Product details
Overview
IRFR18N15DTRRP from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 150 V, 18 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and active-clamp forward topologies. It features 0.125 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 28 nC typical total gate charge, and fully characterized Coss,eff = 95 pF for simplified snubberless design in telecom 48 V input power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR18N15DTRRP datasheet, IRFR18N15DTRRP pinout, IRFR18N15DTRRP application, or IRFR18N15DTRRP equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (200 mJ), diode reverse recovery performance (Qrr = 660–980 nC), gate charge profile, and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.4 °C/W) for SMPS layout and thermal management.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device uses planar vertical DMOS structure with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted edge termination to achieve stable 150 V breakdown voltage (V(BR)DSS) and low temperature coefficient (0.17 V/°C). Its gate threshold voltage (3.0–5.5 V) ensures robust noise immunity in high-noise switching environments.
The MOSFET integrates a fast-recovery body diode with trr = 130–190 ns and VSD = 1.3 V at IS = 11 A, enabling efficient synchronous rectification and active-clamp reset operation without external diodes in forward converter designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 150 V - Withstands up to 150 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche conduction. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.125 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 11 A - Determines conduction loss and junction temperature rise under full-load conditions. |
| Qg typ | 28 nC - Defines gate drive energy requirement and switching speed in hard-switched topologies. |
| Coss,eff | 95 pF - Effective output capacitance over 0–120 V range; used directly in resonant timing and soft-switching loss calculations. |
| EAS | 200 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; enables reliable operation during inductive turn-off transients without external clamping. |
| RθJC | 1.4 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; critical for heatsink sizing when mounted on PCB copper pour or external heatsink. |
| trr | 130–190 ns - Body diode reverse recovery time; impacts shoot-through risk and EMI in bridge configurations. |
Pinout & Package
IRFR18N15DTRRP is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The package supports standard reflow profiles and offers low-profile mounting for space-constrained power stages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal (S) | Reference node for gate drive; connects to power ground or low-side switch node in half-bridge. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control terminal (G) | High-impedance input controlling channel conduction; requires <30 V absolute max gate-source voltage. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Power terminal (D) | Exposed copper pad on bottom surface; carries full load current and serves as primary thermal path to PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 14/28 nC = 0.5 - Reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves controllability during hard commutation. |
| Fully characterized Coss vs. VDS | 1160 pF @ 1 V, 88 pF @ 120 V - Enables accurate modeling of capacitive turn-on loss and ZVS boundary prediction. |
| Avalanche-rated | 200 mJ single-pulse, 11 A IAR - Eliminates need for external RCD clamp in active-clamp forward and flyback converters. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant, Pb-free terminations - Meets global environmental compliance requirements without derating. |
Applications
| Telecom DC-DC Converters | Active-Clamp Forward Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48 V input, 12 V/30 A isolated DC-DC module for base station power distribution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side high-side switch operating at 200–500 kHz with zero-voltage switching assistance. Use Value: Low Coss,eff and controlled Qgd enable reliable ZVS across line/load range, reducing switching losses by >35% vs. legacy MOSFETs. | Use Scenario: 380 V bus, 48 V output active-clamp forward converter in server PSU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main power switch handling clamp energy recycling and main power transfer phases. Use Value: 200 mJ EAS rating allows safe clamp capacitor discharge into drain without external snubber, simplifying magnetics design. |
| Industrial SMPS | Motor Drive Half-Bridge Stages |
Use Scenario: 24–48 V input industrial AC/DC front-end with PFC + LLC secondary stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier in LLC resonant converter. Use Value: Fast body diode (trr ≤ 190 ns) and low VSD (1.3 V) minimize conduction loss during dead-time conduction. | Use Scenario: 24 V BLDC motor driver with integrated gate drivers and current sensing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in half-bridge driving 10 A peak phase current. Use Value: RDS(on) = 0.125 Ω limits I²R loss to <1.3 W at 10 A, enabling compact thermal design without forced air. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-frequency power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP18NF15 | RDS(on) = 0.14 Ω, Qg = 32 nC, no published Coss,eff data | Higher conduction loss; less predictable soft-switching behavior due to uncharacterized Coss curve | Preferable only if STMicroelectronics supply chain alignment is required and thermal margin ≥15°C exists. |
| IXTP18N15X4 | RDS(on) = 0.115 Ω, Qg = 24 nC, EAS = 140 mJ | Lower gate charge improves switching efficiency but reduced avalanche capability limits clamp reliability | Use where gate drive strength is constrained and inductive stress is actively limited via control loop. |
Compared with STP18NF15 and IXTP18N15X4, IRFR18N15DTRRP uniquely balances low RDS(on), fully specified Coss,eff, and industry-leading 200 mJ avalanche rating-making it optimal for unclamped inductive switching in telecom and industrial SMPS where reliability trumps marginal efficiency gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFR18N15DTRRP supports 13 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the D-Pak package and must be validated against actual PCB copper area and ambient airflow in the target application.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for safe operation?
A gate resistor (typically 6.8 Ω, per datasheet test condition) is required to dampen ringing and control dV/dt during switching transitions. Without it, parasitic inductance in the gate loop may cause oscillation, false triggering, or accelerated gate oxide degradation under high di/dt conditions.
Can IRFR18N15DTRRP be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (0.17 V/°C) enables inherent current sharing when paralleled. However, matched gate drive layout, symmetrical source inductance, and thermal coupling between devices are mandatory to prevent current imbalance and localized overheating.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification?
The integrated body diode has trr = 130–190 ns and VSD = 1.3 V at 11 A, making it usable for synchronous rectification in medium-frequency (<300 kHz) topologies. For higher frequencies or lower loss, an external Schottky diode or dedicated SR controller is recommended.
