Product details
Overview
IRF7451 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 150V, 3.6A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SO-8 package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and synchronous rectification. It features 90mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, 28nC total gate charge, and fully characterized Coss,eff = 180pF to simplify snubberless flyback and resonant converter design.
For engineers reviewing the IRF7451 datasheet, IRF7451 pinout, IRF7451 application, or IRF7451 equivalent, key selection criteria include low Qgd/Qg ratio (0.46), avalanche-rated operation (EAS = 210mJ), and SO-8 thermal performance (RθJA = 50°C/W on standard PCB).
Technical Context
This HEXFET power MOSFET uses planar vertical DMOS structure with optimized gate oxide thickness and channel doping to achieve stable RDS(on) over temperature (±20% from −55°C to +150°C). Its low Ciss/Coss ratio (4.5:1) supports ZVS operation in LLC topologies up to 1MHz.
The device integrates a fast-recovery body diode (trr = 76ns, Qrr = 270nC) with soft recovery characteristics, enabling use in synchronous buck stages without external Schottky replacement. Gate threshold voltage (3.0–5.5V) ensures robust noise immunity in 5V logic-driven SMPS controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 150V - Supports 48V input DC-DC designs with 3× safety margin against transients |
| RDS(on) max | 0.09 Ω @ VGS = 10V - Enables <1.5W conduction loss at 3.6A continuous current |
| Qg | 28 nC - Allows efficient drive with standard 1A peak gate drivers (e.g., IR2110) |
| Coss,eff | 180 pF - Matches actual energy stored during VDS rise from 0 to 120V for accurate soft-switching timing |
| EAS | 210 mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive switching events in 200kHz flyback primary switches |
| tr/tf | 4.2/15 ns - Supports <50ns minimum on-time in high-duty-cycle buck regulators |
| TJ range | −55°C to +150°C - Qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating below 70°C |
Pinout & Package
IRF7451 is housed in a standard SO-8 surface-mount package (JEDEC MS-012AA), with exposed drain pads on pins 1–4 and 5–8 for enhanced thermal conduction. The package measures 4.9mm × 6.0mm × 1.75mm and supports reflow soldering up to 300°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 5–8 (D) | Drain (parallel-connected) | Eight-pin parallel drain configuration reduces package inductance and improves current sharing in high-di/dt applications |
| 6 (G) | Gate | Single gate terminal with 30V absolute max rating; requires series resistor ≥6.5Ω for controlled turn-on |
| 7–8 (S) | Source | Dual-source terminals minimize source inductance and improve gate-drive loop stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 0.46 - Reduces Miller-induced shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations |
| Fully characterized Coss,eff | 180pF - Eliminates iterative snubber tuning in resonant converters |
| Avalanche-rated | EAS = 210mJ - Enables reliable operation without external clamping in flyback primary switches |
| Body diode trr | 76ns - Permits synchronous rectification in secondary-side 12V/3A outputs without reverse recovery spikes |
| Lead-free (PbF) | RoHS-compliant finish - Meets IPC-J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP120N4F6 | RDS(on) = 4.6mΩ @ 10V (lower), Qg = 62nC (higher), TO-220 package | Requires heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained SO-8 layouts | Select when thermal budget allows discrete heatsinking and lower conduction loss dominates system efficiency |
| SiR872DP | RDS(on) = 8.3mΩ @ 10V, Qg = 34nC, same SO-8 footprint | Higher VDSS = 200V; not rated for repetitive avalanche | Prefer for 48V systems needing higher voltage margin but no unclamped inductive stress |
Compared with STP120N4F6 and SiR872DP, IRF7451 offers optimal balance of SO-8 integration, avalanche ruggedness, and mid-range RDS(on)/Qg for compact 150V DC-DC stages where board area and transient reliability are prioritized over ultra-low conduction loss.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gate drive voltage for IRF7451?
The absolute maximum gate-to-source voltage is ±30V, but the device is characterized and optimized for 10V drive. Operating above 12V provides negligible RDS(on) improvement while increasing gate oxide stress and ESD vulnerability. For robust 5V logic compatibility, gate threshold voltage (3.0–5.5V) ensures reliable turn-on with margin.
Can IRF7451 be used in linear regulator applications?
No - IRF7451 is not characterized for linear mode operation. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve shows pulse-limited operation only; continuous linear use risks thermal runaway due to positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on). It is strictly intended for switched-mode applications with defined duty cycle and pulse width limits per Fig 8.
Does IRF7451 require a gate resistor in typical SMPS applications?
Yes - a series gate resistor (6.5Ω minimum) is required to control dV/dt and prevent parasitic oscillation. Data sheet Fig 10b shows test conditions using RG = 6.5Ω; omitting it causes excessive ringing, increased EMI, and potential gate oxide damage during fast switching transitions.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky diodes?
The integrated body diode has VSD = 1.3V at 2.2A and trr = 76ns, which is slower and higher-drop than 0.5V Schottkys. However, its soft recovery (low di/dt sensitivity) and co-packaged layout eliminate bond-wire inductance, making it preferable in synchronous rectifiers where EMI and layout simplicity outweigh forward drop penalties.
