Product details
Overview
IRLZ44NLPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 55 V, 49 A, 27 mΩ N-channel logic-level MOSFET in TO-262 (DPAK) package, optimized for DC-DC converters, motor drives, and high-efficiency switching power supplies operating at 10 V gate drive. It features low RDS(on), fast switching, and enhanced body diode recovery.
For engineers reviewing the IRLZ44NLPBF datasheet, IRLZ44NLPBF pinout, IRLZ44NLPBF application, or IRLZ44NLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 27 mΩ on-resistance at VGS = 10 V, 49 A continuous drain current, TO-262 thermal performance, and logic-level gate threshold (VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0 V).
Technical Context
This MOSFET uses planar silicon process with optimized channel geometry to achieve low conduction loss and controlled gate charge (QG = 58 nC). Its body diode exhibits trr = 53 ns and QRR = 32 nC under IF = 25 A, VDD = 25 V conditions, supporting synchronous rectification and hard-switched topologies.
The device is rated for 175 °C junction temperature and supports repetitive avalanche energy EAS = 125 mJ at TJ = 25 °C. Safe operating area (SOA) is defined up to 10 ms single-pulse with VDS ≤ 44 V and ID ≤ 41 A at TC = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; supports 48 V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 27 mΩ - Enables <1.3 W conduction loss at 49 A, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| ID (continuous) | 49 A @ TC = 25 °C - Sustains high-current loads in motor H-bridge or SMPS output stages. |
| QG | 58 nC - Determines gate driver power and switching speed; compatible with standard 1-A drivers. |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–4.0 V - Logic-level threshold ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs. |
| tr/tf | 25/40 ns - Supports >100 kHz switching in buck converters without excessive switching loss. |
| EAS | 125 mJ - Withstands inductive kickback in relay/motor drive without external snubbers. |
Pinout & Package
IRLZ44NLPBF is housed in a TO-262 (DPAK) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal dissipation. The package measures 10.16 × 4.70 × 2.39 mm and is lead-free (Pb-free) per RoHS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current path collector | Internally connected to exposed copper pad; must be soldered to large PCB copper pour for thermal management. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode | High-impedance input requiring <1 µA bias; sensitive to ESD-requires gate resistor and TVS protection. |
| Source (S) | Current return reference | Common node for load return and gate drive reference; ties to system ground in low-side switch configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive compatibility | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 4.5 V-enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs without level-shifting. |
| Low gate charge (QG) | 58 nC reduces driver power consumption and enables faster turn-on/turn-off transitions. |
| Enhanced body diode recovery | trr = 53 ns and soft recovery minimize voltage overshoot and EMI in freewheeling paths. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Rated for 125 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy-supports robust operation in inductive load switching. |
Applications
| Motor Control | DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Half-bridge driving of 24–48 V brushed DC motors in industrial actuators and robotics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in H-bridge topology; handles bidirectional current up to 49 A with minimal conduction loss. Use Value: 27 mΩ RDS(on) limits I²R loss to <65 W at peak current, enabling compact thermal design without forced air cooling. | Use Scenario: Synchronous rectifier in 12 V → 3.3 V/5 V buck converters for server VRMs and telecom PSUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side power switch replacing Schottky diode; commutated by controller PWM signal. Use Value: Replaces 40 V/40 A Schottky with 60% lower forward conduction loss and zero reverse recovery charge. |
| Power Inverters | Lighting Ballasts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFZ44NPBF | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ 10 V; same TO-220 package; no lead-free marking. | Higher thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.5 K/W vs. 1.0 K/W) limits power density in SMT layouts. | Prefer IRLZ44NLPBF for surface-mount designs requiring higher current density and RoHS compliance. |
| STP55NF06L | RDS(on) = 14 mΩ @ 10 V; 60 V rating; TO-220 package; VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5 V. | Lower threshold increases risk of spurious turn-on in noisy environments; requires tighter gate control. | Choose STP55NF06L only when <15 mΩ RDS(on) is critical and gate drive noise is well-filtered. |
Compared with IRFZ44NPBF and STP55NF06L, IRLZ44NLPBF offers optimal balance of logic-level drive safety, TO-262 thermal performance, and 27 mΩ conduction loss-making it preferred for space-constrained, high-reliability 48 V power systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for IRLZ44NLPBF?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175 °C. Continuous operation above 150 °C requires derating ID per the SOA curve; thermal design must maintain TJ ≤ 150 °C for 10-year reliability in industrial environments.
Does IRLZ44NLPBF require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes-a series gate resistor (10–47 Ω) is required to dampen ringing and limit peak gate current. For 1-A drivers switching at 100 kHz, 22 Ω provides optimal tradeoff between switching speed and EMI suppression without overstressing the driver.
Can IRLZ44NLPBF replace IRLZ44N in existing designs?
Yes-IRLZ44NLPBF is a direct drop-in replacement for IRLZ44N, sharing identical electrical specs, pinout, and TO-262 footprint. The "LPBF" suffix denotes lead-free finish and updated packaging; no layout or firmware changes are needed.
Is the body diode in IRLZ44NLPBF suitable for synchronous rectification?
Yes-the body diode has trr = 53 ns and QRR = 32 nC at IF = 25 A, enabling use in synchronous buck converters up to 200 kHz. However, external Schottky diodes remain preferred for >300 kHz due to lower QRR.
