Product details
Overview
IRFR1018EPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 60 V, 7.1 mΩ (typ), D-Pak packaged N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET optimized for high-frequency hard-switched and synchronous rectification applications. It delivers 56 A continuous drain current (package-limited), supports 47 A avalanche current, and features enhanced body diode dV/dt and dI/dt capability for robust operation in SMPS and UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR1018EPBF datasheet, IRFR1018EPBF pinout, IRFR1018EPBF application, or IRFR1018EPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 10 V, Qg = 46 nC (typ), Coss = 270 pF, tr = 35 ns, and body diode trr = 26–39 ns - all critical for efficiency and EMI control in high-speed power conversion.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon-gate technology with optimized cell layout to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining high dv/dt ruggedness (>50 V/ns) and fully characterized avalanche SOA. Its gate charge profile (Qgd/Qg = 12/46 nC) enables fast, controllable switching with reduced Miller-induced shoot-through risk.
The integrated body diode exhibits low VSD = 1.3 V (max) and tightly specified reverse recovery (Qrr = 24–36 nC, IRRM = 1.8 A), making it suitable for synchronous rectification where diode conduction and recovery losses dominate system efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; sets upper limit for DC bus or flyback clamp voltage |
| RDS(on) (typ) | 7.1 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Determines conduction loss at 47 A: ~15.7 W dissipation without heatsink |
| Qg (typ) | 46 nC - Gate drive energy requirement; defines minimum driver peak current for <100 ns turn-on |
| tr / tf | 35 ns / 46 ns - Switching speed directly impacts overlap loss and EMI generation in 100–500 kHz converters |
| trr (max) | 39 ns @ TJ = 125°C - Limits minimum dead time in synchronous rectifiers to prevent cross-conduction |
| EAS | 315 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; enables unclamped inductive switching in relay drivers or motor phase legs |
| RθJC | 1.32 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows direct mounting to heatsink for >50 W continuous dissipation |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252AA) package: surface-mount, single-ended leadframe with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. Three terminals only: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level gate drive; threshold VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V ensures compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V controllers |
| D | High-side power terminal | Connected to PCB copper pour for heat sinking; electrically tied to backside metal - must be isolated from other layers |
| S | Reference node / return path | Source connection forms common reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance routing critical for dv/dt immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced avalanche ruggedness | Rated EAS = 315 mJ (single pulse); validated up to 47 A IAR - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive loads |
| Optimized body diode dI/dt capability | Supports di/dt ≤ 1668 A/μs - enables reliable operation in high-di/dt synchronous rectifier and freewheeling paths |
| Fully characterized Coss and SOA | Coss = 270 pF, Coss,eff(TR) = 630 pF - enables accurate soft-switching timing and loss modeling in LLC resonant designs |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | "PbF" suffix confirms exemption-compliant termination; qualified to consumer-level reliability standards per Infineon specification |
| Thermally enhanced D-Pak | RθJC = 1.32 °C/W - enables >50 W continuous power handling with minimal heatsink area on FR-4 PCB |
Applications
| SMPS Synchronous Rectifier | Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel 60 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP60NF06 | RDS(on) = 10 mΩ (typ), Qg = 70 nC, TO-220 package | Higher conduction loss, slower switching, through-hole mounting | Prefer when board space allows TO-220 and thermal mass mitigates higher RDS(on) |
| IXTP120N06S2 | RDS(on) = 5.2 mΩ (typ), Qg = 52 nC, TO-220 package, higher ID = 120 A | Lower RDS(on) but larger footprint and higher cost; not D-Pak compatible | Choose when lower conduction loss justifies larger package and added cost in high-volume production |
Compared with STP60NF06 and IXTP120N06S2, IRFR1018EPBF offers optimal balance of D-Pak surface-mount compatibility, 7.1 mΩ RDS(on), and 46 nC Qg - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-frequency SMPS where thermal performance and layout simplicity are prioritized over absolute lowest RDS(on).

FAQ
Is IRFR1018EPBF suitable for 3.3 V logic-level gate drive?
No - its gate threshold voltage VGS(th) ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V, and full enhancement requires ≥10 V gate drive to achieve rated RDS(on) = 7.1 mΩ. At 3.3 V, RDS(on) exceeds 50 mΩ, causing excessive conduction loss. A gate driver or level shifter is required for microcontroller-based 3.3 V systems.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies ID = 56 A at TC = 25°C (package-limited), derating linearly at 0.76 W/°C. At TC = 100°C, maximum continuous drain current is 11 A - calculated as 56 A × (1 − (100 − 25) × 0.76 / 56), consistent with the "Maximum Drain Current vs. Case Temperature" curve (Fig. 9).
Does IRFR1018EPBF have avalanche-rated operation?
Yes - it is fully characterized for unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 315 mJ (single-pulse, TJ = 25°C) and IAR = 47 A. Repetitive avalanche is permitted if junction temperature remains below 175°C, per Fig. 12 and AN-1005 guidelines on transient thermal impedance.
Can the body diode be used for reverse recovery in synchronous rectification?
Yes - the body diode is fully specified with trr = 26–39 ns, Qrr = 24–36 nC, and IRRM = 1.8 A. Its fast, soft recovery behavior and dI/dt capability up to 1668 A/μs make it suitable for synchronous rectification in 100–500 kHz converters when paired with appropriate dead-time control.
