Product details
Overview
IRFHM4231TRPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 25 V, 40 A (TC = 25°C), PQFN 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET optimized for high-efficiency synchronous buck converter topologies in server VRMs and POL converters. It features RDS(on) = 2.7 mΩ (typ) at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 9.7 nC (typ), and RθJC(Bottom) = 4.3 °C/W - enabling low conduction loss, fast switching, and direct PCB thermal coupling.
For engineers reviewing the IRFHM4231TRPBF datasheet, IRFHM4231TRPBF pinout, IRFHM4231TRPBF application, or IRFHM4231TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7 mΩ on-resistance at 10 V gate drive, industry-standard PQFN pinout compatibility, MSL1 industrial qualification, and body diode recovery performance (trr = 16–24 ns) in high-frequency DC-DC stages.
Technical Context
This FastIRFET™ device uses trench-gate HEXFET® technology with source-bonding to achieve ultra-low RDS(on) and minimized package inductance. Its 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm PQFN footprint integrates exposed drain pad for bottom-side thermal transfer and supports ≤0.9 mm profile designs.
The MOSFET exhibits VGS(th) = 1.1–2.1 V, gfs = 120 S (typ), and Ciss = 1270 pF (VGS = 0 V), making it suitable for 4.5 V–10 V gate drive systems where low Qg/Qgd ratio (9.7 nC / 3.6 nC) ensures clean turn-on/turn-off with minimal Miller-induced oscillation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 25 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input bus and 5 V/3.3 V output rails in point-of-load converters. |
| RDS(on) (VGS = 10 V) | 2.7 mΩ (typ), 3.4 mΩ (max) - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 30 A continuous current in compact VRM phases. |
| Qg | 9.7 nC (typ) - Supports efficient 500 kHz–1 MHz switching with reduced gate driver power demand and lower EMI. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 40 A - Rated continuous drain current under PCB-mounted thermal conditions using bottom-side copper pour. |
| RθJC(Bottom) | 4.3 °C/W - Allows direct junction-to-PCB thermal path, critical for maintaining TJ < 125°C in high-power density modules. |
| trr / Qrr | 16–24 ns / 13–20 nC - Fast body diode recovery minimizes shoot-through risk and reverse recovery loss in synchronous rectification. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PQFN 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm, 8-pin, exposed drain pad (pin 1 = gate, pins 2–4 = source, pins 5–7 = source, pin 8 = drain). Compliant with JEDEC MO-220, MSL1, and RoHS/halogen-free requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 3.3 V–10 V logic-level drive; low input capacitance enables fast edge rates. |
| Pins 2–4, 5–7 | Source | Common source connection; multiple parallel terminals reduce source inductance and improve current sharing in high-di/dt operation. |
| Pin 8 + Exposed Pad | Drain | Main power output node; exposed copper pad provides primary thermal path to PCB ground plane and structural mechanical anchoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toshiba TK85S06N1L | RDS(on) = 3.6 mΩ (max) at VGS = 10 V; Qg = 11.5 nC; PQFN 3.3×3.3 mm, same pinout. | Slightly higher conduction loss; requires marginally larger gate driver capability. | Preferred when sourcing diversity is required and 0.9 mΩ RDS(on) margin is acceptable for thermal budget. |
| Texas Instruments CSD18540Q5B | RDS(on) = 2.9 mΩ (max); Qg = 10.2 nC; identical package and pinout; enhanced avalanche rating (EAS = 55 mJ). | Better single-pulse avalanche immunity; otherwise functionally interchangeable in buck topologies. | Select when system-level unclamped inductive switching stress exceeds 42 mJ or requires extended safe operating area margin. |
Compared with TK85S06N1L and CSD18540Q5B, IRFHM4231TRPBF delivers the lowest typical RDS(on) (2.7 mΩ) and gate charge (9.7 nC), offering superior conduction efficiency and switching speed in thermally constrained, high-current POL applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current rating for IRFHM4231TRPBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current at TC = 100°C is 46 A (VGS = 10 V), as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value accounts for thermal derating based on RθJC = 4.3 °C/W and junction temperature limit of 150°C, ensuring safe operation under sustained high-temperature PCB mounting conditions.
Does IRFHM4231TRPBF support 3.3 V gate drive in logic-level applications?
Yes - VGS(th) is 1.1–2.1 V, and RDS(on) is specified at 4.5 V (max 4.6 mΩ). At 3.3 V gate drive, typical RDS(on) rises to ~6.2 mΩ (extrapolated from Fig 12), supporting moderate-current logic-level use but not full 40 A conduction; design margining is recommended for such operation.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky alternatives in synchronous rectification?
The integrated body diode has VSD = 1.0 V (at IS = 30 A, TJ = 25°C) and trr = 16–24 ns, outperforming most discrete 45 V Schottkys in recovery speed but with higher forward drop. It eliminates external component count and layout complexity, making it optimal for compact synchronous buck designs where layout parasitics dominate efficiency trade-offs.
Is the PQFN 3.3 mm × 3.3 mm package compatible with standard stencil thickness and reflow profiles?
Yes - the package is MSL1 rated and qualified for standard lead-free reflow (peak 260°C, 20 sec max). Recommended stencil aperture is 0.12 mm thick with 1:1 area ratio for the exposed drain pad; IPC-7525-compliant foil design ensures uniform solder paste release and void-free thermal pad wetting per AN-1136 guidelines.
