Electrical Specifications
* Drain-to-Source Voltage (Vds): The IRLD110PBF is rated for a maximum drain-to-source voltage of 55V, allowing it to handle a wide range of applications where moderate voltage control is required.
* Gate-to-Source Voltage (Vgs): It is designed for a gate-to-source voltage of up to 10V, which is commonly used in most MOSFET driver circuits.
* Continuous Drain Current (Id): The device can handle a continuous drain current of 30A at a temperature of 25°C, which can be higher depending on the thermal management of the system. This makes it suitable for high-power applications where current needs are significant.
* Pulsed Drain Current (Id, Pulse): The MOSFET can handle up to 120A of pulsed drain current, offering flexibility in power switching applications that require transient currents.
* Gate Charge (Qg): The gate charge (Qg) is typically 45 nC at Vgs = 10V, making it efficient for applications requiring relatively low gate drive power while maintaining fast switching characteristics.
* Total Gate-to-Source Charge (Qg, Total): The total gate charge is relatively low, which reduces the required power to drive the gate and improves switching efficiency.
* Threshold Voltage (Vgs(th)): The gate threshold voltage, which is the voltage at which the MOSFET begins to turn on, typically ranges from 1.0V to 3.0V, ensuring good control over the switching operation in most circuits.
Thermal Specifications
* Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance (RθJC): The junction-to-case thermal resistance is 3.5°C/W, which indicates how effectively the device can dissipate heat generated during operation. Lower thermal resistance is beneficial in reducing the operating temperature and improving reliability.
* Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance (RθJA): The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is around 62.5°C/W, which varies depending on the mounting configuration and cooling system. Proper heat dissipation is crucial for maintaining performance and reliability in power applications.
* Maximum Operating Junction Temperature (Tj): The maximum junction temperature is 150°C, allowing the device to operate in environments with higher ambient temperatures while maintaining reliability and performance.
