IRF540 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The IRF540 is a third-generation N-channel Power MOSFET manufactured by Vishay Siliconix. It is designed to offer a combination of fast switching, ruggedized device design, low on-resistance, and cost-effectiveness. This MOSFET is housed in a TO-220AB package, which is widely used in commercial-industrial applications for power dissipation levels up to approximately 50 W.

Key electrical specifications include a drain-source breakdown voltage of 100V and a continuous drain current of 28A at 25°C. The on-resistance (RDS(on)) is typically 0.077Ω at a gate-source voltage of 10V. It also features a maximum power dissipation of 150W at 25°C and a gate charge of 72nC (max).

The IRF540 is suitable for various applications due to its performance characteristics. Its features like dynamic dV/dt rating, repetitive avalanche rating, and a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to 175°C make it a robust choice for demanding environments. The TO-220AB package offers low thermal resistance, contributing to its wide acceptance in the industry.

This MOSFET is compliant with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC. Its simple drive requirements and ease of paralleling further enhance its utility in circuit design.
