Product details
Overview
IRLU2705 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in TO-251AA (I-Pak) package, rated for 55 V VDS, 28 A continuous drain current at 25°C, and 0.040 Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It features ultra-low on-resistance, fast switching, full avalanche rating, and surface-mount-compatible straight-lead through-hole mounting-used in DC-DC converters, motor drivers, and power supply synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the IRLU2705 datasheet, IRLU2705 pinout, IRLU2705 application, or IRLU2705 equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), 110 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, 76–110 ns reverse recovery time, and thermal resistance of 110 °C/W junction-to-ambient-critical for high-efficiency, thermally constrained industrial power stages.
Technical Context
The IRLU2705 employs fifth-generation HEXFET process technology to minimize RDS(on) per die area while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its body diode exhibits VSD = 1.3 V at 17 A and 25°C, with Qrr = 190–290 nC and trr = 76–110 ns under specified di/dt conditions.
Gate charge characteristics are defined by Qg = 25 nC, Qgs = 5.2 nC, and Qgd = 14 nC at VDS = 44 V, enabling efficient PWM control with low driver loss. Switching times include td(on) = 8.9 ns, tr = 100 ns, td(off) = 21 ns, and tf = 29 ns under standardized test conditions (VDD = 28 V, ID = 16 A, RG = 6.5 Ω).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines usable input voltage range in buck/boost topologies |
| RDS(on) | 0.040 Ω @ VGS = 10 V - enables ≤1.6 W conduction loss at 20 A, critical for thermal management in compact PCB layouts |
| ID (25°C) | 28 A - continuous current rating at case temperature 25°C; derates linearly at 0.45 W/°C above 25°C |
| EAS | 110 mJ - single-pulse avalanche energy; supports reliable operation during inductive load turn-off transients without snubbers |
| Qg | 25 nC - total gate charge; determines minimum driver peak current and switching loss in high-frequency (>100 kHz) applications |
| trr / Qrr | 76–110 ns / 190–290 nC - body diode recovery behavior; directly impacts shoot-through risk and efficiency in synchronous rectifiers |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V - logic-level threshold; ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
IRLU2705 uses the TO-251AA (I-Pak) package-a three-lead, through-hole variant of the D-PAK footprint with straight leads for axial mounting and wave soldering. Thermal performance is optimized via exposed drain pad connected to pins 2 and 4.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate | Control terminal; accepts logic-level voltage (≤2.0 V threshold) to modulate channel conductivity |
| 2 | Drain | Main high-side current path; electrically tied to exposed metal tab for thermal and electrical connection |
| 3 | Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return; forms common node with body diode cathode |
| 4 | Drain | Second drain connection; paralleled with Pin 2 to reduce package inductance and improve current sharing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced with 3.3 V or 5 V controllers-eliminates need for gate driver ICs in low-voltage embedded systems |
| Fully avalanche-rated | Withstands 110 mJ unclamped inductive energy-enables robust operation in relay driving and solenoid control without external clamping |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.040 Ω at 10 V gate drive-reduces conduction loss by >35% vs. legacy 55 V MOSFETs, improving efficiency in 12 V–48 V power rails |
| Fast body diode | trr = 76–110 ns and Qrr = 190–290 nC-minimizes reverse recovery loss in synchronous buck converters operating up to 500 kHz |
| TO-251AA mechanical form | Straight-lead through-hole package with dual drain pins-offers higher mechanical reliability and thermal transfer than SO-8 in high-vibration environments |
Applications
| DC-DC Synchronous Rectifier | Industrial Motor Driver Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side switch in isolated 12 V–24 V output DC-DC converters for PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side synchronous rectifier replacing Schottky diode to reduce forward drop and improve efficiency. Use Value: Achieves ≥3% efficiency gain over 40 V Schottky due to 0.040 Ω RDS(on) and fast trr, lowering thermal load on 2-layer PCBs. | Use Scenario: Half-bridge low-side switch controlling 24 V brushed DC motors in automated valve actuators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power stage switch with integrated body diode conducting flyback current during PWM off-time. Use Value: Full avalanche rating absorbs 110 mJ inductive kickback without failure, eliminating need for external TVS in Class A industrial enclosures. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | LED Constant-Current Driver |
Use Scenario: Load switch for 12 V lighting circuits (headlamp positioners, interior ambient lighting) in BCMs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side power switch controlled directly by 5 V MCU GPIO with minimal external components. Use Value: Logic-level VGS(th) ensures full turn-on at 4.5 V supply, supporting wide-input automotive battery range (9–16 V) without gate boost. | Use Scenario: Constant-current sink for high-brightness LED strings in architectural lighting fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear or PWM-controlled current regulator using source degeneration and thermal feedback. Use Value: Low RDS(on) minimizes voltage headroom requirement (≤0.8 V drop at 20 A), enabling higher LED string count per 24 V rail. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR2705 | Same die, D-PAK (TO-252AA) surface-mount package; RDS(on) identical but thermal resistance RθJA = 50 °C/W vs. 110 °C/W for IRLU2705 | Preferred for automated SMT assembly; unsuitable for manual through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical mounting | Select IRLR2705 when board space and reflow capability permit; choose IRLU2705 for hand-soldered, mechanically stressed, or mixed-technology boards. |
| STP55NF06L | 60 V VDS, 50 A ID, 0.014 Ω RDS(on); higher current rating but requires 4.5 V min. VGS for full enhancement | Better suited for 48 V systems and higher-power motor drives; not logic-level compatible with 3.3 V MCUs | Choose STP55NF06L only if system voltage exceeds 55 V or current demand exceeds 28 A; verify gate drive strength for VGS(th) margin. |
Compared with IRLR2705 and STP55NF06L, the IRLU2705 uniquely balances logic-level drivability, through-hole mechanical robustness, and 55 V/28 A capability-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, medium-power industrial controls where SMT infrastructure is unavailable or vibration tolerance is mandatory.

FAQ
Is IRLU2705 pin-compatible with IRLR2705?
No-IRLU2705 uses TO-251AA (I-Pak) with straight leads and four terminals (G-D-S-D), while IRLR2705 uses TO-252AA (D-PAK) with gull-wing surface-mount leads and three terminals (G-D-S). Footprints and soldering methods differ fundamentally; mechanical adaptation is required for substitution.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for IRLU2705 in PWM applications?
Based on published switching times (td(on) = 8.9 ns, tf = 29 ns) and gate charge (Qg = 25 nC), the IRLU2705 supports clean switching up to 1 MHz in low-duty-cycle, low-inductance layouts. Practical limits are set by layout parasitics and driver capability-not device intrinsic speed-so 200–500 kHz is typical for robust industrial designs.
Can IRLU2705 replace a bipolar transistor in a linear regulator application?
Yes, but with caveats: its low RDS(on) enables low-dropout operation, yet thermal stability depends on proper heatsinking due to RθJA = 110 °C/W. Unlike BJTs, it lacks inherent current limiting-external sensing and protection circuitry is mandatory to prevent thermal runaway under overload.
Does IRLU2705 require a gate resistor for EMI suppression?
A gate resistor (typically 5–22 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 94 pF) and PCB inductance. Without it, fast edges may excite parasitic LC networks, increasing radiated emissions-especially critical in automotive EMC-compliant designs per CISPR 25 Class 5.
