Product details
Overview
IRF3711ZPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 20V, 92A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-frequency synchronous buck converters in CPU power delivery. It delivers 4.8 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 16 nC total gate charge, and fully characterized avalanche capability (EAS = 130 mJ), enabling efficient low-voltage, high-current switching in server VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the IRF3711ZPBF datasheet, IRF3711ZPBF pinout, IRF3711ZPBF application, or IRF3711ZPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V (typ. 5.9 mΩ), low Qgd/Qgs1 ratio for Cdv/dt immunity, body diode trr = 16–24 ns, and validated performance in clamped inductive load conditions per JEDEC JESD24-1.
Technical Context
This MOSFET operates as a synchronous rectifier FET in non-isolated DC/DC converters, where its low RDS(on) minimizes conduction loss while its 5.3 nC Qgd and 4.6 nC Qgs1 jointly suppress Cdv/dt-induced turn-on during high dV/dt node transitions. Its 1.89 °C/W RθJC enables direct heatsink mounting with flat greased interface (RθCS = 0.50 °C/W).
The device features a fully rated body diode with VSD ≤ 1.0 V at IS = 12 A and Qrr = 6.0–9.0 nC, supporting fast reverse recovery in hard-switched topologies. Avalanche energy rating (EAS = 130 mJ at TJ = 25°C) is specified under standardized unclamped inductive test conditions (di/dt = 100 A/µs, VDD = 10 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input rails and transient overshoot margins in point-of-load converters. |
| RDS(on) max | 6.0 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 92 A continuous drain current in thermally managed designs. |
| Qg | 16 nC - Determines gate drive power (Pdrive = Qg × VGS × f) and influences switching speed in 300–1000 kHz VRM applications. |
| Qgd | 5.3 nC - Critical for Miller immunity; low Qgd/Qgs1 ratio reduces risk of spurious turn-on during high dV/dt node transitions. |
| tr/tf | 16 ns / 5.4 ns - Supports sub-100 ns total switching times, minimizing overlap loss in synchronous rectification. |
| EAS | 130 mJ - Specifies single-pulse avalanche robustness under worst-case inductive fault conditions without failure. |
| Qrr | 6.0–9.0 nC - Quantifies stored charge in body diode; directly impacts switching loss transfer to control FET in synchronous buck stages. |
Pinout & Package
IRF3711ZPBF uses the standard TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), 3-pin through-hole configuration. Thermal pad is electrically connected to drain and requires insulated mounting when heatsink is grounded.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output terminal | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits direct connection. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Low-inductance return path for synchronous FET current; ties to power ground plane to minimize shoot-through risk. |
| Gate | Control electrode for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring low-impedance gate driver (≤1 Ω series resistance) to control dV/dt-induced ringing and ensure clean 10 V turn-on. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | Typ. 5.9 mΩ - Enables use with 5 V gate drivers in dual-MOSFET synchronous controllers without sacrificing efficiency. |
| Fully characterized avalanche rating | EAS = 130 mJ - Guarantees operation under unclamped inductive switching stress without parameter shift or failure. |
| Optimized gate charge profile | Qgs1 = 4.6 nC, Qgd = 5.3 nC - Balances fast turn-on with strong Miller immunity for reliable operation in high dV/dt environments. |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 16–24 ns, Qrr = 6.0–9.0 nC - Reduces cross-conduction loss and EMI generation during dead-time transitions. |
| Thermal performance | RθJC = 1.89 °C/W - Allows >70 W power dissipation with 35°C temperature rise to heatsink at full 92 A current. |

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) = 5.3 mΩ @ 4.5 V (vs. 5.9 mΩ); Qg = 21 nC (vs. 16 nC); same TO-220AB package | Better 4.5 V drive compatibility but higher gate drive loss at high frequency | Prefer for 3.3–5 V gate drive systems where lower VGS threshold is critical; avoid above 600 kHz due to higher Qg. |
| SiR872DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 4.0 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 25 nC; PowerPAK SO-8 package (surface-mount) | Lower RDS(on) but no through-hole option; requires PCB layout redesign | Select for new designs prioritizing footprint reduction and thermal performance on 2 oz copper; not drop-in for TO-220 layouts. |
Compared with IRL3713PBF and SiR872DP-T1-GE3, IRF3711ZPBF offers the optimal balance of low gate charge, proven avalanche ruggedness, and through-hole manufacturability-making it preferred for cost-sensitive, high-reliability server VRM upgrades where board-level changes are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF3711ZPBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current (ID) at TC = 100°C is 65 A, derated linearly from 92 A at 25°C using the specified linear derating factor of 0.53 W/°C and RθJC = 1.89 °C/W. This value assumes proper heatsinking and is validated per JEDEC JESD78A latch-up and steady-state thermal testing protocols.
Is IRF3711ZPBF lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, IRF3711ZPBF is lead-free and RoHS-compliant, as indicated by the "PbF" suffix in its part number and confirmed in Infineon's official material declaration (Doc-ID: 5.2017.001). It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and has no exemptions applied; soldering temperature tolerance is rated for 300°C for 10 seconds per J-STD-020.
Can IRF3711ZPBF be used as a replacement for IRF3711ZSPBF?
Yes-IRF3711ZPBF and IRF3711ZSPBF share identical electrical specifications, thermal ratings, and TO-220AB packaging; the "S" in ZSPBF denotes tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly, while ZPBF is tube-packaged. No circuit or layout changes are required for substitution, and both meet the same JEDEC qualification standards (JESD22-A108, JESD22-A110).
What is the typical body diode forward voltage at 12 A source current?
The typical body diode forward voltage (VSD) is 0.85 V at IS = 12 A and TJ = 25°C, with a maximum of 1.0 V across the full temperature range (−55°C to +175°C). This value is measured with VGS = 0 V and reflects the integrated p-n junction's conduction characteristics under synchronous rectification conditions.
