Product details
Overview
IRF7468TR from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 40 V, 9.4 A N-channel enhancement-mode MOSFET in SO-8 package, optimized for synchronous rectification in high-frequency isolated DC-DC converters and buck regulators. It delivers RDS(on) = 15.5 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V and 17.0 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5 V, with ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 23 nC typ.) and fast switching (tr = 2.3 ns, tf = 3.8 ns).
For engineers reviewing the IRF7468TR datasheet, IRF7468TR pinout, IRF7468TR application, or IRF7468TR 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 channel geometry to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining robust switching behavior. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 0.8–2.0 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level drivers, and its Crss = 38 pF supports stable operation in high-dV/dt environments.
The device integrates a co-packaged body diode with characterized reverse recovery (trr = 45–87 ns, Qrr = 76–160 nC) and low forward voltage (VSD = 0.81 V @ 8.0 A, TJ = 25°C), enabling efficient synchronous rectification without external Schottky diodes in telecom and industrial power supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage for primary-side switch or secondary-side synchronous rectifier in ≤48 V input systems |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 15.5 mΩ max - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 9.4 A continuous drain current in thermally constrained layouts |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 17.0 mΩ max - Supports direct drive from 5 V microcontrollers or PWM controllers without level-shifting |
| Qg | 23 nC typ. - Reduces gate driver power loss and enables >1 MHz switching in high-efficiency SMPS designs |
| EAS | 160 mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive energy during hard-switching transients without failure |
| trr / Qrr | 45–87 ns / 76–160 nC - Limits diode recovery loss and EMI in synchronous rectifier topologies |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - Requires minimal copper area (1 in²) for thermal management in board-mounted applications |
Pinout & Package
IRF7468TR is housed in a standard SO-8 surface-mount package (JEDEC MS-012AA), with exposed drain pads on pins 1–4 and 6–8 for enhanced thermal conduction and current handling. The package supports reflow soldering and is lead-free (PbF) compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Parallel-connected high-current output node; electrically tied to thermal pad for junction-to-board heat transfer |
| 5 | Gate (G) | Control terminal requiring <23 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD (±12 V rating) |
| Source (S) | Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; pins 5 and 8 are source terminals in dual-source configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 17.0 mΩ max - Eliminates need for gate boosters in 5 V control architectures |
| Low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd) | 6.7 nC typ. - Minimizes Miller effect and improves dv/dt immunity in hard-switched converters |
| Fully characterized avalanche rating | EAS = 160 mJ, IAR = 8.0 A - Allows safe operation under inductive turn-off stress without snubbers |
| Optimized body diode | Qrr = 76 nC @ 25°C - Reduces switching loss and ringing in synchronous rectifier mode |

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 = 27 nC; SO-8 with enhanced thermal pad | Higher conduction efficiency but slower switching due to higher Qg | Prefer for <500 kHz applications where lowest RDS(on) dominates system loss budget |
| DMN3022LSD-13 | RDS(on) = 19.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 15 nC; dual-N in SO-8 | Lower gate charge enables faster switching but higher conduction loss at 7.5 A | Prefer for space-constrained dual-switch designs where gate drive simplicity outweighs RDS(on) penalty |
Compared with Si7852DP and DMN3022LSD, IRF7468TR offers the best balance of low 4.5 V RDS(on), moderate Qg, and proven avalanche ruggedness-making it optimal for telecom and industrial SMPS where reliability under transient stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 70°C ambient?
The IRF7468TR supports ID = 7.5 A continuous drain current at TA = 70°C with VGS = 10 V, derated from 9.4 A at 25°C. This value assumes SO-8 mounting on a 1 in² copper area and accounts for thermal resistance RθJA = 50 °C/W. Actual current capability depends on PCB layout, airflow, and heatsinking.
Does IRF7468TR have a specified avalanche energy rating?
Yes, the IRF7468TR is fully characterized for unclamped inductive switching with EAS = 160 mJ (single-pulse) and IAR = 8.0 A. These values are measured per JEDEC JESD24-1 using the test circuit in Figure 14a, with L = 5.0 mH, RG = 25 Ω, and starting TJ = 25°C.
Can IRF7468TR be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
No - while VGS(th) starts at 0.8 V, the device requires ≥4.5 V gate drive to achieve RDS(on) ≤17.0 mΩ. At 3.3 V, RDS(on) exceeds 35 mΩ (per Fig. 13), increasing conduction loss significantly. A dedicated gate driver or level shifter is required for reliable operation.
What is the body diode forward voltage at 8.0 A and 125°C?
The body diode forward voltage is VSD = 0.65 V typical at TJ = 125°C, IS = 8.0 A, and VGS = 0 V. This value is confirmed in the Diode Characteristics table on page 2 of the official datasheet and reflects reduced forward drop at elevated temperature due to positive tempco of silicon PN junctions.
