Product details
Overview
SPB21N10 from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode SIPMOS™ power MOSFET in PG-TO263-3-2 (D²PAK) package, rated for 100 V VDS, 21 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C, and 80 mΩ RDS(on) max at VGS = 10 V. It operates up to 175 °C junction temperature, features avalanche rating (EAS = 130 mJ), and is RoHS-compliant - used in DC-DC converters, motor control stages, and industrial power switching.
For engineers reviewing the SPB21N10 datasheet, SPB21N10 pinout, SPB21N10 application, or SPB21N10 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 V breakdown voltage, 65–80 mΩ on-resistance range, 21 A thermal-current capability, dv/dt ruggedness (6 kV/µs), and TO263-3 footprint compatibility with high-power PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar SIPMOS technology optimized for low conduction loss and robust unclamped inductive switching (UIS). Its gate threshold voltage (2.1–4.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers, while the 6.2 V gate plateau supports stable Miller region control during switching transitions.
The device integrates a fast, soft-recovery body diode (trr = 65–81.5 ns, Qrr = 153–192 nC) and exhibits low dynamic capacitances (Ciss = 650–865 pF, Coss = 140–186 pF), enabling efficient high-frequency hard-switching in SMPS and half-bridge topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100 V - Withstands up to 100 V drain-source blocking voltage, suitable for 48 V bus and 100 V industrial input systems. |
| RDS(on) max | 80 mΩ at VGS = 10 V, ID = 15 A - Limits conduction loss to ≤18 W at 15 A, enabling thermally constrained PCB designs. |
| ID cont | 21 A at TC = 25 °C - Delivers high pulsed current capability; derates to 15 A at TC = 100 °C per thermal limits. |
| EAS | 130 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - Supports reliable operation under inductive load switching without external snubbers. |
| dv/dt rating | 6 kV/µs - Resists false triggering during fast voltage transients in noisy motor drive or converter environments. |
| tr/tf | Rise time 56–84 ns, fall time 23–35 ns - Enables >500 kHz switching in hard-switched topologies with controlled EMI. |
| Qg | 28.9–38.4 nC total gate charge - Determines gate driver strength requirement (~1–2 A peak for <100 ns transition). |
Pinout & Package
SPB21N10 uses the PG-TO263-3-2 (D²PAK) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal dissipation. The case is electrically connected to the drain terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal (S) | Reference node for gate drive; connects to low-side return path and PCB ground plane. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input (G) | High-impedance MOS gate requiring low-inductance routing and 10 V drive for full enhancement. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Power output (D) | Connected to large copper pour for heat transfer; electrically tied to package backside metal tab. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Avalanche-rated operation | 130 mJ single-pulse energy handling enables robustness in inductive switching without derating. |
| High-temperature capability | Rated for continuous operation up to 175 °C junction temperature - supports sealed or high-ambient enclosures. |
| Low gate charge | Qg ≤38.4 nC reduces gate driver losses and simplifies 500 kHz+ PWM design. |
| Soft-recovery body diode | trr ≤81.5 ns and Qrr ≤192 nC minimize switching loss and ringing in synchronous rectification. |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | Fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - qualified for industrial and consumer production. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF540NPBF | Higher RDS(on) (44 mΩ min, 65 mΩ typ), lower ID (33 A), TO-220 package | Lacks avalanche rating and dv/dt ruggedness; unsuitable for inductive hard-switching | Prefer where cost sensitivity outweighs reliability requirements and thermal budget allows larger heatsink |
| STP22NF10 | Same VDS (100 V), higher RDS(on) (85 mΩ max), TO-220 package, no specified EAS | Lower thermal performance (RthJC = 2.5 K/W vs. 1.7 K/W); not rated for repetitive UIS | Acceptable only in non-critical linear or low-duty-cycle switching where avalanche stress is absent |
Compared with IRF540NPBF and STP22NF10, SPB21N10 delivers superior thermal resistance (1.7 K/W), guaranteed avalanche energy (130 mJ), and higher dv/dt immunity - making it the preferred choice for industrial motor drives and high-reliability DC-DC converters where layout-induced transients are present.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for SPB21N10?
The SPB21N10 has a specified junction temperature range of –55 °C to +175 °C. Its absolute maximum continuous operating temperature is 175 °C, validated by thermal characterization and UIS testing. Derating curves show usable current drops to 15 A at case temperature 100 °C, requiring adequate PCB copper area (≥6 cm²) for thermal management.
Does SPB21N10 require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a gate resistor is required to control dV/dt and suppress oscillation. For typical 10 V gate drive and 21 A switching, a 10–22 Ω series resistor is recommended. This balances switching speed (reducing tr/tf) against gate driver stress and EMI, especially given the device's 38.4 nC Qg and low Ciss/Coss ratio.
Can SPB21N10 be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, SPB21N10 supports paralleling due to its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (increasing ~0.6%/°C above 25 °C), which promotes current sharing. Successful implementation requires matched gate drive paths, symmetrical PCB layout, and individual gate resistors. Thermal coupling between devices must be minimized to avoid thermal runaway.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters?
Yes - the integrated body diode has characterized soft recovery (trr = 65–81.5 ns, Qrr = 153–192 nC) and low forward voltage (VSD = 0.94–1.25 V at 21 A), making it viable for synchronous rectification in medium-frequency (100–300 kHz) buck converters where external Schottky replacement is impractical.
