Product details
Overview
IRFS31N20DTRL from Infineon Technologies is a 200 V, 31 A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and telecom 48 V input forward converters. It features RDS(on) = 0.082 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, Qg = 70 nC (typ), and 420 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - enabling robust switching with low conduction and gate-drive losses.
For engineers reviewing the IRFS31N20DTRL datasheet, IRFS31N20DTRL pinout, IRFS31N20DTRL application, or IRFS31N20DTRL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V VDS, 0.082 Ω on-resistance at 10 V drive, 70 nC total gate charge, 124 A pulsed drain capability, and validated avalanche ruggedness - critical for SMPS reliability under transient stress.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process and optimized cell layout to achieve low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit (FoM) of ~5.7 Ω·nC. Its fully characterized Coss(eff) = 170 pF supports accurate snubberless design in hard-switched topologies.
The device integrates a fast, low-VSD body diode (VSD = 1.3 V @ IS = 18 A, TJ = 25°C) with trr = 200–300 ns and Qrr = 1.7–2.6 µC, enabling efficient synchronous rectification and reduced commutation loss in flyback and LLC resonant converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - Withstands 48 V telecom bus transients up to ±100 V without breakdown. |
| RDS(on) | 0.082 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Delivers ≤ 28 W conduction loss at 31 A DC, enabling compact heatsink design. |
| Qg | 70 nC (typ) - Reduces gate driver power demand and enables >500 kHz switching in isolated DC-DC stages. |
| EAS | 420 mJ - Sustains unclamped inductive switching events common in boost PFC and motor drive fault conditions. |
| Coss(eff) | 170 pF - Enables predictable zero-voltage switching (ZVS) timing in resonant half-bridge designs. |
| trr | 200–300 ns - Limits reverse recovery overshoot and EMI generation during diode commutation. |
| RθJC | 0.75 °C/W - Supports ≥160 W power dissipation with standard TO-220 heatsinking (TC ≤ 100°C). |
Pinout & Package
IRFS31N20DTRL uses the industry-standard TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), rated for 300°C soldering (10 s, 1.6 mm from case) and 10 lbf·in mounting torque.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Gate | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; threshold VGS(th) = 3.0–5.5 V ensures reliable turn-on with standard PWM controllers. |
| 2 - Drain | High-side power terminal | Internally connected to metal tab; requires electrical isolation when mounted to heatsink. |
| 3 - Source | Power return & reference node | Serves as local ground for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout essential for dV/dt immunity. |
| 4 - Drain (Tab) | Thermal & power path | Provides primary heat transfer path; must be electrically isolated per JEDEC TO-220AB outline. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd) | 33–49 nC - Minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk and improves controllability in high-dV/dt environments. |
| Fully characterized effective output capacitance (Coss(eff)) | 170 pF - Enables precise dead-time calculation and ZVS optimization in resonant converters. |
| High avalanche energy rating | 420 mJ single-pulse - Eliminates need for external clamping in 48 V telecom forward converters under overload. |
| Fast body diode with low Qrr | 1.7–2.6 µC - Reduces switching loss and voltage spikes during freewheeling in synchronous buck stages. |
| Linear derating factor | 1.3 W/°C above 25°C - Allows predictable thermal margin extension up to TJ = 175°C. |
Applications
| Telecom 48 V Forward Converter | Industrial DC-DC Isolated PSU |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 48 V input, 12 V/30 A telecom forward converter operating at 250 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side main switch handling full load current with hard switching; synchronized to UC3845 controller. Use Value: 0.082 Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <2.5 W, while 70 nC Qg keeps gate drive loss <0.3 W at 250 kHz. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier in 48 V to 5 V/60 A isolated DC-DC module for PLC backplane power. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side synchronous rectifier driven by transformer-coupled gate signal; body diode conducts during dead time. Use Value: 1.3 V VSD and 200 ns trr reduce rectifier loss by 35% vs. Schottky diode, improving efficiency from 92% to 94.2%. |
| Server VRM High-Frequency Buck | Motor Drive Half-Bridge Leg |
|
Use Scenario: High-side switch in 12 V input, 1.2 V/120 A multiphase buck converter for CPU VRM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching power stage controlled by digital PWM IC; operates with 30 ns dead time. Use Value: 124 A pulsed ID capability handles phase-current peaks; 0.75 °C/W RθJC maintains TJ < 110°C under 100 A peak load. |
Use Scenario: Low-side switch in 24 V H-bridge driving 150 W BLDC fan in HVAC control unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ground-referenced switching element; body diode provides freewheeling path during PWM off-time. Use Value: 420 mJ EAS withstands inductive kickback from 200 µH motor winding without failure during emergency stop. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP30NF20 | RDS(on) = 0.085 Ω, Qg = 75 nC, EAS = 380 mJ - slightly higher conduction loss and lower avalanche margin. | Lacks full characterization of Coss(eff); less suitable for ZVS-critical resonant topologies. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive 200 V SMPS where avalanche stress is minimal and gate drive margin exists. |
| IXTH30N20P | RDS(on) = 0.075 Ω, Qg = 82 nC, EAS = 480 mJ - lower on-resistance but higher gate charge increases driver complexity. | TO-247 package requires larger PCB footprint and different heatsink interface than TO-220AB. | Preferred for higher-efficiency 200 V systems needing <0.08 Ω RDS(on), provided board space and thermal interface allow TO-247. |
Compared with STP30NF20 and IXTH30N20P, IRFS31N20DTRL delivers optimal balance of low Qg/RDS(on) FoM, validated Coss(eff), and TO-220AB compatibility - making it ideal for space-constrained, high-reliability telecom and industrial DC-DC designs.

FAQ
Is IRFS31N20DTRL suitable for 24 V automotive applications?
No - while rated for 200 V VDS, IRFS31N20DTRL is not AEC-Q101 qualified and lacks automotive-grade screening, temperature cycling validation, or guaranteed operation down to –40°C with full parameter guarantees. Its –55°C to +175°C rating covers industrial, not automotive, ambient requirements.
Can IRFS31N20DTRL replace IRFB31N20D in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical electrical specifications, thermal performance, and TO-220AB mechanical outline. IRFS31N20DTRL is the surface-mount variant of the same die; differences are limited to leadform (straight leads vs. gull-wing), not functionality or ratings.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor for 500 kHz switching?
A 5.6 Ω gate resistor is recommended for 500 kHz operation: it limits peak gate current to <1.8 A (with 10 V drive), suppresses ringing from Lg ≈ 15 nH, and achieves td(on)/td(off) ≈ 25/35 ns - balancing speed and EMI control per Fig. 10b waveforms.
Does the body diode support continuous reverse conduction?
No - the body diode is rated for pulsed source current (ISM = 124 A) and continuous source current (IS) only up to 31 A at TC = 25°C. Continuous reverse conduction exceeds safe SOA limits; external Schottky or synchronous FETs are required for bidirectional current paths.
