Product details
Overview
IRL630 from Vishay Siliconix is a logic-level N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, rated for 200 V VDS, 9.0 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 0.40 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V. It supports fast switching, repetitive avalanche operation, and ease of paralleling in DC-DC converters and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRL630 datasheet, IRL630 pinout, IRL630 application, or IRL630 equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), low RDS(on) at 4–5 V, avalanche energy rating (EAS = 220 mJ), and TO-220AB thermal performance (RthJC = 2.5 °C/W).
Technical Context
The IRL630 employs third-generation trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and robust unclamped inductive switching. Its dynamic dV/dt rating (5.0 V/ns) and body diode recovery time (trr = 220 ns typical) support reliable operation in hard-switched topologies.
Designed for logic-level drive compatibility, it delivers full enhancement at VGS = 4.0 V (RDS(on) ≤ 0.50 Ω) and maintains stable threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V) across -55 to +150 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - supports input voltages up to 170 V DC in offline SMPS or 48 V industrial bus systems |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 5 V | 0.40 Ω - enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 6.7 A, reducing heatsink requirements |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 9.0 A - sufficient for 75 W load switching with margin in TO-220AB package |
| Qg (max) | 24 nC - determines gate driver current demand (~1.2 A peak for 20 ns rise time) |
| EAS | 220 mJ - allows safe single-pulse inductive energy absorption without external snubber |
| trr | 220 ns - limits reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification and half-bridge configurations |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V - ensures full turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO |
Pinout & Package
IRL630 uses the industry-standard TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), offering low thermal resistance (RthJC = 2.5 °C/W) and mechanical compatibility with standard heatsinks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives logic-level voltage (≥4 V) to fully enhance channel; requires <24 nC charge for full transition |
| D (Drain) | High-side power output | Internally connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits |
| S (Source) | Power return / reference node | Serves as local ground for gate drive; source inductance (LS = 7.5 nH) affects switching ringing in high-dI/dt applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 4.0 V (RDS(on) ≤ 0.50 Ω), eliminating need for gate boosters in 3.3/5 V control systems |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Rated for IAR = 9.0 A and EAR = 10 mJ, enabling robustness against transient overloads without derating |
| Dynamic dV/dt immunity | Specified at 5.0 V/ns - suppresses false turn-on during high-speed voltage transients in bridge-leg configurations |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | Qgd = 13.5 nC / Qg = 24 nC ≈ 56% - improves Miller immunity and reduces switching instability in high-side applications |
| RoHS-compliant packaging | Available in Pb-free (IRL630PbF) and halogen-free (IRL630PbF-BE3) variants per Vishay specification 99912 |
Applications
| Brushless DC Motor Driver | Industrial DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Half-bridge leg in 24–48 V BLDC inverters driving fans or pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling phase current commutation with <220 ns body diode recovery. Use Value: Logic-level gate enables direct MCU PWM drive; 0.40 Ω RDS(on) keeps conduction loss below 2.2 W at 7.4 A RMS. |
Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 48 V input, 12 V output flyback or forward converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage power switch handling 200 V blocking and 9 A peak currents. Use Value: 220 mJ EAS absorbs leakage inductance spikes without clamp circuitry, simplifying layout. |
| LED Constant-Current Driver | AC-DC Adapter Secondary-Side Switch |
Use Scenario: High-current dimming FET in constant-current LED string drivers (e.g., street lighting). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-pass switch modulated at 1–20 kHz to regulate LED current. Use Value: Low RDS(on) minimizes thermal rise under 7 A continuous load; TO-220AB allows bolt-down heatsinking. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active rectifier controlled by gate driver synchronized to primary switching. Use Value: Body diode VSD = 1.7 V and trr = 220 ns enable efficient recovery during zero-voltage switching transitions. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM60FD | 600 V VDS, 0.32 Ω RDS(on) @ 10 V, not logic-level (VGS(th) = 3–5 V) | Requires gate driver for 3.3 V control; better for higher-voltage PFC stages | Select when >400 V blocking is needed and gate drive voltage ≥10 V is available |
| IRFZ44N | 55 V VDS, 0.028 Ω RDS(on) @ 10 V, logic-level compatible but lower voltage rating | Not suitable for 200 V bus; optimized for 12–24 V motor drives | Choose only for low-voltage (<60 V) high-current applications where footprint and cost are critical |
Compared with STP20NM60FD and IRFZ44N, the IRL630 uniquely balances 200 V rating, true logic-level operation, and TO-220AB thermal performance-making it optimal for 48 V industrial power stages where gate drive simplicity and avalanche ruggedness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRL630 at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRL630 supports 5.7 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derived from its linear derating factor of 0.40 W/°C and 50 W maximum power dissipation at 25 °C. This value is confirmed in Vishay's absolute maximum ratings table and reflects real thermal limits under sustained conduction in TO-220AB mounting conditions.
Does IRL630 have avalanche capability, and how is it specified?
Yes, the IRL630 is repetitively avalanche rated with IAR = 9.0 A and EAR = 10 mJ, and single-pulse rated for EAS = 220 mJ. These values are measured under standardized unclamped inductive test conditions (VDD = 100 V, L = 10 mH, TJ initial = 25 °C) per Vishay's datasheet Figure 12.
Is IRL630 compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO for direct gate drive?
Yes, the IRL630 is a true logic-level MOSFET with VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V and guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 0.50 Ω at VGS = 4.0 V. At 3.3 V, it remains partially enhanced (RDS(on) ~0.65 Ω typ), making it usable with 3.3 V MCUs in moderate-current applications where slight conduction loss increase is acceptable.
What is the body diode forward voltage of IRL630, and how does it affect synchronous rectification?
The IRL630 body diode exhibits VSD = 1.7 V at IS = 9.0 A and TJ = 25 °C. In synchronous rectification, this forward drop contributes to conduction loss before gate turn-on; its 220 ns reverse recovery time (trr) must be managed via precise timing to avoid shoot-through in half-bridge topologies.
How does the thermal resistance of IRL630 impact heatsink selection?
With RthJC = 2.5 °C/W and RthJA = 62 °C/W (no heatsink), the IRL630 requires a heatsink when dissipating >2.5 W continuously. For example, at 9.0 A and 0.40 Ω RDS(on), conduction loss is 32.4 W - demanding a heatsink with RthSA ≤ 0.9 °C/W to maintain TJ < 150 °C at 25 °C ambient.
