Product details
Overview
IRLI640G from Vishay Siliconix is a 200 V, 9.9 A N-channel power MOSFET in TO-220 FULLPAK package with logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω at VGS = 5 V, and 2.5 kVRMS isolation for high-voltage industrial switching applications including AC-DC PFC stages and DC-DC primary-side switches.
For engineers reviewing the IRLI640G datasheet, IRLI640G pinout, IRLI640G application, or IRLI640G equivalent, this device is selected for isolated high-voltage switching where low gate drive voltage, rugged avalanche capability (EAS = 290 mJ), and thermal performance (RthJC = 3.1 °C/W) are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The IRLI640G employs a third-generation silicon process optimized for fast switching and low conduction loss, with gate charge parameters (Qg = 66 nC, Qgd = 38 nC) enabling efficient operation in hard-switched topologies up to 100 kHz. Its isolated TO-220 FULLPAK construction eliminates need for mica insulators in heatsink mounting.
It features an integral body diode with trr = 310–470 ns and Qrr = 3.2–4.8 μC, supporting moderate-frequency synchronous rectification or freewheeling in flyback and forward converters. Avalanche-rated (IAR = 9.9 A, EAR = 4.0 mJ) for unclamped inductive load handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - Supports 170 VAC mains-derived DC bus with 20% margin for surge and ripple |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 5 V | 0.18 Ω - Enables ≤1.0 W conduction loss at 9.9 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 66 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement (~0.66 mW per 100 kHz switch cycle at 10 V swing) |
| EAS | 290 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy without failure in PFC or motor drive snubberless designs |
| RthJC | 3.1 °C/W - Allows 40 W dissipation with ≤125 °C junction rise above 25 °C case temperature |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V - Fully enhanced by standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level microcontroller GPIO |
| tr/tf | 83 ns / 52 ns - Supports <100 ns transition times for reduced switching loss in high-frequency SMPS |
Pinout & Package
IRLI640G uses the TO-220 FULLPAK package: isolated plastic body with metal tab (drain) electrically insulated from leads, 4.8 mm creepage between sink and lead, 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating, and M3 screw-mount compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control input | Logic-level compatible; requires ≤2.0 V to turn on; driven via 4.6 Ω resistor for 8.0 ns td(on) |
| D (Drain) | High-side switched node | Connected to heatsink tab; electrically isolated at 2.5 kVRMS; carries full load current and switching transients |
| S (Source) | Power return reference | Low-inductance source path (LS = 7.5 nH); referenced to driver ground; body diode anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Isolated TO-220 FULLPAK | Eliminates external insulation hardware-reduces BOM count and assembly cost in commercial/industrial power supplies |
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced from 3.3 V or 5 V MCU outputs-no level-shifting circuitry required |
| Rugged avalanche rating | 290 mJ single-pulse and 4.0 mJ repetitive avalanche energy-enables reliable operation in inductive load switching without snubbers |
| Low thermal resistance | RthJC = 3.1 °C/W-delivers 40 W power dissipation with minimal heatsink size in space-constrained designs |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 310–470 ns and Qrr = 3.2–4.8 μC-minimizes reverse recovery loss in discontinuous-mode 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP20NM50FP | 500 V VDS, higher RDS(on) = 0.22 Ω @ 10 V, non-isolated TO-220FP | Requires external insulation; better for >300 V bus; less suitable for logic-level drive | Select when higher voltage margin is needed and isolation can be added externally |
| IRF640NPbF | 200 V VDS, RDS(on) = 0.18 Ω @ 10 V, non-isolated TO-220, VGS(th) = 2–4 V | Not logic-level; requires ≥10 V gate drive; no isolation; higher thermal resistance | Select only if gate drive is ≥10 V and heatsink isolation is already implemented |
Compared with STP20NM50FP and IRF640NPbF, the IRLI640G uniquely combines logic-level drive, 2.5 kVRMS isolation, and 200 V rating-making it optimal for compact, insulated, low-drive-voltage industrial power stages where layout simplicity and thermal efficiency are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for the IRLI640G at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRLI640G supports 6.3 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derated linearly from 9.9 A at 25 °C using a factor of 0.32 W/°C. This reflects real-world thermal constraints in enclosed industrial enclosures where heatsink ambient may exceed 75 °C. The IRLI640G datasheet specifies this limit under steady-state conduction with proper mounting torque (0.6 Nm for M3 screw).
Does the IRLI640G require external insulation when mounted to a heatsink?
No-the IRLI640G does not require external insulation when mounted to a heatsink because its TO-220 FULLPAK package provides 2.5 kVRMS isolation between the drain (tab) and leads, with 4.8 mm creepage distance. This replaces the need for mica washers or silicone pads in commercial-industrial applications, as confirmed in Vishay document 91314. The IRLI640G achieves isolation equivalent to a 100 µm mica barrier.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for the IRLI640G, and how does it affect microcontroller interfacing?
The IRLI640G has a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) of 1.0–2.0 V at ID = 250 µA, enabling full enhancement with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic outputs. This allows direct connection to MCU GPIO pins without level shifters. The IRLI640G remains fully on across temperature and manufacturing variation within this range, ensuring robust turn-on in industrial environments where supply rails may sag.
Can the IRLI640G be used in avalanche mode, and what are its rated avalanche energies?
Yes-the IRLI640G is rated for both single-pulse and repetitive avalanche operation: EAS = 290 mJ (single pulse, 300 µs, 2% duty cycle) and EAR = 4.0 mJ (repetitive, pulse width limited by TJ(max)). These values are measured per Vishay test conditions (VDD = 25 V, L = 4.4 mH, RG = 25 Ω). The IRLI640G is designed for unclamped inductive switching in PFC and motor drive applications where snubberless operation is preferred.
What is the typical body diode reverse recovery time (trr) of the IRLI640G, and why does it matter in flyback converters?
At TJ = 25 °C, IF = 17 A, and dI/dt = 100 A/µs, the IRLI640G body diode exhibits trr = 310–470 ns. This fast recovery minimizes reverse recovery loss and associated EMI in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converters. Because the IRLI640G integrates this diode, designers avoid discrete diode placement and parasitic inductance-critical for maintaining efficiency and stability in compact 50–100 W adapters.
