Product details
Overview
IRF7488PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, rated for 80 V VDS, 24–29 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 38 nC total gate charge, and optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters requiring low switching loss and robust avalanche capability.
For engineers reviewing the IRF7488PBF datasheet, IRF7488PBF pinout, IRF7488PBF application, or IRF7488PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80 V breakdown voltage, 6.3 A continuous drain current at 25°C, low Coss (270 pF at VDS = 25 V), fully characterized avalanche energy (96 mJ), and SO-8 surface-mount thermal performance with RθJA = 50 °C/W.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar silicon process with optimized cell geometry to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining fast switching via minimized Qgd/Qgs ratio (12 nC / 9.1 nC). Its body diode exhibits 1.3 V forward drop at 3.8 A and 65 ns reverse recovery time, enabling synchronous rectification in buck topologies.
The device features fully characterized effective output capacitance (Coss,eff = 340 pF) across 0–64 V, supporting accurate snubberless design in hard-switched converters. Avalanche ratings are validated per JEDEC JESD24-11, with single-pulse EAS = 96 mJ at IAS = 3.8 A and TJ = 150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 80 V - supports 48 V input bus designs with 20% margin against transients |
| RDS(on) | 24–29 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 6.3 A continuous operation |
| Qg | 38 nC - allows efficient drive with standard gate drivers (e.g., IR2110) at ≤1 MHz switching |
| Coss,eff | 340 pF - reduces turn-off energy loss and simplifies zero-voltage switching (ZVS) design |
| EAS | 96 mJ - withstands unclamped inductive switching events without failure in 12 V/48 V systems |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - limits junction rise to ≤125°C at 1.6 W dissipation on standard 2-layer PCB |
Pinout & Package
IRF7488PBF uses the industry-standard SO-8 (JEDEC MS-012AA) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal conduction. Pin 1 is Gate, Pins 2–4 and 6–8 are Drain (internally paralleled), Pin 5 is Source.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; requires ≥10 V to fully enhance; max ±20 V rating prevents ESD damage during handling |
| 2–4, 6–8 (D) | Drain | High-side switch node; all pins internally connected to die drain metallization and exposed pad for thermal path |
| 5 (S) | Source | Power return and reference for gate drive; connects to power ground plane to minimize switching loop inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 31.6% (12 nC / 38 nC) - improves Miller immunity and enables stable operation with high dv/dt |
| Fully characterized Coss vs. VDS | 270 pF @ 25 V, 170 pF @ 64 V - enables precise resonant timing and soft-switching analysis |
| Body diode trr & Qrr | 65 ns / 190 nC - supports synchronous rectification in buck converters up to 500 kHz |
| Avalanche-rated structure | 96 mJ EAS @ 3.8 A - eliminates need for external clamping in flyback or boost inductor designs |
Applications
| High-Frequency DC-DC Converters | Synchronous Buck Regulators |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP80NF55-08 | TO-220 package, 55 V VDS, 8 mΩ RDS(on), higher Qg (120 nC) | Requires heatsink; unsuitable for high-density SMT layouts | Select when board space permits discrete heatsinking and lower RDS(on) outweighs switching loss penalty |
| SiR872DP | SO-8, 80 V VDS, 3.2 mΩ RDS(on), 52 nC Qg, trench MOSFET | Higher gate charge increases driver stress; superior conduction efficiency at <3 A | Select for ultra-low conduction loss in low-duty-cycle, high-current pulse applications |
Compared with STP80NF55-08 and SiR872DP, IRF7488PBF offers optimal balance of switching speed (38 nC), thermal resistance (50 °C/W), and ruggedness (96 mJ EAS) for compact, high-frequency converter designs where layout density and transient robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 70°C ambient?
The IRF7488PBF supports 5.0 A continuous drain current at TA = 70°C with VGS = 10 V, based on its 1.6 W maximum power dissipation rating and 50 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. This assumes adequate PCB copper area (≥1 in² 2 oz Cu) for heat spreading.
Does IRF7488PBF have a specified avalanche energy rating?
Yes - the device is rated for 96 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) at IAS = 3.8 A and starting junction temperature of 25°C, verified per JEDEC JESD24-11 test conditions using unclamped inductive switching circuits.
Can IRF7488PBF be used in synchronous rectification mode?
Yes - its body diode has a forward voltage of 1.3 V at 3.8 A and reverse recovery time of 65 ns, making it suitable for synchronous rectification in buck converters up to 500 kHz, provided gate drive timing avoids cross-conduction.
What is the gate threshold voltage range?
The gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is specified from 2.0 V to 4.0 V at ID = 250 µA and VDS = VGS. This ensures reliable turn-on with standard 5 V or 3.3 V logic-level gate drivers when used with appropriate gate resistors to limit peak current.
