Product details
Overview
IRFR3710ZTR from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode automotive-grade HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 100 V VDSS, 18 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 42 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It features 175°C maximum junction temperature, fast switching (td(on) = 14 ns, tf = 42 ns), and rated repetitive avalanche energy up to 56 mJ - deployed in engine control units, DC-DC converters, and motor drive stages.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR3710ZTR datasheet, IRFR3710ZTR pinout, IRFR3710ZTR application, or IRFR3710ZTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) per silicon area, thermally robust 175°C operation, unclamped inductive switching capability, and automotive qualification per AEC-Q101 - critical for high-reliability power stage design.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced planar silicon processing to minimize conduction loss while maintaining ruggedness under transient overloads. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 69–100 nC, Qgd = 25 nC) supports efficient high-frequency PWM control in synchronous buck and half-bridge topologies.
The integrated body diode exhibits VSD = 1.3 V at IS = 33 A and fast reverse recovery (trr = 35–53 ns, Qrr = 41–62 nC), enabling reliable freewheeling in inductive loads without external Schottky supplementation in many 12 V/24 V automotive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100 V - Withstands up to 100 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche onset, suitable for 24 V nominal automotive bus with load dump margin. |
| RDS(on) | 15–18 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 42 A, reducing heatsink requirements in space-constrained ECUs. |
| ID (continuous) | 42 A @ TC = 25°C - Sustains high-current motor gate drive or solenoid actuation without derating at moderate case temperatures. |
| TJ(max) | 175°C - Allows operation in under-hood environments exceeding 125°C ambient, with thermal headroom for transient overload. |
| EAS | 56 mJ (tested) - Supports unclamped inductive switching of ≥33 A loads without failure, eliminating need for external snubbers in relay drivers. |
| Qg | 69–100 nC - Determines gate driver current demand; enables 100 kHz+ switching with ≤2 A peak gate drive in typical PCB layouts. |
| tr/tf | 43 ns / 42 ns - Minimizes switching transition losses and EMI generation during hard-switched operation in DC-DC stages. |
Pinout & Package
IRFR3710ZTR is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement. The three terminals are arranged in standard D-Pak orientation: Pin 1 = Gate (G), Pin 2 = Drain (D), Pin 3 = Source (S).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate terminal | Controls channel conduction; requires 2.0–4.0 V threshold and ≤200 nA leakage; sensitive to ESD - must be protected with series resistor and TVS. |
| Pin 2 (D) | Drain terminal | High-side switching node; electrically connected to exposed copper pad - must be soldered to large PCB copper pour for thermal dissipation and low-inductance path. |
| Pin 3 (S) | Source terminal | Reference node for gate drive; carries full load current and body diode reverse recovery charge; layout must minimize LS to reduce voltage spikes during turn-off. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 qualified - validated for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock in engine bay deployments. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Rated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to TJmax - eliminates need for external clamping in solenoid and relay driver circuits. |
| Low gate charge | Qg = 69–100 nC with Qgd/Qg ≈ 25% - improves Miller immunity and reduces gate driver power loss in high-frequency inverters. |
| Enhanced body diode | VSD = 1.3 V, trr = 35–53 ns - enables efficient freewheeling in H-bridge motor drives without external diode parallel. |
| Thermal performance | RθJC = 1.05 °C/W - allows >40 W power dissipation with modest heatsinking, supporting compact 42 A power stages. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Fuel Injector Driver | Automotive DC-DC Converter Primary Switch |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-speed switching of 12 V fuel injectors with peak currents up to 40 A and pulse widths down to 1 ms. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side power switch controlling injector coil energization; operates in hard-switched mode with 10–20 kHz PWM. Use Value: 18 mΩ RDS(on) limits conduction loss to <30 W during injection pulses, while 175°C rating ensures reliability across under-hood temperature swings. | Use Scenario: Primary-side switch in 12 V to 5 V/3.3 V synchronous buck converter powering ADAS sensors and microcontrollers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency N-channel switch operating at 300–500 kHz with gate drive referenced to source. Use Value: Low Qg and fast tf reduce switching loss below 0.5 W at 500 kHz, enabling >92% efficiency without forced air cooling. |
| Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Phase Leg | Automotive HVAC Blower Motor Inverter |
Use Scenario: Half-bridge leg driving 24 V brushed or BLDC assist motor with peak phase current ≥35 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side switch in three-phase inverter; commutated with dead-time controlled gate signals. Use Value: Repetitive avalanche rating handles back-EMF transients during sudden motor deceleration, preventing destructive breakdown without snubber networks. | Use Scenario: PWM-controlled 24 V blower motor delivering variable airflow in cabin climate systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current low-side switch modulated at 2–20 kHz to regulate motor speed and torque. Use Value: 42 A continuous rating supports 300 W motor loads; low RDS(on) minimizes audible PWM whine by reducing current ripple-induced vibration. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL120N10F7 | RDS(on) = 9.5 mΩ @ 10 V, but rated only to 100 V and 120 A; no AEC-Q101 certification; RθJC = 1.25 °C/W. | Higher current capacity but lacks automotive qualification and has higher thermal resistance - unsuitable for safety-critical ECU use. | Select only for non-automotive industrial 100 V switching where qualification is not required. |
| ON Semiconductor NTMFS4C09NT1G | RDS(on) = 10.5 mΩ @ 10 V, AEC-Q101 qualified, DFN5x6 package; RθJC = 0.9 °C/W; no specified repetitive avalanche rating. | Lower RDS(on) and better thermal resistance, but lacks documented avalanche capability - requires external protection in inductive switching. | Prefer for high-efficiency, thermally constrained designs where inductive energy is clamped externally. |
Compared with STL120N10F7 and NTMFS4C09NT1G, IRFR3710ZTR uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, verified repetitive avalanche, and proven D-Pak manufacturability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability automotive power stages where qualification and ruggedness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is IRFR3710ZTR pin-compatible with IRFR3708 or IRFR3711?
No. IRFR3710ZTR uses D-Pak (TO-252) with G-D-S pinout. IRFR3708 is also D-Pak but has RDS(on) = 27 mΩ and lower ID; IRFR3711 is I-Pak (TO-251) with different footprint and thermal pad layout. Mechanical and thermal interfaces are not interchangeable without PCB redesign.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistor value for 100 kHz switching?
For 100 kHz PWM with 100 nC total gate charge, a 10 Ω gate resistor limits peak gate current to ~1.5 A and yields ~100 ns effective rise/fall time. Values above 22 Ω increase switching loss significantly; values below 4.7 Ω risk excessive gate driver stress without improving efficiency.
Does IRFR3710ZTR require a gate driver IC, or can it be driven directly from a microcontroller?
A 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO cannot reliably drive IRFR3710ZTR due to its 4.0 V max VGS(th) and 100 nC Qg. Direct drive causes slow turn-on, high conduction loss, and thermal runaway. A dedicated gate driver (e.g., TC4427, MIC4424) with ≥2 A peak output is required for stable operation.
How is the 56 mJ avalanche energy rating validated in production?
Each IRFR3710ZTR wafer lot undergoes 100% unclamped inductive test per JEDEC JESD22-A110, applying 33 A inductive current into 100 V VDS with tp = 10 µs. Devices passing this stress without parameter shift or parametric failure receive the rated EAS = 56 mJ designation on datasheet and label.
