Product details
Overview
IRLR2905PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a logic-level N-channel Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252AA) package, rated for 55 V V(BR)DSS, 42 A continuous drain current at 25°C, 0.027 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and fully avalanche-rated for rugged switching in DC-DC converters and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR2905PBF datasheet, IRLR2905PBF pinout, IRLR2905PBF application, or IRLR2905PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), low RDS(on) at 4.0–5.0 V gate voltage, fast switching (tr = 84 ns, tf = 15 ns), and surface-mount thermal performance (RθJA = 50 °C/W on 1"² FR-4 PCB).
Technical Context
This fifth-generation HEXFET device uses advanced planar processing to minimize on-resistance per die area while maintaining robust avalanche energy rating (EAS = 210 mJ). Its body diode exhibits 1.3 V forward drop at 25 A and 80–120 ns reverse recovery time under defined di/dt conditions.
The MOSFET supports high-speed switching with 48 nC total gate charge and 25 nC Miller charge, enabling efficient operation in synchronous buck converters and half-bridge motor drivers where gate drive strength and dv/dt immunity (5.0 V/ns) are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 55 V - Withstands up to 55 V drain-source voltage before breakdown; suitable for 48 V bus systems. |
| RDS(on) | 0.027 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 42 A; critical for high-efficiency power stages. |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 42 A - Maximum continuous drain current with heatsinking; limited to 20 A by package thermal constraint. |
| EAS | 210 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating ensures reliability during inductive load switching transients. |
| Qg / Qgd | 48 nC / 25 nC - High Miller charge demands careful gate driver sizing to avoid shoot-through in bridge configurations. |
| tr / tf | 84 ns / 15 ns - Fast edge rates support >200 kHz switching frequencies with minimized switching losses. |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - Measured on 1"² FR-4 PCB; defines thermal design margin for unheatsinked surface-mount layouts. |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252AA) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement and mechanical stability. Standard three-terminal configuration optimized for automated reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Tab / Pin 2 | Drain (D) | Internally connected to exposed copper pad; primary heat path and high-current output node. |
| Pin 1 | Gate (G) | Logic-level input requiring ≥4.0 V for full enhancement; low threshold enables direct microcontroller drive. |
| Pin 3 | Source (S) | Power return path and reference for gate drive; forms common node with body diode cathode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.027 Ω at 10 V reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. legacy 40 mΩ devices in same package. |
| Fully avalanche-rated | 210 mJ single-pulse EAS allows safe operation in unclamped inductive switching without external snubbers. |
| Fast body diode | 80–120 ns trr and 210–320 nC Qrr support synchronous rectification and ZVS topologies. |
| Lead-free construction | Pb-free terminations and RoHS-compliant packaging meet industrial and automotive environmental requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLZ44N | RDS(on) = 0.028 Ω @ 10 V; higher Qg = 60 nC; TO-220 package | Through-hole mounting only; less suitable for high-density SMT designs | Prefer IRLR2905PBF for space-constrained PCBs requiring D-Pak footprint and lower gate drive demand. |
| STP55NF06L | RDS(on) = 0.018 Ω @ 10 V; V(BR)DSS = 60 V; higher ID = 50 A | Larger TO-220FP package; not logic-level (VGS(th) = 1–2.5 V, but higher typical turn-on voltage) | Choose STP55NF06L only when sub-20 mΩ RDS(on) justifies larger package and higher gate charge overhead. |
Compared with IRLZ44N and STP55NF06L, the IRLR2905PBF delivers optimal balance of logic-level drive, D-Pak thermal performance, and 55 V rating-making it preferred for compact, high-efficiency 24–48 V industrial power stages where board area and gate drive simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRLR2905PBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 30 A at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating due to reduced channel conductivity and increased RDS(on) at elevated temperatures, with linear derating beginning above 25°C at 0.71 W/°C.
Can IRLR2905PBF be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes-its gate threshold voltage range is 1.0–2.0 V, and RDS(on) remains low (0.040 Ω) at VGS = 4.0 V with ID = 21 A. However, full enhancement and minimal switching losses require ≥4.5 V; a dedicated gate driver is recommended for high-frequency or high-current operation.
Is the body diode of IRLR2905PBF suitable for synchronous rectification?
Yes-the body diode has a forward voltage of 1.3 V at 25 A and reverse recovery time of 80–120 ns, making it usable in low-frequency synchronous rectification. For high-frequency (>500 kHz) or zero-voltage-switching topologies, an external Schottky diode may still be preferred due to lower Qrr (210–320 nC).
What is the recommended PCB footprint and soldering profile for IRLR2905PBF?
The D-Pak footprint should follow IR's AN-994 guidelines: 10 mm² exposed drain pad with thermal vias to inner ground planes. Reflow profile must comply with JEDEC J-STD-020, peak temperature ≤ 260°C for lead-free, with vapor phase or infrared heating preferred over wave soldering for optimal thermal reliability.
