Product details
Overview
IRF7492 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 200 V, 3.7 A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters. It features 79 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 39 nC total gate charge, and fully characterized Coss,eff = 150 pF to simplify snubberless flyback and resonant converter design.
For engineers reviewing the IRF7492 datasheet, IRF7492 pinout, IRF7492 application, or IRF7492 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Qgd/Qg ratio (15/39 nC), avalanche-rated 130 mJ single-pulse energy, SO-8 thermal performance (RθJA = 50 °C/W), and body diode trr = 69 ns for synchronous rectification support.
Technical Context
The IRF7492 employs planar vertical DMOS structure with optimized charge distribution to minimize switching losses in hard-switched topologies. Its low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd = 15 nC) and tightly controlled Coss profile (190 pF at VDS = 25 V, 89 pF at 160 V) enable predictable zero-voltage switching transitions in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge converters.
It integrates a robust intrinsic body diode with VSD = 1.3 V at IS = 2.2 A and trr = 69 ns, supporting bidirectional current flow in half-bridge configurations. Avalanche capability (IAR = 4.4 A, EAS = 130 mJ) allows unclamped inductive switching without external protection in compact power supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 200 V - supports 48 V input DC-DC systems with 2× safety margin against transients |
| RDS(on) max | 79 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - enables ≤1.2 W conduction loss at 3.7 A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 39 nC - determines gate driver current requirement (e.g., 3.9 mA avg. for 100 kHz switching) |
| Coss,eff | 150 pF - defines turn-off energy loss and resonant tank behavior in ZVS designs |
| trr | 69 ns - limits reverse recovery loss during high-side switch commutation |
| EAS | 130 mJ - permits safe operation under 4.4 A inductive fault conditions without derating |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - sets maximum ambient temperature limit to ~75 °C at 2.5 W dissipation on standard PCB |
Pinout & Package
IRF7492 uses JEDEC MS-012AA-compliant SO-8 surface-mount package (4.0 × 5.0 mm footprint, 1.75 mm height). Thermal pad is not exposed; junction-to-drain lead resistance is 20 °C/W for heatsink-down mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | Drain (D) | Five paralleled internal drain connections - provides low-inductance, high-current path to PCB copper pour |
| 6 | Gate (G) | Single gate input - requires <10 Ω series resistance to damp ringing due to 1820 pF Ciss |
| 7, 8 | Source (S) | Dual source terminals - reduces source inductance for stable gate drive referencing and accurate current sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 38% - reduces Miller-induced shoot-through risk and improves gate drive efficiency |
| Fully characterized Coss,eff | 150 pF over 0–160 V - eliminates iterative snubber tuning in flyback and forward converters |
| Avalanche-rated operation | 130 mJ single-pulse - removes need for external clamping in 48 V telecom power modules |
| Body diode trr | 69 ns - enables use as synchronous rectifier in secondary-side regulation without external Schottky |
| SO-8 thermal resistance | RθJA = 50 °C/W - supports >1.5 W continuous output in space-constrained industrial SMPS |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP12NF20 | 200 V, 12 A, TO-220 package, RDS(on) = 180 mΩ - higher conduction loss, larger footprint | Requires heatsink; unsuitable for high-density SO-8 layouts | Choose only when >10 A continuous current is required and board space allows through-hole mounting |
| SiHP12N20C | 200 V, 12 A, SO-8, RDS(on) = 120 mΩ, Qg = 24 nC - lower gate charge but higher on-resistance | Better switching efficiency at light loads; worse thermal performance at full load | Prefer for <1 A average current applications where gate drive power dominates losses |
Compared with STP12NF20 and SiHP12N20C, the IRF7492 delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and SO-8 thermal capability-making it uniquely suited for compact 3–5 A DC-DC converters where board area and efficiency are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C ambient temperature?
The IRF7492 supports 2.2 A continuous drain current at TA = 100°C, derived from its 3.0 A rating at 70°C and linear derating factor of 0.02 W/°C applied to its 2.5 W PD limit. This assumes standard 1-inch² copper pad on FR-4 PCB without forced airflow.
Does the IRF7492 require a gate resistor for reliable operation?
Yes-a 5–10 Ω gate resistor is recommended to suppress oscillation caused by its 1820 pF input capacitance interacting with PCB trace inductance. Without damping, ringing can exceed ±20 V gate voltage limits and cause false turn-on during high dv/dt events.
Can the IRF7492 be used in synchronous rectification mode?
Yes-the device's body diode has trr = 69 ns and VSD = 1.3 V at 2.2 A, enabling direct replacement of Schottky diodes in secondary-side synchronous rectifiers. Gate must be driven with precise timing relative to primary switch to avoid cross-conduction.
Is the SO-8 package thermally enhanced with an exposed pad?
No-the IRF7492 SO-8 package has no exposed thermal pad. Its RθJA = 50 °C/W is measured on standard JEDEC test board (1 inch² copper). For improved thermal performance, use multiple vias under drain pads to inner-layer ground planes or consider SO-8 variants with thermal pad (e.g., IRF7494).
