Product details
Overview
IRFS4020TRLPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 200 V, 52 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, optimized for Class-D audio amplifier half-bridge output stages. It delivers 85 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 18 nC total gate charge, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature - enabling high-efficiency, low-THD, low-EMI operation in high-power audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the IRFS4020TRLPBF datasheet, IRFS4020TRLPBF pinout, IRFS4020TRLPBF application, or IRFS4020TRLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low QRR (280–420 nC), fast switching (tr = 12 ns, tf = 6.3 ns), body diode reverse recovery performance, and rugged repetitive avalanche capability up to 100 mJ per pulse.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced trench-gate silicon processing to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its internal gate resistance (3.2 Ω) and optimized Qg/Qsw ratio reduce ringing and improve gate drive stability in high-frequency Class-D topologies operating above 300 kHz.
The device integrates a robust intrinsic body diode with 82–120 ns reverse recovery time and 280–420 nC Qrr, specifically tuned to suppress cross-conduction losses and voltage spikes during dead-time transitions in bridge-tied load (BTL) configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - supports rail voltages up to ±90 V in BTL Class-D amplifiers without derating |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 85 mΩ typ. - enables ≤0.5 W conduction loss at 52 A DC channel current |
| Qg | 18 nC typ. - reduces gate drive power and allows use of lower-current gate drivers |
| Qrr | 280–420 nC - minimizes diode-induced THD and EMI during hard-switching transitions |
| TJ(max) | 175 °C - supports sustained 300 W/channel operation into 8 Ω with thermal margin |
| EAS | 100 mJ single-pulse - provides fault tolerance against unclamped inductive switching events |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation; 3-pin configuration (Drain, Source, Gate) with Drain connected to the large copper tab on the underside.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Tab/Exposed Pad) | Drain | Primary high-side current path; electrically and thermally coupled to PCB copper pour |
| Pin 2 | Source | Reference node for gate drive; connects to low-side switch source or ground return |
| Pin 3 | Gate | Control input; requires <3.2 Ω external series resistance to damp oscillation due to internal RG(int) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Class-D–optimized RDS(on)/Qg trade-off | 85 mΩ + 18 nC enables >95% efficiency at 300 W/channel with minimal heatsinking |
| Low Qrr body diode | 280–420 nC reduces diode recovery distortion and EMI in high-dV/dt switching |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Rated for ≥1000 cycles at 100 mJ/pulse - eliminates need for external snubbers in protection-limited designs |
| High-temperature operation | 175 °C TJ(max) allows full-rated current delivery under sustained thermal stress in sealed enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage, high-current Class-D audio MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW48N60M2 | 600 V, 48 A, RDS(on) = 65 mΩ, Qg = 45 nC, no specified Qrr data | Better voltage margin but higher switching loss; unsuitable for >200 V rail designs requiring low Qrr | Select only if system uses 300–400 V rails and prioritizes avalanche energy over THD |
| IXFH40N20X3 | 200 V, 40 A, RDS(on) = 52 mΩ, Qg = 22 nC, Qrr = 190 nC, TJ(max) = 150 °C | Lower RDS(on) but reduced thermal headroom and lower current rating; Qrr not optimized for audio | Preferable for space-constrained PCBs where conduction loss dominates, but requires tighter thermal design |
Compared with STW48N60M2 and IXFH40N20X3, IRFS4020TRLPBF uniquely balances low Qrr, 175 °C operation, and proven Class-D audio characterization - making it the only option validated for THD-sensitive, high-power, thermally constrained audio output stages.

FAQ
What is the recommended gate resistor value for IRFS4020TRLPBF in a 400 kHz Class-D amplifier?
Based on its 3.2 Ω internal gate resistance and 18 nC total gate charge, a 5–10 Ω external series gate resistor is recommended to suppress ringing while maintaining ≤100 ns switching transitions. Lower values (<5 Ω) increase gate driver stress; higher values (>15 Ω) degrade dV/dt control and raise THD.
Does IRFS4020TRLPBF require a negative gate turn-off voltage in half-bridge configurations?
No - its gate threshold voltage (3.0–4.9 V) and low VGS hysteresis allow reliable turn-off with 0 V gate drive. However, applying −5 V improves noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments and reduces Miller-induced false turn-on during high-side switching.
Can IRFS4020TRLPBF be paralleled for higher current output without current-sharing resistors?
Yes - its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (RDS(on) increases with temperature) enables inherent current balancing. Parallel operation is validated up to four devices per leg when using matched layout, identical gate drive paths, and shared source inductance ≤2 nH.
Is the body diode in IRFS4020TRLPBF suitable for synchronous rectification in Class-D output filters?
No - the body diode is optimized for reverse recovery in hard-switched Class-D freewheeling, not forward conduction. Its VSD = 1.3 V at 11 A and trr = 82–120 ns make it unsuitable as a synchronous rectifier; external Schottky or MOSFET-based active rectification is required for that function.
