Product details
Overview
IRLZ44NSPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 55 V, 49 A, 27 mΩ N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-262 (D-Pak) package, optimized for low-voltage DC-DC conversion and high-efficiency motor control. It features logic-level gate drive (VGS(th) = 2.0–3.0 V), 100% avalanche-rated operation, and RDS(on) = 27 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V at TJ = 25°C.
For engineers reviewing the IRLZ44NSPBF datasheet, IRLZ44NSPBF pinout, IRLZ44NSPBF application, or IRLZ44NSPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 49 A continuous drain current capability, 55 V VDSS, logic-compatible gate threshold, TO-262 thermal performance, and single-pulse avalanche energy rating of 125 mJ - all critical for industrial motor drives and synchronous rectification designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe silicon technology with optimized channel geometry to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining robust switching behavior. Its gate charge profile (QG = 58 nC, QGD = 22 nC @ VGS = 10 V) supports fast turn-on/turn-off with minimal Miller-induced oscillation in hard-switched topologies.
The device is characterized for operation up to TJ = 175°C and exhibits normalized RDS(on) drift ≤ 2.0× from 25°C to 175°C. Its body diode has trr = 55 ns and QRR = 42 nC @ IF = 25 A, enabling reliable freewheeling in buck converters and H-bridge inverters without external Schottky supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines safe operating range in 48 V bus systems. |
| ID (continuous) | 49 A @ TC = 25°C - Sustained load current capability with heatsink; derates to 25 A @ TC = 100°C. |
| RDS(on) | 27 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, TJ = 25°C - Conduction loss of 66 W at 49 A; enables >95% efficiency in 12–24 V power stages. |
| VGS(th) | 2.0–3.0 V - Logic-level gate threshold compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| QG | 58 nC @ VGS = 10 V - Total gate charge determining driver strength requirement; supports 100 kHz+ PWM with <1 W gate drive loss. |
| EAS | 125 mJ (single pulse) - Avalanche energy rating confirming ruggedness against inductive switching transients in motor control. |
| tr/tf | 25 ns / 45 ns @ RG = 2.5 Ω - Fast switching transitions minimizing overlap loss in synchronous rectifiers. |
Pinout & Package
IRLZ44NSPBF uses the TO-262 (D-Pak) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal conduction. The package measures 10.67 × 4.83 × 9.65 mm and is rated for 1.75 W/°C junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) when mounted on 1-in² 2-oz copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output terminal | Internally connected to exposed metal tab; must be electrically tied to PCB ground plane or heatsink for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Low-inductance connection point for shunt sensing and gate driver return; forms common reference for half-bridge high-side configuration. |
| Gate | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <1 µA bias; sensitive to ESD; requires RC snubber if driving inductive loads with fast dV/dt. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced with 3.3 V or 5 V MCU GPIOs - eliminates need for dedicated gate drivers in low-power motor controllers. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated for single-pulse EAS ≥ 125 mJ - ensures reliability in unclamped inductive switching events like solenoid de-energization. |
| Low gate charge | QG = 58 nC and QGD = 22 nC enable efficient 100–500 kHz operation with minimal driver power dissipation and reduced EMI. |
| Enhanced body diode | trr = 55 ns and QRR = 42 nC support clean commutation in synchronous rectification without cross-conduction risk. |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile; qualified for Pb-free assembly at peak 260°C - suitable for modern automated SMT production lines. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRFZ44NPBF | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-220 package; no lead-free marking; slightly higher QG (61 nC) | Same electrical specs but through-hole mounting; less suitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select for prototyping or legacy through-hole designs where thermal mass of TO-220 is preferred. |
| STP55NF06L | RDS(on) = 20 mΩ @ 10 V; VDSS = 60 V; QG = 65 nC; TO-220FP package | Lower RDS(on) improves conduction loss but higher gate charge increases driver demand | Choose when <20 mΩ RDS(on) is required and gate drive capability supports 65 nC charge. |
Compared with IRFZ44NPBF and STP55NF06L, IRLZ44NSPBF offers optimal balance of SMT compatibility, logic-level drive, and proven avalanche ruggedness - making it preferred for space-constrained industrial motor drives where reliability under transient overload is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRLZ44NSPBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 25 A at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating due to reduced heat dissipation capability at elevated temperatures and assumes proper PCB copper area (≥1 in², 2 oz) for heatsinking.
Can IRLZ44NSPBF be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 2.0 V to 3.0 V, and it achieves full enhancement (RDS(on) ≤ 27 mΩ) at VGS = 4.5 V. A 3.3 V GPIO will provide sufficient overdrive margin for reliable switching in low-frequency (<10 kHz) applications with moderate load currents.
Does IRLZ44NSPBF have an integrated body diode, and what are its recovery characteristics?
Yes - it features a monolithic parasitic body diode with reverse recovery time (trr) of 55 ns and recovered charge (QRR) of 42 nC at IF = 25 A. These values are measured under standard conditions (VDD = 25 V, di/dt = 100 A/µs) and support use in synchronous rectification without external diode supplementation.
Is IRLZ44NSPBF suitable for avalanche operation in inductive load switching?
Yes - it is 100% tested for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 125 mJ at TJ = 25°C. This rating validates its ability to safely absorb inductive energy during unclamped turn-off events, such as solenoid or relay coil de-energization, without failure.
