IRFP460 Overview

The IRFP460 is an N-channel MOSFET manufactured by Vishay. At a 10 V gate voltage, it is designed to have a high breakdown voltage of 500V and a low on-resistance of 0.27. This MOSFET can be utilized in switching converters with mains voltage input, high voltage amplifiers, and motor drivers due to its high breakdown voltage.

How to Use IRFP460?

The MOSFET is a voltage-controlled device, which means that for it to switch on, a voltage must be present at the gate (with respect to the source). The IRFP460 has a gate threshold voltage of 2V to 4V in this situation, and it only just begins to conduct at this value. The gate voltage must be at least 10V to produce the specified-on resistance of 0.27Ω. The gate voltage has a maximum limit of ±20V, after which the gate can be damaged.

In the low-side switching mode, power MOSFETs like the IRFP460 are commonly employed. The MOSFET is utilized to switch an inductive load at a frequency of 10kHz in the interactive simulation linked below. The diode across the inductor prevents the MOSFET from being damaged by voltage spikes. The 10K pulldown resistor ensures that the MOSFET is turned off by default and not unintentionally turned on.
