Product details
Overview
IRFB7540PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 60V, 110A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-current switching in motor drives and DC/DC converters. It delivers 4.2 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, supports 430 A pulsed drain current, and features enhanced body diode dV/dt (11 V/ns) and avalanche ruggedness (180 mJ single-pulse).
For engineers reviewing the IRFB7540PBF datasheet, IRFB7540PBF pinout, IRFB7540PBF application, or IRFB7540PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include continuous current rating at elevated case temperature (80 A @ TC = 100°C), gate charge (88 nC typ.), SOA compliance in hard-switching topologies, and thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.95°C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process with optimized cell layout to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching capability. Its gate threshold voltage (2.1–3.7 V) enables reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 10 V logic-level drivers.
The device integrates a fast, soft-recovery body diode (trr = 33 ns @ 25°C, Qrr = 36 nC) and exhibits fully characterized Ciss (4555 pF), Coss (415 pF), and Crss (270 pF) for accurate snubber and gate drive design in resonant and synchronous rectifier applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage; suitable for 48 V bus systems with margin against transients. |
| RDS(on) max | 5.1 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 65 A - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 65 A, critical for high-efficiency motor inverters. |
| ID cont @ TC = 100°C | 80 A - Sustains high load current in thermally constrained enclosures without derating below system requirement. |
| Qg typ. | 88 nC - Determines gate driver power and switching speed; compatible with common 1–2 A peak gate drivers. |
| EAS single-pulse | 180 mJ @ TJ = 25°C - Supports unclamped inductive switching in half-bridge leg without external clamping. |
| tr/tf | 76 ns / 56 ns @ ID = 65 A - Enables >100 kHz switching in hard-switched DC/DC converters with controlled EMI. |
| VSD max | 1.2 V @ IS = 65 A - Low forward drop of integrated body diode reduces losses in synchronous rectification and OR-ing. |
Pinout & Package
IRFB7540PBF is housed in a TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard lead pitch (2.54 mm), and screw-mount capability (6-32 or M3, 1.1 N·m torque). The package provides 0.95°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and supports direct heatsink mounting via the metal tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / heat sink interface | Electrically connected to metal tab; requires isolation washer if heatsink is grounded; primary thermal path. |
| Source | Power return / reference node for gate drive | Low-inductance source connection essential for stable gate control; forms common node with driver ground in high-side configurations. |
| Gate | Control input for channel modulation | High-impedance terminal requiring low-impedance gate driver (<2.7 Ω recommended) to minimize switching losses and oscillation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced body diode dV/dt capability | 11 V/ns at TJ = 175°C - Prevents false turn-on during fast voltage transitions in bridge-leg commutation. |
| Fully characterized avalanche SOA | 180 mJ single-pulse, 313 mJ with 1 mH inductance - Enables reliable operation in unclamped inductive loads without external protection. |
| Low Coss effective energy | Coss eff.(ER) = 430 pF - Reduces turn-off loss and improves efficiency in ZVS and resonant topologies. |
| Lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction | Meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile - Supports automated assembly without lead-free solder compatibility concerns. |
| Thermally rugged junction | TJ range: –55°C to +175°C - Allows deployment in under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and high-ambient environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP110N6F6 | RDS(on) = 5.3 mΩ (max), Qg = 92 nC, TO-220 package | Higher gate charge increases driver loss; slightly higher RDS(on) raises conduction loss by ~2% at 65 A | Acceptable for lower-frequency (<50 kHz) motor drives where gate drive simplicity outweighs efficiency loss. |
| IXTH110N60L2 | 600 V rating, RDS(on) = 11.5 mΩ, TO-247 package, higher RθJC = 1.2°C/W | Over-specified voltage rating adds cost and capacitance; unsuitable for 48 V systems due to excessive Ciss (5200 pF) | Not recommended for 48 V applications; consider only if future-proofing for higher bus voltages is required. |
Compared with STP110N6F6 and IXTH110N60L2, IRFB7540PBF offers the optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and proven avalanche ruggedness for 48 V motor and power conversion designs-delivering measurable efficiency gain without compromising reliability or driver complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for IRFB7540PBF?
The IRFB7540PBF has a specified operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +175°C. Its absolute maximum storage temperature matches this range. Thermal design must ensure steady-state TJ remains ≤175°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions, using RθJC = 0.95°C/W and verified heatsink performance.
Can IRFB7540PBF be used in synchronous rectification without an external diode?
Yes-the integrated body diode is characterized for synchronous rectifier use, with trr = 33 ns (25°C) and Qrr = 36 nC. Its 11 V/ns dV/dt rating and soft recovery behavior allow direct replacement of Schottky diodes in 48 V secondary-side applications when driven with precise gate timing.
Is IRFB7540PBF pin-compatible with IRFS7540PbF or IRFSL7540PbF?
No-IRFB7540PbF uses TO-220AB, IRFS7540PbF uses D2PAK (TO-263), and IRFSL7540PbF uses TO-262. While electrically identical, their mechanical footprints, thermal paths, and mounting methods differ significantly; PCB layout and heatsinking must be redesigned for each package variant.
Does IRFB7540PBF require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No-its gate threshold voltage (2.1–3.7 V) and low gate leakage (<100 nA) allow clean turn-off with 0 V gate drive. However, applying –5 V enhances noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments; the absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V, so –5 V is well within safe limits.
