Product details
Overview
IRLR2905ZPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 55 V VDSS, 42 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 13.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It features 175°C maximum junction temperature, fast switching (tr = 130 ns, tf = 33 ns), and rated repetitive avalanche capability-designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters, motor control H-bridges, and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR2905ZPBF datasheet, IRLR2905ZPBF pinout, IRLR2905ZPBF application, or IRLR2905ZPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–3.0 V), low RDS(on) at 4.5 V (22.5 mΩ max), body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 14–21 nC), and thermal performance (RθJC = 1.38 °C/W).
Technical Context
This HEXFET® device uses advanced silicon processing to minimize on-resistance per die area while maintaining robust avalanche energy handling (EAS = 240 mJ, tested). Its gate threshold voltage range (1.0–3.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs without level-shifting.
The integrated body diode supports synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck converters and half-bridge topologies. Thermal design is enabled by low junction-to-case resistance (1.38 °C/W) and validated transient thermal impedance curves up to 100 ms pulse duration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; suitable for 48 V nominal bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 13.5 mΩ max - Enables <1.8 W conduction loss at 42 A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 22.5 mΩ max - Confirmed logic-level operation with standard 3.3 V/5 V GPIOs; avoids external gate drivers. |
| Qg | 35 nC max - Determines gate drive power requirement; enables efficient PWM switching up to ~500 kHz with moderate gate resistance. |
| EAS (tested) | 240 mJ - Validated single-pulse unclamped inductive switching capability; supports robust overcurrent protection in motor drives. |
| TJ max | 175°C - Allows sustained operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed industrial enclosures) without derating below 100°C case temp. |
| Qrr | 21 nC max - Low reverse recovery charge reduces switching losses and EMI in hard-switched topologies using body diode commutation. |
Pinout & Package
IRLR2905ZPBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The package provides low-profile mounting and high-current capability via copper-clad PCB land pattern.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal (connected to internal die substrate) | Electrically and thermally tied to exposed metal tab; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal management. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return path | Connected to source metallization; forms common reference for gate-source voltage and body diode cathode. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring low-charge drive; sensitive to ESD; routed away from noisy power traces. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | VGS(th) ≤ 3.0 V ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V MCU I/O, eliminating need for gate driver ICs in low-power control stages. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 13.5 mΩ at 10 V enables >96% efficiency in 12–48 V buck converters delivering 20–40 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Rated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to TJmax; validated per AN-1005, enabling ruggedized motor phase-leg designs. |
| 175°C junction rating | Supports operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments (e.g., automotive under-hood auxiliary supplies) without forced air cooling. |
| Low Qrr body diode | 21 nC Qrr minimizes voltage overshoot and ringing during freewheeling, easing EMI filter design in Class-D audio and SMPS. |
Applications
| DC-DC Buck Converter | Brushed DC Motor Driver |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF06L | RDS(on) = 14 mΩ @ 10 V; higher Qg = 55 nC; TO-220 package (not surface-mount) | Larger footprint and higher thermal resistance (RθJA ≈ 62 °C/W vs. 40 °C/W for IRLR2905ZPBF) | Preferred only when through-hole assembly or higher single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 370 mJ) is required. |
| IRLZ44NPBF | Lower VDSS = 55 V same, but RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ 10 V; lower ID = 49 A; same D-Pak package | Higher conduction loss at high current; less suitable for 40+ A continuous loads | Better cost/performance fit for ≤25 A applications where gate charge (Qg = 25 nC) and footprint match are prioritized over RDS(on). |
Compared with STP55NF06L and IRLZ44NPBF, IRLR2905ZPBF delivers the lowest RDS(on) in D-Pak form factor, enabling higher current density and better thermal performance in space-constrained SMT designs-especially critical for multi-phase converters and compact motor drivers.

FAQ
Is IRLR2905ZPBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. IRLR2905ZPBF is lead-free and RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, with Pb-free plating on all terminals and halogen-free molding compound. The "PbF" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free packaging, verified in Infineon's material declarations and certificate of compliance.
What is the maximum safe continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the continuous drain current is derated to 24 A (per Absolute Maximum Ratings table), based on thermal limits of the D-Pak package-not silicon current capability. This value assumes proper PCB copper area (≥10 cm² 2 oz Cu) and still-air conditions.
Can IRLR2905ZPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (see Fig. 10) ensures inherent current sharing stability. Parallel operation requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical layout, and shared source inductance minimization; typical designs use 2–4 devices for >100 A applications.
Does the body diode support continuous conduction mode (CCM) in synchronous rectification?
Yes. The integral body diode has VSD = 1.3 V max at 36 A and trr = 22–33 ns, making it suitable for CCM operation in buck converters up to ~300 kHz. However, external Schottky or MOSFET synchronous rectifiers are recommended for highest efficiency above 10 A.
