Product details
Overview
IRFP4568PBF from Infineon Technologies is a 150V, 171A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in TO-247AC package, optimized for high-frequency hard-switching and synchronous rectification. It delivers 4.8 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 151 nC total gate charge, and 763 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy-enabling robust operation in UPS and high-efficiency SMPS primary/secondary side switching.
For engineers reviewing the IRFP4568PBF datasheet, IRFP4568PBF pinout, IRFP4568PBF application, or IRFP4568PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 18.5 V/ns peak diode recovery dv/dt rating, fully characterized Coss eff. (ER) of 897 pF, enhanced body diode dI/dt capability, and thermal resistance RθJC of 0.29 °C/W for high-power thermal management.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology with optimized cell layout to achieve low conduction loss and high dynamic ruggedness. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 151–227 nC, Qgd = 55 nC) supports fast, controllable switching in hard-switched topologies while maintaining low Miller-induced oscillation risk.
The device features fully characterized unclamped inductive switching (UIS) behavior, with thermally limited EAS = 763 mJ and IAR = 103 A under defined test conditions. Its body diode exhibits trr = 110 ns (TJ = 25°C) and Qrr = 515 nC, enabling reliable reverse recovery in synchronous rectifier configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 150 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines usable bus voltage headroom in 120 VAC-derived DC-link designs. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 4.8 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 103 A - Directly determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ I² × R) in high-current output stages. |
| Qg | 151–227 nC - Governs gate drive power and switching speed; impacts driver IC selection and dead-time optimization. |
| trr | 110 ns @ TJ = 25°C - Critical for minimizing reverse recovery losses and EMI in synchronous rectifiers. |
| EAS | 763 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy limit; sets safe operating margin during transient overvoltage events. |
| RθJC | 0.29 °C/W - Enables precise junction temperature estimation under 517 W max power dissipation at TC = 25°C. |
| dv/dt (diode) | 18.5 V/ns - Minimum rate of voltage rise the body diode can sustain without spurious turn-on; essential for ZVS/ZCS circuit stability. |
Pinout & Package
IRFP4568PBF uses the industry-standard TO-247AC package: isolated tab (drain), three leads in line (G–D–S), with drain electrically connected to the metal tab for direct heatsink mounting. Not recommended for surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level drive to fully enhance channel; internal RG = 1.0 Ω affects gate ringing susceptibility. |
| D (Drain) | High-side current path terminal | Connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system design permits common-drain configuration. |
| S (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Provides return path for load current and gate drive loop; low-inductance layout critical for dI/dt stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced body diode dI/dt capability | Supports >360 A/µs di/dt without parasitic turn-on-critical for high-frequency synchronous rectification in LLC resonant converters. |
| Fully characterized avalanche SOA | Thermally validated UIS performance up to 763 mJ enables reliable operation under inductive fault transients without derating. |
| Low Coss eff. (ER) | 897 pF - Reduces turn-off energy loss (Eoff ∝ V² × Coss) in hard-switched PFC and DC-DC stages. |
| Improved dynamic dV/dt ruggedness | 18.5 V/ns rated diode recovery dv/dt prevents false triggering during rapid voltage transitions in high-side switch applications. |
Applications
| UPS Inverter Stage | Server PSU Primary Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional 150 V DC bus switching in double-conversion online UPS with 5–10 kHz PWM frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power switch handling 100+ A continuous current and 684 A pulsed surge during battery backup transition. Use Value: 4.8 mΩ RDS(on) minimizes conduction loss at full load; 763 mJ EAS ensures survivability during grid-fault-induced inductive kickback. | Use Scenario: Active clamp forward or phase-shifted full-bridge primary-side switch in 3 kW server power supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main switching element operating at 100–300 kHz with hard-switched gate drive and high dI/dt demands. Use Value: Low Qgd/Qg ratio (55/151 nC) improves controllability; 18.5 V/ns dv/dt rating suppresses Miller-induced shoot-through during voltage transitions. |
| Industrial SMPS Output Rectifier | Motor Drive Half-Bridge Leg |
Use Scenario: Synchronous rectification in 48 V/100 A telecom rectifier module with forced-air cooling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side synchronous FET replacing Schottky diode; commutated at 200–500 kHz with zero-voltage switching assist. Use Value: 110 ns trr and 515 nC Qrr reduce reverse recovery loss and EMI; low RDS(on) cuts conduction loss by >60% vs. 40 V Schottky alternatives. | Use Scenario: 150 V bus motor drive for HVAC compressors or industrial pumps with 10–20 kHz PWM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Upper/lower leg switch in half-bridge topology; subjected to repetitive inductive switching and body diode commutation. Use Value: Fully characterized avalanche SOA allows safe operation during motor stall or short-circuit events; 0.29 °C/W RθJC enables compact heatsink design at 121 A @ TC = 100°C. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current 150 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW100N150F7 | 150 V, 100 A, RDS(on) = 5.2 mΩ, Qg = 134 nC, TO-247 long leads | Lower current rating; optimized for higher-frequency switching with lower Qgd | Preferred where gate drive loss dominates and peak current ≤100 A. |
| IXFH180N15X5 | 150 V, 180 A, RDS(on) = 4.0 mΩ, Qg = 240 nC, TO-247 non-isolated | Higher current and lower RDS(on), but larger gate charge increases drive complexity | Chosen when conduction loss is critical and gate drive capability supports 240 nC. |
Compared with STW100N150F7 and IXFH180N15X5, IRFP4568PBF offers balanced trade-offs: superior current rating versus ST's part and lower Qg than IXYS's device-making it optimal for 120–170 A hard-switched SMPS where thermal and drive constraints coexist.

FAQ
Is IRFP4568PBF suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No. The TO-247AC package is explicitly not recommended for surface-mount applications per Infineon's datasheet (Rev. 2.1, p.8). It requires through-hole mounting with mechanical screw attachment and thermal interface material to a heatsink for reliable thermal performance.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current at TC = 100°C is 121 A, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (ID @ TC = 100°C, VGS = 10 V). This value reflects silicon-limited current with linear derating applied above 25°C.
Does IRFP4568PBF have a built-in gate protection diode?
No. IRFP4568PBF does not integrate a gate protection Zener or clamp diode. External gate-source TVS (e.g., 18 V) is recommended to prevent damage from VGS exceeding ±30 V, especially in high-noise industrial environments.
Can IRFP4568PBF replace IRFP4668 in existing designs?
Not directly. While both are 150 V TO-247 MOSFETs, IRFP4668 has RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ and Qg = 200 nC-lower on-resistance but higher gate charge. Layout, gate drive strength, and thermal design must be revalidated; no pin-to-pin or electrical drop-in compatibility is guaranteed.
