Product details
Overview
IRFR9N20DPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 200V, 9.4A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in D-Pak package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters with low RDS(on) (0.38 Ω @ VGS = 10 V), low gate charge (18–27 nC), and robust avalanche capability (100 mJ single-pulse). It serves as a primary switch in telecom 48V forward converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR9N20DPBF datasheet, IRFR9N20DPBF pinout, IRFR9N20DPBF application, or IRFR9N20DPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200V VDS, 0.38Ω RDS(on), 18–27nC total gate charge, 5.0 V/ns diode recovery dv/dt rating, and D-Pak thermal performance (RθJC = 1.75°C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon HEXFET architecture with fully characterized output capacitance (Coss = 97 pF @ VDS = 25 V; Coss,eff = 74 pF over 0–160 V), enabling accurate snubberless flyback and forward converter design. Its gate threshold voltage (3.0–5.5 V) ensures stable turn-on under wide supply conditions.
Dynamic switching behavior is defined by measured parameters: td(on) = 7.5 ns, tr = 16 ns, td(off) = 13 ns, tf = 9.3 ns (ID = 5.6 A, VDD = 100 V, RG = 11 Ω), and body diode reverse recovery time (trr = 130 ns, Qrr = 560 nC at dI/dt = 100 A/µs), critical for synchronous rectification and ZVS topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - Withstands up to 200 V drain-source blocking voltage, suitable for 48V telecom input systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.38 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 5.6 A - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 5.6 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Qg | 18–27 nC - Low gate drive energy supports >500 kHz switching without excessive driver loss. |
| EAS | 100 mJ - Rated unclamped inductive avalanche energy allows reliable operation during transient overloads. |
| RθJC | 1.75 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables 86 W continuous dissipation with adequate heatsinking. |
| trr | 130 ns - Body diode recovery time impacts cross-conduction loss in half-bridge configurations. |
| dv/dt | 5.0 V/ns - Peak diode recovery dv/dt rating defines maximum allowable voltage slew rate during commutation. |
Pinout & Package
IRFR9N20DPBF uses the surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal transfer. The three terminals are arranged in standard D-Pak layout: Pin 1 = Gate, Pin 2 = Drain (tab), Pin 3 = Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level signal to fully enhance channel; threshold 3.0–5.5 V ensures compatibility with 5 V/3.3 V controllers. |
| Drain (D) | High-side power terminal | Connected to PCB copper pour via exposed tab; carries full load current and dissipates heat directly to board. |
| Source (S) | Reference node | Serves as return path for drain current and gate drive reference; ties to power ground in low-side switch configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd) | 9.0–14 nC - Reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency. |
| Fully characterized Coss,eff | 74 pF - Enables precise calculation of resonant timing and zero-voltage switching points. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant termination with Pb-free plating - Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1). |
| Robust body diode | trr = 130 ns, Qrr = 560 nC - Supports freewheeling in non-synchronous buck and flyback converters without external diode. |
Applications
| Telecom Forward Converter | Industrial DC-DC Module |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PWM-controlled high-side switch regulating average LED current at 1–10 kHz. Use Value: 200 V VDS accommodates peak line voltage surges; low RDS(on) minimizes thermal derating at ambient >70°C. | Use Scenario: Upper-leg switch in 24V brushed DC motor H-bridge for HVAC actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side driver in discrete half-bridge pair, controlled by bootstrap gate driver (e.g., IR2104). Use Value: 5.0 V/ns dv/dt rating prevents false turn-on during fast voltage transitions; 130 ns trr reduces shoot-through risk during dead-time. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP9NK20ZFP | VDS = 200 V, RDS(on) = 0.42 Ω, Qg = 22 nC, TO-220FP package | Through-hole mounting; higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss by ~10% at 5.6 A | Preferred where through-hole reliability or manual rework is required; not drop-in compatible due to package and pinout. |
| IXTP9N20P | VDS = 200 V, RDS(on) = 0.36 Ω, Qg = 20 nC, TO-220 package | Larger thermal resistance (RθJC = 2.5°C/W); requires larger heatsink for same power dissipation | Used when higher surge current tolerance (IDM = 45 A vs. 38 A) is prioritized over board space and thermal performance. |
Compared with STP9NK20ZFP and IXTP9N20P, IRFR9N20DPBF offers superior thermal performance (RθJC = 1.75°C/W), smaller D-Pak footprint, and lower gate charge-making it optimal for high-density, high-frequency SMPS designs where board area and switching loss are critical.

FAQ
Is IRFR9N20DPBF suitable for 5 V gate drive?
No. Its gate threshold voltage range is 3.0–5.5 V, but full enhancement requires VGS ≥ 10 V to achieve rated RDS(on) of 0.38 Ω. At 5 V, RDS(on) rises significantly (>1.2 Ω), increasing conduction loss and thermal stress. A dedicated gate driver (e.g., TC4427) or 10–12 V supply is required.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies ID = 6.7 A at TC = 100°C and VGS = 10 V. This reflects thermal derating from the 9.4 A rating at 25°C, based on RθJC = 1.75°C/W and maximum junction temperature of 175°C. Operation above this current requires active cooling or reduced ambient temperature.
Does IRFR9N20DPBF have avalanche ruggedness for inductive load switching?
Yes. It is fully specified for unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 100 mJ (single-pulse) and IAR = 5.6 A. These ratings are validated per JEDEC JESD24-11 and enable safe operation in relay drivers, solenoid controls, and flyback converters without external snubbers under defined test conditions.
Can IRFR9N20DPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, but with careful attention to gate drive symmetry and current sharing. Its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient promotes inherent current balancing above 50°C junction temperature. Use matched gate resistors (≤1 Ω difference), symmetrical PCB layout, and individual gate resistors (10–22 Ω) to minimize oscillation and ensure simultaneous turn-on/turn-off.
