Product details

Overview

IRL1404ZSPBF from Infineon Technologies is a logic-level N-channel Power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, rated for 40V V_DSS, 3.1mΩ R_DS(on) at V_GS = 10V, and 120A continuous drain current at T_C = 25°C. It features 175°C junction temperature rating, fast switching (t_r = 180ns), and tested repetitive avalanche capability up to T_jmax. It is used in high-current DC-DC converters, motor drives, and battery protection circuits.

For engineers reviewing the IRL1404ZSPBF datasheet, IRL1404ZSPBF pinout, IRL1404ZSPBF application, or IRL1404ZSPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low on-resistance at 4.5V gate drive, body diode reverse recovery charge (Q_rr = 18–27nC), thermal resistance (R_θJC = 0.65°C/W), and avalanche energy rating (E_AS = 230mJ).

Technical Context

This device employs Infineon's HEXFET® advanced process technology optimized for low conduction loss and high pulse current handling. Its gate threshold voltage (V_GS(th) = 1.4–2.7V) enables direct drive from 3.3V/5V logic, while the 75nC total gate charge supports efficient high-frequency switching up to several hundred kHz.

The integrated body diode exhibits low forward voltage (V_SD ≤ 1.3V at 75A) and fast reverse recovery (t_rr = 26–39ns), making it suitable for synchronous rectification and freewheeling in hard-switched topologies. Thermal performance is defined by a 0.65°C/W junction-to-case resistance and validated 175°C maximum operating temperature.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DSS	40V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; sets upper limit for bus voltage in 12V/24V systems.
R_DS(on) @ V_GS=10V	3.1mΩ (typ) - Enables <1W conduction loss at 75A, critical for high-efficiency power stages.
I_D Continuous @ T_C=25°C	120A - Silicon-limited current; requires robust heatsinking to sustain in real-world PCB mount.
Q_g	75nC (typ) - Determines gate driver power requirement and switching loss at 100kHz+ frequencies.
E_AS	230mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; allows safe operation under inductive turn-off stress without snubbers.
T_J max	175°C - Enables reliable operation in automotive under-hood and industrial motor control environments.
t_r/t_f	180ns/49ns - Fast edge rates reduce switching transition time, lowering overlap losses in PWM applications.

Pinout & Package

IRL1404ZSPBF is housed in a surface-mount D2PAK (TO-263) package with three terminals: Drain (tab), Source (pins 1 & 2), and Gate (pin 3). The exposed drain pad provides low-inductance, high-current path and serves as primary thermal interface to PCB copper.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Drain (Tab)	Main current-carrying terminal, electrically connected to package backside	Must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal and current handling; contributes <4.5nH internal inductance.
Source (Pins 1 & 2)	Reference node for gate drive and current return path	Dual-pin layout reduces source inductance (L_S = 7.5nH); critical for minimizing gate oscillation during fast switching.
Gate (Pin 3)	Control electrode for channel conduction	Logic-level compatible (V_GS(th) ≤ 2.7V); requires <75nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Logic-level gate drive	Operates fully enhanced at V_GS = 4.5V, enabling direct interface with microcontrollers and low-voltage PWM controllers.
Ultra-low R_DS(on)	3.1mΩ typical at 10V gate drive - reduces I²R losses by >40% vs. legacy 5mΩ MOSFETs in 12V battery systems.
Repetitive avalanche rated	Tested to 230mJ single-pulse and qualified for repetitive operation within thermal limits - eliminates need for external clamping in motor drive flyback.
175°C junction rating	Supports sustained operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating below 120A.
Lead-free construction	Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C).

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
STL120N4L10AG	R_DS(on) = 3.0mΩ @ 10V, Q_g = 85nC, DFN8 5×6 package	Lower thermal resistance (R_θJC = 0.5°C/W) but no exposed drain tab; unsuitable for high-current through-hole replacement	Select when PCB space is constrained and thermal interface uses thermal vias instead of large copper pour.
ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G	R_DS(on) = 3.2mΩ @ 10V, Q_g = 68nC, SO-8FL package	Smaller footprint and lower gate charge, but I_D limited to 80A; not rated for repetitive avalanche	Prefer for compact, medium-current designs where avalanche robustness is not required and gate drive strength is limited.

Compared with STL120N4L10AG and NTMFS4C09NT1G, IRL1404ZSPBF offers superior avalanche ruggedness and higher current capability in a thermally optimized D2PAK package-making it the preferred choice for industrial motor control and automotive power conversion where reliability under transient stress is mandatory.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRL1404ZSPBF at 100°C case temperature?

The maximum continuous drain current at T_C = 100°C is 140A, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table under "ID @ TC = 100°C Continuous Drain Current, VGS @ 10V". This reflects silicon-limited current capacity, distinct from package-limited 75A at same temperature.

Does IRL1404ZSPBF have a qualified repetitive avalanche rating?

Yes - the datasheet explicitly states "Repetitive Avalanche Allowed up to Tjmax" and provides curves in Figures 15 and 16 showing allowable avalanche current versus pulse width and energy versus starting junction temperature. It is 100% production-tested to 230mJ single-pulse E_AS.

Can IRL1404ZSPBF be driven directly from a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO?

No - while its gate threshold voltage starts at 1.4V, full enhancement (to achieve 3.1mΩ R_DS(on)) requires ≥4.5V gate drive. At 3.3V, R_DS(on) rises significantly (>10mΩ), increasing conduction loss. A level-shifting gate driver or dedicated 5V/10V supply is required for optimal performance.

What is the recommended PCB footprint and thermal relief for the D2PAK drain pad?

Infineon Application Note AN-994 specifies a minimum 1.0" × 1.0" FR-4 copper area with ≥6 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, filled or plated) connecting to inner-layer ground planes. Solder mask defined pads and 100% copper fill are required to achieve the rated 0.65°C/W R_θJC performance.
