Product details
Overview
IRL2505L from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 55 V, 110 A, 0.008 Ω RDS(on) N-channel logic-level power MOSFET in TO-262 (DPAK) package, designed for high-current DC-DC conversion, motor control, and battery protection circuits operating at gate voltages as low as 4.5 V.
For engineers reviewing the IRL2505L datasheet, IRL2505L pinout, IRL2505L application, or IRL2505L equivalent, key selection criteria include its 110 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, 0.008 Ω on-resistance at VGS = 10 V, avalanche energy rating of 120 mJ, and logic-level gate drive compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe cell structure with optimized gate oxide thickness to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining robust 55 V VDSS breakdown voltage. Its body diode exhibits 110 A forward current capability and 75 ns reverse recovery time at IF = 54 A, VDD = 44 V.
The device supports pulse operation up to 175 °C junction temperature, with thermal resistance RθJC = 0.95 °C/W and SOA-limited single-pulse avalanche energy of 120 mJ at TJ = 25 °C, enabling reliable operation in inductive switching applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 0.008 Ω - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 110 A, critical for high-efficiency power stages |
| ID (continuous) @ TC = 25 °C | 110 A - Sustains full-load current without derating in heatsink-mounted configurations |
| QG (total gate charge) | 71 nC - Determines required gate driver peak current for 100 ns switching transitions |
| EAS (single-pulse avalanche) | 120 mJ - Absorbs inductive energy during unclamped inductive switching events |
| tr/tf | 35 ns / 100 ns - Supports >1 MHz hard-switching in synchronous buck converters |
| Ciss/Coss/Crss | 2700 pF / 520 pF / 220 pF - Defines Miller effect and zero-voltage switching feasibility |
Pinout & Package
IRL2505L uses the TO-262 (DPAK) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement. The package measures 10.16 × 6.53 × 2.39 mm and features lead-free plating per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output terminal | Electrically connected to exposed copper pad; must be soldered to PCB thermal plane for RθJA ≤ 40 °C/W |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance connection essential for stable gate control and accurate shunt-based current monitoring |
| Gate | Control input for channel conduction | Logic-level compatible (VGS(th) = 2.0 V max); requires 10–15 V for full enhancement and minimal RDS(on) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V VGS | 0.012 Ω - Enables direct drive from 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry |
| High-current SOA | 110 A continuous @ TC = 25 °C - Eliminates need for paralleling devices in 1 kW motor drives |
| Robust avalanche rating | 120 mJ EAS - Permits safe operation in unclamped inductive loads like solenoid drivers |
| Fast body diode | 75 ns trr, Qrr = 220 nC - Reduces switching losses in synchronous rectification and bidirectional converters |
Applications
| Motor Drive Stage | Battery Protection Circuit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: H-bridge for 24 V brushed DC motor in industrial actuator requiring 80 A peak current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side and low-side switch in half-bridge configuration, switching at 20 kHz with 100 ns dead-time. Use Value: 0.008 Ω RDS(on) limits conduction loss to 51 W at 80 A, reducing heatsink size by 40% vs. higher-RDS(on) alternatives. | Use Scenario: Overcurrent and short-circuit protection in 48 V Li-ion battery pack with 100 A discharge limit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main discharge FET controlled by protection IC; conducts continuously during normal operation. Use Value: 110 A rating allows headroom for surge currents; avalanche capability handles fault transients without external TVS. |
| DC-DC Synchronous Buck Converter | Industrial Power Supply Output Stage |
Use Scenario: 12 V → 1.2 V, 100 A VRM for FPGA power delivery with 500 kHz switching frequency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side synchronous rectifier, conducting >90% of duty cycle with 100 ns turn-off delay. Use Value: 71 nC QG enables efficient gate driving with 0.7 A peak current; fast body diode minimizes shoot-through risk. | Use Scenario: 24 V → 5 V, 20 A auxiliary supply in PLC backplane with strict thermal constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary switching element in non-isolated buck topology, operating at 250 kHz with 40% duty cycle. Use Value: TO-262 package with exposed drain provides 0.95 °C/W RθJC, enabling 20 A continuous operation without forced air cooling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3803PbF | RDS(on) = 0.006 Ω @ 10 V but rated only for 100 A; lower QG (52 nC) | Marginally lower conduction loss but reduced avalanche energy (90 mJ) | Preferred where gate drive current is constrained and avalanche stress is minimal |
| STP110N55F6 | Higher VDSS (55 V same), RDS(on) = 0.0075 Ω, but requires 10 V for full enhancement (not logic-level) | Not suitable for 3.3 V MCU drive; needs gate driver IC | Select only when system uses dedicated gate drivers and requires tighter RDS(on) tolerance |
Compared with IRL3803PbF and STP110N55F6, the IRL2505L uniquely balances logic-level drive (≤4.5 V), 110 A current capacity, and 120 mJ avalanche robustness-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 24–48 V systems without external gate drivers.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRL2505L at 100 °C case temperature?
At TC = 100 °C, the IRL2505L supports 70 A continuous drain current, derated from its 110 A rating at 25 °C using the published thermal curve and RθJC = 0.95 °C/W. This value assumes adequate PCB copper area for heat spreading and no airflow limitation.
Does IRL2505L require a gate resistor for stability in PWM motor control?
Yes-a 10 Ω to 22 Ω gate series resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate loop inductance and prevent spurious turn-on due to dv/dt coupling. This value balances switching speed (tr/tf ≈ 35/100 ns) and EMI suppression in 20–100 kHz motor drive applications.
Can IRL2505L be used in parallel configurations without current-sharing resistors?
No-parallel operation requires individual gate resistors and matched layout to ensure balanced dynamic current sharing. The positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) provides limited static balancing, but unequal gate drive impedance or thermal gradients cause >20% current imbalance above 50 A per device.
What is the typical gate threshold voltage range for IRL2505L?
The gate threshold voltage VGS(th) is specified from 1.7 V to 2.0 V at ID = 250 µA. Devices consistently turn on fully at ≥4.5 V VGS, making them compatible with 5 V TTL and 3.3 V CMOS logic outputs when driven through appropriate buffer stages.
