Product details
Overview
IRFR5505TRL from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a P-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-252AA (D-Pak) surface-mount package, rated for -55 V VDS, 0.11 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = -10 V, and -18 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It features fully avalanche-rated ruggedness, fast switching (tr = 28 ns), and low gate charge (Qg = 32 nC), enabling use in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and load-switching circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR5505TRL datasheet, IRFR5505TRL pinout, IRFR5505TRL application, or IRFR5505TRL equivalent, key selection criteria include verified P-channel logic-level compatibility, junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2.2°C/W, body diode reverse recovery time (trr = 51–77 ns), and SOA-limited operation up to -28 V and -9.6 A in pulse conditions.
Technical Context
This device employs fifth-generation HEXFET processing to achieve ultra-low on-resistance per die area while maintaining robust avalanche energy handling (EAS = 150 mJ). Its P-channel topology enables high-side switching without level-shifting circuitry in low-voltage systems.
The D-Pak package supports PCB-mount vapor-phase and infrared reflow, with thermal performance validated under 1"² FR-4 board conditions (RθJA = 50°C/W). Internal source/drain inductances (LS = 7.5 nH, LD = 4.5 nH) are characterized to support accurate switching loss modeling in synchronous buck or OR-ing applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | -55 V - Maximum blocking voltage in high-side switch configurations |
| RDS(on) | 0.11 Ω @ VGS = -10 V - Enables <1.1 W conduction loss at -10 A continuous load |
| ID (continuous) | -18 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-current load switching on thermally enhanced PCBs |
| Qg | 32 nC - Determines gate drive power requirement and switching speed in PWM control |
| tr/tf | 28 ns / 16 ns - Limits switching transition losses in 100–500 kHz power stages |
| EAS | 150 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche capability for inductive load turn-off protection |
| trr | 51–77 ns - Critical for minimizing body-diode conduction loss in synchronous rectification |
Pinout & Package
IRFR5505TRL uses the TO-252AA (D-Pak) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain, Pin 3 = Source, Pin 4 = Drain (common with Pin 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives negative VGS to turn on; threshold range -2.0 to -4.0 V ensures compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V logic drivers |
| 2 & 4 (Drain) | Main current path (high-side) | Internally connected to exposed copper pad; must be routed to high-voltage node and thermally coupled to PCB copper pour |
| 3 (Source) | Reference terminal | Connects to system ground or load return; defines VGS reference and carries full load current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.11 Ω reduces I²R losses by >30% vs. comparable -55 V P-channel MOSFETs in 12 V bus applications |
| Fully avalanche rated | 150 mJ EAS eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching (e.g., solenoid drivers) |
| Fast body diode | trr = 51–77 ns and Qrr = 110–160 nC minimize cross-conduction loss in synchronous buck topologies |
| Surface-mount D-Pak | TO-252AA footprint enables automated assembly and 57 W power dissipation with proper PCB copper area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR9343PbF | RDS(on) = 0.027 Ω @ VGS = -4.5 V; lower voltage rating (-30 V); smaller D-Pak variant | Better suited for 3.3 V logic-driven 5–12 V systems; insufficient for 24 V+ bus isolation | Select when gate drive is limited to ≤ -4.5 V and VDS stress remains < -25 V |
| DMG6968UVT-7 | RDS(on) = 0.035 Ω @ VGS = -4.5 V; -30 V rating; 1.2 mm height TSOP-6 package | Space-constrained designs requiring ultra-low profile; lacks avalanche rating and thermal mass for >5 A continuous loads | Choose for compact consumer electronics where board space outweighs ruggedness requirements |
Compared with IRFR5505TRL, IRFL9343PbF offers significantly lower on-resistance at logic-level drive but sacrifices voltage margin and avalanche robustness, while DMG6968UVT-7 prioritizes miniaturization over thermal handling and transient survivability-making IRFR5505TRL optimal for industrial 24–48 V systems demanding reliability under load dump or inductive kick.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for IRFR5505TRL in continuous DC operation?
The absolute maximum VDS is -55 V, but continuous operation should remain below -44 V to maintain margin against transients and temperature-induced drift. Derating is required above TJ = 25°C; at 100°C junction temperature, the recommended max VDS drops to -38 V per SOA curve limitations in Figure 8.
Can IRFR5505TRL be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No-its gate threshold voltage range is -2.0 V to -4.0 V, and RDS(on) is specified only at VGS = -10 V. At -3.3 V, the device operates in weak inversion with RDS(on) > 1.2 Ω, causing excessive heating. A dedicated gate driver or level shifter is required for reliable switching.
How does the body diode performance impact synchronous rectifier design?
The body diode has VSD = -1.6 V at -9.6 A and trr = 51–77 ns, resulting in measurable conduction and recovery losses. In synchronous rectification, this necessitates precise timing control to avoid shoot-through, and the Qrr = 110–160 nC contributes directly to switching loss during dead-time transitions.
Is IRFR5505TRL RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-IRFR5505TRL is manufactured per RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The "PbF" suffix in alternate part numbers (e.g., IRFR5505PbF) explicitly denotes lead-free finish; the TRL tape-and-reel variant complies with the same environmental specifications.
