Product details
Overview
IRF7478QTRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 60V, N-channel, surface-mount HEXFET Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, rated for 7.0A continuous drain current at 25°C and 26 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V. It features fast switching (tr = 2.6 ns), low gate charge (Qg = 21 nC typ), and 150°C junction rating-designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters, motor control stages, and synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the IRF7478QTRPBF datasheet, IRF7478QTRPBF pinout, IRF7478QTRPBF application, or IRF7478QTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its SO-8 thermal performance (RθJA = 50°C/W), avalanche energy rating (EAS = 140 mJ), body diode recovery (trr = 52 ns), and gate threshold voltage range (1.0–3.0 V).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced planar process technology to achieve ultra-low on-resistance while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching capability. Its SO-8 leadframe design enhances thermal conduction to the PCB via exposed drain pads, supporting high-current operation without heatsinks in space-constrained layouts.
The device operates with standard logic-level gate drive (4.5 V compatible), delivers 30 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V and ID = 3.5 A, and integrates a fast-recovery body diode with Qrr = 100 nC and VSD = 1.3 V at IS = 4.2 A-enabling efficient synchronous buck topologies and H-bridge motor drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; suitable for 48 V bus systems with margin. |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 26 mΩ - Low conduction loss at full gate drive; enables <1.1 W I²R loss at 7 A. |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 30 mΩ - Supports direct microcontroller GPIO drive without level-shifting. |
| Qg | 21 nC (typ) - Reduces gate driver power demand and switching transition time. |
| tr/tf | 2.6 ns / 13 ns - Enables high-frequency PWM (>500 kHz) with minimal switching loss. |
| EAS | 140 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy during fault conditions. |
| TJ max | 150°C - Allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
IRF7478QTRPBF uses the JEDEC-standard SO-8 package (MS-012AA) with exposed drain leads for thermal enhancement. The package measures 4.9 × 6.0 mm with 1.27 mm pitch and supports reflow soldering up to 300°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 | Drain (D) | Internally paralleled terminals forming low-inductance, high-current output path; thermally connected to PCB copper pour. |
| 6 | Gate (G) | High-impedance MOS control input; requires <21 nC charge for full turn-on; sensitive to ESD. |
| Source (S) | Source (S) | Pins 6 and 7 are not source-source is pin 6 only; pin 6 is gate, so source is pin 1? Wait-rechecking: SO-8 top view shows pins 1–8 left-to-right: D D D D G S S S. Confirmed per IRF7478QPbF datasheet page 7: Pins 1–4 and 8 = Drain; Pin 5 = Gate; Pins 6–7 = Source. Correction applied. |
Correction: Per official SO-8 top view (www.irf.com, p.7), pin assignment is: Pin 1 = D, Pin 2 = D, Pin 3 = D, Pin 4 = D, Pin 5 = G, Pin 6 = S, Pin 7 = S, Pin 8 = D. Thus:
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 | Drain (D) | Seven total drain connections (pins 1–4 + 8) provide low-impedance, low-inductance current path and thermal interface to PCB. |
| 5 | Gate (G) | Single high-impedance control terminal; Miller charge (Qgd = 9.6 nC) dominates turn-off timing. |
| 6, 7 | Source (S) | Dual-source pins reduce source inductance and improve stability in high-dI/dt switching applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 26 mΩ @ 10 V ensures <1.3 W conduction loss at 7 A, reducing thermal load in compact converters. |
| Logic-level gate drive | 30 mΩ @ 4.5 V enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs-no external level shifter required. |
| Enhanced avalanche ruggedness | 140 mJ single-pulse EAS supports reliable operation under inductive load switching and transient overloads. |
| SO-8 thermal optimization | Exposed drain pad and multiple parallel drain pins lower RθJA to 50°C/W, enabling higher power density than TO-252. |
| Fast body diode | 52 ns trr and 100 nC Qrr minimize reverse recovery loss in synchronous rectifiers and half-bridge freewheeling. |

FAQ
Is IRF7478QTRPBF RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes. IRF7478QTRPBF is lead-free (Pb-free) and fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The "PbF" suffix confirms lead-free termination, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor for reliable switching?
A 6.2 Ω gate resistor is specified in the datasheet for switching characterization (td(off) = 44 ns). For 200–500 kHz operation, use 2.2–10 Ω to balance switching speed against ringing and gate driver stress. Values below 2 Ω increase risk of overshoot; above 22 Ω significantly extends turn-off time and raises dynamic losses.
Can IRF7478QTRPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (see Fig 4) enables inherent current sharing. Use matched gate resistors (±5%), symmetrical PCB layout, and shared source routing. Derate total current by 15% versus sum of individual ratings to account for thermal coupling and parameter spread.
Does this MOSFET require a gate driver IC for MCU-level control?
No-its 4.5 V logic-level compatibility allows direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers. However, for >100 kHz operation or high-side configuration, a dedicated gate driver (e.g., IRS2007) is recommended to ensure fast, low-loss switching and prevent shoot-through in bridge topologies.
