Product details
Overview
IRFU110 from Vishay Siliconix is a 100 V, 4.3 A N-channel Power MOSFET in IPAK (TO-251) package with 0.54 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 8.3 nC total gate charge, and repetitive avalanche rating-designed for DC-DC converters, motor control, and power supply switching stages.
For engineers reviewing the IRFU110 datasheet, IRFU110 pinout, IRFU110 application, or IRFU110 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 75 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, fast 6.9 ns turn-on delay, and compatibility with standard gate drivers due to simple drive requirements and low Qgs/Qgd ratio.
Technical Context
The IRFU110 operates as a unidirectional voltage-controlled switch with enhancement-mode N-channel topology, optimized for hard-switched topologies requiring ruggedness against unclamped inductive switching. Its dynamic dV/dt rating of 5.5 V/ns and body diode reverse recovery time of 100–200 ns support reliable operation in flyback and buck configurations.
It features third-generation silicon process enabling low on-resistance without sacrificing switching speed or avalanche robustness. The device supports parallel operation via matched threshold voltage (2.0–4.0 V) and low thermal resistance, and integrates a co-packaged body diode with 2.5 V forward drop at 1.5 A and 12 A pulsed capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - maximum blocking voltage for 24 V/48 V input systems with margin |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.54 Ω - enables <1.0 W conduction loss at 1.4 A RMS in continuous conduction mode |
| Qg | 8.3 nC - determines gate driver current requirement (~0.8 mA avg. at 100 kHz) |
| ID @ TC = 25 °C | 4.3 A - usable continuous current with heatsink; derates linearly above 25 °C |
| EAS | 75 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive energy in relay/snubberless designs |
| RthJC | 5.0 °C/W - allows direct mounting to PCB copper pour or small heatsink for thermal management |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–4.0 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level gate drivers |
Pinout & Package
IRFU110 uses the IPAK (TO-251) surface-mount package with straight leads and drain-connected tab for thermal and electrical connection. The case is electrically connected to the drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Control electrode; requires ≤ ±20 V bias; low 2.3 nC Qgs enables fast turn-on |
| D | Drain | Main high-side current path; internally connected to metal tab for thermal dissipation |
| S | Source | Reference node for gate drive; source inductance LS = 6.0 nH affects switching ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Supports 4.3 A IAR and 2.5 mJ EAR without derating-enables robust overvoltage protection in inductive loads |
| Dynamic dV/dt rating | 5.5 V/ns immunity prevents false turn-on during high-speed switching transients |
| Fast switching | 6.9 ns td(on), 16 ns tr, 15 ns td(off), 9.4 ns tf - reduces switching losses below 200 kHz |
| Ease of paralleling | Matched VGS(th) and positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient ensure current sharing across multiple devices |
| Simple drive requirements | Low 8.3 nC Qg and 2.3 nC Qgs allow use with microcontroller GPIO or low-power gate drivers |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | Brushed DC Motor Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down regulation from 48 V bus to 12 V for industrial sensors and actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side synchronous rectifier switch operating at 100–500 kHz.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP1NK60Z | 600 V VDS, 1 A ID, higher RDS(on) (7.5 Ω), Zener-protected gate | Better suited for high-voltage flyback snubber circuits; not interchangeable in 100 V, >2 A loads | Select only when primary need is 600 V blocking with integrated gate protection-not for IRFU110's 100 V/4.3 A role |
| IRFZ44NPbF | 55 V VDS, 49 A ID, lower RDS(on) (0.028 Ω), TO-220 package | Higher current, lower voltage rating; larger footprint and different thermal path | Use where 55 V system voltage and higher current capacity are acceptable-and TO-220 mounting is feasible |
Compared with STP1NK60Z and IRFZ44NPbF, the IRFU110 uniquely balances 100 V rating, 4.3 A current, IPAK footprint, and 0.54 Ω on-resistance-making it optimal for space-constrained 24–48 V industrial power stages where thermal performance and avalanche ruggedness are prioritized over ultra-low RDS(on) or extreme voltage rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFU110 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRFU110 supports 2.7 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, per its absolute maximum ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the IPAK package and must be validated against actual board layout, copper area, and ambient conditions. The IRFU110 datasheet specifies a linear derating factor of 0.2 W/°C above 25 °C, and the IRFU110's RthJC of 5.0 °C/W enables predictable junction temperature estimation in thermally managed designs.
Does IRFU110 have a built-in body diode, and what are its key parameters?
Yes, the IRFU110 integrates a parasitic body diode inherent to its vertical N-channel MOSFET structure. Key parameters include 2.5 V forward voltage (VSD) at 1.5 A and 25 °C, 100–200 ns reverse recovery time (trr), and 0.44–0.88 μC reverse recovery charge (Qrr). These values are measured with IF = 5.6 A and dI/dt = 100 A/μs, making the IRFU110 suitable for freewheeling in low-frequency PWM applications-but not recommended for high-frequency synchronous rectification without external Schottky assistance.
Is IRFU110 pin-compatible with other IPAK-packaged MOSFETs like SiHFU110?
Yes, the IRFU110 is pin-compatible with SiHFU110, as both share identical IPAK (TO-251) package dimensions, terminal assignments (G-D-S), and mechanical footprint. Vishay explicitly lists SiHFU110 as an ordering variant in the same datasheet (S24-0422-Rev. D), confirming identical pinout, thermal characteristics, and absolute maximum ratings. Designers may substitute SiHFU110-GE3 for IRFU110PbF without layout changes, though minor parametric differences in RDS(on) distribution or gate charge tolerance should be verified per lot.
What gate drive voltage is required to fully enhance IRFU110?
The IRFU110 achieves full enhancement at VGS = 10 V, where its RDS(on) is specified at 0.54 Ω. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V to 4.0 V, meaning it begins conducting significantly above ~3 V-but full on-state performance requires ≥10 V to minimize conduction loss. The IRFU110 is not a logic-level MOSFET; using 3.3 V or 5 V gate drive results in substantially higher RDS(on) and thermal stress, and is not recommended for continuous operation.
Can IRFU110 be used in avalanche mode for energy clamping?
Yes, the IRFU110 is explicitly rated for repetitive avalanche operation with IAR = 4.3 A and EAR = 2.5 mJ per pulse, and single-pulse avalanche energy of 75 mJ. This capability allows safe clamping of inductive energy in relay drivers, solenoid controls, and snubberless flyback converters-provided pulse width and duty cycle remain within limits defined in Figure 11 and 12 of the IRFU110 datasheet. Operation beyond these boundaries risks permanent device failure.
