Product details
Overview
IRFR3708PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 30V, 61A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, featuring 12.5mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V and ultra-low gate charge (24nC), optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification in isolated DC-DC converters for telecom and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR3708PBF datasheet, IRFR3708PBF pinout, IRFR3708PBF application, or IRFR3708PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5V logic-level gate drive capability, 213mJ single-pulse avalanche energy rating, 1.73°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and body diode reverse recovery performance (trr = 41–65ns) under hard-switching conditions.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device uses planar stripe cell structure with optimized gate oxide thickness to achieve low RDS(on) while maintaining robust avalanche ruggedness. Its gate threshold voltage (0.6–2.0V) enables reliable turn-on with 3.3V/4.5V microcontroller outputs, and its Crss of 52pF minimizes Miller-induced switching oscillation in high-dV/dt environments.
The integrated body diode exhibits low forward voltage (0.88V typ. at 31A, 25°C) and controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 64–105nC), supporting efficient synchronous rectification without external Schottky replacement in 300kHz–1MHz isolated flyback and forward converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24V-input DC-DC stages with 20% margin |
| RDS(on) max @ 10V | 12.5mΩ - Enables ≤1.5W conduction loss at 61A continuous drain current |
| Qg | 24nC - Reduces gate driver power demand and switching transition time in high-frequency operation |
| EAS | 213mJ - Supports unclamped inductive switching stress without failure in synchronous rectifier FET position |
| trr | 41–65ns - Limits reverse recovery losses and EMI generation during hard commutation |
| RθJC | 1.73°C/W - Allows direct heatsinking via PCB copper pour or clip-mount for thermal management |

Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; thermally enhanced design requiring minimum 1"² FR-4 copper area per IPC-2221B guidelines.
| 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 node |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives PWM signal; requires <24nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | High-side current output terminal | Exposed metal pad - electrically and thermally connected to drain; must be routed to high-voltage node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Lead-free (PbF) construction | RoHS-compliant finish - meets IPC-J-STD-020D reflow profile for lead-free assembly |
| Fully characterized avalanche | Rated for 213mJ single-pulse energy - eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching |
| Low Crss | 52pF - Suppresses Miller-induced false turn-on during high dV/dt transitions in half-bridge topologies |
| Optimized body diode | trr = 41–65ns, Qrr = 64–105nC - Reduces switching loss and voltage overshoot in synchronous rectification |
Applications
| Telecom DC-DC Converters | Industrial SMPS |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 48V-to-12V isolated forward converter in base station power shelf. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier FET on secondary side, replacing Schottky diode to reduce conduction loss. Use Value: Achieves >95% efficiency at 20A load by cutting diode forward drop loss; RDS(on) of 12.5mΩ yields 5.0W loss vs. 12W typical for 40V Schottky. | Use Scenario: 24V input, 5V/30A output active clamp forward converter in PLC power module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in primary-side active clamp circuit with 500kHz switching frequency. Use Value: 24nC Qg enables fast turn-on/off with minimal gate driver dissipation; Crss of 52pF prevents shoot-through in high dV/dt clamp node. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in half-bridge leg, driven by isolated gate driver with 4.5V output. Use Value: VGS(th) range (0.6–2.0V) ensures clean turn-on with 4.5V logic; body diode trr < 65ns limits freewheeling loss during PWM dead-time. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR3708PBF | Same die in TO-220AB package; higher RθJA (62°C/W vs. 50°C/W), no exposed drain pad | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or lower-power designs where thermal budget allows larger footprint | Select when board space permits TO-220 mounting and heatsink integration is preferred over PCB copper thermal spreading |
| STP30NF20 | 200V VDS, 30A ID, 40mΩ RDS(on) - higher voltage rating but significantly higher on-resistance and gate charge | Applicable only in higher-bus-voltage systems (>60V); not suitable for 30V-class synchronous rectification | Choose only if system requires >100V blocking capability; avoid for 24–48V telecom/industrial SMPS due to 3× higher conduction loss |
Compared with IRLR3708PBF and STP30NF20, IRFR3708PBF delivers optimal balance of low RDS(on), low Qg, and D-Pak thermal performance for high-density, high-efficiency 30V synchronous rectifiers - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained telecom and industrial DC-DC modules.

FAQ
Is IRFR3708PBF suitable for 3.3V gate drive?
Yes. With a gate threshold voltage range of 0.6–2.0V and guaranteed RDS(on) of 14.0mΩ at VGS = 4.5V, IRFR3708PBF fully enhances using standard 3.3V logic outputs. However, for lowest RDS(on) and highest efficiency, 10V gate drive is recommended where system architecture permits.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 70°C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies 51A continuous drain current at TA = 70°C with proper PCB copper area. When mounted on a 1"² FR-4 board, thermal derating follows the linear factor of 0.58W/°C above 25°C ambient, limiting practical continuous current to approximately 45–48A depending on heatsinking.
Does IRFR3708PBF have avalanche capability, and how is it rated?
Yes. It is fully characterized for unclamped inductive switching with a rated single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) of 213mJ at TJ = 25°C. This rating is validated per JEDEC JESD24-11 and enables reliable operation in circuits with inductive loads without external snubbers.
Can IRFR3708PBF replace IRFR3707 in an existing design?
Yes, with verification. IRFR3707 has identical D-Pak package and pinout, but higher RDS(on) (14mΩ vs. 12.5mΩ) and slightly higher Qg (26nC vs. 24nC). The substitution improves conduction loss by ~12% and reduces gate drive power, provided layout and thermal margins accommodate the minor parameter shifts.
