IRFR5305 datasheet by International Rectifier

IRFR5305 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the IRFR5305?
  The IRFR5305 can operate safely between -55°C to 150°C, but the maximum junction temperature (TJ) should not exceed 150°C.
• How do I ensure the IRFR5305 is fully turned on?
  To ensure the IRFR5305 is fully turned on, the gate-source voltage (VGS) should be at least 10V for a logic-level gate drive, and 15V for a standard gate drive.
• What is the maximum current rating for the IRFR5305?
  The maximum continuous drain current (ID) for the IRFR5305 is 31A, but this can be increased to 62A for short pulses (e.g., 10ms).
• How do I protect the IRFR5305 from overvoltage?
  To protect the IRFR5305 from overvoltage, a voltage clamp or a zener diode can be used to limit the maximum voltage to 200V, which is the absolute maximum rating.
• What is the recommended gate resistor value for the IRFR5305?
  The recommended gate resistor value for the IRFR5305 is between 10Ω to 100Ω, depending on the specific application and switching frequency.
