Product details
Overview
IRFS41N15DPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 150 V, 41 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D2-Pak (TO-263) package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and synchronous rectification. It features RDS(on) ≤ 45 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, 110 nC total gate charge, and fully characterized avalanche capability (EAS = 470 mJ).
For engineers reviewing the IRFS41N15DPBF datasheet, IRFS41N15DPBF pinout, IRFS41N15DPBF application, or IRFS41N15DPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Coss,eff (250 pF), fast switching (tr = 63 ns, tf = 14 ns), body diode recovery performance (trr = 170–260 ns), and thermal resistance RθJA = 40 °C/W on FR-4 PCB.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® Power MOSFET employs planar stripe cell structure with optimized gate oxide and trench-assisted edge termination to achieve stable 150 V breakdown voltage (VBRDSS ≥ 150 V) and low temperature coefficient (0.17 V/°C). Its dynamic parameters-including Qgd/Qgs ratio of ~1.7-support efficient zero-voltage switching (ZVS) in resonant topologies.
The device integrates a robust intrinsic body diode rated for 41 A continuous source current and 164 A pulsed current, with controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 1.3–1.9 µC, di/dt = 100 A/µs). Thermal design is enabled by validated RθJC = 0.75 °C/W and RθJA = 40 °C/W (1"² FR-4 board), supporting high-power density layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 150 V - Withstands 120 V bus rails with 25% margin for transient overvoltage in industrial DC-DC systems. |
| RDS(on) max | 45 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 25 A - Enables <1.1 W conduction loss at 25 A, critical for thermally constrained 1U server power supplies. |
| Qg typ | 72 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement; compatible with common 1-A peak drivers in 300–500 kHz LLC converters. |
| Coss,eff | 250 pF - Fixed capacitance modeling real VDS rise time from 0–120 V; simplifies snubberless ZVS design in half-bridge configurations. |
| tr/tf | 63 ns / 14 ns - Supports >1 MHz switching in GaN-complementary gate drive circuits without excessive EMI generation. |
| EAS | 470 mJ - Sustains unclamped inductive switching events (e.g., synchronous rectifier shoot-through) without failure at TJ = 25°C. |
| RθJA | 40 °C/W - Validated on 1"² FR-4 PCB; enables 41 A operation at TA = 70°C with no heatsink in forced-air-cooled telecom modules. |
Pinout & Package
IRFS41N15DPBF uses the D2-Pak (TO-263) surface-mount package with isolated drain tab. The package measures 10.67 × 9.65 × 4.83 mm and requires solder footprint per AN-994 for thermal reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level signal; 72 nC total charge demands low-impedance driver path to minimize switching losses. |
| D (Drain) | Main current output terminal | Internally connected to exposed copper tab; must be soldered to large PCB copper pour for thermal conduction and EMI shielding. |
| S (Source) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Shared reference for gate driver IC and shunt resistor; layout must minimize LGS to prevent oscillation during hard switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qgd/Qgs ratio | 1.7 (35/21 nC) - Reduces Miller plateau duration, enabling faster turn-off and improved hard-switching immunity. |
| Fully characterized Coss,eff | 250 pF - Eliminates iterative capacitor modeling; directly usable in resonant tank calculations for LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge designs. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant, Pb-free plating - Meets IPC-J-STD-020D reflow profile requirements for lead-free assembly without solder joint reliability degradation. |
| Enhanced avalanche ruggedness | EAS = 470 mJ - Allows operation in non-clamped topologies (e.g., active clamp forward) without external snubbers or derating. |
Applications
| Server VRM Phase Legs | Industrial DC-DC Converters |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP40NF15 | RDS(on) = 48 mΩ, Qg = 85 nC, Coss,eff not specified | Lacks published Coss,eff and avalanche energy data; requires additional snubber design effort | Preferable only if legacy qualification already exists and switching frequency < 200 kHz. |
| IXTP40N15P | RDS(on) = 42 mΩ, Qg = 68 nC, TO-220 package (RθJA = 62 °C/W) | Higher thermal resistance limits current to 22 A at 70°C ambient without heatsink | Acceptable for lower-power (<500 W), through-hole assembled designs where manual rework is preferred. |
Compared with STP40NF15 and IXTP40N15P, IRFS41N15DPBF delivers superior thermal performance (RθJA = 40 °C/W), verified Coss,eff for ZVS design, and higher avalanche robustness-making it optimal for high-density, high-reliability 500–3000 W SMPS where layout space and transient immunity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFS41N15DPBF supports 29 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the D2-Pak package under sustained high-temperature operation without forced cooling.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for safe operation?
Yes-a gate resistor (typically 2.5–10 Ω) is required to control dV/dt and suppress ringing during switching. The datasheet specifies switching times measured with RG = 2.5 Ω; omitting it risks oscillation, shoot-through, and accelerated gate oxide wear due to the 72 nC gate charge.
Can IRFS41N15DPBF be used in linear (analog) mode operation?
No-it is not characterized or rated for linear mode. The Safe Operating Area (SOA) graph shows operation is limited to pulse widths ≤10 ms at VDS = 50 V, and continuous linear use risks thermal runaway due to positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient above 100°C junction temperature.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification in LLC converters?
Yes-the body diode is fully characterized with trr = 170–260 ns and Qrr = 1.3–1.9 µC at di/dt = 100 A/µs, enabling reliable synchronous rectification in LLC topologies up to 500 kHz when paired with appropriate gate timing to minimize reverse recovery stress.
