Could some electronics guru please clarify this a bit ? The SPICE specification for the power MOSFET IRFZ44 states:
What exactly does the first part mean, i.e., maximum drain-source current of 50A at drain voltage of 60 V ? Thanks in advance.
Look at the data sheet. No, you can't have them all at once.
Most Likely Vdss, Id, Rds(on). But it doesn't match the specs in the data sheet.
The datasheet has Vdss =3D 55V, Id =3D 49A, Rds(on) =3D 17.5mOhm
BVDss 60V Rds(on) 0.028 ohms (actually 0.024 in IR datasheet) Id max 50A at 25C
This doesn't mean that it will support 60 volts whilst passing 50 amps. It won't. Refer to safe operating area in datasheet.
