Product details
Overview
AUIRFR3710Z from Infineon is an automotive-grade N-channel D-Pak HEXFET® Power MOSFET with 100 V VDS, 18 mΩ max RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 42 A package-limited continuous drain current, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature-designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and motor control in engine management systems.
For engineers reviewing the AUIRFR3710Z datasheet, AUIRFR3710Z pinout, AUIRFR3710Z application, or AUIRFR3710Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.05 °C/W RθJC, 69 nC total gate charge, 35 ns typical reverse recovery time, and validated repetitive avalanche capability up to TJmax.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Infineon's advanced silicon process to achieve ultra-low on-resistance per die area while maintaining robust thermal performance. Its 175 °C rated junction enables operation in under-hood environments without derating, and its 220 A pulsed drain rating supports high peak-load switching in starter solenoid drivers and fuel pump controllers.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 35–53 ns, Qrr = 41–62 nC) and supports unclamped inductive switching with single-pulse avalanche energy of 200 mJ (tested) and repetitive avalanche energy up to 150 mJ-critical for load dump protection and relay driving in 12 V automotive systems.

Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Fuel Injector Driver | Automotive DC-DC Converter Primary Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-speed switching of 12 V fuel injectors with 2 ms pulse width and 10 Hz repetition rate. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch controlling injector coil current; handles 42 A peak with minimal voltage drop. Use Value: 18 mΩ RDS(on) limits I²R loss to ≤31 W at peak current, enabling compact PCB layout without forced air cooling. | Use Scenario: Primary-side synchronous rectifier in 12 V → 5 V/3.3 V buck converter for ADAS camera modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-frequency (500 kHz) power switch with fast turn-on/off to minimize dead-time losses. Use Value: 69 nC Qg and 43 ns rise time support efficient switching at 500 kHz with standard gate drivers (e.g., UCC27531). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL130N10F7 | 100 V, 130 A, 5.8 mΩ RDS(on), PowerFLAT 5x6 package, 150 °C TJ | Higher current rating but lower thermal robustness; requires larger PCB copper area for heat spreading | Select when higher continuous current and lower conduction loss are prioritized over under-hood thermal margin |
| IRF3710PBF | 100 V, 57 A, 26 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package, non-automotive grade | No AEC-Q101 qualification; lacks repetitive avalanche rating and 175 °C operation | Acceptable only for non-safety-critical 12 V industrial controls where qualification is not mandated |
Compared with STL130N10F7 and IRF3710PBF, AUIRFR3710Z uniquely balances automotive qualification, 175 °C operation, and 18 mΩ on-resistance in a thermally optimized D-Pak-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability engine bay applications where thermal cycling and transient immunity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 42 A operation?
The AUIRFR3710Z sustains 42 A continuous drain current only when case temperature (TC) remains at or below 25 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. At higher case temperatures, current must be linearly derated using the 0.95 W/°C factor and RθJC = 1.05 °C/W to prevent exceeding 175 °C junction temperature.
Does AUIRFR3710Z require a gate resistor for automotive PWM applications?
Yes-a gate resistor (typically 6.8 Ω, per Fig. 12a test circuit) is required to control dV/dt and suppress oscillation during switching. The 69–100 nC total gate charge necessitates careful driver sizing; undersized drivers cause excessive switching losses and localized heating at the gate bond wire.
Can AUIRFR3710Z replace IRF3710 in existing designs?
No direct drop-in replacement: although both share 100 V rating and D-Pak package, AUIRFR3710Z has tighter RDS(on) (18 mΩ vs. 26 mΩ), higher TJ (175 °C vs. 175 °C same), and AEC-Q101 qualification-requiring validation of thermal margins, gate drive strength, and system-level reliability testing before substitution.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification in buck converters?
Yes-the body diode exhibits 35–53 ns reverse recovery time and 41–62 nC Qrr, making it viable for synchronous rectification at ≤500 kHz in 12 V input buck stages. However, external Schottky diodes remain preferred for >1 MHz operation due to lower Qrr and zero recovery loss.
