Product details
Overview
IRF3808LPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 75 V, 106 A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-262 (ISOTOP) package, featuring 7.0 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and 430 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - designed for high-current industrial motor drive inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IRF3808LPBF datasheet, IRF3808LPBF pinout, IRF3808LPBF application, or IRF3808LPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include continuous drain current derating above 100°C, gate charge (150–220 nC), body diode reverse recovery performance (trr = 93–140 ns), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.75°C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Advanced Planar Stripe processing to achieve ultra-low on-resistance per silicon area while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching capability. Its 175°C TJ rating and low RθJC support high-power density designs without forced cooling in motor control H-bridges.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode with 1.3 V forward voltage at 82 A and supports repetitive avalanche operation up to TJmax, enabled by controlled dynamic dv/dt rating (5.5 V/ns) and optimized internal inductance (LD/LS specified).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 75 V - Maximum blocking voltage in off-state; defines upper limit of DC bus voltage in half-bridge motor drives |
| RDS(on) | 7.0 mΩ max @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 82 A - Directly determines conduction loss and heatsink sizing at 106 A continuous |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 106 A - Continuous current capability with case-mounted heatsinking; enables single-device 5–7 kW motor phase legs |
| EAS | 430 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy; allows safe operation during inductive turn-off transients without snubbers |
| Qg | 220 nC max - Total gate charge; sets minimum gate driver peak current (≥3 A) and switching loss trade-off |
| RθJC | 0.75°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct mounting to cold plates with predictable ΔTJ-C |
| trr | 140 ns max - Body diode reverse recovery time; constrains maximum PWM frequency before cross-conduction risk |
Pinout & Package
TO-262 (ISOTOP) package: 3-pin, through-hole, isolated tab (drain-connected), standard footprint compatible with TO-220 heatsink mounts. Tab is electrically connected to drain.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main power output terminal | Electrically tied to metal tab; requires insulated mounting or direct cold-plate contact for thermal path |
| Source | Power return / reference node | Low-inductance source connection critical for gate drive stability and diode commutation |
| Gate | Control input | High-impedance MOS control node; requires <2.5 Ω series resistance to damp ringing during 140 ns fall time |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 7.0 mΩ enables ≤0.6 W conduction loss at 82 A, reducing heatsink mass by >40% vs. legacy 10 mΩ devices |
| 175°C TJ rating | Permits sustained operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating below 100°C case temp |
| Repetitive avalanche capability | Validated up to TJmax per Fig. 15/16; eliminates need for external avalanche-rated snubbers in motor phase-legs |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 93–140 ns with Qrr = 340–510 nC - reduces shoot-through risk and EMI in 20–50 kHz PWM inverters |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive Inverter | DC-AC Solar Microinverter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Three-phase 3–5 kW BLDC motor drive with space-constrained heatsink and no forced air.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF3205PbF | RDS(on) = 8.0 mΩ, ID = 110 A, EAS = 320 mJ, TO-220 package | Lower avalanche robustness; higher conduction loss at >60 A; requires larger heatsink | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs avalanche margin and thermal density requirements |
| STP110N8F6 | RDS(on) = 6.5 mΩ, ID = 100 A, EAS = 520 mJ, TO-220FP package | Higher avalanche energy but lower continuous current; surface-mount variant limits thermal path options | Select when higher avalanche margin is critical and PCB layout permits TO-220FP mounting |
Compared with IRF3205PbF and STP110N8F6, IRF3808LPBF offers optimal balance of low RDS(on), high continuous current, and proven repetitive avalanche behavior in through-hole industrial packages - making it preferred for thermally constrained motor drive legs where reliability under transient overloads is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-to-source voltage for IRF3808LPBF?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V. Operation beyond ±20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable switching, gate drive should be limited to +10 V to +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to 0 V for turn-off, per the device's 2.0–4.0 V threshold range and transconductance curve.
Can IRF3808LPBF be used in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes - its low RDS(on) (7.0 mΩ), fast body diode (trr = 93–140 ns), and low Qrr (340–510 nC) make it suitable for synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters up to 100 kHz. However, external gate control timing must precisely align with current zero-crossing to avoid shoot-through.
Is IRF3808LPBF lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the "PbF" suffix confirms lead-free termination and full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS-709B. The device uses matte tin plating on leads and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
Does IRF3808LPBF require a gate resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes - a series gate resistor is required to control dV/dt and suppress oscillation. For 106 A switching with 220 nC Qg, a 2.5 Ω resistor is specified in the datasheet for turn-off delay testing. Typical design values range from 1.5 Ω (fast switching, higher EMI) to 5.6 Ω (slower, lower EMI), depending on driver capability and layout parasitics.
