Product details
Overview
IRF7468PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 40 V, 9.4 A N-channel enhancement-mode 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 15.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 17.0 mΩ at 4.5 V, and ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 23–34 nC), enabling efficient switching above 500 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the IRF7468PBF datasheet, IRF7468PBF pinout, IRF7468PBF application, or IRF7468PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive, fully characterized avalanche capability (EAS = 160 mJ), body diode reverse recovery performance (Qrr = 76–110 nC), and SO-8 thermal resistance (RθJA = 50 °C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar HEXFET® technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted channel design to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining robust safe operating area (SOA) and unclamped inductive switching (UIS) performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 0.8–2.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drivers.
The device integrates a fast, low-Qrr body diode with trr = 45–87 ns and VSD = 0.81–1.3 V, supporting high-efficiency synchronous rectification without external Schottky diodes. Dynamic parameters-including Ciss = 2460 pF, Coss = 490 pF, and Crss = 38 pF-are fully characterized at VDS = 20 V and f = 1 MHz for accurate hard-switching loss modeling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Supports input rails up to 32 V DC with 20 % margin for transient spikes in telecom 48 V systems. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 15.5 mΩ max - Enables ≤ 1.4 W conduction loss at 9.4 A continuous drain current in 25 °C ambient. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 17.0 mΩ max - Ensures full enhancement with 5 V microcontroller GPIO or PWM controller outputs. |
| Qg | 23–34 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables < 20 ns turn-on delay (td(on) = 7.6 ns) at RG = 1.8 Ω. |
| EAS | 160 mJ - Withstands single-pulse avalanche stress during hard-switching fault conditions without failure. |
| Qrr | 76–160 nC - Low reverse recovery charge minimizes shoot-through risk and switching loss in synchronous buck topologies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7852DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 12.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 29 nC; SO-8; VDS = 40 V | Lower RDS(on) but higher Ciss (2900 pF) increases gate drive loss at > 1 MHz | Prefer when conduction loss dominates and gate drive strength permits higher Qg. |
| DMN3026LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 18.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 17 nC; SO-8; VDS = 30 V | Lower voltage rating limits use to ≤ 24 V systems; lower Qg improves high-frequency efficiency | Prefer for cost-sensitive 24 V industrial buck converters where 30 V margin suffices. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRF7468PBF at 70°C ambient?
The maximum continuous drain current is 7.5 A at TA = 70°C with VGS = 10 V, based on thermal limits of the SO-8 package and 1.6 W maximum power dissipation. This value assumes no additional heatsinking and standard 1-in² copper pour on FR-4 PCB.
Does IRF7468PBF have avalanche capability, and how is it rated?
Yes, IRF7468PBF is fully characterized for unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 160 mJ (single-pulse) and IAR = 8.0 A. Testing follows JEDEC JESD24-11 using L = 5.0 mH, RG = 25 Ω, and starting TJ = 25°C, confirming ruggedness in hard-switching fault conditions.
Can IRF7468PBF be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No-its gate threshold voltage range is 0.8–2.0 V, but full enhancement requires ≥ 4.5 V to achieve specified RDS(on). At 3.3 V, RDS(on) rises significantly (> 35 mΩ), increasing conduction loss. A 5 V gate driver or level shifter is required for optimal performance.
What is the body diode forward voltage and reverse recovery behavior?
VSD is 0.81 V at TJ = 25°C and 8.0 A, rising to 0.65 V at 125°C. Reverse recovery time (trr) is 45–87 ns and Qrr is 76–160 nC depending on temperature and di/dt, enabling clean commutation in synchronous rectifier applications without external diode supplementation.
