Product details
Overview
IRF7379 from International Rectifier is a dual N-Channel and P-Channel complementary MOSFET in a single SO-8 package, configured as a half-bridge power stage. It delivers 30V/–30V VDSS, 5.8A/–4.3A continuous drain current at 25°C, and ultra-low RDS(on) of 0.045Ω (N-Ch) / 0.090Ω (P-Ch) at VGS = ±10V, enabling high-efficiency synchronous buck and H-bridge motor control in space-constrained DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRF7379 datasheet, IRF7379 pinout, IRF7379 application, or IRF7379 equivalent, key selection criteria include complementary channel pairing, SO-8 thermal performance (RθJA = 50°C/W), avalanche rating, and gate charge values (Qg = 7.7nC / 18nC) critical for PWM switching loss optimization.
Technical Context
The IRF7379 integrates two discrete HEXFET® Power MOSFETs - one N-channel and one P-channel - on a shared leadframe within an SO-8 package modified for enhanced thermal conduction and multi-die capability. Its complementary structure supports bidirectional current flow without external level-shifting circuitry in low-side/high-side configurations.
Each channel is fully avalanche-rated and specified for operation across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. The N-channel device exhibits typical gfs = 520 mS and Qgd = 2.9 nC; the P-channel shows gfs = 440 mS and Qgd = 2.9 nC - enabling matched dynamic response in push-pull topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | N-Ch: 30V; P-Ch: –30V - defines maximum blocking voltage in half-bridge leg before breakdown |
| RDS(on) | N-Ch: 0.045Ω @ VGS = 10V; P-Ch: 0.090Ω @ VGS = –10V - determines conduction loss at rated load current |
| ID (25°C) | N-Ch: 5.8A; P-Ch: –4.3A - sets continuous output current capability with standard PCB mounting |
| Qg | N-Ch: 7.7nC; P-Ch: 18nC - governs gate drive power and switching speed in PWM applications |
| RθJA | 50°C/W - quantifies thermal resistance from junction to ambient on FR-4 board, guiding heatsinking needs |
| trr / Qrr | N-Ch: 72ns / 25nC; P-Ch: 93ns / 25nC - impacts body diode recovery losses during dead-time commutation |
Pinout & Package
IRF7379 uses an SO-8 surface-mount package with exposed drain pads optimized for thermal dissipation via vapor-phase, infrared, or wave soldering. The leadframe is customized for improved thermal characteristics and dual-die integration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G1) | N-Channel Gate | Controls N-MOSFET turn-on; requires ≥10V for full enhancement and minimal RDS(on) |
| 2 (S1) | N-Channel Source | Common source node for N-channel; connects to ground or low-side return path |
| 3 (D1) | N-Channel Drain | High-side output node in half-bridge; ties to input rail or inductor connection point |
| 4 (D2) | P-Channel Drain | Shared drain terminal with D1 - forms common switching node in complementary half-bridge |
| 5 (S2) | P-Channel Source | Connects to positive supply rail; serves as high-side reference for P-MOSFET |
| 6 (G2) | P-Channel Gate | Controls P-MOSFET turn-on; driven negative relative to S2 for full enhancement |
| 7, 8 | Drain (N+P) | Internally connected drain terminals (D1/D2); primary thermal path to PCB copper |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complementary N+P Channel Pair | Enables compact half-bridge implementation without external logic-level translation or discrete layout matching |
| Fifth Generation HEXFET® Process | Achieves 0.045Ω/0.090Ω RDS(on) in SO-8 - reduces conduction loss by >30% vs. prior-gen dual MOSFETs |

| Enhanced SO-8 Thermal Leadframe | Supports 2.5W power dissipation at 25°C ambient - enables higher current density than standard SO-8 |
Applications
| DC-DC Synchronous Buck Converter | H-Bridge Motor Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Step-down voltage regulation in portable industrial controllers with 12V input and 3.3V/5V output rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: N-channel switches high-side; P-channel serves as synchronous rectifier low-side switch in fixed-frequency PWM topology. Use Value: Dual-channel integration eliminates layout mismatch, reduces gate drive complexity, and cuts board area by 40% vs. discrete pairs. | Use Scenario: Bidirectional 24V brushed DC motor control in automated gate actuators requiring stall-tolerant operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Complementary pair forms full H-bridge leg; N-channel drives motor to ground, P-channel drives to supply under PWM control. Use Value: Matched RDS(on) and Qg ensure symmetrical rise/fall times, minimizing shoot-through risk during direction reversal. |
| USB-C Power Delivery Sink | LED Backlight Dimming Circuit |
Use Scenario: Input power path management in USB-C PD sink devices supporting 20V/3A input with overvoltage protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: N-channel acts as input enable switch; P-channel provides reverse polarity protection and OR-ing function. Use Value: Integrated complementary pair allows single-package input stage with <100mV forward drop at 3A and fast fault isolation. | Use Scenario: High-efficiency dimming control for 12V LED arrays in automotive interior lighting modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: P-channel modulates LED current path; N-channel handles PWM timing and current sensing feedback loop grounding. Use Value: Low Qgd (2.9nC each) ensures sharp edge transitions at 1–20kHz PWM frequencies, eliminating visible flicker. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar complementary MOSFET half-bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7851DP | N-Ch RDS(on) = 0.035Ω @ 10V; P-Ch RDS(on) = 0.065Ω @ –10V - lower on-resistance but higher Qg (12nC/24nC) | Better efficiency at light loads; less suitable for high-frequency (>500kHz) switching due to gate charge penalty | Prefer when conduction loss dominates; verify gate driver can source/sink 2.5× more peak current |
| DMC2038LSD | SO-8 package; N-Ch RDS(on) = 0.052Ω; P-Ch RDS(on) = 0.11Ω - higher RDS(on) but tighter VGS(th) tolerance (±0.3V) | Improved gate threshold consistency aids analog linear-mode operation (e.g., hot-swap controllers) | Select when precise turn-on voltage matching matters more than absolute RDS(on) minimization |
Compared with Si7851DP and DMC2038LSD, IRF7379 offers balanced trade-offs: moderate RDS(on), proven avalanche ruggedness, and SO-8 thermal reliability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial motor and DC-DC designs where robustness outweighs marginal efficiency gains.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating junction temperature for IRF7379?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C per datasheet specifications. Operation above this limit risks permanent parametric shift or catastrophic failure. Derating begins at 25°C ambient using the linear derating factor of 0.02 W/°C, meaning power dissipation must be reduced by 20mW for every 1°C rise above 25°C ambient.
Can IRF7379 be used in linear (analog) mode for hot-swap or current-limit applications?
Yes - both channels support linear-mode operation with verified safe operating area (SOA) curves in Figures 1–4 and 11–14. The N-channel supports 1.0A continuous at VDS = 10V and TJ = 25°C; the P-channel supports –1.0A at VDS = –10V. Thermal design must account for localized heating under constant bias.
Is the IRF7379 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the part number suffix "PbF" explicitly denotes lead-free and RoHS-compliant construction. The package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and is qualified for vapor phase, infrared, and wave soldering per manufacturer guidelines.
How does the shared drain (D1/D2) configuration affect PCB layout?
The internal connection between D1 and D2 creates a single high-current switching node - requiring a low-inductance, wide copper pour tied directly to the input capacitor's negative terminal. Layout must avoid routing sensitive gate traces near this node to prevent coupling-induced false triggering during dv/dt transients up to ±5V/ns.
