Product details
Overview
IRFSL4229PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 250 V, 91 A (TC = 100°C), N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-262 package, featuring 42 mΩ RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V and 175°C maximum junction temperature. It delivers high repetitive peak current (300 A) and robust unclamped inductive switching capability for industrial motor drives and DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRFSL4229PBF datasheet, IRFSL4229PBF pinout, IRFSL4229PBF application, or IRFSL4229PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.45°C/W typical junction-to-case thermal resistance, 72 nC total gate charge, avalanche-rated 300 V breakdown, fast 31 ns rise time, and body diode with 190–290 ns reverse recovery time under defined conditions.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced planar silicon process technology to achieve low specific on-resistance and high cell density. Its gate threshold voltage (3.0–5.0 V) and negative temperature coefficient of VGS(th) (−14 mV/°C) support stable parallel operation across temperature ranges.
The device integrates an intrinsic fast-recovery body diode (VSD ≤ 1.3 V, Qrr = 840–1260 nC) and supports unclamped inductive switching with 33 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy at TJ = 25°C. Its SOA is limited by RDS(on) at high VDS, enabling reliable operation up to 100 µs pulse width in linear mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS Rating | 250 V - Sustains 250 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset; rated for 200 V nominal bus applications with margin. |
| RDS(on) | 42 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 26 A continuous drain current in thermally optimized layouts. |
| ID (TC = 100°C) | 91 A - Maximum continuous drain current achievable with case temperature held at 100°C using heatsink interface. |
| Qg | 72 nC typ. - Determines gate driver power requirement; enables ~100 kHz hard-switching with moderate gate resistance. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments without derating below full current rating. |
| EAS | 33 mJ - Specifies single-pulse unclamped inductive energy handling capability at TJ = 25°C, critical for flyback and H-bridge fault tolerance. |

Pinout & Package
IRFSL4229PBF is housed in a TO-262 (I²PAK) surface-mount-compatible package with isolated tab, offering low 0.45°C/W typical junction-to-case thermal resistance. The package features three leads: Gate (G), Drain (D), and Source (S), with Drain electrically connected to the metal tab for direct heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control terminal | Receives 10 V logic-level signal to fully enhance channel; requires ≥72 nC charge for full turn-on. |
| D | Drain connection / heatsink interface | High-side switching node; electrically tied to metal tab-must be insulated from chassis unless referenced to same potential. |
| S | Source return path | Common reference for gate drive and load current return; internal source bond wires carry full 91 A continuous current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qg for fast response | 72 nC total gate charge enables sub-100 ns switching transitions with standard gate drivers, reducing switching losses. |
| High repetitive peak current | 300 A pulsed rating supports short-circuit withstand in motor phase-legs and UPS inverters without immediate failure. |
| 175°C operating junction temperature | Enables sustained operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without forced air cooling. |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | Rated for repeated unclamped inductive switching events (EAR specified), improving system-level reliability over non-avalanche-rated MOSFETs. |
| Short rise/fall times | 31 ns rise time and 21 ns fall time minimize overlap conduction loss during PWM transitions at 50–100 kHz. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current, high-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW48N60M2 | 600 V VDS, 48 A ID, 60 mΩ RDS(on), TO-247 package | Higher voltage rating but lower current and higher on-resistance; requires larger heatsink for same power dissipation | Select when 600 V bus voltage or higher avalanche margin is required; not suitable for 250 V systems needing >90 A continuous current. |
| IXFH42N30P | 300 V VDS, 42 A ID, 65 mΩ RDS(on), TO-247 package | Lower current rating and higher RDS(on); lacks specified repetitive avalanche rating and 175°C TJ | Acceptable only in lower-power (<2 kW), lower-duty-cycle applications where thermal headroom is ample and fault energy is limited. |
Compared with STW48N60M2 and IXFH42N30P, IRFSL4229PBF uniquely balances 250 V rating, 91 A current, 42 mΩ on-resistance, and 175°C operation in a compact TO-262 package-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency industrial power stages where thermal and avalanche robustness are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFSL4229PBF at 100°C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies 91 A continuous drain current (ID) at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10 V. This rating assumes adequate heatsinking to maintain case temperature at or below 100°C and accounts for thermal derating above that point per Fig. 11. Operation beyond this limit risks exceeding 175°C junction temperature.
Does IRFSL4229PBF have a qualified avalanche rating for repetitive operation?
Yes-IRFSL4229PBF is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche energy (EAR) per datasheet Section "Avalanche Characteristics". While EAS = 33 mJ is specified for single-pulse conditions, the device's construction and 175°C TJ rating support controlled repetitive avalanche events in properly designed circuits with appropriate gate drive and layout.
Can IRFSL4229PBF be driven directly from a 5 V microcontroller GPIO?
No-it cannot be fully enhanced with 5 V gate drive. Its gate threshold voltage range is 3.0–5.0 V, but RDS(on) is specified at VGS = 10 V (42 mΩ). At 5 V, RDS(on) increases significantly (>150 mΩ), causing excessive conduction loss. A dedicated gate driver supplying ≥10 V is required for rated performance.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RθJC) for IRFSL4229PBF?
The typical junction-to-case thermal resistance is 0.45°C/W, measured under standard test conditions. A maximum value of 0.65°C/W is specified after 1000 thermal cycles (−55°C to +150°C) to account for die attach degradation, ensuring long-term thermal performance predictability in mission-critical applications.
