Product details
Overview
IRF7456PBF from Infineon Technologies is a logic-level N-channel MOSFET optimized for synchronous rectification in high-frequency DC-DC converters, featuring 20 V VDS, 6.5 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V VGS, 16 A continuous drain current, and SO-8 package. It enables efficient 48 V telecom input converters with low gate charge (41 nC typical) and fast switching (tr = 25 ns).
For engineers reviewing the IRF7456PBF datasheet, IRF7456PBF pinout, IRF7456PBF application, or IRF7456PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V, diode reverse recovery performance (Qrr = 74–110 nC), avalanche energy rating (EAS = 250 mJ), thermal resistance (RθJA = 50 °C/W), and SO-8 lead-free compliance.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate HEXFET structure to achieve ultra-low on-resistance with logic-level gate drive compatibility down to 2.8 V. Its body diode is fully characterized for reverse recovery (trr = 48–72 ns, Qrr = 74–110 nC), enabling reliable synchronous rectification without external Schottky replacement in compact 48 V input topologies.
The device supports repetitive avalanche operation (IAR = 16 A, EAR = 0.25 mJ) and features tightly specified gate threshold (VGS(th) = 0.6–2.0 V) and transconductance (gfs = 44 S typical), ensuring stable turn-on behavior across temperature and manufacturing variation in SMPS feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12 V/24 V/48 V intermediate bus DC-DC stages |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 6.5 mΩ max - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 13 A in 48 V→12 V synchronous buck |
| Qg | 41–62 nC - Low total gate charge reduces driver power and enables >1 MHz switching |
| tr/tf | 25 ns / 52 ns - Fast edge rates minimize overlap loss in synchronous rectifier FETs |
| EAS | 250 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche robustness supports unclamped inductive turn-off stress |

| Qrr | 74–110 nC - Quantified body diode recovery charge critical for ZVS/ZCS soft-switching design |
Pinout & Package
IRF7456PBF is housed in a standard SO-8 surface-mount package with exposed drain pads for enhanced thermal performance. The package conforms to EIA-481 and EIA-541 tape-and-reel standards and is lead-free (PbF) compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Parallel-connected internal drain terminals - tied to PCB power plane for low-inductance, high-current path |
| 5 | Gate (G) | Control terminal - requires <62 nC charge to fully enhance; sensitive to ESD (±12 V rating) |
| 6 | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing - common return for synchronous rectifier output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 7.5 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V - eliminates need for gate boosters in 5 V or 3.3 V controller designs |
| Low Qgd/Qgs ratio | 18–27 nC / 9.7–15 nC - reduces Miller effect, improving noise immunity during hard switching |
| Fully characterized body diode | trr = 48–72 ns, Qrr = 74–110 nC - enables accurate dead-time optimization in synchronous rectifiers |
| Avalanche-rated | EAS = 250 mJ, IAR = 16 A - withstands transient overvoltage events without derating in telecom power supplies |
| Thermal stability | RDS(on) tempco = +0.024 V/°C - predictable on-resistance rise ensures consistent current sharing in parallel configurations |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 70°C ambient?
The IRF7456PBF supports 13 A continuous drain current at TA = 70°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard SO-8 mounting on FR-4 with 1-inch² copper and accounts for thermal derating (0.02 W/°C) beyond 25°C ambient.
Does IRF7456PBF have a specified reverse recovery time for its body diode?
Yes - the body diode reverse recovery time (trr) is specified as 48–72 ns at TJ = 25°C, IF = 2.5 A, and di/dt = 100 A/µs. This parameter is fully characterized and published in the Diode Characteristics section of the datasheet, enabling precise dead-time calculation in synchronous rectifier designs.
Can IRF7456PBF be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
No - while the device is rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 250 mJ), its repetitive avalanche energy (EAR) is only 0.25 mJ. Repeated avalanche operation exceeds safe operating limits and risks cumulative junction damage; it must be avoided in normal operation and protected against via circuit design.
Is the SO-8 package thermally enhanced?
Yes - the SO-8 package uses an exposed drain paddle that serves as the primary thermal path. When soldered to a large copper area on the PCB, it achieves RθJA = 50 °C/W. The datasheet confirms this value applies to standard 1-inch² copper board mounting, and thermal performance improves further with multi-layer thermal vias under the drain pad.
