The IRF720STRPBF is an N-channel MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) from International Rectifier, now part of Infineon Technologies. It's designed for high-speed switching applications and offers a good balance between on-resistance and gate charge, making it suitable for various power management and motor control circuits.
Applications:
- Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)
- DC-DC converters
- Motor control circuits
- Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
- Solid-state relays
Features:
- N-Channel MOSFET
- Avalanche rated
- Dynamic dv/dt rating
- 175°C operating temperature
- Fast switching
- RoHS compliant
- Available in a D2PAK (TO-263) package for efficient heat dissipation.
Benefits:
- Improved efficiency in power conversion due to low on-resistance (RDS(on)).
- Reduced switching losses because of the fast switching speed, allowing for higher frequency operation.
- Enhanced reliability with its robust design and high operating temperature.
- Simplified thermal management facilitated by the D2PAK package.
- Compliance with environmental regulations due to its RoHS compliance.
Additional Details:
Key specifications include a drain-source voltage (Vds) of 400V, a continuous drain current (Id) of 6.7A, and a typical on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 0.8 Ohms at a gate-source voltage (Vgs) of 10V. The gate charge (Qg) is typically around 17 nC. The avalanche energy is rated at 24 mJ. The device is designed to withstand high dv/dt values, preventing spurious turn-on events. The D2PAK package allows for surface mounting and efficient heat transfer to the PCB.
