Product details
Overview
IRF3711PBF from Infineon Technologies is a 20 V, 110 A N-channel HEXFET Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for synchronous buck converters and high-frequency isolated 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).
For engineers reviewing the IRF3711PBF datasheet, IRF3711PBF pinout, IRF3711PBF application, or IRF3711PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V, capacitive-induced turn-on immunity, reverse recovery performance (Qrr = 61–98 nC), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.04 °C/W) for high-power-density server and telecom power designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon HEXFET architecture with optimized cell pitch and trench-free die design to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching (UIS) performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.0–3.0 V) and transconductance (gfs = 53 S) support stable operation across wide temperature ranges (–55 to +150 °C).
The device integrates a fast, low-loss body diode with trr = 48–75 ns and Qrr = 61–98 nC, enabling efficient synchronous rectification without external Schottky diodes. Its Ciss/Coss/Crss values (2980/1770/280 pF at VDS = 10 V) are tuned for minimal Miller effect in hard-switched topologies.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3713PBF | RDS(on) = 8.0 mΩ @ 4.5 V (vs. 8.5 mΩ), Qg = 32 nC - slightly lower on-resistance but higher gate charge | Better suited for 5 V gate drive only; less margin at 4.5 V due to tighter VGS(th) distribution | Select when gate drive is strictly 5 V and lowest possible RDS(on) dominates over switching loss |
| STP36NF20 | VDS = 200 V, RDS(on) = 40 mΩ @ 10 V - higher voltage rating but 6.7× higher on-resistance | Designed for 100–200 V applications (e.g., motor drives); unsuitable for 20 V server VRMs due to excessive conduction loss | Avoid for low-voltage, high-current use; consider only if system requires >100 V breakdown margin |
Compared with IRL3713PBF and STP36NF20, IRF3711PBF uniquely balances ultra-low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and validated 20 V operation-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency 12–20 V input buck converters where thermal density and avalanche ruggedness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRF3711PBF supports 69 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal derating from the 110 A rating at 25°C, based on its 0.96 W/°C linear derating factor and 120 W maximum power dissipation at TC = 25°C.
Does IRF3711PBF have a qualified avalanche energy rating?
Yes, the IRF3711PBF is fully characterized for unclamped inductive switching with a single-pulse avalanche energy rating of 460 mJ at TJ = 25°C. This rating is validated per JEDEC standard JESD24-1 and applies to conditions where IAS = 30 A and V(BR)DSS = 20 V, enabling reliable operation in inductive load switching without external protection.
Can IRF3711PBF be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No - the gate threshold voltage range is 1.0–3.0 V, but full enhancement requires ≥4.5 V for acceptable RDS(on) (8.5 mΩ). At 3.3 V, RDS(on) exceeds 15 mΩ, causing excessive conduction loss. A dedicated gate driver or level shifter is required for robust 3.3 V control.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case, and how should it be used in layout?
RθJC is 1.04 °C/W, measured from die junction to the metal tab (Pin 4). In PCB layout, the tab must be soldered to a large copper pour or heatsink using thermally conductive interface material. Avoid insulating washers unless electrically isolated mounting is required - in which case, RθCS = 0.50 °C/W must be added to the thermal path.
