Product details
Overview
IRFR13N20DCPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 200 V, 13 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, optimized for switch-mode power supply (SMPS) primary-side switching with RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω at VGS = 10 V and Qg = 24 nC. It operates in hard-switched flyback and forward converters up to 500 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR13N20DCPBF datasheet, IRFR13N20DCPBF pinout, IRFR13N20DCPBF application, or IRFR13N20DCPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include breakdown voltage margin, gate charge for ZVS/ZCS compatibility, thermal resistance (RθJA = 62 °C/W), SOA compliance at 100 µs pulse width, and lead-free RoHS-compliant packaging.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology with optimized cell pitch and field oxide termination to sustain 200 V blocking while maintaining low conduction loss. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V, enabling reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 12 V gate drivers.
The device features fully avalanche-rated operation (EAS = 125 mJ), specified for repetitive unclamped inductive switching, and includes integrated body diode with trr = 60 ns and Qrr = 38 nC - critical for synchronous rectification and snubberless designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 200 V - supports 170 V AC input rectified to ~240 V DC with 20% derating margin for surge transients |
| ID (continuous) | 13 A @ TC = 25 °C - enables 150–200 W SMPS output with forced-air cooling |
| RDS(on) | 0.22 Ω max @ VGS = 10 V - limits conduction loss to ≤3.1 W at 13 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| Qg | 24 nC - compatible with common PWM controllers (e.g., UC384x) driving ≤1 W gate driver stage |
| EAS | 125 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive energy without failure during startup or overload |
| RθJA | 62 °C/W - requires minimum 250 mm² copper pour on DPAK drain pad for ≤100 °C junction rise at full load |
Pinout & Package
Package: DPAK (TO-252), surface-mount, single-drain tab design with exposed drain pad for thermal conduction to PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Power return path for load current | Internally connected to substrate; must be routed to low-impedance ground plane to minimize switching noise coupling |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control terminal for channel conduction | High-impedance input requiring <100 pF layout capacitance; gate resistor value directly sets dV/dt and EMI profile |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Main high-side power node | Exposed metal tab - electrically and thermally tied to drain; must be soldered to ≥250 mm² copper area for thermal management |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully avalanche-rated | Guarantees robustness against inductive kickback in offline SMPS without external clamping |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), suitable for standard reflow profiles |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 60 ns enables use in quasi-resonant topologies without adding external freewheeling diode |
| Low gate charge | Reduces driver power dissipation and allows higher-frequency operation with minimal gate drive loss |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter | Industrial Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 65 W laptop adapter operating from universal AC input (90–264 V AC). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side switching MOSFET in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converter. Use Value: 200 V rating accommodates peak line voltage + surge; 0.22 Ω RDS(on) keeps conduction loss below 2.5 W at full load. | Use Scenario: 120 W programmable bench power supply with overvoltage/overcurrent protection.

Use Value: 125 mJ EAS withstands transformer leakage energy during soft-start; fast body diode reduces circulating current loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SMPS switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP14NF20 | RDS(on) = 0.24 Ω, Qg = 26 nC, same VDSS/ID | Slightly higher conduction loss; identical thermal footprint | Acceptable where gate drive margin exists and 0.02 Ω RDS(on) increase is tolerable |
| IXTP12N20D2 | RDS(on) = 0.26 Ω, Qg = 22 nC, enhanced body diode softness (trr = 45 ns) | Better EMI performance in high-dV/dt environments due to softer diode recovery | Preferred when minimizing switching noise is prioritized over minimal conduction loss |
Compared with STP14NF20 and IXTP12N20D2, IRFR13N20DCPBF offers the lowest RDS(on) among the three, delivering highest efficiency at medium loads, while maintaining balanced gate charge and proven avalanche ruggedness in production-grade SMPS designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for IRFR13N20DCPBF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C. For reliable long-term operation, keep TJ ≤ 150 °C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions. This requires proper PCB copper area (≥250 mm² drain pad), airflow ≥1 m/s, and derating ID to 9 A at TC = 100 °C per datasheet SOA curves.
Does IRFR13N20DCPBF support gate drive from a 5 V microcontroller?
No - its VGS(th) min is 2.0 V but guaranteed RDS(on) requires VGS ≥ 10 V. Driving from 5 V results in partial enhancement and excessive conduction loss (>10× rated). A dedicated gate driver (e.g., TC4420) or level-shifting circuit is mandatory for full enhancement.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification?
It is not recommended for synchronous rectification due to relatively high Qrr (38 nC) and reverse recovery time (60 ns), which cause significant switching loss and shoot-through risk. Dedicated low-Qrr Schottky or GaN FETs are preferred for SR applications above 100 kHz.
How does the "P" suffix in IRFR13N20DCPBF affect assembly?
The "P" denotes lead-free (Pb-free) construction per RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It mandates SnAgCu (SAC305) solder compatibility and requires adherence to J-STD-020 MSL1 reflow profile (peak 260 °C, 10 s), with no special pre-bake needed before assembly.
