Product details
Overview
IRF7240TR from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a P-Channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, designed for high-efficiency load and battery management switching. It delivers RDS(on) = 15 mΩ @ VGS = −10 V and −10.5 A continuous drain current at 25°C, with −40 V VDSS rating and integrated body diode for synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRF7240TR datasheet, IRF7240TR pinout, IRF7240TR application, or IRF7240TR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified P-channel low-side switching capability, thermal resistance of 50°C/W (surface-mounted), SO-8 leadframe-enhanced thermal performance, and body diode recovery specs (trr = 43–65 ns, Qrr = 75–110 nC) critical for synchronous buck topologies.
Technical Context
This device operates as a voltage-controlled, normally-off P-channel switch with gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranging from −1.0 V to −3.0 V and forward transconductance (gfs) of 17 S. Its SO-8 package uses a customized leadframe to improve thermal dissipation and support multi-die configurations without board area penalty.
The integrated body diode exhibits VSD = −1.2 V at −2.5 A and TJ = 25°C, with reverse recovery time and charge tightly specified for hard-switched applications. Safe operating area (SOA) is defined up to 100 µs single-pulse, limited by RDS(on) at TJ = 150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | −40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for low-voltage P-channel high-side or low-side switching in ≤36 V systems |
| RDS(on) max | 15 mΩ @ VGS = −10 V - Enables <150 mW conduction loss at 10 A, critical for portable power efficiency |
| ID continuous | −10.5 A @ TA = 25°C - Supports robust load switching in battery protection ICs and e-fuse circuits |
| trr | 43–65 ns - Confirmed fast body diode recovery for synchronous rectification in 300–500 kHz DC-DC converters |
| Qg | 73–110 nC - Gate drive energy requirement directly impacts driver selection and switching loss in PWM control |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - Measured on 1 in² Cu board; defines thermal derating slope (20 mW/°C) above 70°C ambient |
| VGS(th) | −1.0 to −3.0 V - Ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level gate drivers (e.g., −5 V or −8 V rails) |
Pinout & Package
IRF7240TR is housed in a surface-mount SO-8 package conforming to JEDEC MS-012AA outline, featuring a modified leadframe for enhanced thermal performance and multiple-die compatibility. The package supports vapor phase, infrared, and wave soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | Drain (D) | Internally paralleled drain terminals - reduce package inductance and improve current sharing in multi-die layout |
| 6 | Gate (G) | Control input - requires negative VGS for turn-on; Miller charge (Qgd = 17–26 nC) affects switching speed |
| 7, 8 | Source (S) | Power return path - tied to system ground in low-side switch configuration; body diode anode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 15 mΩ @ −10 V enables <0.1 W conduction loss at 8 A, reducing thermal design burden in space-constrained PCBs |
| Enhanced SO-8 thermal leadframe | 50°C/W RθJA improves power handling over standard SO-8 by ~30%, validated on 1 in² Cu board |
| Fast body diode recovery | trr = 43–65 ns and Qrr = 75–110 nC allow use in synchronous rectifiers without external Schottky replacement |
| Logic-level compatible gate | VGS(th) range (−1.0 to −3.0 V) ensures full enhancement with −4.5 V or −5 V gate drive, simplifying driver design |
Applications
| Battery Protection Circuit | Load Switch for USB-C PD |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar P-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF7204TRPBF | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ @ −4.5 V; lower VDSS (−30 V); higher Qg (100 nC) | Less suitable for 36 V bus systems; slower switching due to higher gate charge | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and voltage margin requirements |
| SI7157DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 12 mΩ @ −4.5 V; SO-8; −30 V VDSS; tighter VGS(th) (−1.2 to −2.4 V) | Not rated for −40 V operation; optimized for 5 V logic drive but lacks 36 V system headroom | Select only if system bus voltage remains ≤24 V and gate drive is strictly −4.5 V |
Compared with IRF7240TR, IRF7204TRPBF trades off on-resistance and voltage rating for lower cost, while SI7157DP-T1-GE3 improves low-voltage gate drive compatibility but sacrifices 36 V system safety margin-making IRF7240TR uniquely balanced for 24–36 V battery and industrial load switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating voltage for IRF7240TR in continuous DC blocking?
The IRF7240TR has a guaranteed VDSS rating of −40 V, meaning it can continuously block up to 40 V in reverse polarity without breakdown. This rating is tested at TJ = 25°C with ID = −250 µA and includes a 20% safety margin per JEDEC standards. Operation beyond this voltage risks avalanche failure even with gate grounded.
Can IRF7240TR be used as a high-side switch with 0 V to −12 V gate drive?
Yes - IRF7240TR is a P-channel device requiring negative gate-to-source voltage for turn-on. Driving the gate to −12 V (with source at −12 V) yields VGS = 0 V and keeps the device off; pulling gate to 0 V (VGS = −12 V) fully enhances it. A dedicated high-side gate driver or level-shifter is required to swing gate voltage relative to the source rail.
Does IRF7240TR require a gate resistor for ESD or switching stability?
A gate resistor (typically 10–100 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 520 pF) and PCB inductance during fast switching. While not mandatory for ESD protection (built-in gate oxide protection exists), it prevents unintended oscillation and reduces EMI in PWM applications above 100 kHz.
How does the SO-8 package modification affect thermal performance compared to standard SO-8 MOSFETs?
The IRF7240TR's SO-8 uses a customized copper leadframe that increases thermal cross-section and reduces junction-to-ambient resistance to 50°C/W (vs. typical 62–75°C/W). This is measured on a 1 in² Cu board and enables 20–30% higher continuous power dissipation before reaching 150°C junction temperature, confirmed in Fig 11's transient impedance curves.
