Product details
Overview
IRF3704STRLPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 20V, 77A, 9.0mΩ N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification in isolated DC-DC converters and buck regulators for telecom and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRF3704STRLPBF datasheet, IRF3704STRLPBF pinout, IRF3704STRLPBF application, or IRF3704STRLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low RDS(on), fully characterized avalanche capability (216 mJ), fast switching (tr = 98 ns), low gate charge (Qg = 19 nC), and robust thermal performance (RθJC = 1.73 °C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar HEXFET structure with optimized cell pitch and trench-free die design to achieve sub-10mΩ on-resistance at 10V gate drive while maintaining low gate-drain charge (Qgd = 6.4 nC) and output capacitance (Coss = 1085 pF), enabling efficient operation above 500 kHz in hard-switched topologies.
Its body diode exhibits low forward voltage (VSD = 0.88 V @ 35.5A, TJ = 25°C) and controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 45–68 nC, trr = 38–62 ns), supporting synchronous rectification without external Schottky replacement in 12V–20V input rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12V/15V bus systems and low-voltage synchronous rectifier stages. |
| RDS(on) max | 9.0 mΩ @ VGS = 10V - Enables <1W conduction loss at 77A continuous drain current in thermally managed designs. |
| ID continuous | 77 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-current output stages in server VRMs and telecom brick converters. |
| Qg | 19 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables use with low-power PWM controllers or integrated drivers. |
| EAS | 216 mJ - Provides single-pulse avalanche ruggedness for unclamped inductive switching in flyback or LLC resonant converters. |
| tr/tf | 98 ns / 5.0 ns - Fast edge rates minimize switching transition losses in high-frequency (>300 kHz) SMPS designs. |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–3.0 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3V or 5V logic-level gate drivers without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
IRF3704STRLPBF uses the industry-standard TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), rated for 87 W maximum power dissipation at TC = 25°C and 1.73 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Gate | Control electrode | Low-impedance input requiring ≤19 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (±20 V absolute max). |
| 2 – Drain | Main current path (high-side or low-side) | Internally connected to metal tab; electrically isolated from mounting surface unless tab is soldered to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 – Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Serves as common reference for gate driver ICs; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout. |
| 4 – Drain | Secondary drain connection | Redundant drain terminal for enhanced current handling and lower package inductance in high-di/dt applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 9.0 mΩ at 10V drive enables >95% efficiency in 12V-input, 1V-output synchronous buck converters at 50A. |
| Fully characterized avalanche | 216 mJ single-pulse energy rating allows safe operation during transient overloads without external snubbers. |
| Optimized gate charge profile | Qgd/Qg ratio of ~34% reduces Miller plateau duration, improving controllability in high-dV/dt environments. |
| Enhanced body diode performance | Qrr = 45–75 nC and soft recovery support ZVS/ZCS transitions in resonant topologies without oscillation. |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | "PBF" suffix confirms Pb-free plating and halogen-free packaging per JEDEC J-STD-020 and IPC-1752 standards. |
Applications
| Telecom DC-DC Bricks | Server Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3705ZPBF | RDS(on) = 8.0 mΩ @ 4.5V, but VDS = 55V; higher Ciss (2500 pF) and Qg (42 nC) | Better suited for 3.3V/5V gate drive systems; less optimal for 10V-driven high-frequency designs due to slower switching | Select when gate drive voltage is limited to ≤5V and higher breakdown margin is required. |
| STP36NF20 | VDS = 200V, RDS(on) = 50 mΩ @ 10V, Qg = 45 nC, no avalanche rating published | Designed for 100–200V applications; unsuitable for low-voltage, high-current synchronous rectification | Only consider if system requires >100V blocking voltage-otherwise inferior efficiency and thermal performance. |
Compared with IRL3705ZPBF and STP36NF20, IRF3704STRLPBF delivers the optimal balance of low RDS(on), fast switching, and proven avalanche ruggedness specifically for 20V-class, high-frequency DC-DC converters where conduction and switching losses must both be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF3704STRLPBF at 70°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 64 A at TC = 70°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-220AB package and must be validated against actual PCB layout and heatsinking in the target application.
Does IRF3704STRLPBF have a specified avalanche energy rating?
Yes-IRF3704STRLPBF is fully characterized for unclamped inductive switching with a single-pulse avalanche energy rating of 216 mJ at TJ = 25°C. This value is measured per JEDEC standard JESD24-1 and applies to repetitive pulses only if peak junction temperature remains within -55°C to +175°C limits.
Can IRF3704STRLPBF be driven directly by a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO?
No-while its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) starts at 1.0 V, full enhancement to 9.0 mΩ RDS(on) requires ≥10 V gate drive. At 3.3 V, RDS(on) rises to ~13.5 mΩ, increasing conduction loss significantly; a dedicated gate driver or level shifter is required for reliable operation.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for IRF3704STRLPBF on a standard PCB?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 40 °C/W when mounted on a 1-inch square FR-4 PCB (per application note AN-994). This value assumes recommended copper pour area and via placement; actual RθJA will vary with board stack-up, copper weight, and airflow conditions.
