Product details
Overview
IRFU7546PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 60V, 56A (package-limited), N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in I-Pak package, optimized for high-efficiency switching in half-bridge and synchronous rectifier topologies. It features 6.6 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 120 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and enhanced body diode dV/dt capability up to 12 V/ns - enabling robust operation in BLDC motor drives and DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRFU7546PBF datasheet, IRFU7546PBF pinout, IRFU7546PBF application, or IRFU7546PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V VDSS, 56 A package-limited continuous current, 1.52 °C/W RθJC, 280 A pulsed drain rating, and validated performance in resonant-mode power supplies and OR-ing configurations.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon-gate technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted charge balance for low conduction loss and controlled dynamic behavior. Its gate threshold voltage (2.1–3.7 V) enables compatibility with 5 V and 3.3 V logic-level drivers, while its 58 nC typical total gate charge supports efficient high-frequency switching up to 500 kHz in hard-switched topologies.
The device integrates a fast, soft-recovery body diode with 26 ns typical reverse recovery time (TJ = 25°C) and 22 nC Qrr, making it suitable for synchronous rectification where diode conduction and commutation losses dominate efficiency. Avalanche ruggedness is fully characterized per JEDEC JESD24-11, with thermal-limited EAS of 120 mJ (L = 130 µH) and 178 mJ (L = 1 mH).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; sets upper limit for bus voltage in 48 V systems. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 6.6 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 43 A - Directly determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ I² × RDS(on)) in high-current paths. |
| ID (Package) | 56 A @ TC = 25°C - Thermal limit defined by I-Pak leadframe and solder joint integrity, not silicon. |
| EAS | 120 mJ (L = 130 µH) - Energy-handling capacity during unclamped inductive switching; critical for reliability in motor drive fault conditions. |
| Qg typ. | 58 nC - Total gate charge required to switch; defines driver strength requirement and switching loss trade-off. |
| trr / Qrr | 26 ns / 22 nC @ TJ = 25°C - Quantifies body diode recovery speed and stored charge; impacts shoot-through risk and EMI in synchronous rectifiers. |
| RθJC | 1.52 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables accurate heatsink sizing when mounted on copper pads with thermal vias. |
Pinout & Package
I-Pak package (TO-251AA): three-terminal surface-mount variant with isolated tab (Drain), standard leadform for through-hole replacement. Features integral heat slug for direct PCB thermal coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current-carrying terminal, electrically connected to exposed metal tab | Must be soldered to large copper pour or heatsink; primary thermal path and high-current return node. |
| Gate | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring <58 nC charge; sensitive to ESD; routed away from noisy power traces. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Low-inductance connection essential; forms common reference for gate driver and sense resistor placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced body diode dV/dt capability | 12 V/ns at TJ = 175°C - Enables reliable commutation in high-di/dt synchronous rectifier applications without external snubbers. |
| Fully characterized avalanche SOA | 120–178 mJ single-pulse EAS across two test conditions - Allows deterministic fault-energy budgeting in motor control and UPS designs. |
| Lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 - Eliminates pre-bake requirements and supports standard reflow profiles. |
| Improved dynamic dV/dt ruggedness | Validated >50 V/ns immunity in unclamped inductive tests - Reduces risk of false turn-on in high-speed bridge configurations. |
Applications
| Brushed Motor Drive | BLDC Motor Inverter |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Back-to-back configured MOSFET providing low-loss, bidirectional current blocking and fault isolation. Use Value: 12 V/ns diode dV/dt rating prevents parasitic turn-on during hot-swap transients, eliminating need for external gate clamps. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFZ44NPBF | Higher RDS(on) (17.5 mΩ), lower VDSS (55 V), same I-Pak package | Limited to ≤40 V systems; unsuitable for 48 V bus transient margin or high-current synchronous rectification | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and voltage margin requirements. |
| STP55NF06L | Logic-level gate (VGS(th) = 1–2.5 V), higher RDS(on) (11 mΩ), TO-220 package | Requires no gate driver in 3.3 V MCU systems but lacks I-Pak thermal performance and 60 V rating | Prefer for low-voltage, space-tolerant designs where gate drive simplicity is prioritized over thermal density. |
Compared with IRFU7546PBF, IRFZ44NPBF trades off 2.6× higher conduction loss and reduced voltage headroom, while STP55NF06L sacrifices thermal efficiency and 60 V robustness for gate-drive simplicity - making IRFU7546PBF optimal for high-density, high-reliability 48 V power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFU7546PBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current at TC = 100°C is 50 A (silicon-limited), as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating due to junction temperature limits and assumes proper PCB copper area and thermal via design per AN-994 guidelines.
Can IRFU7546PBF be used with 5 V gate drive?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage range (2.1–3.7 V) ensures full enhancement at 5 V, and RDS(on) remains 7.9 mΩ max at VGS = 5 V (per Fig 1). However, 10 V drive is recommended to achieve the 6.6 mΩ typical value and minimize conduction loss in high-current applications.
How does the body diode performance compare to standard MOSFETs?
IRFU7546PBF's body diode delivers 12 V/ns peak recovery dv/dt at 175°C and 26 ns trr at 25°C - significantly higher than standard HEXFETs. This is achieved via tailored doping and lifetime control, enabling reliable synchronous rectification without external diodes in DC/DC converters.
Is IRFU7546PBF suitable for paralleling multiple devices?
Yes - its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (Fig 6) ensures inherent current sharing. For stable parallel operation, match gate drive loop inductance and use individual gate resistors (≥5 Ω) to damp oscillation; PCB layout must provide symmetrical thermal paths to all devices.
