Product details
Overview
IRFS59N10DPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 100 V, 59 A, 0.025 Ω RDS(on) N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and half/full-bridge SMPS topologies. It features low Qgd (36 nC typ), 76 nC total gate charge, 690 pF effective output capacitance (Coss,eff), and 510 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy.
For engineers reviewing the IRFS59N10DPBF datasheet, IRFS59N10DPBF pinout, IRFS59N10DPBF application, or IRFS59N10DPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V VDSS, 59 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, 0.75 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and fully characterized dynamic parameters including Ciss/Coss/Crss and diode reverse recovery (trr = 130 ns).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon HEXFET technology with optimized cell layout to minimize switching losses in hard-switched topologies. Its low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd) and tightly controlled Coss,eff (690 pF) enable predictable zero-voltage switching (ZVS) transition timing in resonant and phase-shifted full-bridge designs.
The device integrates a robust body diode with 1.3 V forward voltage at 35.4 A and 130 ns reverse recovery time, supporting synchronous rectification and unclamped inductive switching. Avalanche-rated to 510 mJ (single pulse) and 35.4 A IAR, it sustains repetitive stress in UPS and motor control inverters without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; sets upper limit for bus voltage in 48 V–96 V DC-DC systems. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.025 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 35.4 A - Defines conduction loss at rated current; yields ≤ 44 W I²R loss at 59 A peak. |
| ID cont @ TC = 25°C | 59 A - Continuous safe operating current with heatsink; enables 1–2 kW power stages in compact TO-220 packages. |
| Qg typ | 76 nC - Total gate charge determines driver strength requirement; compatible with standard 1–2 A peak gate drivers. |
| Coss,eff | 690 pF - Effective output capacitance over 0–80 V; critical for calculating ZVS dead-time and resonant tank design. |
| EAS | 510 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; supports reliable operation under inductive turn-off faults in motor drives. |
| trr | 130 ns - Body diode reverse recovery time; limits minimum switching frequency and influences EMI in bridge-leg commutation. |
Pinout & Package
IRFS59N10DPBF uses the industry-standard TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), 3-pin lead frame, and 1.1 N·m mounting torque specification. The package provides 0.75 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and supports direct heatsink mounting via screw (6-32 or M3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Gate | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; requires <76 nC charge to fully enhance; sensitive to ESD (±30 V absolute max). |
| 2 – Drain | Main power terminal (high-side switch node) | Connected to heatsink tab; carries full load current and withstands 100 V transients; electrically tied to pin 4. |
| 3 – Source | Power return / reference node | Serves as common return for gate drive and load current; defines local ground for driver IC placement. |
| 4 – Drain | Secondary drain connection | Redundant drain path to reduce package inductance; improves current sharing and thermal spreading in high-di/dt applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 36 nC / 76 nC = 0.47 - Reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves controllability during dV/dt transitions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current 100 V power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF10 | RDS(on) = 0.028 Ω, Qg = 85 nC, Coss,eff = 780 pF | Higher conduction loss and slower switching; less suitable for >300 kHz operation | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and thermal margin exists. |
| IXTH50N10L2 | RDS(on) = 0.022 Ω, Qg = 92 nC, avalanche energy = 320 mJ | Lower RDS(on) but reduced avalanche ruggedness; requires tighter gate drive control | Selected when minimizing conduction loss is primary, and system includes active overvoltage protection. |
Compared with STP55NF10 and IXTH50N10L2, IRFS59N10DPBF delivers optimal balance of low Qgd, high avalanche energy, and stable Coss behavior-making it preferred for unclamped inductive switching and ZVS designs where reliability under transient stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFS59N10DPBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 42 A at TC = 100°C and VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating due to reduced channel conductivity and increased RDS(on) at elevated temperatures, requiring appropriate heatsinking for sustained operation.
Is IRFS59N10DPBF suitable for use in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes-its body diode has a forward voltage of 1.3 V at 35.4 A and reverse recovery time of 130 ns, enabling efficient synchronous rectification in forward and LLC converters up to 300 kHz. Gate drive must ensure fast turn-on to avoid cross-conduction, and layout must minimize source inductance to preserve trr performance.
Does IRFS59N10DPBF have an isolated package tab?
Yes-the TO-220AB package features an electrically isolated drain-connected tab, confirmed by JEDEC outline compliance and pin assignment diagram showing pins 2 and 4 both labeled "DRAIN" and connected to the metal tab. This allows direct heatsink mounting without insulating hardware when drain is at system ground or floating potential.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for hard-switched 100 kHz operation?
A 5.1 Ω gate resistor is recommended for 100 kHz hard-switched operation, balancing switching speed (tr/tf ≈ 90/12 ns) against ringing and EMI. This value limits peak gate current to ~2 A with a 10 V drive and aligns with typical 1–2 A gate driver capabilities while maintaining <10 ns propagation delay margin.
