Product details
Overview
IRFL4315PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 150 V, 2.6 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in SOT-223 package, optimized for high-frequency DC–DC converters. It features 185 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 12 nC typical total gate charge, and fully characterized effective output capacitance (Coss-eff = 98 pF) to support precise switching loss modeling in isolated flyback and active-clamp forward topologies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFL4315PBF datasheet, IRFL4315PBF pinout, IRFL4315PBF application, or IRFL4315PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Qgd/Qg ratio (0.57), avalanche-rated operation (EAS = 38 mJ), body diode reverse recovery performance (trr = 61 ns, Qrr = 160 nC), and thermal resistance (RθJA = 45 °C/W on PCB mount), all critical for hard-switched SMPS design.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar HEXFET technology with optimized cell pitch and gate oxide thickness to balance conduction loss and switching speed. Its low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd = 6.8 nC typ.) reduces Miller-induced turn-off delay and improves controllability under high dv/dt conditions (6.3 V/ns peak diode recovery).
The device is fully characterized for unclamped inductive switching (UIS), with specified single-pulse avalanche current (IAR = 3.1 A) and energy (EAS = 38 mJ), enabling robust operation in non-synchronous rectified converters where body diode conduction occurs during dead time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 150 V - Maximum blocking voltage for primary-side switch in 12 V–48 V input DC–DC converters with ≥2× voltage margin. |
| RDS(on) max | 185 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 1.6 A - Determines conduction loss in continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation at ≤2.1 A ambient-limited current. |
| Qg typ. | 12 nC - Enables fast turn-on with low gate drive power; supports >500 kHz switching when driven by 1–2 Ω source impedance. |
| Coss-eff | 98 pF - Fixed capacitance value used to calculate actual energy stored in output capacitance during VDS rise from 0 to 120 V (80% VDSS). |
| trr / Qrr | 61 ns / 160 nC - Quantifies body diode reverse recovery behavior during synchronous-to-asynchronous transition, directly impacting EMI and cross-conduction risk. |
| RθJA | 45 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to ambient on standard FR-4 PCB with 1-inch² copper pour; sets maximum continuous power dissipation at 2.8 W. |
Pinout & Package
IRFL4315PBF is housed in a surface-mount SOT-223 package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal conduction. The package outline conforms to EIA-418-1 and measures 7.55 mm × 6.95 mm × 1.85 mm (L × W × H). Drain is internally connected to the tab for low-inductance heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Drain) | Main current-carrying terminal (high-side switch node) | Internally bonded to metal tab; must be soldered to large copper area for thermal management and low EMI loop inlay. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring low-inductance gate resistor (RG = 15 Ω typical) to damp ringing during fast edge transitions. |
| Pin 3 (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Connected to power ground plane; forms critical part of gate loop-must minimize trace length to reduce oscillation risk. |
| Tab (Drain) | Thermal and electrical connection to drain | Exposed copper pad; electrically identical to Pin 1 and must be isolated from other potentials unless used as heatsink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 0.57 (6.8/12 nC) - Reduces Miller plateau duration and improves immunity to false turn-on during high dv/dt commutation. |
| Fully characterized Coss vs. VDS | 48 pF @ 120 V, 720 pF @ 1 V - Enables accurate soft-switching timing prediction and snubber design across full operating range. |
| Avalanche-rated operation | EAS = 38 mJ, IAR = 3.1 A - Supports reliable operation in non-synchronous converters without external clamping diodes. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating and die attach - Meets industrial environmental compliance requirements without derating or process change. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP1NK60Z | 600 V VDSS, 1 A ID, RDS(on) = 12 Ω - higher voltage rating but 65× higher on-resistance | Suitable only for low-current, high-voltage flybacks (e.g., AC–DC adapters); not viable for 2.1 A DC–DC loads | Select only if system requires >300 V blocking and can tolerate >1 W conduction loss at 1 A. |
| DMN3022LSD-13 | 30 V VDSS, 7.5 A ID, RDS(on) = 22 mΩ - lower voltage, higher current, smaller SOT-23 package | Designed for 5–12 V input point-of-load regulators; cannot withstand 150 V transients or reflected voltages | Use only in low-voltage synchronous buck stages downstream of primary isolation; not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with STP1NK60Z and DMN3022LSD-13, IRFL4315PBF uniquely balances 150 V blocking capability, 2.6 A current handling, and sub-200 mΩ on-resistance in SOT-223-making it the only option among the three suitable for mid-voltage (24–48 V) isolated DC–DC primary switches requiring both avalanche ruggedness and thermally manageable power dissipation.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for IRFL4315PBF?
The absolute maximum gate-to-source voltage is ±30 V, but the device is characterized and optimized for operation at VGS = 10 V. Driving above 12 V yields diminishing RDS(on) improvement while increasing gate oxide stress and leakage (IGSS up to 100 nA at VGS = 30 V). For reliable long-term operation, 10 V is the recommended nominal gate drive level.
Can IRFL4315PBF be used in synchronous rectification?
No-IRFL4315PBF is an N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET intended for high-side switching only. Its body diode is not optimized for reverse conduction in synchronous rectifier roles, and its Qrr and trr values exceed those of dedicated synchronous rectifiers (e.g., SiC Schottky or logic-level MOSFETs). Use only as a controlled switch, not as a freewheeling diode replacement.
How does the effective output capacitance (Coss-eff) differ from standard Coss?
Coss-eff = 98 pF is a derived value representing the fixed capacitance that produces the same energy storage and charging time as the nonlinear Coss(VDS) curve during VDS rise from 0 to 120 V (80% of 150 V VDSS). Unlike static Coss measured at one bias point, Coss-eff enables accurate turn-on loss calculation in hard-switched topologies per Application Note AN-1001.
Is IRFL4315PBF qualified for automotive applications?
No-IRFL4315PBF is explicitly qualified for industrial applications per Infineon's documentation. It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification, temperature cycling validation beyond –55°C to +150°C, and automotive-specific reliability testing (e.g., HTOL, ESD HBM >2 kV). For automotive use, refer to Infineon's AUIRFxx series, such as AUIRF3004, which share similar voltage/current ratings but include full automotive qualification.
