Product details
Overview
IRLR2905CPBF from Infineon Technologies is a surface-mount N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in DPAK (TO-252) package, rated for 55 V VDS, 36 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 11.5 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It serves as a high-efficiency synchronous rectifier or low-side switch in DC-DC converters and motor drive half-bridges.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR2905CPBF datasheet, IRLR2905CPBF pinout, IRLR2905CPBF application, or IRLR2905CPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 11.5 mΩ on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, 36 A thermal-limited current capability, DPAK thermal performance, and logic-level gate threshold compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology to achieve low conduction loss and fast switching transitions. Its gate charge Qg is 48 nC at VGS = 10 V, and total gate charge Qgs + Qgd is 12 nC, supporting efficient PWM operation up to 500 kHz in hard-switched topologies.
The device features an integrated avalanche-rated structure with EAS = 170 mJ at TJ = 25°C, and operates across junction temperatures from –55°C to +175°C, enabling robustness in automotive body electronics and industrial motor control environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; suitable for 48 V nominal bus systems. |
| ID (continuous) | 36 A at TC = 25°C - Sustained current capability with heatsink; derates to ~22 A at TC = 100°C. |
| RDS(on) | 11.5 mΩ typ @ VGS = 10 V - Low conduction loss yielding <0.5 W dissipation at 20 A, critical for thermal management. |
| Qg | 48 nC @ VGS = 10 V - Gate drive energy requirement; determines driver IC sizing and switching loss trade-off. |
| EAS | 170 mJ @ TJ = 25°C - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; supports inductive load turn-off without external snubbers. |
| TJ range | –55°C to +175°C - Extended temperature operation validated for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal conduction to PCB copper; 3-pin configuration optimized for automated assembly and thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal | Reference node for gate drive; connects to ground or low-side return path in half-bridge. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input | Receives logic-level or buffered PWM signal; threshold VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V enables direct MCU drive. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Power output | High-current switched node; soldered to large copper pour for heat dissipation and low-inductance routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced with VGS ≥ 4.5 V, eliminating need for gate driver boost stages in 3.3 V/5 V systems. |
| Trench MOSFET architecture | Reduces RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit by 35% vs planar equivalents, improving efficiency in high-frequency SMPS. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for single-pulse EAS ≥ 170 mJ, ensuring reliability in inductive switching applications. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP36NF06L | RDS(on) = 18 mΩ @ 10 V; higher conduction loss; Qg = 52 nC | Lower current rating (36 A pulsed only); less suited for continuous 30 A loads | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency requirements in lower-duty-cycle applications. |
| IRFR2905ZPBF | Same die in TO-220AB package; no exposed drain pad; RDS(on) identical | Requires heatsink mounting; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT layouts | Select only when through-hole assembly or discrete heatsinking is mandated by mechanical design. |
Compared with STP36NF06L and IRFR2905ZPBF, the IRLR2905CPBF delivers superior thermal performance per unit board area due to its DPAK package and lower RDS(on), making it optimal for high-density, high-efficiency SMT power stages where PCB copper acts as primary heatsink.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for IRLR2905CPBF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +175°C, validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108. Continuous operation above +150°C requires derating ID to ≤12 A at TC = 100°C and maintaining thermal resistance RθJC ≤ 1.2°C/W via adequate PCB copper area and solder coverage on the drain pad.
Can IRLR2905CPBF be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage VGS(th) ranges from 1.0 V to 2.0 V, and it achieves full enhancement (RDS(on) ≤ 15 mΩ) at VGS = 4.5 V. A 3.3 V GPIO can switch moderate currents (<5 A) with acceptable RDS(on); for 20+ A loads, a gate driver is recommended to ensure fast turn-on and minimize switching loss.
Does IRLR2905CPBF require a gate resistor?
A series gate resistor (typically 5–22 Ω) is required to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance and PCB inductance. Without it, overshoot exceeding 20 V may occur during turn-on, risking gate oxide damage. The resistor value balances switching speed against EMI and shoot-through risk in bridge configurations.
Is IRLR2905CPBF suitable for synchronous rectification in a 48 V buck converter?
Yes - its 55 V VDS rating provides 15% margin over 48 V nominal input, and its 11.5 mΩ RDS(on) yields <0.7 W conduction loss at 25 A. Combined with ton/toff < 30 ns, it supports efficient synchronous rectification up to 300 kHz with proper gate drive timing and layout.
