Product details
Overview
IRFR12N25DTRLP from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 250V, 14A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, featuring 0.26Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10V and optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters requiring low switching loss and robust avalanche capability.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR12N25DTRLP datasheet, IRFR12N25DTRLP pinout, IRFR12N25DTRLP application, or IRFR12N25DTRLP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 23 nC total gate charge, 12–19 nC Miller charge, 140 ns diode reverse recovery time, and 250 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy - all critical for SMPS hard-switching reliability and thermal management.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device uses planar vertical DMOS technology with fully characterized Coss (130 pF typ. at VDS = 25V) and Crss (22 pF), enabling accurate snubberless flyback and resonant converter design. Its gate threshold voltage (3.0–5.0 V) ensures stable turn-on under wide VGS margin conditions.
The integrated body diode exhibits 1.5 V forward voltage at 8.4 A and 140 ns trr with 710 nC Qrr, supporting synchronous rectification and freewheeling in buck and half-bridge topologies without external Schottky supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 250 V - Withstands up to 250 V drain-source blocking voltage before breakdown. |
| RDS(on) max | 0.26 Ω @ VGS = 10 V, ID = 8.4 A - Defines conduction loss in continuous operation at rated current. |
| ID cont @ TC = 25°C | 14 A - Maximum continuous drain current with case temperature held at 25°C and adequate heatsinking. |
| Qg typ | 23 nC - Total gate charge required to switch device; directly impacts driver power and switching speed. |
| EAS single-pulse | 250 mJ - Energy the MOSFET can absorb during unclamped inductive switching without failure. |
| trr / Qrr | 140 ns / 710 nC - Body diode reverse recovery behavior critical for minimizing shoot-through and EMI in bridge circuits. |
| RθJC | 1.04 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct heatsink thermal modeling for PCB-mount designs. |
Pinout & Package
IRFR12N25DTRLP is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal performance and mechanical stability on PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal of N-channel MOSFET | Common return path for load current; connects to ground or low-side reference in most topologies. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives gate drive signal; requires <±30 V absolute rating and low-impedance drive to manage 23 nC Qg. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | High-side output terminal | Connects to input rail or transformer primary; electrically tied to exposed copper pad for thermal conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd) | 12–19 nC - Reduces Miller-induced switching delay and improves hard-switching efficiency in high-dv/dt environments. |
| Fully characterized Coss & Crss | 130 pF / 22 pF @ VDS = 25 V - Enables precise soft-switching timing and snubberless ZVS/ZCS design. |
| Lead-free (Pb-free) construction | RoHS-compliant D-Pak with matte tin plating - Eliminates lead-based solder compatibility concerns in modern assembly lines. |
| Robust avalanche rating | 250 mJ single-pulse EAS - Supports reliable operation in unclamped inductive switching without external clamping circuits. |
Applications
| Server VRM Power Stage | Industrial DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP14NF25 | 250 V, 14 A, RDS(on) = 0.28 Ω, Qg = 27 nC, TO-220 package | Through-hole mounting; higher RθJA (62 °C/W) limits high-power density use | Preferred where manual rework or legacy through-hole assembly is required. |
| IXTP14N25P | 250 V, 14 A, RDS(on) = 0.27 Ω, Qg = 25 nC, TO-220AB package | Higher gate charge and larger footprint than D-Pak; no lead-free option indicated in datasheet | Suitable for industrial controls needing proven field reliability but less stringent thermal constraints. |
Compared with STP14NF25 and IXTP14N25P, IRFR12N25DTRLP offers superior thermal performance via D-Pak's 1.04 °C/W RθJC, lower Qgd, and RoHS compliance - making it optimal for compact, high-frequency, surface-mount SMPS designs demanding repeatable manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The IRFR12N25DTRLP has a specified maximum operating junction temperature of +175°C. This rating applies under steady-state thermal conditions with proper PCB copper area and heatsinking. Derating begins at TC > 25°C per the linear derating factor of 0.96 W/°C, and the device must remain within Safe Operating Area (SOA) limits shown in Figure 8 of the datasheet.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for reliable switching?
Yes - a gate resistor (typically 6.8 Ω, as used in characterization) is recommended to dampen ringing, limit peak gate current, and control dv/dt-induced Miller turn-on. Without it, the 23 nC Qg and low Ciss/Crss ratio may cause unintended oscillation or shoot-through in bridge configurations, especially at high switching frequencies (>200 kHz).
Can IRFR12N25DTRLP be used in avalanche mode repeatedly?
No - while rated for 250 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS), its repetitive avalanche energy (EAR) is only 14 mJ. Repeated unclamped inductive switching beyond this value risks cumulative junction damage. For repetitive stress, external clamping (RCD snubber or TVS) is mandatory.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification?
Yes - the intrinsic body diode has a forward voltage of 1.5 V at 8.4 A and 140 ns reverse recovery time, making it usable in low-frequency synchronous rectification (e.g., ≤100 kHz). However, for high-frequency or high-efficiency designs, an external Schottky or GaN FET is preferred due to lower VF and near-zero Qrr.
