Product details

Overview

IRL530PBF-BE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a logic-level N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for 100 V V_DS, 15 A continuous drain current at T_C = 25 °C, and 0.16 Ω R_DS(on) at V_GS = 5 V. It supports fast switching, repetitive avalanche operation, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature - commonly used in DC-DC converters, motor drivers, and industrial power supplies.

For engineers reviewing the IRL530PBF-BE3 datasheet, IRL530PBF-BE3 pinout, IRL530PBF-BE3 application, or IRL530PBF-BE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate drive (V_GS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), low R_DS(on) at 4–5 V, 28 nC total gate charge, and TO-220AB thermal performance (R_thJC = 1.7 °C/W).

Technical Context

This MOSFET employs third-generation silicon technology optimized for ruggedness and low conduction loss. Its dynamic dV/dt rating (5.5 V/ns) and unclamped inductive switching capability (E_AS = 290 mJ) support reliable operation in hard-switched topologies.

The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (t_rr = 150–200 ns, Q_rr = 0.93–1.4 μC) and features low internal inductance (L_D = 4.5 nH, L_S = 7.5 nH), enabling high-speed switching with reduced ringing and EMI in PWM-driven loads.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	100 V - supports input rails up to 80 V DC with margin for transients in industrial power stages
R_DS(on) @ V_GS = 5 V	0.16 Ω - enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 9 A, reducing heatsink requirements
Q_g	28 nC - determines gate driver current demand (~1.4 A peak for 20 ns rise time)
I_D (continuous, T_C = 25 °C)	15 A - usable in medium-power SMPS or motor H-bridge legs without forced air
t_rr (body diode)	150–200 ns - limits reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification or freewheeling paths
T_J max	+175 °C - allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating
E_AS	290 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive energy in relay/snubberless switching circuits

Pinout & Package

IRL530PBF-BE3 uses the standard TO-220AB package: insulated tab, vertical mounting, 3-pin through-hole configuration with drain connected to the metal tab for direct heatsinking. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.7 °C/W.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
G (Gate)	Control terminal	Logic-level compatible (V_GS(th) ≤ 2.0 V); requires <100 nA leakage current drive
D (Drain)	High-side power output	Internally connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground referenced
S (Source)	Power return / reference node	Serves as local ground for gate drive; source inductance (7.5 nH) impacts switching stability

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Logic-level gate drive	Operates fully enhanced at V_GS = 4–5 V, eliminating need for level-shifting in 5 V microcontroller-based systems
Repetitive avalanche rated	Rated for I_AR = 15 A and E_AR = 8.8 mJ, enabling robustness in inductive load switching without external clamping
Fast switching with low Q_gd/Q_g	Q_gd = 14 nC (50% of Q_g) minimizes Miller plateau duration, improving turn-off controllability
Low R_thJC	1.7 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance supports >70 W dissipation with moderate heatsinking
RoHS-compliant & halogen-free	IRL530PBF-BE3 meets JEDEC J-STD-609 Category 1 for halogen content (<900 ppm Cl + Br), suitable for green industrial designs

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
STP16NF10	V_DS = 100 V, R_DS(on) = 0.18 Ω @ V_GS = 10 V, V_GS(th) = 2–4 V - not logic-level at 4 V	Requires 10 V gate drive; unsuitable for 3.3/5 V MCU direct drive	Select IRL530PBF-BE3 when gate voltage is limited to ≤5 V; STP16NF10 only if 10 V rail available
IRF530NPBF	V_DS = 100 V, R_DS(on) = 0.16 Ω @ V_GS = 10 V, V_GS(th) = 2–4 V - higher threshold, slower switching (Q_g = 32 nC)	Higher gate charge increases driver loss; less suitable for high-frequency (>300 kHz) operation	IRL530PBF-BE3 preferred for efficiency-critical or space-constrained designs needing low gate drive voltage

Compared with STP16NF10 and IRF530NPBF, IRL530PBF-BE3 delivers lower gate drive voltage dependency, faster switching due to lower Q_g, and superior thermal margin - making it optimal for compact, logic-level-controlled power stages where layout area and drive simplicity are critical.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRL530PBF-BE3 at 100 °C case temperature?

The IRL530PBF-BE3 supports 11 A continuous drain current at T_C = 100 °C, per its absolute maximum ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limitations of the TO-220AB package and must be applied when heatsink ambient exceeds 50 °C or airflow is restricted. Designers should verify junction temperature using R_thJC = 1.7 °C/W and actual power dissipation in IRL530PBF-BE3.

Does IRL530PBF-BE3 have avalanche capability, and how is it rated?

Yes, IRL530PBF-BE3 is repetitively avalanche rated: I_AR = 15 A and E_AR = 8.8 mJ under specified test conditions (T_J ≤ 175 °C, pulse width limited). It also supports single-pulse avalanche energy of 290 mJ. These ratings allow safe operation in inductive switching without external protection, provided layout minimizes stray inductance as outlined in the IRL530PBF-BE3 application notes.

Is IRL530PBF-BE3 suitable for 3.3 V microcontroller gate drive?

IRL530PBF-BE3 has a gate threshold voltage range of 1.0–2.0 V and is fully enhanced at V_GS = 4 V (R_DS(on) = 0.22 Ω) and V_GS = 5 V (R_DS(on) = 0.16 Ω). While 3.3 V is below full enhancement, it delivers usable R_DS(on) (~0.35 Ω typ.) - acceptable for low-duty-cycle or low-current applications. For robust 3.3 V drive, verify thermal margin and consider gate boosting; IRL530PBF-BE3 is optimized for 4–5 V operation.

What is the body diode forward voltage of IRL530PBF-BE3, and how does it affect freewheeling performance?

The body diode forward voltage (V_SD) of IRL530PBF-BE3 is 2.5 V maximum at I_S = 15 A and T_J = 25 °C. Its reverse recovery time (t_rr) is 150–200 ns, with Q_rr = 0.93–1.4 μC. These values indicate moderate conduction loss but relatively fast recovery - suitable for non-synchronous buck or flyback freewheeling where efficiency loss is acceptable, though not ideal for high-frequency synchronous rectification without additional optimization of IRL530PBF-BE3 layout.

How does the TO-220AB package of IRL530PBF-BE3 impact thermal design?

The TO-220AB package of IRL530PBF-BE3 provides R_thJC = 1.7 °C/W (junction-to-case) and R_thJA = 62 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, no heatsink). Effective thermal design requires mounting the drain-connected tab to a heatsink with thermal grease (R_thCS = 0.50 °C/W typical). Without heatsinking, IRL530PBF-BE3 is limited to ~1.4 W dissipation; with a 10 °C/W heatsink, it supports >70 W - confirming its suitability for medium-power industrial applications.
