Product details
Overview
IRLZ44NSTRR from Infineon Technologies is a 55 V, 49 A, 27 mΩ N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in TO-262 (DPAK) package, optimized for low-voltage DC-DC conversion and motor control switching at 10 V gate drive. It delivers RDS(on) = 27 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V, QG = 38 nC, and operates up to TJ = 175 °C - used in high-efficiency synchronous buck converters and brushed DC motor H-bridge drivers.
For engineers reviewing the IRLZ44NSTRR datasheet, IRLZ44NSTRR pinout, IRLZ44NSTRR application, or IRLZ44NSTRR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 27 mΩ on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, 49 A continuous drain current rating, SOA-limited pulse capability, body diode reverse recovery performance, and TO-262 thermal profile under PCB-mounted conditions.
Technical Context
This logic-level MOSFET uses planar V-groove silicon technology with optimized channel geometry to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining robust avalanche energy rating (EAS = 110 mJ). Its gate threshold voltage VGS(th) ranges 1.0–2.0 V, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting.
The device features an integrated body diode with trr = 60 ns and Qrr = 32 nC at IF = 25 A, VDD = 25 V, and dI/dt = 100 A/µs - critical for freewheeling path integrity in inductive switching applications like solenoid drivers and power tool controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - maximum blocking voltage before avalanche breakdown; defines safe operating range in 24 V and 48 V industrial bus systems. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 27 mΩ - conduction loss of 0.66 W at 5 A continuous drain current; enables high-efficiency operation below 100 kHz switching. |
| ID (continuous) | 49 A @ TC = 25 °C - usable current limit with standard 2 oz copper PCB heatsinking; derates to ~28 A at TC = 100 °C. |
| QG | 38 nC - total gate charge determining driver strength requirement; supports 100 kHz PWM with ≤1 Ω gate resistor. |
| EAS | 110 mJ - single-pulse avalanche energy rating; allows safe operation during inductive turn-off transients without snubbers. |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.0 V - ensures full enhancement at 3.3 V logic levels; eliminates need for external gate bias in MCU-driven loads. |
| tr/tf | 12/20 ns - fast switching transitions reduce overlap losses; enables efficient operation in hard-switched topologies. |
Pinout & Package
IRLZ44NSTRR is housed in a TO-262 (DPAK) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal conduction. The package measures 10.16 × 4.57 × 2.39 mm (0.400 × 0.180 × 0.094 in) and requires solderable thermal pad connection to PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal (connected to exposed pad) | Primary heat path to PCB; must be connected to large copper pour for thermal management below 1.5 °C/W junction-to-board. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring <100 pF layout; sensitive to ringing - needs local RC damping if driven by long traces. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Must be low-inductance path to driver ground; shared source routing affects shoot-through immunity in half-bridge configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive compatibility | Operates fully enhanced at 3.3 V and 5 V MCU outputs - eliminates level shifters in battery-powered motor control. |
| Low RDS(on) at 10 V | 27 mΩ enables <0.7 W conduction loss at 5 A - reduces heatsink requirements in space-constrained 24 V industrial actuators. |
| Robust avalanche rating | 110 mJ EAS withstands unclamped inductive switching in relay drivers and solenoid valves without external protection. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 60 ns and Qrr = 32 nC minimize reverse recovery losses in synchronous rectification and bidirectional DC-DC stages. |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 - suitable for standard reflow profiles without baking. |
Applications
| Brushed DC Motor Control | Synchronous Buck Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 24 V brushed motors in cordless power tools with PWM-based speed regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in H-bridge configuration handling peak currents up to 40 A during stall conditions. Use Value: 27 mΩ RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <0.43 W at 40 A, reducing thermal stress during intermittent high-torque operation. | Use Scenario: High-efficiency 12 V → 5 V/3.3 V point-of-load converter in industrial PLC modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier replacing Schottky diode to improve light-load efficiency and reduce heat generation. Use Value: Body diode Qrr = 32 nC and trr = 60 ns enable clean commutation at 500 kHz, cutting diode conduction loss by >65% vs. discrete diode solution. |
| DC Power Distribution Switch | Solenoid & Relay Driver |
Use Scenario: Hot-swap power switch for 48 V telecom backplane slots with inrush current limiting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main pass element controlled via gate resistor network to manage dV/dt during turn-on. Use Value: Avalanche rating of 110 mJ absorbs energy from cable inductance during hot-plug events, eliminating need for TVS clamping. | Use Scenario: Driving 24 V DC solenoids in automated valve control systems with rapid on/off cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch managing 1.2 A steady-state coil current and 15 A turn-on surge. Use Value: Fast 12 ns rise time and 20 ns fall time ensure precise timing control within 10 µs window, critical for closed-loop fluid flow regulation. |
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 | Same die, through-hole TO-220 package; RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ 10 V; higher thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.5 °C/W vs. 1.0 °C/W). | Preferred where manual assembly or prototyping on breadboard/perfboard is required. | Select when board-level rework or hand-soldering is needed; avoid in high-density SMT layouts. |
| STP55NF06L | 60 V rating, RDS(on) = 22 mΩ @ 10 V, but VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5 V; slightly higher QG (42 nC). | Better conduction efficiency at same current, but marginally slower switching due to higher gate charge. | Choose for lower conduction loss priority over switching speed in <200 kHz applications. |
Compared with IRLZ44NSTRR, IRFZ44NPBF trades thermal performance for assembly flexibility, while STP55NF06L improves RDS(on) at the cost of increased gate drive demand - both require validation of SOA curves under identical PCB thermal conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRLZ44NSTRR at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100 °C, the maximum continuous drain current is 28 A. This value is derived from the device's thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.0 °C/W) and maximum junction temperature (TJ(max) = 175 °C), assuming 10 V gate drive and adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation.
Can IRLZ44NSTRR be used in a half-bridge configuration without external bootstrap components?
No - IRLZ44NSTRR is a single N-channel MOSFET and cannot self-drive its gate above the source potential in high-side position. For half-bridge use, it must be paired with a dedicated high-side gate driver IC (e.g., IRS21844) or used exclusively in low-side switching roles.
Does IRLZ44NSTRR have built-in ESD protection on the gate terminal?
Yes - the device incorporates gate oxide protection structures rated to ±2 kV HBM per JEDEC JS-001. However, this does not replace proper PCB-level ESD safeguards such as series gate resistors and TVS diodes in high-noise industrial environments.
How does the body diode forward voltage compare to discrete Schottky diodes in synchronous rectification?
The body diode VSD is 1.3 V at 25 A, significantly higher than typical Schottky diodes (0.4–0.6 V). Its value is only relevant during dead-time conduction; in synchronous mode, the channel conducts instead - so VSD matters only for transient behavior, not steady-state efficiency.
