Product details
Overview
IRFP054N from Infineon Technologies is a 55V, 81A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, featuring RDS(on) ≤ 12 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, 175°C max junction temperature, and fully avalanche-rated operation. It serves as a high-current switching element in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and UPS systems requiring robust conduction and fast turn-on/turn-off.
For engineers reviewing the IRFP054N datasheet, IRFP054N pinout, IRFP054N application, or IRFP054N equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.012 Ω on-resistance, 290 A pulsed drain current capability, 360 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating, and TO-247AC thermal performance with RθJC = 0.90 °C/W.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device employs fifth-generation silicon process technology to minimize conduction loss while maintaining high dv/dt immunity (5.0 V/ns) and rugged unclamped inductive switching behavior. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 130 nC, Qgd = 33 nC) supports efficient hard-switching up to 100 kHz in synchronous rectification and half-bridge topologies.
The integrated body diode exhibits trr = 81–120 ns and Qrr = 240–370 nC under 100 A/µs di/dt, enabling use in freewheeling paths where reverse recovery softness and speed are critical-such as in LLC resonant converters and high-frequency inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBRDSS | 55 V - Withstands 55 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset; suitable for 48 V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.012 Ω - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 81 A DC, reducing heatsink requirements in high-current switch nodes. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 81 A - Continuous current rating at case temperature 25°C; derates linearly above 25°C per 1.1 W/°C thermal slope. |
| EAS | 360 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating confirms reliability during inductive load switching transients without external snubbers. |
| Qg | 130 nC - Total gate charge determines driver strength requirement; compatible with standard 1–2 A peak gate drivers. |
| tr/tf | 66 ns / 46 ns - Fast rise/fall times support high-frequency PWM operation while limiting switching losses in SMPS designs. |
| RθJC | 0.90 °C/W - Low junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct mounting to heatsinks for >100 W continuous dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package with isolated mounting hole, non-surface-mountable, designed for high-power through-hole PCB mounting and mechanical heatsink attachment using M3 or 6-32 screws (torque: 1.1 N·m).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal connected to die backside | Electrically tied to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Low-inductance source connection critical for stable gate control; LS = 13 nH impacts high-speed switching stability. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode modulating channel conductivity | High-impedance input requiring low-impedance gate driver; threshold VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V ensures TTL/CMOS compatibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche rated | Guarantees safe operation under unclamped inductive switching up to 360 mJ single-pulse energy without failure. |
| 175°C maximum junction temperature | Enables operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., industrial motor drives) without derating below full current capability. |
| Dynamic dv/dt rating of 5.0 V/ns | Prevents false turn-on during high-speed voltage transients in bridge-leg configurations with shared source nodes. |
| Advanced fifth-generation HEXFET process | Delivers 12 mΩ RDS(on) in TO-247AC - 20% lower than prior-gen equivalents at same voltage class and package. |
| Lead-free construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; no lead contamination risk in reflow or wave soldering processes. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP80NF55-08 | RDS(on) = 8.5 mΩ (lower), VBRDSS = 55 V, Qg = 140 nC (higher), TO-220FP package | Limited to 80 A continuous; lower thermal mass and higher RθJA restrict use in >60 W ambient-constrained designs | Prefer when board space is constrained and heatsinking is passive; avoid in forced-air or high-TA environments. |
| IXTH80N50L2 | VBRDSS = 500 V (higher), RDS(on) = 0.022 Ω (higher), 175°C rating, TO-247 package | Designed for 400 V DC bus systems; higher on-resistance increases conduction loss in 48 V applications | Select only when higher breakdown voltage is mandatory; not recommended for 55 V-class systems due to efficiency penalty. |
Compared with STP80NF55-08 and IXTH80N50L2, the IRFP054N uniquely balances ultra-low RDS(on), industry-standard 55 V rating, and TO-247AC thermal performance-making it optimal for high-current, medium-voltage industrial switching where both efficiency and ruggedness are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFP054N at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFP054N supports 57 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating from the 81 A rating at 25°C, governed by the 1.1 W/°C linear derating factor and RθJC = 0.90 °C/W.
Can IRFP054N be used in synchronous rectification topologies?
Yes-the IRFP054N is suitable for synchronous rectification due to its low RDS(on) (0.012 Ω), fast switching (tr = 66 ns, tf = 46 ns), and low Qgd/Qg ratio (33/130 nC). Its body diode trr = 81–120 ns allows controlled commutation when properly driven with adaptive gate timing.
Is the TO-247AC package electrically isolated between drain and mounting tab?
No-the TO-247AC package has the drain terminal electrically connected to the metal tab. The mounting hole is mechanically isolated but does not provide electrical isolation; therefore, an insulating washer and shoulder washer must be used when mounting to a grounded heatsink.
Does IRFP054N require gate resistors for reliable operation?
Yes-a series gate resistor (typically 3.3–10 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate loop inductance (LS = 13 nH) and prevent oscillation during fast edge transitions. Values are selected based on desired dV/dt control and driver capability, with 3.6 Ω used in the official switching time test circuit.
