Product details
Overview
IRFP9140N from Infineon Technologies is a P-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET designed for high-efficiency switching in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and industrial power supplies. It delivers -100V V(BR)DSS, 0.117Ω RDS(on) at -10V VGS, -23A continuous drain current at 25°C, and operates up to +175°C junction temperature - enabling robust operation in high-power, thermally constrained environments such as industrial motor control inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRFP9140N datasheet, IRFP9140N pinout, IRFP9140N application, or IRFP9140N equivalent, key selection criteria include its fully avalanche-rated capability (430 mJ single-pulse), fast switching performance (td(on) = 15 ns, tf = 51 ns), TO-247AC package thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.1°C/W), and body diode recovery characteristics (trr = 150–220 ns).
Technical Context
This device employs Infineon's Fifth Generation HEXFET process, delivering optimized cell density and reduced specific on-resistance. Its P-channel architecture enables high-side switching without level-shifting circuitry in buck or synchronous rectifier topologies.
The MOSFET supports unclamped inductive switching with validated avalanche energy ratings (EAS = 430 mJ, IAR = -11 A) and features dynamic dv/dt immunity (-5.0 V/ns), critical for noise-immune operation in high-di/dt motor drive and SMPS applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | -100 V - Withstands reverse-biased drain-source voltage up to rated breakdown without conduction. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.117 Ω @ VGS = -10 V, ID = -13 A - Enables low conduction loss in high-current P-channel switch designs. |
| ID (25°C) | -23 A - Supports continuous load current in industrial power stages with adequate heatsinking. |
| EAS | 430 mJ - Allows safe energy absorption during unclamped inductive turn-off events without failure. |
| trr / Qrr | 150–220 ns / 830–1200 nC - Defines body diode recovery behavior in synchronous rectification or freewheeling paths. |
| RθJC | 1.1 °C/W - Enables efficient heat transfer from junction to heatsink in TO-247AC mounting configuration. |
| dv/dt rating | -5.0 V/ns - Ensures immunity to false triggering during rapid voltage transients across drain-source. |
Pinout & Package
IRFP9140N uses the TO-247AC package - a through-hole, isolated-mount power package with 3 terminals: Drain (tab), Source (pin 1), and Gate (pin 2). The metal tab is electrically connected to the Drain, requiring insulated mounting hardware.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-current output path | Electrically tied to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground. |
| Source (Pin 1) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Connects to common rail; defines VGS reference point and carries full load current back to supply. |
| Gate (Pin 2) | Control input for channel modulation | Receives negative VGS (-10 V typical) to fully enhance P-channel channel; requires low-impedance driver due to 97 nC total gate charge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche rated | 430 mJ single-pulse energy handling ensures reliability under inductive switching stress without external snubbers. |
| 175°C maximum junction temperature | Enables operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments without derating penalties. |
| Fast switching speed | 15 ns turn-on delay + 51 ns fall time reduces switching losses in 50–200 kHz SMPS and motor PWM stages. |
| Dynamic dv/dt immunity | -5.0 V/ns rating prevents spurious turn-on during high-slew-rate transients in half-bridge or H-bridge configurations. |
| Lead-free construction | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF9540NPbF | Higher RDS(on) = 0.2 Ω, lower ID = -19 A, same TO-247AC package | Lower power density; suitable only for <15 A continuous loads | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency needs and thermal margin is ample. |
| STP9NK90ZFP | Zener-protected gate, 900 V rating, RDS(on) = 1.2 Ω, TO-220FP package | Higher voltage capability but higher on-resistance and inferior thermal performance (RθJC = 2.5°C/W) | Choose only for ultra-high-voltage (>600 V) ZVS or resonant topologies where 100 V rating is insufficient. |
Compared with IRF9540NPbF and STP9NK90ZFP, IRFP9140N offers the optimal balance of low on-resistance (0.117 Ω), high current capacity (-23 A), and proven avalanche ruggedness - making it the preferred choice for thermally demanding, medium-voltage industrial switching where efficiency and reliability are co-prioritized.

FAQ
Is IRFP9140N suitable for synchronous rectification in a 48 V output DC-DC converter?
Yes. With 0.117 Ω RDS(on) at -10 V VGS and 150–220 ns body diode reverse recovery, IRFP9140N reduces conduction and switching losses versus Schottky diodes in 48 V secondary-side rectification. Its P-channel topology simplifies gate drive in low-side configurations, and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.1°C/W) supports sustained 20 A operation with proper heatsinking.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for hard-switching at 100 kHz?
A 5.1 Ω gate resistor is validated in the datasheet for switching characterization (td(off) = 51 ns, tf = 51 ns). For 100 kHz hard-switching, this value balances EMI control and switching loss. Lower values (≤2.2 Ω) may be used with gate drivers capable of ±2 A peak current to further reduce turn-off time, provided layout minimizes parasitic inductance.
Does IRFP9140N require a heatsink in a 15 A continuous application?
Yes. At 15 A and 0.117 Ω RDS(on), conduction loss is ~26 W. With RθJC = 1.1°C/W and ambient ≤50°C, even a modest heatsink (RθSA ≈ 1.5°C/W) is required to keep TJ below 175°C. Without forced air, a minimum 50 cm² aluminum heatsink with thermal interface material is recommended per the SOA curves in Figure 8.
Can IRFP9140N replace IRF9540N in an existing design?
Yes, with validation. IRFP9140N offers lower RDS(on) (0.117 Ω vs. 0.2 Ω), higher ID (-23 A vs. -19 A), and superior avalanche rating (430 mJ vs. 200 mJ). Gate threshold and charge are similar, so existing gate drivers usually suffice. However, verify layout thermal margins and SOA compliance under worst-case inductive loads due to higher peak current capability.
