Product details
Overview
IRF3708STRL from Infineon Technologies is a 30V, 62A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification in isolated DC-DC converters. It delivers 12 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V and 13.5 mΩ at 4.5 V, with ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 24 nC) and fast switching (tf = 3.7 ns), enabling high-efficiency telecom and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRF3708STRL datasheet, IRF3708STRL pinout, IRF3708STRL application, or IRF3708STRL equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at 4.5 V for 5 V gate drive compatibility, fully characterized avalanche capability (EAS = 213 mJ), and thermal performance on standard PCB mount (RθJA = 40 °C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon HEXFET architecture with optimized cell pitch and trench-free design to minimize conduction and switching losses simultaneously. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 0.6–2.0 V) enables reliable turn-on with logic-level drivers, while the body diode exhibits low reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 64–96 nC) and fast trr (41–65 ns) for reduced shoot-through risk in synchronous buck topologies.
The device is rated for continuous operation up to TJ = 175 °C, with linear derating (0.58 W/°C) above 70 °C case temperature. Its SOA curve supports single-pulse avalanche energy up to 213 mJ at ID = 24.8 A, making it suitable for unclamped inductive switching in hard-switched converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Supports input rails up to 24 V nominal with 25% margin for transient spikes in telecom systems. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 12 mΩ max - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 62 A, critical for high-current output stages. |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 13.5 mΩ max - Ensures robust turn-on with 5 V microcontroller GPIO or PWM controller outputs. |
| Qg | 24 nC typ - Reduces gate driver power demand and switching transition time in >500 kHz designs. |
| EAS | 213 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy without failure in flyback or forward converters. |
| tf | 3.7 ns typ - Minimizes overlap loss during high-side/low-side transitions in synchronous rectifiers. |
| Qrr | 64–96 nC - Low reverse recovery charge reduces diode conduction loss and EMI in discontinuous conduction mode. |
Pinout & Package
IRF3708STRL uses the industry-standard TO-220AB package with 4 leads (lead 4 is drain-connected tab). The package features a metal tab for direct heatsink mounting and meets JEDEC outline standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives gate drive signal; requires ≤12 V absolute max rating and low-impedance driver due to 24 nC Qg. |
| 2 (Drain) | High-side current path | Connected to primary-side rail or transformer secondary; electrically tied to metal tab for thermal conduction. |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node | Serves as return path for load current and gate drive reference; must be low-inductance layout for stable switching. |
| 4 (Drain / Tab) | Thermal & electrical connection | Exposed metal tab provides primary heat dissipation path (RθJC = 1.73 °C/W) and connects internally to drain. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low gate impedance | Enables clean, fast edge rates with minimal external gate resistor, reducing switching loss in high-frequency SMPS. |
| Fully characterized avalanche | Guaranteed 213 mJ single-pulse energy withstand allows safe operation in unclamped inductive circuits without snubbers. |
| Low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | Supports direct drive from 5 V logic controllers, eliminating level-shifting circuitry in cost-sensitive industrial power modules. |
| Optimized body diode | Qrr = 64–96 nC and trr = 41–65 ns reduce reverse recovery loss and associated EMI in synchronous rectifier applications. |

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) = 16 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 44 nC; lower VDS (30 V same), higher gate charge. | Better suited for lower-frequency (<200 kHz), higher-current applications where gate drive strength is abundant. | Choose when prioritizing lowest possible RDS(on) over switching speed; avoid in >300 kHz sync rectifier designs. |
| STP30NF20 | RDS(on) = 36 mΩ @ 10 V; VDS = 200 V; higher voltage rating but significantly higher on-resistance and Qg. | Targeted at 100–200 V industrial motor drives, not telecom/SMPS where low RDS(on) and fast switching dominate. | Select only if system requires >100 V blocking voltage; unsuitable for 24–48 V high-efficiency DC-DC. |
Compared with IRL3705ZPBF and STP30NF20, IRF3708STRL uniquely balances low 4.5 V RDS(on), minimal Qg, and guaranteed avalanche ruggedness-making it optimal for high-frequency, high-current synchronous rectification where thermal and switching losses are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF3708STRL at 70°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 52 A at TC = 70°C with VGS = 10 V, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This reflects thermal derating from the 62 A rating at 25°C, based on a linear derating factor of 0.58 W/°C and RθJC = 1.73 °C/W.
Does IRF3708STRL have a lead-free RoHS-compliant variant?
Yes, IRF3708STRL is a lead-free, RoHS-compliant part indicated by the "PbF" suffix in its full ordering code (e.g., IRF3708SPbF). The "P" in the assembly line position on the package marking confirms lead-free construction per JEDEC J-STD-609.
Can IRF3708STRL be used in avalanche mode for clamping applications?
Yes-it is fully characterized for single-pulse avalanche operation with EAS = 213 mJ at ID = 24.8 A. However, repetitive avalanche is not rated; use only for infrequent, controlled energy events such as transformer leakage spike suppression in flyback converters.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for switching at 500 kHz?
A gate resistor of 1–3 Ω is recommended to balance switching speed and ringing suppression. With Qg = 24 nC and typical driver rise/fall times <10 ns, this range limits dV/dt to ~5–10 V/ns, minimizing EMI while maintaining tf < 5 ns for efficient high-frequency operation.
