Product details
Overview
IRL2910L from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-262 (I²PAK) through-hole package, rated for 100V VDSS, 55A ID @ TC = 25°C, and 0.026Ω RDS(on) @ VGS = 10V. It delivers ultra-low on-resistance, fast switching, and full avalanche rating for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor drive half-bridges.
For engineers reviewing the IRL2910L datasheet, IRL2910L pinout, IRL2910L application, or IRL2910L equivalent, this device is selected for high-current, logic-level gate-driven power switching where thermal robustness, pulsed current capability (190A), and body diode recovery performance (trr = 240–350 ns) are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
This fifth-generation HEXFET® uses advanced silicon processing to minimize RDS(on) per die area while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its gate threshold voltage (1.0–2.0V) ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3V/5V microcontroller outputs, and its low Qgd/Qgs ratio (81/20 nC) supports clean, controllable hard-switching transitions.
The device features fully rated single-pulse avalanche energy (520 mJ), dynamic dv/dt immunity (5.0 V/ns), and a thermally optimized TO-262 package with 0.75°C/W junction-to-case resistance - enabling stable operation up to 175°C junction temperature in conduction-limited industrial loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; sets upper limit for bus voltage in buck converters and H-bridge motor drivers. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10V | 0.026 Ω - Confirmed static on-resistance at standard gate drive; determines conduction loss (Pcond ≈ I² × 0.026) at 29A DC load. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 55 A - Continuous drain current under ideal heatsink conditions; defines maximum steady-state power delivery capacity. |
| EAS | 520 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; enables safe operation during inductive turn-off transients without external snubbers. |
| trr | 240–350 ns - Body diode reverse recovery time; directly impacts switching loss and EMI in synchronous rectification and freewheeling paths. |
| Qg | 140 nC - Total gate charge required for full enhancement; determines driver strength requirement and switching speed trade-off. |
| dv/dt Rating | 5.0 V/ns - Peak diode recovery dv/dt immunity; prevents spurious turn-on during high-slew-rate commutation events. |
Pinout & Package
IRL2910L uses the TO-262 (I²PAK) through-hole package - a thermally enhanced variant of TO-220 with isolated mounting tab and reduced profile for low-height PCB assemblies. The package provides mechanical stability, direct heatsink interface, and 0.75°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path from source to load | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless circuit requires common-drain topology. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Low-inductance connection point for sense resistor placement and gate driver ground reference. |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <20 nC charge; sensitive to ringing - needs local RC damping and short trace routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 4.0V (RDS(on) = 0.040Ω), enabling direct interface with 3.3V/5V MCUs without level-shifting. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.026Ω @ 10V ensures <40W conduction loss at 55A - critical for high-efficiency 12–48V industrial power stages. |
| Full avalanche rating | 520 mJ single-pulse and 20 mJ repetitive avalanche energy allow reliable operation in unclamped inductive switching without derating. |
| Fast body diode | 240–350 ns trr and 1.3V VSD at 29A support efficient freewheeling in synchronous buck and half-bridge topologies. |
| Thermal robustness | Rated for −55°C to +175°C operation with 1.3 W/°C linear derating above 25°C case temperature - suitable for sealed enclosures. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF2807PbF | VDSS = 75V, RDS(on) = 0.018Ω @ 10V, TO-220 package, lower voltage rating | Not suitable for 100V bus designs; better for 48V systems where lower RDS(on) improves efficiency | Select when system bus voltage ≤ 60V and thermal budget allows TO-220 mounting. |
| STP55NF06L | VDSS = 60V, RDS(on) = 0.014Ω @ 10V, logic-level, TO-220, no avalanche rating specified | Lacks documented avalanche capability; requires external clamping in inductive switching | Prefer only in non-inductive or snubber-protected low-voltage (<45V) applications with strict RDS(on) targets. |
Compared with IRL2910L, IRF2807PbF trades voltage headroom for lower conduction loss in sub-60V systems, while STP55NF06L offers superior RDS(on) but omits avalanche ruggedness - making IRL2910L the only choice for unclamped 100V inductive switching with logic-level drive.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRL2910L at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 39 A at TC = 100°C and VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating due to reduced channel conductivity and increased RDS(on) at elevated temperatures - designers must verify heatsink design meets 1.3 W/°C linear derating slope beyond 25°C.
Does IRL2910L require a gate resistor for safe operation?
Yes - a gate resistor (typically 10–47 Ω) is required to dampen ringing caused by gate loop inductance and prevent oscillation or false triggering. With 140 nC total gate charge and fast Miller plateau transition, uncontrolled gate drive can exceed dV/dt limits and induce shoot-through in bridge configurations.
Can IRL2910L be used in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes - its fast body diode (trr = 240–350 ns) and low forward voltage (VSD = 1.3 V at 29 A) make it suitable for synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters up to ~100 kHz. However, optimal performance requires precise timing control to avoid cross-conduction, especially given its 81 nC Qgd and 20 nC Qgs ratio.
Is the TO-262 package of IRL2910L electrically isolated?
No - the drain is internally connected to the metal tab, which is electrically active. For isolation, the tab must be mounted to a heatsink using an insulating pad or shoulder washer. PCB layout must maintain clearance between the tab and any grounded copper pour, as confirmed by the package outline and thermal test conditions in AN-994.
