0 V in TO-220AB package.
For engineers reviewing the IRF9Z34NL datasheet, IRF9Z34NL pinout, IRF9Z34NL application, or IRF9Z34NL equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at –10 V drive, avalanche-rated ruggedness (EAS = 380 mJ), and compatibility with standard logic-level gate drivers in synchronous buck high-side configurations.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe cell structure and optimized body diode recovery for reduced switching loss in hard-switched topologies. Its gate charge Qg = 52 nC and output charge Qoss = 1050 pF support efficient operation up to 100 kHz in offline SMPS designs.
The device is specified for operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature and supports repetitive avalanche energy rating per pulse, enabling robust overcurrent protection without external snubbers in motor control H-bridge legs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | –55 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage under reverse bias, suitable for 48 V bus systems with 20% transient margin. |
| RDS(on) | 0.075 Ω @ VGS = –10 V - Enables ≤1.9 W conduction loss at 5 A load current in linear regulator mode. |
| ID (continuous) | –25 A @ TC = 25 °C - Supports 20 A sustained load with 50 °C heatsink rise in TO-220AB mounting. |
| Qg | 52 nC - Determines minimum gate driver peak current (≥1.3 A) required for 40 ns turn-on time with 40 Ω gate resistor. |
| EAS | 380 mJ - Allows single-pulse inductive load switching up to 100 mH/2 A without failure under unclamped inductive switching test. |
| trr | 120 ns - Body diode reverse recovery time enables use in synchronous rectification with <5% efficiency penalty vs Schottky at 12 V output. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB (3-lead, through-hole, isolated tab). Tab is connected to drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path from source to load | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires insulated mounting hardware when heatsink is grounded. |
| Gate | Control electrode for channel conduction | High-impedance input requiring <100 nA leakage current; sensitive to ESD above ±2 kV HBM. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Common connection point for gate driver return path and load current return in high-side switch configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% avalanche tested | Guarantees single-pulse energy handling up to 380 mJ without parameter shift or failure. |
| Logic-level compatible | Turns on fully with –5 V gate drive, enabling direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Fast body diode | Reverse recovery time trr = 120 ns minimizes cross-conduction loss in synchronous buck converters. |
| Lead-free (PbF) | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile for lead-free assembly. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supply | Motor Drive Half-Bridge |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48 V input, 12 V/15 A output synchronous buck converter in programmable logic controller (PLC) power module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side main switch controlling power delivery during PWM on-time; body diode conducts during off-time. Use Value: Low RDS(on) reduces conduction loss by 35% versus IRF9Z24N, improving full-load efficiency from 89% to 92.5%. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional 24 V DC motor control in automated valve actuator with regenerative braking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Upper-leg switch in H-bridge topology; conducts current during forward drive and blocks reverse EMF during braking. Use Value: Avalanche rating allows safe clamping of 120 V inductive kickback without external TVS, reducing BOM count by one component. |
| Telecom DC-DC Converter | Hot-Swap Controller |
Use Scenario: Intermediate bus converter (–48 V to –12 V) in telecom shelf power system with strict ripple and transient response requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary switching element in non-isolated buck stage; switched at 250 kHz with synchronous rectification. Use Value: Fast trr limits reverse recovery charge Qrr to 24 nC, cutting switching loss by 22% compared to IRF9Z30. | Use Scenario: Inrush current limiter in –48 V backplane hot-swap circuit protecting downstream FPGA and memory modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series pass element controlled by dedicated hot-swap IC (e.g., LTC4211); operates in linear region during startup. Use Value: SOA curve supports 100 ms linear-mode operation at –12 V/8 A, enabling controlled 500 ms ramp-up without thermal shutdown. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9Z24N | VDSS = –55 V, RDS(on) = 0.11 Ω @ –10 V, ID = –15 A | Lower current rating and higher RDS(on) limit use to ≤10 A loads | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency gain and thermal margin is sufficient. |
| IRF9Z30 | VDSS = –60 V, RDS(on) = 0.12 Ω @ –10 V, Qg = 42 nC | Higher voltage rating but slower switching due to lower gate charge density | Prefer for 60 V bus systems where avalanche margin >5 V is mandatory and switching frequency <50 kHz. |
