Product details
Overview
IRFS7537PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 60V, 173A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-262 package, optimized for high-current switching in motor drives and DC/DC converters. It delivers 2.75 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, supports 700 A pulsed drain current, and features enhanced body diode dV/dt capability up to 10 V/ns at TJ = 175°C - enabling robust operation in BLDC motor half-bridge inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRFS7537PBF datasheet, IRFS7537PBF pinout, IRFS7537PBF application, or IRFS7537PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V VDS rating, 2.75 mΩ on-resistance, 142 nC total gate charge, avalanche energy rating of 270 mJ (EAS), and TO-262 thermal resistance of 0.65 °C/W junction-to-case - critical for thermally constrained high-power designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted source metallization to achieve low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit (≈390 Ω·nC). Its gate threshold voltage (2.1–3.7 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V logic-level drivers while maintaining noise immunity.
The device integrates a fast, soft-recovery body diode with 39 ns reverse recovery time (TJ = 25°C, IF = 100 A), rated for 100 A continuous source current and 700 A pulsed source current - supporting synchronous rectification and OR-ing applications without external diode supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - maximum blocking voltage compatible with 48 V nominal bus systems and 60 V automotive/industrial rails. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 2.75 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 100 A - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 100 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID cont. | 173 A at TC = 25°C - supports high-current motor phase legs and primary-side switches in resonant converters. |
| EAS | 270 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - sustains unclamped inductive switching stress in half-bridge configurations without failure. |
| Qg | 142 nC typical - determines gate drive power and switching speed; requires ≥2 A peak gate driver for <100 ns turn-on. |
| trr | 39 ns at TJ = 25°C - minimizes commutation losses and EMI in hard-switched topologies like LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge. |
| RθJC | 0.65 °C/W - enables direct mounting to heatsinks with predictable thermal rise: ΔTJ-C = 150°C at 230 W dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
IRFS7537PBF uses the TO-262 (I²PAK) package: 3-pin, single-ended, isolated tab (drain-connected), with industry-standard footprint and screw-mount compatibility. The package provides low-inductance source-drain layout and 1.1 N·m mounting torque specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current return path to high-side rail | Electrically connected to metal tab - must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits. |
| Source | Power return reference for gate drive and load current | Low-impedance connection point for Kelvin source sensing and gate driver return; critical for stable high-dI/dt switching. |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring low-inductance PCB routing; gate resistor selection directly impacts dv/dt control and ringing suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced body diode dV/dt capability | 10 V/ns at TJ = 175°C - prevents false turn-on during high-speed commutation in bridge circuits. |
| Fully characterized avalanche SOA | 270 mJ EAS and 554 mJ EAS(L=1mH) - enables design margin verification for unclamped inductive loads without derating. |
| Low Coss eff. (TR) | 880 pF - reduces capacitive turn-off loss and improves efficiency in ZVS/ZCS resonant converters. |
| Lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profile - supports lead-free manufacturing with peak temperature up to 260°C. |
| Improved dynamic dV/dt ruggedness | Rated for >50 V/ns transient immunity - suppresses parasitic turn-on in high-frequency, high-side switch applications. |
Applications
| Brushed Motor Drive | BLDC Motor Inverter |

| Synchronous Rectification | OR-ing Power Switch |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side switch in 48 V input, 12 V output LLC resonant DC/DC converter for telecom PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier replacing Schottky diode, driven by transformer-coupled gate signal synchronized to primary switching.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6F7 | 60 V, 220 A, 2.0 mΩ RDS(on), D²PAK package, higher Qg (180 nC) | Higher current rating but larger gate charge increases driver complexity and switching loss | Select when higher continuous current headroom is required and gate drive strength supports 180 nC charge |
| IXFH70N60X3 | 600 V, 70 A, 15 mΩ, TO-247 package, SiC-enhanced superjunction architecture | Designed for high-voltage, medium-current PFC and SMPS - not a drop-in replacement for 60 V systems | Choose only for 400–600 V bus applications where 60 V rating is insufficient; incompatible with 48 V motor drive layouts |
Compared with STL220N6F7 and IXFH70N60X3, IRFS7537PBF offers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and TO-262 thermal performance for 48 V motor and converter applications - whereas STL220N6F7 trades higher gate drive demand for extra current margin, and IXFH70N60X3 targets entirely different voltage-class systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The IRFS7537PBF supports continuous operation up to TC = 100°C, delivering 122 A continuous drain current at that temperature. Derating follows a linear 1.5 W/°C factor beyond 25°C case temperature, with absolute maximum junction temperature limited to +175°C. Thermal design must ensure RθJC + RθCS + RθSA keeps TJ ≤ 175°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions.
Does IRFS7537PBF require a negative gate voltage for reliable turn-off?
No - the device has a gate threshold voltage range of 2.1–3.7 V and is fully specified for 0 V turn-off. Applying –5 V to –10 V gate-source voltage improves noise immunity and reduces Miller-induced turn-on risk in high-dv/dt environments, but is not required for functional operation. Gate drive must stay within ±20 V absolute maximum ratings.
Can IRFS7537PBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (normalized resistance increases with junction temperature) enables inherent current sharing when paralleled with identical units. Successful implementation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and shared heatsinking to minimize thermal imbalance. Derate total current by 15% for two devices and 25% for three or more.
Is the body diode suitable for continuous freewheeling in hard-switched topologies?
Yes - the body diode is fully characterized for 173 A continuous source current and 700 A pulsed current, with 39 ns reverse recovery time at 25°C. However, in hard-switched applications above 50 kHz, its recovery charge (Qrr = 46 nC) contributes measurable switching loss; soft-switching or synchronous rectification is recommended for highest efficiency.
