Product details
Overview
IRFR48ZTRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 55V, 42A N-channel DPAK (TO-252) HEXFET® Power MOSFET with 11 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 175°C junction rating, fast switching (tr = 61 ns, tf = 35 ns), and rated repetitive avalanche energy up to 74 mJ - used in DC-DC converters, motor drives, and power supply synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR48ZTRPBF datasheet, IRFR48ZTRPBF pinout, IRFR48ZTRPBF application, or IRFR48ZTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low conduction loss (8.86–11 mΩ), 175°C thermal capability, body diode recovery performance (Qrr = 14–28 nC, trr = 20–40 ns), and DPAK package suitability for high-current PCB-mount thermal management.
Technical Context
This device implements a planar silicon-gate N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET architecture optimized for high-current, medium-voltage switching. Its design integrates ultra-low RDS(on) per die area via advanced trenchless process technology and features a robust integral body diode with controlled reverse recovery characteristics.
The MOSFET supports unclamped inductive switching with validated repetitive avalanche operation up to Tjmax, enabled by thermal design margin and transient impedance profile (ZthJC). Gate charge parameters (Qg = 40–60 nC, Qgd = 15 nC) indicate moderate drive strength requirements for efficient hard-switching at frequencies up to several hundred kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; defines safe operating range in 48V bus systems. |
| RDS(on) | 8.86–11 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 42 A, critical for thermal budget in compact power stages. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 42 A - Continuous drain current limited by silicon; requires heatsinking or forced air above ~60°C case temperature. |
| tr/tf | 61 ns / 35 ns - Fast edge rates reduce switching losses in PWM applications up to 500 kHz. |
| Qrr | 14–28 nC - Low reverse recovery charge minimizes shoot-through risk and EMI in synchronous buck topologies. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Allows operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., automotive under-hood, industrial enclosures) without derating. |
| EAS | 250 mJ (tested), 74 mJ (thermally limited) - Supports reliable unclamped inductive turn-off in motor gate drivers and solenoid controls. |
Pinout & Package
IRFR48ZTRPBF uses the DPAK (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal conduction. The three-terminal configuration supports high-current PCB routing and standard reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current path output terminal | Internally connected to exposed copper pad; primary thermal path to PCB ground plane. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Low-inductance source connection (LS = 7.5 nH); critical for minimizing gate oscillation during switching. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <60 nC total charge; sensitive to ringing due to Ciss = 1720 pF. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 8.86 mΩ typical enables >96% efficiency in 48V/30A DC-DC stages at 100 kHz. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Rated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to Tjmax, eliminating need for external snubbers in relay/motor drive circuits. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 20–40 ns and Qrr = 14–28 nC support synchronous rectification without cross-conduction penalties. |
| 175°C junction rating | Enables full-rated current operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments without thermal throttling. |
Applications
| Motor Drive Half-Bridge | DC-DC Synchronous Rectifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-side/low-side switching in 24–48V brushed DC motor controllers with PWM frequencies up to 20 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side N-channel switch handling continuous 37A load current and absorbing inductive kickback during freewheeling. Use Value: 11 mΩ RDS(on) reduces I²R losses by >30% vs. legacy 20 mΩ devices, lowering heatsink mass by 40%. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectification in isolated 48V-to-12V telecom DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active rectifier replacing Schottky diode; driven complementary to primary-side switch with precise timing control. Use Value: Qrr = 14–28 nC and fast tf = 35 ns minimize dead-time losses and improve light-load efficiency by 1.2%. |
| Industrial Power Supply OR-ing | Automotive Load Switch |
Use Scenario: Redundant 24V power rail OR-ing in PLC backplanes with hot-swap capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Back-to-back configured MOSFET providing bidirectional current blocking and low-loss forward conduction. Use Value: 55V VDSS and 175°C rating ensure reliability during 40V transients and ambient temperatures up to 85°C. | Use Scenario: 12V battery-fed electronic control unit (ECU) power distribution with overcurrent and short-circuit protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side load switch controlling power to subsystems (e.g., sensors, actuators) with fast fault response. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating allows safe interruption of inductive loads (e.g., fuel injectors) without external clamping. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP40NF10L | 100V VDSS, 40A ID, 14 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package | Higher voltage margin but larger footprint and higher conduction loss; unsuitable for space-constrained DPAK layouts. | Select when 100V system transients require extra headroom and through-hole mounting is acceptable. |
| IXTP44N10P | 100V VDSS, 44A ID, 12.5 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220AB package | Higher RDS(on) and no rated repetitive avalanche; lacks body diode Qrr specification for synchronous rectification. | Prefer only in non-avalanche, non-synchronous applications where voltage margin outweighs thermal and recovery trade-offs. |
Compared with STP40NF10L and IXTP44N10P, IRFR48ZTRPBF offers superior thermal density (DPAK), lower conduction loss at 48V, and documented repetitive avalanche capability - making it optimal for compact, high-reliability switching in motor drives and DC-DC converters.

FAQ
Is IRFR48ZTRPBF lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, IRFR48ZTRPBF is lead-free and fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS-709B. The "PbF" suffix confirms lead-free termination, and the device meets halogen-free requirements per IEC 61249-2-21.
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for reliable operation?
The absolute maximum gate-to-source voltage is ±20 V, but Infineon specifies 10 V as the nominal drive level for full RDS(on) specification. Driving above 15 V provides no significant RDS(on) improvement and increases gate oxide stress risk; 12 V is the practical upper limit for robust long-term operation.
Can IRFR48ZTRPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (normalized resistance increases with junction temperature) enables stable current sharing. Layout must ensure matched gate drive loop inductance (<2 nH difference) and symmetrical thermal coupling to avoid thermal runaway.
Does the body diode support continuous conduction mode (CCM) in synchronous rectification?
Yes - the body diode is rated for continuous source current up to 37 A at TC = 25°C and exhibits controlled reverse recovery (trr = 20–40 ns, Qrr = 14–28 nC), enabling reliable CCM operation in buck-derived topologies when driven with appropriate dead-time control.
