Product details
Overview
IRL640STRR from Vishay Siliconix is a logic-level N-channel power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, rated for 200 V VDS, 17 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 0.18 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 5 V. It supports fast switching, repetitive avalanche operation, and is optimized for high-current DC-DC converters and motor control circuits requiring low gate drive voltage.
For engineers reviewing the IRL640STRR datasheet, IRL640STRR pinout, IRL640STRR application, or IRL640STRR equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate threshold (1.0–2.0 V), 66 nC total gate charge, 5.0 V/ns peak diode recovery dV/dt rating, and D2PAK thermal performance (RthJC = 1.0 °C/W) in surface-mount high-power designs.
Technical Context
This device belongs to Vishay's third-generation surface-mount power MOSFET family, engineered for ruggedized operation under unclamped inductive switching stress. Its design integrates a low-inductance D2PAK package with internal source/drain inductances of 7.5 nH and 4.5 nH respectively, enabling stable high-dI/dt switching up to 150 A/μs in avalanche-rated conditions.
The IRL640STRR features a specified body diode with trr = 310–470 ns and Qrr = 3.2–4.8 μC at TJ = 25 °C, IS = 17 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs - critical for synchronous rectification and freewheeling path integrity in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - supports input rails up to 160 V DC with margin for transients in industrial power supplies |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 5 V | 0.18 Ω - enables ≤3.1 W conduction loss at 13 A, suitable for thermally constrained PCB-mount applications |
| Qg | 66 nC - determines gate driver power requirement and switching speed in 100 kHz–500 kHz SMPS designs |
| ID (continuous, TC = 25 °C) | 17 A - delivers high current density in D2PAK without external heatsink in forced-air-cooled systems |
| EAS | 580 mJ - allows safe single-pulse energy absorption during inductive turn-off, reducing snubber complexity |
| dV/dt (diode recovery) | 5.0 V/ns - ensures robustness against parasitic turn-on in high-side configurations with fast-rising node voltages |
| TJ range | –55 to +150 °C - qualified for extended temperature operation in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drives |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain tab for thermal and electrical connection; 3-terminal configuration (G, D, S); standard JEDEC outline; recommended minimum pad layout per Vishay AN826.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control electrode | Logic-level compatible (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V); requires ≤66 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD |
| D (Drain) | High-side power terminal | Connected to exposed copper tab; primary thermal path to PCB; must be routed with low-inductance copper pour |
| S (Source) | Reference and return path | Common node for gate drive return and load current sensing; internal 7.5 nH inductance affects high-speed source degeneration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 4.0 V (RDS(on) = 0.27 Ω), enabling direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Rated for IAR = 10 A and EAR = 13 mJ under controlled pulse conditions - supports reliable operation in inductive load switching |
| Dynamic dV/dt immunity | Guaranteed 5.0 V/ns diode recovery dV/dt tolerance - prevents false turn-on in high-side half-bridge configurations |
| Low RthJC | 1.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance - enables >100 W power dissipation with minimal case-to-heatsink ΔT in properly mounted D2PAK |
| RoHS-compliant & halogen-free | Meets Vishay's material categorization per doc. 99912 - suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and consumer end equipment |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF640NPbF | Higher VGS(th) (2.0–4.0 V), higher RDS(on) (0.18 Ω @ VGS = 10 V only), not logic-level | Requires 10 V gate drive; unsuitable for 3.3 V MCU direct drive | Select IRL640STRR when logic-level compatibility and low-voltage gate drive are mandatory |
| STP20NM60FD | 600 V rating, lower RDS(on) (0.30 Ω @ VGS = 10 V), no logic-level rating, TO-220 package | Higher voltage capability but larger footprint and no surface-mount compatibility | Select IRL640STRR for D2PAK-compatible 200 V designs needing compact SMT layout and 5 V drive |
Compared with IRF640NPbF and STP20NM60FD, the IRL640STRR uniquely combines D2PAK packaging, 200 V rating, logic-level gate, and 17 A continuous current - making it optimal for space-constrained, low-voltage-gate industrial power stages where thermal performance and avalanche ruggedness are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRL640STRR at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRL640STRR supports 11 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the D2PAK package under sustained high-temperature operation and must be validated with actual board-level thermal design including copper area and airflow.
Does IRL640STRR have a specified body diode reverse recovery time?
Yes, the IRL640STRR body diode has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 310–470 ns at TJ = 25 °C, IF = 17 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/μs. This parameter is critical for minimizing switching losses in freewheeling paths and is measured per the test circuit in Figure 12 of the Vishay datasheet S21-0932-Rev. E.
Is IRL640STRR RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, IRL640STRR is lead (Pb)-free and halogen-free, conforming to Vishay's material categorization per document 99912. The "-GE3" suffix in related part numbers (e.g., SiHL640STRR-GE3) explicitly denotes this compliance, and the IRL640STRR ordering variant carries identical environmental specifications per Vishay's cross-reference data.
What is the gate-source threshold voltage range for IRL640STRR?
The gate-source threshold voltage (VGS(th)) for IRL640STRR is 1.0 V to 2.0 V at VDS = VGS and ID = 250 μA. This logic-level range ensures full enhancement with standard 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs, distinguishing it from standard-threshold MOSFETs like the IRF640 series.
Can IRL640STRR be used in avalanche-mode switching applications?
Yes, IRL640STRR is explicitly repetitive avalanche rated: IAR = 10 A and EAR = 13 mJ, with pulse width limited by maximum junction temperature. Its 580 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating further supports unclamped inductive switching in motor drive and relay driving applications without external snubbers.
