Product details
Overview
IRF7821PBF from Infineon Technologies is a 30V, 13A N-channel HEXFET Power MOSFET in SO-8 package, optimized as synchronous rectifier FET in high-frequency buck converters. It delivers 7.0 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 9.3 nC total gate charge, and fully characterized avalanche capability (44 mJ EAS). Used in point-of-load DC/DC stages for server VRMs and telecom power modules.
For engineers reviewing the IRF7821PBF datasheet, IRF7821PBF pinout, IRF7821PBF application, or IRF7821PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low RDS(on) at 4.5 V (9.1 mΩ max), Qgd/Qgs1 ratio impact on Cdv/dt immunity, body diode reverse recovery (Qrr = 23–35 nC), and SO-8 thermal resistance (RθJA = 50 °C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon HEXFET architecture with integrated body diode, designed specifically for synchronous rectification where low conduction loss and fast switching are critical. Its gate threshold voltage (1.0–2.6 V) and negative temperature coefficient of VGS(th) (−4.9 mV/°C) support stable current sharing in parallel configurations.
It operates in hard-switched clamped-inductive topologies with validated unclamped avalanche performance up to 44 mJ at TJ = 25°C. The 110 pF Crss and 2.9 nC Qgd directly influence Miller-induced turn-on risk during high dV/dt node transitions in buck converter half-bridges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V and 24 V input bus systems. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 7.0 mΩ typ. - Enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 13 A RMS in 12 V output VRMs. |
| Qg | 9.3 nC typ. - Determines gate drive power and switching speed in 300–1000 kHz converters. |
| Qrr | 23–35 nC - Quantifies body diode recovery loss transferred to control FET during dead-time. |
| EAS | 44 mJ - Specifies single-pulse avalanche energy handling without failure under inductive fault. |
| RθJA | 50 °C/W - Limits junction temperature rise to ≤75°C at 1.6 W dissipation in standard SO-8 PCB layout. |
Pinout & Package
IRF7821PBF is housed in a surface-mount SO-8 package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1–3 and 5–7 are drain terminals; Pin 4 is gate; Pins 6 and 8 are source. This configuration supports high-current drain routing and low-inductance source return paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 | Drain (D) | High-current power path; all connected internally to common drain metallization and exposed pad. |
| 4 | Gate (G) | Control terminal; requires <10 V drive for full enhancement; sensitive to Cdv/dt coupling. |
| 6, 8 | Source (S) | Power return and reference node for gate drive; dual pins reduce source inductance in high-di/dt operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 9.1 mΩ max - Ensures efficient operation with 5 V gate drivers in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Fully characterized avalanche | 44 mJ EAS - Eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load transients. |
| Optimized Qgd/Qgs1 ratio | 2.9 nC / 2.5 nC = 1.16 - Reduces susceptibility to spurious turn-on during high dV/dt node switching. |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | Pb-free plating per JEDEC J-STD-020 - Meets industrial and networking equipment environmental requirements. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si7852DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 6.5 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 11.5 nC; SO-8 with enhanced thermal pad | Higher gate charge increases drive loss at >600 kHz; better thermal RθJA (42 °C/W) | Prefer when board-level thermal management is constrained but switching frequency ≤500 kHz. |
| IPB80N04S4-02 | RDS(on) = 2.0 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-263 package; 80 A rating | Larger footprint and higher cost; over-specified for ≤15 A point-of-load use cases | Select only when system-level current derating or long-term reliability margin exceeds 3× design peak current. |
Compared with Si7852DP-T1-GE3 and IPB80N04S4-02, IRF7821PBF offers optimal balance of low gate charge (9.3 nC), moderate RDS(on) (7.0 mΩ), and SO-8 manufacturability-making it ideal for space-constrained, high-frequency synchronous buck stages where drive loss and layout simplicity are prioritized over ultra-low conduction loss.

FAQ
Is IRF7821PBF suitable for 4.5 V gate drive in synchronous buck applications?
Yes. Its RDS(on) is specified at 9.1 mΩ max with VGS = 4.5 V, enabling full enhancement using standard 5 V logic-level gate drivers. The 1.0–2.6 V VGS(th) range ensures reliable turn-on even with driver voltage tolerance and PCB trace drop.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 70°C ambient?
At TA = 70°C, the continuous drain current is 11 A with proper PCB copper area (≥1 in² 2 oz Cu). This is derived from the 1.6 W power dissipation limit and 50 °C/W RθJA, assuming no forced airflow and standard SO-8 thermal land pattern.
Does IRF7821PBF have avalanche ruggedness rated for repetitive stress?
No. The datasheet specifies only single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 44 mJ). Repetitive avalanche is not characterized or guaranteed. System design must avoid repeated inductive switching faults through proper gate timing and protection circuitry.
How does its body diode reverse recovery compare to Schottky alternatives?
The body diode exhibits Qrr = 23–35 nC and trr = 28–42 ns-significantly higher than Schottky diodes but acceptable in synchronous rectification where the diode conducts only during dead time. Unlike Schottky, it supports bidirectional current flow and withstands reverse bias up to 30 V.
