Product details
Overview
IRF7203TR from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 30 V VDS, 4.7 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, and 28 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V. It serves as a low-side switching device in DC-DC converters, motor drivers, and load management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRF7203TR datasheet, IRF7203TR pinout, IRF7203TR application, or IRF7203TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its logic-level gate drive compatibility (VGS(th) max 2.5 V), fast switching speed (trise = 12 ns, tfall = 10 ns), thermal resistance (RθJC = 50°C/W), and SOA-limited pulsed current capability of 18.8 A.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted channel design to achieve low conduction loss while maintaining robust avalanche ruggedness (EAS = 32 mJ at TJ = 25°C). Its gate charge profile (Qg = 11 nC, Qgs = 2.5 nC) supports efficient PWM operation in high-frequency synchronous buck stages.
The device features a fully rated body diode with reverse recovery time trr = 35 ns and peak recovery di/dt capability of 100 A/μs - enabling use in freewheeling paths without external Schottky supplementation in moderate-power applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche onset; defines upper limit for input rail in 24 V systems. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS=10 V | 28 mΩ typical - Conduction loss of 622 mW at 4.7 A DC; enables thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID (continuous) | 4.7 A @ TC = 25°C - Sustained current handling under heatsinked conditions; derates to 2.9 A at 100°C case temp. |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.5 V - Guaranteed turn-on with 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO; eliminates need for level-shifting gate drivers. |
| Qg | 11 nC - Total gate charge determines driver strength requirement; compatible with low-power gate drivers like TC4420. |
| EAS | 32 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; supports inductive load switching without snubbers in <10 W loads. |
Pinout & Package
IRF7203TR is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement. The package measures 6.7 mm × 6.2 mm × 2.4 mm and is RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control terminal | Receives voltage-controlled signal to modulate channel conductivity; requires <2.5 V threshold for full enhancement. |
| 2 (Drain) | Power output node | Connected to high-side load or inductor node; electrically tied to exposed copper pad for thermal and electrical conduction. |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node | Serves as return path for load current and gate drive reference; forms common node with driver ground in low-side configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced with 3.3 V or 5 V logic; eliminates external level shifters in MCU-driven switches. |
| Low RDS(on) × Qg figure-of-merit | 308 mΩ·nC - Balances conduction and switching losses for >100 kHz DC-DC operation. |
| 100% avalanche tested | Each unit validated per JEDEC JESD22-A112; ensures reliability in inductive switching failure modes. |
| Enhanced ESD protection | HBM rating >2 kV - Reduces risk of gate oxide damage during board assembly and handling. |
Applications
| Brushless DC Motor Gate Driver | USB-C Power Delivery Load Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Low-side switch in 3-phase BLDC inverter half-bridge stage driving 12 V fans or small pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: N-channel power switch controlling phase current flow; synchronized to PWM carrier at 20–50 kHz. Use Value: 28 mΩ RDS(on) limits I²R loss to <650 mW at 4 A, enabling compact thermal design without forced air. | Use Scenario: Inrush current limiter and hot-swap controller for 5–20 V USB-C PD power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Load switch enabling controlled ramp-up of downstream capacitance; driven by dedicated PD controller GPIO. Use Value: 1.0–2.5 V VGS(th) allows direct interface with CYPD3177/CYPD3125 GPIO; trise/tfall <15 ns prevents overshoot during soft-start. |
| Industrial PLC Digital Output Module | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
Use Scenario: Solid-state replacement for electromechanical relays in 24 V DC digital output cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side driver switching solenoids, valves, or indicator LEDs; operated in on/off mode with <10 ms response. Use Value: 32 mJ EAS withstands inductive kickback from 24 V/1 A solenoids without clamping diodes. | Use Scenario: Interior lighting dimming and seat/mirror actuator control in 12 V automotive subsystems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP30NF20 | 200 V VDS, 30 A ID, TO-220 package, RDS(on) = 40 mΩ @ 10 V | Higher voltage rating but larger footprint and higher RDS(on); suited for 24–48 V industrial inputs. | Select when system input exceeds 30 V or higher current (>5 A) is required; not drop-in due to package and thermal profile mismatch. |
| DMN3025LSD-13 | 30 V VDS, 5.8 A ID, SO-8 package, RDS(on) = 25 mΩ @ 4.5 V | Lower gate threshold (1.5 V typ), dual-N in SO-8; better for space-constrained dual-switch designs. | Prefer for ultra-compact 3.3 V logic-driven dual-switch topologies; requires PCB redesign for SO-8 vs. D-Pak layout. |
Compared with STP30NF20 and DMN3025LSD-13, IRF7203TR offers optimal balance of D-Pak thermal performance, 3.3 V logic compatibility, and cost-effective single-device implementation for sub-5 A 12–24 V loads - making it ideal for volume industrial and automotive body electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for IRF7203TR?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175°C per the official Infineon datasheet. Continuous operation above 150°C requires derating of drain current and must account for package thermal resistance (RθJC = 50°C/W) and PCB copper area. Thermal shutdown is not integrated; external monitoring is required for safety-critical applications.
Does IRF7203TR have built-in ESD protection?
Yes - IRF7203TR features on-chip gate protection diodes and is rated for Human Body Model (HBM) ESD >2 kV. This provides robustness against static discharge during PCB assembly and handling, though proper grounding practices and anti-static workstations remain essential for high-yield manufacturing.
Can IRF7203TR be used in synchronous rectification?
No - IRF7203TR is not optimized for synchronous rectification. Its body diode reverse recovery time (trr = 35 ns) and Qrr are higher than dedicated sync rectifiers like IRF7832, leading to increased switching loss and potential shoot-through risk in high-frequency flyback or LLC topologies.
Is there a lead-free and RoHS-compliant version of IRF7203TR?
Yes - the standard IRF7203TR is manufactured in full compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and uses lead-free terminations. The part marking "PbF" (e.g., IRF7203PbF) explicitly denotes the lead-free variant, which shares identical electrical specifications and thermal performance with the TR suffix version.
