Product details
Overview
IRFB33N15DPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 150V, 33A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-262 (I²PAK) package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and active clamp forward topologies in 48V telecom power supplies. It features RDS(on) = 0.056Ω @ VGS = 10V, Qg = 60 nC (typ), and fully characterized Coss(eff) = 320 pF for simplified snubberless design.
For engineers reviewing the IRFB33N15DPBF datasheet, IRFB33N15DPBF pinout, IRFB33N15DPBF application, or IRFB33N15DPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (EAS = 330 mJ), diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 920 nC), gate charge profile, thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.90°C/W), and lead-free compliance per JEDEC TO-262 outline.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device employs planar stripe cell structure with optimized gate oxide and trench-assisted drift region to achieve low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit. Its dynamic parameters-including Qgd/Qgs ratio of ~1.6 (27/17 nC) and Crss/Ciss = 4.5%-support stable high-speed switching under hard-switched conditions up to 500 kHz.
The integrated body diode exhibits controlled reverse recovery (trr = 150 ns, Qrr = 920 nC at dI/dt = 100 A/µs) and low forward voltage (VSD = 1.3 V @ IS = 20 A), enabling reliable synchronous rectification and freewheeling in non-isolated buck-derived topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 150 V - Withstands 48V input-derived bus voltages with ≥3× safety margin in active clamp forward converters |
| RDS(on) max | 0.056 Ω @ VGS = 10V - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 20A continuous drain current |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 33 A - Supports high-current primary-side switching in 500W–1kW telecom SMPS designs |
| Qg typ | 60 nC - Reduces gate drive power requirement and enables use of low-power gate drivers (e.g., IR2110) |
| EAS | 330 mJ - Sustains unclamped inductive switching events without failure during startup or overload |
| Coss(eff) | 320 pF - Minimizes turn-off energy loss and simplifies zero-voltage switching (ZVS) implementation |
| RθJC | 0.90 °C/W - Allows direct mounting to heatsink with ≤10°C junction rise at 170W dissipation |
Pinout & Package
IRFB33N15DPBF uses the TO-262 (I²PAK) package: single-row 3-lead outline with isolated tab (Drain-connected), compliant with JEDEC MS-013. Mounting torque: 10 lbf·in (1.1 N·m); soldering temperature: 300°C for 10 s at 1.6 mm from case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Gate | Control electrode | Receives 10V logic-level drive; Miller plateau occurs at ~4.5–6.0V for predictable dV/dt control |
| 2 – Drain | Main current path anode | Internally connected to metal tab; requires insulated mounting when heatsink is grounded |
| 3 – Source | Main current path cathode & reference node | Serves as return path for load current and gate drive loop; low-inductance layout critical for EMI reduction |
| 4 – Drain (Tab) | Thermal & electrical connection | Provides primary heat conduction path; electrically identical to Pin 2; must be isolated if heatsink is not floating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd) | 27 nC typ - Reduces Miller-induced shoot-through risk and improves dv/dt immunity in high-side configurations |
| Fully characterized effective output capacitance | Coss(eff) = 320 pF - Enables accurate turn-off energy calculation (Eoff ≈ ½ × Coss(eff) × VDS²) for ZVS design |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 moisture sensitivity - Eliminates post-reflow baking for standard SMT assembly |
| Enhanced avalanche ruggedness | EAS = 330 mJ - Guarantees single-pulse robustness under worst-case transformer leakage inductance energy |
| Optimized body diode recovery | Qrr = 920 nC, trr = 150 ns - Limits reverse recovery loss and EMI generation during freewheeling transitions |
Applications
| Telecom 48V DC-DC Converters | Active Clamp Forward Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 48V input, 12V/30A output telecom brick supplying base station RF modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side hard-switched MOSFET operating at 250–500 kHz with 50% duty cycle; handles full input current during on-time. Use Value: Low Qg and RDS(on) reduce total switching + conduction losses to <3.5W, enabling >94% efficiency at full load without forced air cooling. | Use Scenario: Main switch in isolated 48V→380V boost converter for PoE++ midspan power sourcing equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary switch clamped by auxiliary winding; subjected to repetitive unclamped inductive turn-off stress. Use Value: 330 mJ EAS rating ensures reliable operation across 100,000+ cycles without degradation, eliminating need for external snubbers. |
| Server VRM High-Side Switch | Industrial Motor Drive Half-Bridge |
Use Scenario: High-side FET in multiphase buck converter delivering 1.8V/120A to server CPU core rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronously rectified switch with 150 ns dead-time; conducts peak current during PWM on-phase. Use Value: 0.056Ω RDS(on) limits I²R loss to <1.2W at 20A RMS, while low Coss(eff) minimizes shoot-through risk during fast transitions. | Use Scenario: Upper-leg switch in 24V/10A BLDC inverter for factory automation actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Commutated at 10–20 kHz; body diode conducts freewheeling current during lower-FET on-time. Use Value: Controlled Qrr = 920 nC prevents voltage overshoot >180V during diode recovery, avoiding overvoltage failure in 24V rail systems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP33N150 | RDS(on) = 0.065Ω; Qg = 75 nC; TO-220 package | Higher conduction loss (+16%) and gate drive demand; lacks Coss(eff) characterization | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and board space allows larger footprint |
| IXTH30N15P | RDS(on) = 0.050Ω; Qg = 105 nC; TO-247 package | Lower on-resistance but 75% higher gate charge increases driver complexity and switching loss | Selected when thermal budget permits higher RθJA and system prioritizes conduction over switching loss |
Compared with STP33N150 and IXTH30N15P, IRFB33N15DPBF delivers optimal balance of low Qg-driven switching loss and moderate RDS(on), with verified Coss(eff) and avalanche data essential for telecom-grade reliability validation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFB33N15DPBF supports 24 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-262 package and ensures safe operation within its 170 W power dissipation limit at that temperature.
Does this MOSFET have avalanche capability, and how is it rated?
Yes, IRFB33N15DPBF is fully rated for unclamped inductive switching: single-pulse avalanche energy EAS = 330 mJ (TJ = 25°C), repetitive avalanche energy EAR = 17 mJ, and avalanche current IAR = 20 A. These values are measured per JEDEC JESD24-11 and validated in the datasheet's Avalanche Characteristics section.
Can the body diode be used for synchronous rectification in a buck converter?
The integrated body diode has VSD = 1.3 V at 20 A and trr = 150 ns, making it usable for low-frequency (<100 kHz) freewheeling, but not recommended for true synchronous rectification due to lack of optimized soft recovery and higher forward drop versus dedicated Schottky or GaN devices.
Is the TO-262 package pin-compatible with TO-220AB or TO-247 footprints?
No-IRFB33N15DPBF uses JEDEC TO-262 (I²PAK), which has 3 leads in single row and a large isolated tab, differing from TO-220AB's 3-lead staggered layout and TO-247's 3-lead wide-body form factor. PCB layout and heatsink mounting must follow the specific TO-262 mechanical drawing (PD-95537).
