Product details
Overview
IRFS4228PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 150 V, 170 A, 12 mΩ N-channel D2PAK-3L Power MOSFET optimized for plasma display panel (PDP) sustain, energy recovery, and pass switch circuits. It features low EPULSE rating (≤120 µJ at 100°C), 71 nC total gate charge, and 175°C maximum junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the IRFS4228PBF datasheet, IRFS4228PBF pinout, IRFS4228PBF application, or IRFS4228PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche ruggedness (180 V repetitive avalanche voltage), fast switching (tr = 59 ns, tf = 33 ns), body diode performance (trr = 76–110 ns, Qrr = 230–350 nC), and thermal robustness (RθJC = 0.45°C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced HEXFET® process technology with optimized charge distribution for high-repetition-rate PDP sustain discharge control. Its low RDS(on) and low QG enable efficient high-frequency switching in resonant energy recovery topologies where precise pulse energy control is critical.
The device integrates a robust intrinsic body diode with controlled reverse recovery (Qrr ≤ 350 nC) and supports unclamped inductive switching up to 180 V avalanche voltage. Thermal design is enabled by its low junction-to-case resistance and validated 1000-cycle temperature cycling endurance (−55°C to +150°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS (min) | 150 V - Withstands sustained drain-source voltage up to rated breakdown without conduction. |
| RDS(on) (typ @ 10 V) | 12 mΩ - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 100 A, critical for high-current PDP sustain stages. |
| ID (cont @ TC=100°C) | 170 A - Sustains full-rated current at elevated case temperatures common in compact PDP power modules. |
| Qg (typ) | 71 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables fast turn-on (<18 ns delay) in high-duty-cycle applications. |
| EPULSE (max @ TC=100°C) | 120 µJ - Limits single-pulse energy dissipation during transient overloads, improving reliability in energy recovery circuits. |
| TJ (max) | 175°C - Supports operation in thermally constrained PDP chassis environments without derating. |
| tr / tf | 59 ns / 33 ns - Enables sub-100 ns switching transitions essential for >200 kHz sustain frequency operation. |
Pinout & Package
IRFS4228PBF is housed in a surface-mount D2PAK-3L (TO-263-3) package with isolated heatsink tab. The package provides low thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.45°C/W) and mechanical robustness for high-power switching modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control input | Receives 10 V logic-level drive to fully enhance channel; threshold voltage 3.0–5.0 V ensures noise margin in noisy PDP environments. |
| D (Drain) | High-side power output | Connected to PDP sustain bus; rated for 150 V DC and 180 V repetitive avalanche during flyback recovery. |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference | Serves as common return for gate drive and load current; internal source inductance (7.5 nH) impacts di/dt-induced voltage spikes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low EPULSE rating | ≤120 µJ at 100°C - Minimizes localized die heating during repetitive energy recovery pulses, extending lifetime in PDP sustain drivers. |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | Rated 180 V, 170 A - Allows safe operation under unclamped inductive switching conditions without external snubbers in resonant topologies. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 76–110 ns, Qrr = 230–350 nC - Reduces commutation losses and EMI in bidirectional energy transfer paths of PDP sustain circuits. |
| High-temperature ruggedness | 175°C TJ max + 0.65°C/W end-of-life RθJC - Maintains stable on-resistance and gate threshold across extended thermal cycles in sealed display enclosures. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current, high-voltage power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW90NF20 | 200 V VDS, 90 A ID, 20 mΩ RDS(on), TO-247 package | Higher voltage margin but lower current rating and higher on-resistance; requires larger heatsink area | Preferred when system voltage exceeds 160 V but peak current stays below 90 A |
| IXFH170N15T2 | 150 V VDS, 170 A ID, 11.5 mΩ RDS(on), TO-247-3 package | Lower RDS(on) and faster Qgd, but no specified EPULSE rating or PDP-optimized avalanche testing | Selected for general-purpose 150 V inverters where PDP-specific energy pulse validation is not required |
Compared with STW90NF20 and IXFH170N15T2, IRFS4228PBF uniquely combines PDP-validated EPULSE performance, low-Qg timing control, and D2PAK thermal efficiency-making it irreplaceable in space-constrained, high-repetition sustain driver modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for IRFS4228PBF?
The absolute maximum gate-to-source voltage is ±30 V, but the device is characterized and optimized for 10 V enhancement. Driving above 15 V yields diminishing RDS(on) improvement while increasing gate oxide stress and risk of parasitic turn-on in high-dV/dt environments typical of PDP sustain circuits.
Does IRFS4228PBF require a gate resistor for reliable operation?
Yes - a 2.5 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for switching time characterization and EMI control. This value balances turn-on speed (reducing conduction loss) against shoot-through risk and gate oscillation, especially when driving in parallel or with high di/dt loads like PDP sustain transformers.
Can IRFS4228PBF be used in synchronous rectification applications?
No - its body diode is optimized for unidirectional recovery in PDP sustain, not for bidirectional conduction. Reverse recovery parameters (Qrr, trr) are not characterized for synchronous rectifier duty, and its SOA does not guarantee safe operation under reverse-biased gate conditions required in SR topologies.
Is the D2PAK-3L package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the "PbF" suffix confirms lead-free termination and full compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The package uses matte tin plating over copper leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) for standard PCB assembly processes.
