Product details
Overview
IRF3711 from Infineon Technologies is a 20 V, 110 A N-channel HEXFET Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized as a synchronous rectifier FET in high-frequency DC-DC converters. It features 6.0 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 29–44 nC), and fully characterized avalanche capability (EAS = 460 mJ). Used in telecom server power supplies and isolated buck converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRF3711 datasheet, IRF3711 pinout, IRF3711 application, or IRF3711 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V (≤8.5 mΩ), capacitive-induced turn-on immunity, reverse recovery performance (Qrr = 61–98 nC), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.04 °C/W).
Technical Context
The IRF3711 employs planar vertical DMOS structure with optimized cell pitch for low on-resistance and fast switching. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.0–3.0 V) enables robust 4.5 V logic-level drive, while low Crss (280 pF) and Ciss (2980 pF) support MHz-range operation in synchronous buck topologies.
It integrates a low-VSD body diode (0.82–0.88 V at 30 A) with controlled reverse recovery (trr = 48–75 ns, Qrr = 61–98 nC), critical for minimizing shoot-through loss in synchronous rectification. Avalanche-rated to 30 A IAR and 460 mJ EAS, it withstands unclamped inductive switching stress without external snubbing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage for low-voltage synchronous rectification in ≤12 V output rails. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 6.0 mΩ max - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 110 A, critical for high-current server VRMs. |
| Qg | 29–44 nC - Low total gate charge reduces driver power and enables efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz switching. |
| trr / Qrr | 48–75 ns / 61–98 nC - Fast, predictable body diode recovery minimizes cross-conduction loss in sync-buck phase nodes. |
| RθJC | 1.04 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting for >100 W continuous dissipation with manageable junction rise. |
| EAS | 460 mJ - Rated single-pulse avalanche energy supports reliable operation under transient overcurrent or inductive turn-off stress. |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–3.0 V - Ensures clean turn-on with standard 3.3 V/5 V logic drivers and immunity to noise-induced false triggering. |
Pinout & Package
IRF3711 is housed in a TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), rated for 120 W at TC = 25°C and featuring industry-standard mechanical footprint per JEDEC outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Gate | Control electrode | High-impedance input requiring <44 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (±20 V rating). |
| 2 - Drain | Main current sink | Internally connected to metal tab; electrically tied to heatsink - requires isolation if heatsink is grounded. |
| 3 - Source | Current return path | Reference node for gate drive; carries full load current and body diode reverse recovery current. |
| 4 - Drain | Secondary drain connection | Redundant drain terminal for lower inductance and improved current sharing in high-di/dt applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | ≤8.5 mΩ - Enables direct compatibility with 5 V and 3.3 V PWM controllers without level-shifting. |
| Capacitive-induced turn-on immunity | Validated via dV/dt stress testing - prevents false turn-on during high dv/dt switching transitions in half-bridge nodes. |
| Fully characterized avalanche | Rated for 30 A IAR and 460 mJ EAS - eliminates need for external clamping in synchronous rectifier applications with leakage inductance. |
| Low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd) | 8.9 nC - Reduces Miller effect, enabling stable high-speed switching with minimal gate oscillation. |
| Optimized body diode | VSD = 0.82–0.88 V @ 30 A - Minimizes forward conduction loss during dead-time conduction in synchronous rectification. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF3710 | 40 V VDS, 105 A ID, 8.0 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V | Higher voltage margin but higher conduction loss; less suitable for ≤12 V output rails where 20 V rating suffices. | Select when system requires >25 V transient tolerance or legacy board reuse with 40 V design margin. |
| SiR872DP | 25 V VDS, 100 A ID, 4.0 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V, PowerPAK SO-8 package | Lower RDS(on) and surface-mount form factor; lacks TO-220 thermal mass and avalanche rating (EAS not specified). | Select for space-constrained PCBs needing superior RDS(on), accepting trade-off in ruggedness and thermal handling. |
Compared with IRF3710, IRF3711 offers 25% lower RDS(on) and better 4.5 V drive capability; versus SiR872DP, it provides proven avalanche robustness and higher thermal capacity in through-hole mounting - critical for industrial and telecom reliability requirements.

FAQ
Is IRF3711 suitable for 3.3 V gate drive?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage range (1.0–3.0 V) and guaranteed RDS(on) ≤8.5 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V make it compatible with 3.3 V logic drivers when used with appropriate gate resistors and layout to ensure full enhancement. However, peak performance (6.0 mΩ) requires ≥10 V drive.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies 69 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C and VGS = 10 V. This derating reflects thermal limits of the TO-220AB package and must be validated against actual heatsink conditions and ambient airflow in the target application.
Does IRF3711 have avalanche capability, and is it tested per JEDEC JESD24-1?
Yes - IRF3711 is fully characterized for unclamped inductive switching with rated IAR = 30 A and EAS = 460 mJ. Test conditions and waveforms (Fig. 12a–c) align with JEDEC JESD24-1 methodology, and the device is qualified for repetitive avalanche in production lots.
Can IRF3711 replace IRF3711PbF, IRF3711SPbF, or IRF3711LPbF in existing designs?
Yes - all three suffixes denote lead-free variants (PbF) in different packages: TO-220AB (IRF3711PbF), D2Pak (IRF3711SPbF), and TO-262 (IRF3711LPbF). The electrical specifications, thermal parameters, and silicon die are identical; only mechanical form factor and thermal interface differ.
