Product details
Overview
IRFS4321PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, rated for 150 V VDSS, 12 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 85 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It serves as a high-efficiency main or synchronous rectifier switch in hard-switched DC-DC converters and UPS inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRFS4321PBF datasheet, IRFS4321PBF pinout, IRFS4321PBF application, or IRFS4321PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.43°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 71 nC total gate charge, 120 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating, and fully characterized unclamped inductive switching (UIS) capability under repetitive stress conditions.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted body diode design to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining robust avalanche performance. Its gate threshold voltage (3.0–5.0 V) and 0.8 Ω internal gate resistance support stable drive with standard 10 V logic-level gate drivers.
The device features a fast-recovery intrinsic body diode (trr = 89–130 ns, Qrr = 300–450 nC at IF = 50 A), enabling high-frequency synchronous rectification without external Schottky supplementation. Thermal derating follows a linear 2.3 W/°C slope above 25°C case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 150 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; supports 128 V bus applications with 1.3× safety margin. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 12 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, TJ = 25°C - Enables ≤10.2 W conduction loss at 85 A, critical for high-current SMPS output stages. |
| Qg | 71 nC max - Determines gate driver power requirement; compatible with common 1-A peak drivers for ≤500 kHz switching. |
| EAS | 120 mJ - Rated single-pulse avalanche energy; allows reliable operation during transient overvoltage events in motor drives. |
| trr | 89 ns typ. - Fast body diode recovery reduces switching losses and EMI in synchronous buck and LLC topologies. |
| RθJC | 0.43°C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting with minimal thermal interface resistance for high-power density designs. |
Pinout & Package
IRFS4321PBF uses the surface-mount D2PAK (TO-263) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The three terminals are arranged in standard G-D-S configuration on the bottom side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current path from source to load | Exposed copper pad on underside - must be soldered to PCB thermal plane for effective heat transfer and low-inductance return path. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Connected to power ground; used for low-side current monitoring via shunt resistor placed between S and system ground. |
| Gate (G) | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <100 nA leakage; driven by 10 V logic signal to ensure full enhancement and minimize RDS(on). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) with high VDSS | 12 mΩ at 150 V enables >97% efficiency in 48 V input, 12 V output 100 A synchronous rectifiers. |
| Fully characterized avalanche SOA | 120 mJ EAS validated across temperature and pulse width ensures reliability in unclamped inductive turn-off events. |
| Optimized body diode recovery | 89 ns trr and 300 nC Qrr reduce reverse recovery losses by ≥40% vs. legacy MOSFETs in 200–500 kHz SMPS. |
| Robust 30 V gate rating | Withstands ±30 V gate-source transients without degradation, simplifying gate driver protection in noisy industrial environments. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP140N10F7 | 100 V VDSS, 5.5 mΩ RDS(on), 140 A ID, 105 nC Qg | Limited to ≤100 V bus systems; higher current rating but lower avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 65 mJ) | Select when lower conduction loss at ≤100 V is prioritized over 150 V headroom and UIS robustness. |
| IXFH32N15X3 | 150 V VDSS, 22 mΩ RDS(on), 32 A ID, 45 nC Qg, TO-247 package | Lower gate charge improves high-frequency efficiency but reduced current capacity and larger footprint | Choose for space-constrained 200–300 kHz resonant converters where gate drive loss dominates over conduction loss. |
Compared with STP140N10F7 and IXFH32N15X3, IRFS4321PBF uniquely balances 150 V rating, 85 A current, and 120 mJ avalanche energy-making it optimal for industrial UPS and motor drives where both voltage margin and transient ruggedness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFS4321PBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 60 A at TC = 100°C, derived from thermal limits and RDS(on) derating. This value reflects safe operation without exceeding TJ(max) = 175°C when mounted on a heatsink with ≤0.43°C/W total thermal resistance from junction to ambient.
Can IRFS4321PBF be used in avalanche mode for repetitive operation?
Yes-its fully characterized avalanche SOA permits repetitive unclamped inductive switching (UIS) as long as per-pulse energy remains ≤120 mJ and average power dissipation stays within thermal limits. Figure 15 in the datasheet provides validated curves for 1% duty cycle and single-pulse conditions.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification without external Schottky diodes?
Yes-the intrinsic body diode has trr = 89 ns and Qrr = 300 nC at IF = 50 A, enabling clean commutation in synchronous buck and LLC converters up to 500 kHz. No external diode is required if gate timing avoids cross-conduction.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for hard-switched 100 kHz operation?
A 5–10 Ω gate resistor is recommended to balance switching speed and ringing suppression. With Qg = 71 nC and typical driver rise time of 20 ns, this yields ~1.4–2.8 A peak gate current and dV/dt control sufficient for EMI compliance in industrial 48 V–400 V systems.
