Product details
Overview
IRFSL23N15D from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 150V, 23A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters. It delivers RDS(on) = 0.090 Ω at VGS = 10 V, features low Qgd = 19 nC and Coss(eff) = 210 pF, and supports active-clamp forward and telecom 48V input topologies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFSL23N15D datasheet, IRFSL23N15D pinout, IRFSL23N15D application, or IRFSL23N15D equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche energy rating (EAS = 260 mJ), diode recovery dv/dt capability (4.1 V/ns), gate charge profile (Qg = 37 nC typ.), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.1 °C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted charge balance to achieve low conduction loss while maintaining robust switching performance. Its fully characterized Coss across 1–120 V and effective Coss = 210 pF enable accurate snubberless soft-switching design in active-clamp and resonant topologies.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode with trr = 150 ns (typ.) and Qrr = 0.8 µC (typ.) at dI/dt = 100 A/µs, supporting synchronous rectification and bidirectional power flow in isolated DC-DC stages without external diode supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 150 V - Withstands full 48V telecom bus transients plus 200% margin in active-clamp reset circuits. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.090 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables ≤2.1 W conduction loss at 14 A DC, critical for >95% efficiency in 100–500 kHz SMPS. |
| Qg typ. | 37 nC - Determines gate drive power requirement; compatible with standard 1–2 A peak gate drivers (e.g., IR2110, UCC27531). |
| Coss(eff) | 210 pF - Represents energy stored in output capacitance during zero-voltage switching transitions; directly impacts dead-time optimization. |
| EAS | 260 mJ - Supports unclamped inductive switching events up to 14 A without failure, enabling robust overcurrent protection in flyback/forward designs. |
| trr | 150 ns - Limits reverse recovery overshoot and EMI generation during hard-commutated freewheeling in half-bridge configurations. |
| RθJC | 1.1 °C/W - Allows 136 W power dissipation at TC = 25°C; requires heatsink interface resistance ≤0.5 °C/W for 100°C junction operation. |
Pinout & Package
IRFSL23N15D uses the industry-standard TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), rated for 300°C soldering (10 s, 1.6 mm from case) and 10 lbf·in mounting torque (1.1 N·m).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Gate | Control electrode | Receives 10 V logic-level drive; threshold voltage 3.0–5.5 V ensures compatibility with 5 V and 3.3 V controllers. |
| 2 – Drain | Main current path anode | Internally connected to metal tab; electrically isolated from mounting surface per JEDEC TO-220AB spec. |
| 3 – Source | Main current path cathode / reference node | Serves as power ground return; low-inductance layout essential to minimize shoot-through risk in bridge configurations. |
| 4 – Drain (Tab) | Secondary drain connection | Provides low-impedance thermal and electrical path to heatsink; must be insulated if heatsink is grounded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 19/37 ≈ 0.51 - Reduces Miller-induced turn-off delay and improves controllability under high dV/dt conditions. |
| Fully characterized Coss vs. VDS | Coss = 120 pF @ 120 V, 1520 pF @ 1 V - Enables precise modeling of resonant tank behavior in LLC and ZVS designs. |
| Specified avalanche capability | IAR = 14 A, EAS = 260 mJ - Eliminates need for external clamping in cost-sensitive telecom power supplies. |
| Body diode trr and Qrr | trr = 150 ns, Qrr = 0.8 µC - Enables use in synchronous rectification without adding Schottky diodes in secondary-side regulation. |
Applications
| Telecom 48V Input DC-DC | Active Clamp Forward Converter |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-frequency power switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFS23N15D | Same die, D²PAK package; RθJA = 40 °C/W vs. 62 °C/W for IRFSL23N15D; no isolated tab. | Better thermal performance in PCB-mounted SMT designs; unsuitable for bolt-down heatsinking. | Select when board space permits SMT assembly and thermal interface relies on copper pour rather than mechanical heatsink. |
| STP20NM50FP | 500 V rating, higher RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω, lower Qg = 25 nC; no specified EAS or Coss(eff). | Designed for universal-input offline SMPS; lacks telecom-grade avalanche and Coss characterization. | Choose only for 230 VAC input applications where 150 V rating is insufficient; avoid in 48 V telecom due to excessive conduction loss. |
Compared with IRFS23N15D, IRFSL23N15D offers superior mechanical mounting and isolation but higher RθJA; versus STP20NM50FP, it provides verified 150 V system margin, lower RDS(on), and complete dynamic parameter characterization for high-frequency DC-DC design.

FAQ
Is IRFSL23N15D suitable for 3.3 V gate drive?
No. The gate threshold voltage range is 3.0–5.5 V, and RDS(on) is specified only at VGS = 10 V. At 3.3 V, the device remains in weak inversion with RDS(on) > 1 Ω-unsuitable for power switching. Use logic-level MOSFETs like IRLB8721 for 3.3 V drive.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies ID @ TC = 100°C as 17 A at VGS = 10 V. This value accounts for RDS(on) increase with temperature and thermal limits of the TO-220AB package; exceeding it risks thermal runaway or accelerated wear-out.
Does IRFSL23N15D have avalanche-rated operation?
Yes. It is fully characterized for single-pulse avalanche with EAS = 260 mJ at IAS = 14 A and TJ = 25°C. Repetitive avalanche is rated at EAR = 13.6 mJ. These values are measured per JEDEC JESD24-11 and documented in the datasheet's Avalanche Characteristics section.
Can the body diode be used for synchronous rectification?
Yes-the body diode has trr = 150 ns (typ.) and Qrr = 0.8 µC (typ.) at dI/dt = 100 A/µs, making it viable for low-duty-cycle freewheeling in medium-frequency half-bridge topologies. However, for high-efficiency synchronous rectification above 300 kHz, a dedicated Schottky or GaN FET is preferred.
