Product details
Overview
IRFR3708 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 30V, 61A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification in isolated DC-DC converters. It delivers 12.5mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, 14.0mΩ at 4.5V, and features 24nC total gate charge, 213mJ single-pulse avalanche energy, and ultra-low gate-drain charge (5.8nC) - enabling efficient operation in telecom and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR3708 datasheet, IRFR3708 pinout, IRFR3708 application, or IRFR3708 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5V logic-level drive capability, 175°C maximum junction temperature, low Ciss/Coss ratio (2417pF/707pF), robust body diode with 41ns reverse recovery time, and suitability for high-density, thermally constrained buck and flyback topologies.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device uses planar stripe DMOS technology to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining fast switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (0.6–2.0V) and strong transconductance (49S typical) support stable turn-on under wide VGS margins, and its fully characterized avalanche rating enables reliable unclamped inductive switching.
The MOSFET's thermal design is defined by RθJC = 1.73°C/W and RθJA = 50°C/W (PCB mount), with linear derating of 0.58W/°C above 70°C ambient. Its body diode exhibits VSD = 0.88V at 31A and TJ = 25°C, supporting synchronous rectification without external Schottky replacement in many cases.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL110N3LLH6 | 30V, 110A, 3.3mΩ @ 10V, PowerFLAT 5x6 package, higher current rating but larger footprint | Better suited for parallel configurations or higher-current (>80A) designs where board space permits | Select when peak current exceeds 61A or thermal budget allows lower RDS(on) at cost of larger layout area |
| DMT3006LPS-13 | 30V, 60A, 5.2mΩ @ 4.5V, PowerDI 5060 package, superior 4.5V RDS(on) but lower avalanche rating (120mJ) | Preferred for 3.3V/5V logic-driven systems where avalanche stress is minimal | Choose for ultra-low gate drive voltage applications where EAS margin is not critical |
Compared with STL110N3LLH6 and DMT3006LPS-13, IRFR3708 offers balanced trade-offs: moderate RDS(on), proven avalanche ruggedness, D-Pak compatibility with legacy layouts, and broad availability - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, medium-power industrial and telecom designs where reliability under transient stress is essential.

FAQ
Is IRFR3708 suitable for 3.3V gate drive?
No - its gate threshold voltage range is 0.6–2.0V, but full enhancement requires ≥4.5V. At 3.3V, RDS(on) rises to ~30mΩ (max), increasing conduction loss significantly. Use only with 4.5V or higher gate drive for rated performance.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal performance?
Per AN-994, a 1"×1" FR-4 PCB copper pour (2 oz) under the drain tab achieves RθJA = 50°C/W. Larger areas yield diminishing returns; doubling to 2"×2" improves RθJA by only ~12%. Thermal vias to inner ground planes are strongly recommended.
Does IRFR3708 have built-in ESD protection?
No - it lacks integrated gate protection diodes. Gate-source voltage must be limited to ±12V, and handling requires standard MOSFET ESD precautions (grounded wrist strap, conductive foam). External Zener clamping is advised in high-noise environments.
Can IRFR3708 replace IRFR3707 in existing designs?
Yes - both are D-Pak 30V N-channel MOSFETs with identical pinout. IRFR3708 has 12.5mΩ RDS(on) vs. 14.0mΩ for IRFR3707, offering lower conduction loss. No layout or drive circuit changes are needed, and all absolute maximum ratings match.
