Product details

Overview

IRL540NSTRRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 100 V, 36 A, N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, featuring 44 mΩ R_DS(on) at V_GS = 10 V and 55 mΩ at 4.5 V, optimized for DC-DC converters and motor control switching applications.

For engineers reviewing the IRL540NSTRRPBF datasheet, IRL540NSTRRPBF pinout, IRL540NSTRRPBF application, or IRL540NSTRRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low gate charge (Q_g = 71 nC), fast turn-on/turn-off times (t_on = 25 ns, t_off = 55 ns), and lead-free D2PAK thermal performance under continuous 36 A conduction.

Technical Context

This MOSFET uses planar stripe silicon technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted channel geometry to achieve low R_DS(on) while maintaining robust avalanche energy rating (E_AS = 280 mJ). Its logic-level gate threshold (V_GS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V) enables direct drive from 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without gate drivers.

The device integrates a monolithic body diode with soft recovery characteristics (t_rr = 120 ns, Q_rr = 190 nC), reducing voltage overshoot and EMI in hard-switched topologies such as synchronous buck converters and H-bridge motor drives.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_DS	100 V - supports 48 V bus systems with 2× safety margin against transients
I_D (continuous)	36 A @ T_C = 25°C - delivers full rated current with standard heatsinking on PCB
R_DS(on) @ 10 V	44 mΩ - limits conduction loss to ≤1.6 W at 6 A RMS in 12 V load switch
R_DS(on) @ 4.5 V	55 mΩ - ensures usable switching in 3.3 V logic-driven half-bridge configurations
Q_g	71 nC - determines gate driver power requirement (~0.36 mW average at 100 kHz)
E_AS	280 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive kickback in 24 V solenoid drivers
t_rr	120 ns - suppresses voltage spikes during freewheeling in buck regulators

Pinout & Package

D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal dissipation; 3-pin configuration (G, D, S) with drain connected to backside metal tab.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
G (Gate)	Control electrode	Accepts 0–10 V logic signal; requires ≤71 nC charge for full enhancement
D (Drain)	High-side current output	Internally bonded to copper tab; must be thermally anchored to PCB ground plane
S (Source)	Reference node / return path	Provides low-impedance return for load current; ties to controller ground reference

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Logic-level gate drive	Operates fully enhanced at 4.5 V V_GS, eliminating need for level-shifting in 5 V MCU systems
Low R_DS(on) at 4.5 V	55 mΩ enables <1 W conduction loss in 12 V, 4 A load switches without forced air cooling
Fast switching speed	25 ns t_on/55 ns t_off supports >200 kHz PWM in isolated DC-DC designs
Robust body diode	190 nC Q_rr and soft recovery reduce snubber component count in flyback converters

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
IRF540NPBF	R_DS(on) = 44 mΩ @ 10 V but V_GS(th) = 2–4 V; not logic-level capable at 4.5 V	Requires 10 V gate drive; unsuitable for 3.3 V MCU direct drive	Choose only if system uses 12 V gate driver and prioritizes cost over drive simplicity
STP36NF10	R_DS(on) = 36 mΩ @ 10 V but Q_g = 95 nC; higher switching loss at >100 kHz	Better conduction loss but slower switching; less efficient in high-frequency SMPS	Select when thermal budget allows larger heatsink and switching frequency ≤50 kHz

Compared with IRF540NPBF and STP36NF10, IRL540NSTRRPBF uniquely balances logic-level drive compatibility, mid-frequency switching efficiency, and D2PAK thermal capability-making it optimal for space-constrained 3.3/5 V-controlled industrial power stages.

FAQ

What is the maximum junction temperature for reliable operation of IRL540NSTRRPBF?

The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175°C per the official Infineon datasheet PD-95234. Derating begins at 125°C ambient; sustained operation above 150°C junction requires active cooling and thermal vias under the D2PAK drain pad to maintain reliability over 10-year field life.

Can IRL540NSTRRPBF replace IRF540N in an existing design?

Yes, but only if gate drive voltage is ≥10 V. IRL540NSTRRPBF has identical pinout and R_DS(on) at 10 V, yet its lower V_GS(th) (1.0–2.0 V vs. 2.0–4.0 V) may cause unintended turn-on with floating gate traces. Verify gate drive strength and layout noise immunity before substitution.

Is the body diode suitable for reverse recovery in synchronous rectification?

No-the body diode has soft recovery (t_rr = 120 ns, Q_rr = 190 nC) but lacks the optimized charge profile of dedicated synchronous rectifiers. It is acceptable for freewheeling in non-critical buck converters but not recommended for high-efficiency, high-frequency synchronous rectification where dedicated Schottky or GaN FETs are preferred.

Does IRL540NSTRRPBF meet RoHS and REACH requirements?

Yes-IRL540NSTRRPBF is lead-free and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as confirmed by Infineon's material declaration PD-95234 and packaging marking "P" indicating lead-free assembly per J-STD-609.
