Product Summary
Part Number BVDSS RDS(on) I D
IRLF120 100V 0.35Ω 5.3A
The Logic Level ‘L’ series of power MOSFETs are de-
signed to be operated with level logic gate-to-source
voltage of 5V. In addition to the well established
characterstics of HEXFETs
vantage of providing low drive requirements to inter-
face power loads to logic le vel IC’ s and microprocessors.
Fields of applications include: high speed power appli-
cations such as switching regulators, switching converters, motor drivers, solenoid and relay drivers and
drivers for high power bipolar switching transistors requiring high speed and low gatedrive voltage.
The HEXFET technology is the key to International
Rectifier’s advanced line of logic level power MOSFET
transistors. The efficient geometry and unique processing of the HEXFET achieve very low on-state resistance
combined with high transconductance and great device ruggedness.
