Product details
Overview
IRL1404ZLPBF from Infineon Technologies is a logic-level N-channel Power MOSFET in D2Pak (TO-263) package, designed for high-current DC-DC conversion and motor drive switching. It delivers 120A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, 3.1 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and supports 40 V VDSS, enabling efficient 12–24 V industrial power stages.
For engineers reviewing the IRL1404ZLPBF datasheet, IRL1404ZLPBF pinout, IRL1404ZLPBF application, or IRL1404ZLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 175°C junction rating, 75 nC total gate charge, body diode reverse recovery time of 26 ns, and suitability for synchronous rectification and high-frequency PWM control in automotive and industrial power supplies.
Technical Context
This HEXFET® device uses advanced silicon processing to minimize conduction loss while maintaining robust avalanche capability. Its ultra-low on-resistance is achieved via optimized cell pitch and trench-gate geometry, and it features a fully rated 175°C operating junction temperature with thermally validated repetitive avalanche performance up to Tjmax.
The integrated body diode exhibits 1.3 V forward voltage at 75 A and 26 ns reverse recovery time, supporting fast-switching topologies. Gate drive compatibility extends down to 4.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL120N4F7AG | RDS(on) = 3.7 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 68 nC; TO-263 package | Slightly higher conduction loss but lower gate charge reduces driver complexity | Preferred when gate drive current is limited and thermal margin allows 0.6 mΩ higher RDS(on) |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 82 nC; SO-8FL package with 2.5× smaller footprint | Lower current rating (90 A) and reduced thermal mass limit use to < 60 W applications | Selected for space-constrained designs where board area outweighs peak current demand |
Compared with STL120N4F7AG and NTMFS4C09NT1G, IRL1404ZLPBF offers the lowest RDS(on) and highest continuous current in D2Pak, making it optimal for thermally demanding 100+ W power stages where conduction loss dominates efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRL1404ZLPBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 140 A at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table under "ID @ TC = 100°C Continuous Drain Current, VGS @ 10V". This value reflects package thermal limits and is lower than the silicon-limited 120 A at 25°C due to reduced thermal headroom.
Does IRL1404ZLPBF require a gate resistor for safe operation in a 20 kHz PWM circuit?
A gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing and control dV/dt, especially given its 75 nC total gate charge and 40 V rating. A 4.0 Ω resistor is used in the official switching test circuit (Fig. 18a), yielding measured 19 ns turn-on delay and 180 ns rise time-values confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Can IRL1404ZLPBF be used in parallel configurations for >200 A applications?
Yes-its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (normalized RDS(on) increases with temperature, per Fig. 10) enables inherent current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched layout, identical gate drive paths, and thermal coupling to ensure balanced conduction; Infineon confirms this behavior in Application Note AN-1001.
Is the body diode in IRL1404ZLPBF suitable for reverse recovery in synchronous rectification?
Yes-the body diode is characterized with 26 ns typical reverse recovery time (trr) and 18 nC reverse recovery charge (Qrr) at IF = 75 A, making it viable for synchronous rectification in 100–500 kHz DC-DC converters. Its 1.3 V forward voltage at 75 A is lower than discrete Schottky diodes rated for similar currents.
