Product details
Overview
IRLU4343PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 55 V, 26 A N-channel D-Pak MOSFET optimized for Class-D audio amplifier output stages. It delivers 42 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, 28 nC total gate charge, and 175°C maximum junction temperature, enabling high-efficiency switching with low THD and EMI in compact audio power modules.
For engineers reviewing the IRLU4343PBF datasheet, IRLU4343PBF pinout, IRLU4343PBF application, or IRLU4343PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Qrr (100–150 nC), fast body diode recovery (trr = 52–78 ns), and repetitive avalanche rating-critical for unclamped inductive switching in bridge-tied load (BTL) amplifiers.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced HEXFET® process technology to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its gate charge profile (Qgd = 9.5 nC, Qgs = 3.5 nC) and low internal source/drain inductance (LS = 7.5 nH, LD = 4.5 nH) are tuned to suppress voltage overshoot and ringing during hard-switching transitions in high-frequency Class-D topologies.
The device integrates a robust body diode with VSD ≤ 1.2 V at 19 A and exhibits specified repetitive avalanche capability (EAR = 100 mJ @ TJ = 25°C), allowing reliable operation under transient overcurrent conditions without external snubbers in BTL half-bridge configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Supports rail voltages up to ±25 V in dual-supply Class-D amplifiers with margin against transients. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 42 mΩ - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 19 A continuous drain current in D-Pak package. |
| Qg | 28 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables use of low-current gate drivers (e.g., IR2011) without excessive heating. |
| Qrr | 100–150 nC - Low reverse recovery charge minimizes shoot-through risk and EMI generation during dead-time commutation. |
| trr | 52–78 ns - Fast body diode recovery supports >300 kHz switching frequencies while maintaining THD < 0.01%. |
| TJ(max) | 175°C - Allows sustained operation at elevated ambient temperatures in sealed audio enclosures without derating. |
| RθJC | 1.9 °C/W - Enables direct heatsinking via D-Pak tab for thermal management in space-constrained PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad on bottom side for thermal conduction and mechanical mounting. Three-terminal surface-mount configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path from source to load | Exposed metal tab serves as primary heat sink interface and carries full output current; must be soldered to copper pour. |
| Source | Reference node for gate control and return path | Connected to power ground or low-side switch node; low-inductance layout critical to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| Gate | Control electrode for channel conduction | High-impedance input requiring controlled slew rate; gate resistor selection balances switching speed vs. EMI and dV/dt-induced turn-on. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optimized Qg/Qsw ratio | Enables efficient zero-voltage switching (ZVS) in resonant Class-D topologies without increasing gate drive complexity. |
| Low Qrr body diode | Reduces energy loss and voltage spikes during freewheeling, directly lowering THD and audible noise in mid/high-frequency bands. |
| 175°C rated junction | Eliminates need for thermal derating in automotive infotainment systems operating at 85°C ambient with 20 K thermal margin. |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | Withstands ≥160 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, enabling robust operation during speaker short-circuit or clipping events. |
Applications
| Home Audio Amplifiers | Automotive Infotainment Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Class-D audio MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STW48N65M5 | 650 V, 48 A, TO-247; higher VDS, larger package, 3x higher Qg | Designed for industrial SMPS, not optimized for audio THD/EMI | Use only if higher voltage rating or higher current headroom is required; requires stronger gate driver and larger heatsink. |
| IPP60R099C7 | 600 V, 50 A, TO-220; CoolMOS™ superjunction; lower RDS(on) but higher Qrr (220 nC) | Targeted at PFC and LLC converters; body diode unsuited for hard-commutated audio bridges | Not recommended for Class-D due to excessive Qrr-induced THD; avoid in BTL configurations without active clamping. |
Compared with STW48N65M5 and IPP60R099C7, the IRLU4343PBF provides the optimal balance of low Qrr, fast trr, and D-Pak thermal performance specifically validated for audio-grade switching-making it the preferred choice where THD, EMI, and board area are design constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRLU4343PBF at 100°C case temperature?
The IRLU4343PBF supports 39 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area (≥1 in² 2 oz Cu) and no airflow, leveraging its 1.9 °C/W RθJC for thermal transfer to an external heatsink.
Does IRLU4343PBF require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes-a gate resistor is required to control dV/dt and prevent parasitic oscillation. For typical Class-D operation at 350–400 kHz, a 10–22 Ω non-inductive resistor between driver output and gate is recommended. Lower values increase switching speed but raise EMI; higher values reduce ringing but increase switching losses.
Can IRLU4343PBF be used in synchronous rectification applications?
No-it is not designed or characterized for synchronous rectification. Its body diode parameters (Qrr, trr) are optimized for Class-D freewheeling, not for low-loss reverse conduction. Synchronous rectifier MOSFETs require bidirectional low RDS(on) and symmetric diode characteristics not present here.
Is the D-Pak package of IRLU4343PBF lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes-the "PBF" suffix confirms lead-free (Pb-free) construction and full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin plating on leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
