Product details
Overview
IRFR3708TRPBF 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 ultra-low gate charge (Qg = 24nC), fast switching (tf = 3.7ns), and robust avalanche capability (EAS = 213mJ).
For engineers reviewing the IRFR3708TRPBF datasheet, IRFR3708TRPBF pinout, IRFR3708TRPBF application, or IRFR3708TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low RDS(on) at 4.5V for 5V-gate drive systems, tight Qgd/Qg ratio for reduced Miller-induced turn-off delay, and validated SOA performance up to 175°C junction temperature in telecom and industrial SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device uses planar vertical DMOS structure with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted gate geometry to achieve simultaneous low conduction loss and fast switching. Its gate threshold voltage (0.6–2.0V) enables compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V logic-level drivers, while the 52pF Crss ensures minimal Miller feedback during hard-switching transitions.
The integrated body diode exhibits low VSD (0.88V typ. @ 31A, 25°C) and controlled reverse recovery (Qrr = 64–96nC), making it suitable for synchronous rectification where diode conduction and commutation losses dominate efficiency. Thermal design leverages low RθJC (1.73°C/W) for direct heatsink mounting via the exposed drain pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30V - Maximum blocking voltage for 24V-input telecom and industrial isolated DC-DC converters |
| RDS(on) @ 10V | 12.5mΩ max - Enables <1W conduction loss at 61A continuous drain current |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5V | 14.0mΩ max - Supports direct drive from 5V PWM controllers without level-shifting |
| Qg | 24nC - Reduces gate driver power requirement and switching transition time |
| EAS | 213mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive energy during fault conditions in buck or flyback topologies |
| RθJC | 1.73°C/W - Allows efficient thermal path to heatsink when mounted on PCB with exposed drain pad |
| tf | 3.7ns - Minimizes turn-off overlap loss in >500kHz switching applications |
Pinout & Package
IRFR3708TRPBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252) package with an exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The three terminals are arranged in standard D-Pak configuration: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S), with Drain electrically connected to the metal tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control input | Receives PWM signal; requires ≤12V absolute max rating and low-impedance drive due to 24nC total gate charge |
| D | Drain (high-side switch node) | Connected to exposed metal tab; must be routed to primary-side or secondary-side high-voltage rail per topology |
| S | Source (return path) | Common reference for gate drive and current sensing; tied to output ground or floating return in synchronous rectifier configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5V | 14.0mΩ max enables use with 5V microcontroller GPIO or dedicated 5V gate drivers without boost circuitry |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 5.8/24nC = 24% - Reduces Miller plateau duration and improves controllability during hard switching |
| Enhanced body diode performance | VSD = 0.88V @ 31A, Qrr = 64nC - Low forward drop and predictable recovery reduce synchronous rectifier losses |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | IRFR3708TRPBF suffix denotes Pb-free termination and halogen-free packaging per JEDEC J-STD-020 |

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, but in TO-220AB package with through-hole mounting and higher RθJA (62°C/W vs. 50°C/W) | Preferred for prototyping or low-volume industrial controls requiring manual soldering and heatsink clamping | Select when mechanical robustness and serviceability outweigh PCB space constraints and thermal performance needs. |
| STP30NF20 | 200V VDS, 30A ID, 40mΩ RDS(on) @ 10V - higher voltage rating but significantly higher on-resistance and slower switching | Suitable for 100–200V flyback or PFC stages where 30V rating is insufficient | Choose only if system requires >30V blocking capability; not recommended for 24–48V synchronous rectification due to 3× higher conduction loss. |
Compared with IRLR3708PbF and STP30NF20, IRFR3708TRPBF offers optimal trade-off of low RDS(on), fast switching, and compact D-Pak footprint for high-density, high-efficiency 30V-class SMPS - especially where board space, thermal resistance, and gate drive simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 70°C case temperature?
The IRFR3708TRPBF supports 51A continuous drain current at TA = 70°C with proper PCB copper area and thermal vias. This derating reflects the 0.58W/°C linear derating factor applied to its 87W maximum power dissipation at 25°C ambient, ensuring safe operation within SOA limits under realistic board-level thermal conditions.
Can this MOSFET be driven directly from a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO?
No - while the gate threshold voltage starts at 0.6V, the RDS(on) rises sharply below 4.5V (30mΩ at 2.8V). Driving from 3.3V results in excessive conduction loss and thermal runaway risk. A dedicated 5V or 10V gate driver is required to achieve specified 12.5–14.0mΩ performance and ensure reliable turn-on.
Is the body diode suitable for reverse recovery in synchronous rectification?
Yes - the body diode is fully characterized with trr = 41–65ns and Qrr = 64–105nC across temperature. Its soft recovery behavior and low VSD make it viable for synchronous rectification in isolated DC-DC converters, provided layout minimizes parasitic inductance to avoid voltage overshoot during diode commutation.
What is the recommended PCB footprint and thermal relief for this D-Pak device?
Per IR application note AN-994, use a minimum 1" square copper pad (FR-4) connected to internal ground planes via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, 0.8mm spacing). The exposed drain pad must be soldered directly to this pad; inadequate copper area increases RθJA beyond 50°C/W and risks thermal failure above 60W dissipation.
