Product details
Overview
IRFR5505TRLPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 55V, -32A, 0.048Ω P-channel MOSFET in DPAK package, optimized for high-current DC-DC conversion and load switching in industrial power supplies and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR5505TRLPBF datasheet, IRFR5505TRLPBF pinout, IRFR5505TRLPBF application, or IRFR5505TRLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at VGS = -10V, body diode reverse recovery characteristics, SOA limits under repetitive avalanche, and gate charge for synchronous rectification timing.
Technical Context
This logic-level P-channel MOSFET features a robust trench-gate structure enabling low on-resistance with fast switching transitions. Its integrated body diode supports bidirectional current flow in H-bridge configurations and exhibits controlled reverse recovery (trr = 170 ns typical) to minimize voltage overshoot during commutation.
The device operates with gate threshold voltage VGS(th) between -2.0V and -4.0V, ensuring full enhancement at standard 5V logic drive levels. It is rated for continuous drain current of -32A at TC = 25°C and supports pulsed drain current up to -120A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | -55V - Maximum blocking voltage in off-state; suitable for 48V bus systems with margin |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = -10V | 0.048Ω - Enables <1.5W conduction loss at 5.5A continuous load |
| ID (continuous) | -32A @ TC = 25°C - Requires heatsinking above 75°C case temperature |
| Qg | 42 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed trade-off |
| tr/tf | 20/35 ns - Supports >500 kHz switching in hard-switched topologies |
| EAS | 390 mJ - Specifies single-pulse avalanche energy handling capability |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252AA) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal performance; 3-pin configuration: Gate (Pin 1), Drain (Pin 2, tab), Source (Pin 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control terminal | Accepts logic-level negative voltage to turn on; requires <1.5V gate drive swing for full enhancement |
| Drain (D) | High-side current path | Connected to input rail; tab serves as primary heat sink interface and electrical connection |
| Source (S) | Reference node | Bias reference for gate drive; tied to load return or controller ground in high-side switch layout |
Key Features

|---|---|
| Lead-free and halogen-free construction | Meets RoHS 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile requirements |
| Logic-level gate drive compatibility | Full enhancement achieved with -5V gate-source voltage; eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry |
| Enhanced avalanche ruggedness | Rated for repetitive unclamped inductive switching (UIS) up to 390 mJ per pulse |
| Low gate charge | 42 nC total gate charge enables efficient driving with low-power microcontroller GPIOs |
Applications
| Industrial DC-DC Converters | Motor Drive Half-Bridge |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Synchronous rectification in isolated 48V-to-12V buck converters for programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side P-channel switch replacing Schottky diode to reduce conduction losses by >40%. Use Value: Achieves >94% efficiency at 10A output with 500 kHz switching frequency. | Use Scenario: Upper-leg switch in 24V brushed DC motor H-bridge for factory automation actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Load switching element with integrated body diode providing freewheeling path during PWM off-time.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR7843PbF | RDS(on) = 0.022Ω @ VGS = -10V; higher Qg = 62 nC | Better conduction loss but slower switching; suited for lower-frequency (<200 kHz) high-current loads | Select when thermal budget dominates over switching loss and gate drive capability permits higher Qg |
| SiHFP048P | RDS(on) = 0.045Ω @ VGS = -10V; tr/tf = 15/25 ns; lower EAS = 280 mJ | Faster switching with reduced avalanche margin; optimized for compact SMPS designs | Prefer where board space and switching frequency outweigh need for high-energy transient immunity |
Compared with IRFR5505TRLPBF, IRLL7843PbF trades faster switching for lower conduction loss and higher gate drive demand, while SiHFP048P offers tighter timing control at reduced avalanche robustness-selection depends on whether thermal, dynamic, or transient design constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for IRFR5505TRLPBF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175°C. Derating begins at TJ > 125°C, and thermal design must ensure steady-state TJ remains ≤150°C under worst-case ambient and power dissipation conditions. The DPAK package's θJA is 62°C/W on 1-in² 2-oz copper, requiring careful PCB layout for thermal management.
Does IRFR5505TRLPBF support gate drive from a 3.3V microcontroller?
No. With VGS(th) ranging from -2.0V to -4.0V and RDS(on) specified only at -10V, reliable enhancement requires ≥-5V gate drive. A 3.3V MCU cannot provide sufficient negative bias; a dedicated gate driver or level shifter is mandatory for full on-state performance.
Can IRFR5505TRLPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but with strict layout symmetry and individual gate resistors (≥10Ω) to ensure current sharing. The device's positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) aids thermal stability, yet mismatched parasitic inductance or resistance can cause imbalance above 15A per device. Thermal coupling between devices must be minimized.
Is the body diode suitable for continuous freewheeling in PWM motor control?
Yes-the body diode is rated for continuous forward current up to -32A at TC = 25°C and exhibits controlled reverse recovery (trr = 170 ns). However, its VSD = 1.3V at -32A increases conduction loss versus external Schottky diodes; use is appropriate where layout simplicity outweighs efficiency loss.
