Product details
Overview
IRF7457TRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 20 V, 15 A, N-channel Trench MOSFET in SO-8 package, optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification in isolated DC-DC converters and buck regulators for telecom and industrial power supplies. It features 7.0 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 28–42 nC), and fully characterized avalanche capability (EAS = 265 mJ).
For engineers reviewing the IRF7457TRPBF datasheet, IRF7457TRPBF pinout, IRF7457TRPBF application, or IRF7457TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V (8.0–10.5 mΩ), body diode reverse recovery (trr = 50–75 ns), thermal resistance (RθJA = 50 °C/W), and SO-8 lead-free compliance for high-density board layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs Trench-based silicon process technology to achieve low conduction loss and fast switching with minimal Miller effect-evidenced by Crss = 270 pF and Qgd = 10–15 nC at VDS = 10 V. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.0–3.0 V) supports 4.5 V logic-level drive in compact point-of-load designs.
The device integrates a robust intrinsic body diode with VSD = 0.67–1.3 V (TJ = 25–125 °C, IS = 12 A), enabling efficient freewheeling in synchronous buck topologies without external Schottky diodes. Avalanche-rated operation allows reliable unclamped inductive switching up to IAS = 15 A.

Pinout & Package
IRF7457TRPBF is housed in a standard SO-8 (JEDEC MS-012AA) surface-mount package with exposed drain pads for enhanced thermal performance. The package measures 4.9 × 6.0 mm with 1.27 mm pitch and supports reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 | Drain (D) | Internally paralleled terminals forming low-inductance, high-current drain path; connected to exposed pad |
| 8 | Gate (G) | High-impedance control terminal requiring <42 nC charge for full enhancement |
| Source (S) | Source (S) | Common reference node for gate drive and load return; pins 1–7 are drain-only, not source-connected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 7.0 mΩ @ 10 V enables <0.2 W conduction loss at 12 A, reducing thermal footprint in dense SMPS |
| Low gate charge | Qg = 28–42 nC minimizes driver power and propagation delay in high-frequency (>500 kHz) topologies |
| Fully characterized avalanche | EAS = 265 mJ and IAS = 15 A allow safe operation under unclamped inductive switching stress |
| Optimized body diode | trr = 50–75 ns and Qrr = 70–110 nC reduce switching loss and voltage overshoot during freewheeling |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7157DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 6.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 31 nC; SO-8 package | Lower RDS(on) but higher Ciss (3500 pF vs. 3100 pF); same 20 V rating | Preferred where conduction loss dominates; verify gate drive strength due to higher input capacitance |
| DMN2011UW-7 | RDS(on) = 7.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 25 nC; SOT-23-6 package (not SO-8) | Smaller footprint but lower ID (10 A) and PD (1.25 W); unsuitable for 15 A continuous loads | Select only for space-constrained, lower-current (<10 A) applications where thermal budget permits |
Compared with Si7157DP-T1-GE3 and DMN2011UW-7, IRF7457TRPBF offers balanced trade-offs: mid-range RDS(on), lowest Qgd/Crss among the three, and SO-8 thermal mass suitable for sustained 12–15 A operation without derating.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 70°C ambient?
The IRF7457TRPBF supports 12 A continuous drain current at TA = 70°C with proper PCB copper area (≥1 in²) and no forced airflow. This rating assumes SO-8 mounting on FR-4 with 1 oz copper and is derived from its 1.6 W power dissipation limit and 50 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes-a gate resistor (typically 1.8 Ω, as used in official switching time tests) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate loop inductance and prevent unintended turn-on due to dv/dt coupling. The device's low gate impedance (Qg = 28–42 nC) makes it sensitive to fast edge rates without series resistance.
Can IRF7457TRPBF be used in linear mode (as a pass transistor)?
No-it is not characterized or rated for linear (ohmic) operation. Its Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve shows operation is limited to pulse widths ≤10 ms at VDS > 5 V, and continuous linear use risks thermal runaway due to positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient and lack of SOA derating data beyond 100 µs pulses.
Is the body diode suitable for reverse recovery in synchronous rectification?
Yes-the body diode is fully specified with trr = 50–75 ns and Qrr = 70–110 nC at TJ = 25–125 °C, enabling clean commutation in synchronous buck and forward converters up to ~1 MHz. Its soft recovery behavior reduces EMI compared to standard PN diodes.
