The IRF5850 is a silicon-based power MOSFET, meaning it is a type of power transistor. It is designed to provide high levels of switching performance in applications where power levels range from medium to very high. The IRF5850 is a part of the International Rectifier Power MOSFET series. It is known as an ‘array’ MOSFET because of its construction—a single device consists of an array of independent MOSFET cells. It is capable of delivering up to 80A of continuous drain current and up to 400V of drain-source voltage.

The device is incredibly versatile, with a wide range of application fields. For example, this power MOSFET is important in the automotive and industrial industries, since it finds use in controllers, power switching and general power supply. It is also often used as an amplifier in audio applications, while its excellent ability to switch quickly makes it ideal for high frequency circuits. Thanks to its high input impedance, it’s even suitable for servo motor control, logic level converters, motor control, and high-speed switching.

The IRF5850 also requires only minimal input power; its low on-state resistance ensures that it only uses a minimal amount of current. As a result, it is often used in battery operated devices where power saving is essential, since the device can maintain a high degree of efficiency. Combined with its array construction, this makes the IRF5850 suitable for high-current, high-voltage systems.

At the heart of its construction is the engineering of the device’s Gate-Source voltage. This is known as its threshold voltage and is a key factor in controlling the current flowing through the MOSFET. This is also known as its ‘Body Effect’ since it affects the efficiency of the device in short-circuit conditions or with high-speed switching. The Gate-Source voltage is typically around 3V, ensuring that the device is capable of performing with excellent control.

To operate the IRF5850 consistently and with high efficiency, it’s important to know the effects of temperature and the power levels at which the device operates. Power levels above the threshold voltage will cause the device to switch on. When it does, the Gate will remain in a high-impedance state until the device reaches its Safe Operating Area (SOA). The Gate-Source voltage also affects current conduction, hence the importance of monitoring power levels carefully to ensure efficiency.

Thermal issues must also be taken into account when using the IRF5850. Its fast switching capability means that it will generate heat, and the higher the Gate-Source voltage the more heat is generated. To protect it against damages, power MOSFETs are thermally enhanced with a built-in Heat Sink. This dissipates the heat and ensures optimal performance of the device.

Above all else, the IRF5850 is a device that can handle high power levels with minimal power consumption. It’s built to switch quickly, has low input power requirements, and good Gate-Source voltage control. These features make it particularly suitable for applications in the automotive, industrial, and audio industries, where fast switching and power saving are important.
