Product details
Overview
IRFR3910 from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 100V, 16A N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in D-PAK (TO-252AA) surface-mount package, featuring 0.115Ω RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, fully avalanche-rated, and optimized for DC-DC converters, motor drives, and load switching in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRFR3910 datasheet, IRFR3910 pinout, IRFR3910 application, or IRFR3910 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100V VDS, 0.115Ω on-resistance, 44nC total gate charge, 130–190ns reverse recovery time, and D-PAK thermal performance with RθJC = 1.9°C/W - critical for high-efficiency, medium-power switching designs.
Technical Context
The IRFR3910 employs fifth-generation HEXFET® process technology to minimize conduction loss while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching capability. Its body diode exhibits 1.3V forward voltage at 9.0A and 130–190ns reverse recovery time under 100A/µs di/dt, enabling reliable synchronous rectification and flyback operation.
Designed for surface-mount assembly using vapor-phase or infrared reflow, the device supports linear derating of 0.53W/°C above 25°C case temperature and delivers 79W power dissipation at TC = 25°C. Gate threshold voltage ranges from 2.0V to 4.0V, ensuring compatibility with standard 5V and 10V logic-level drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 100V - supports 48V bus systems with 2× safety margin against transients |
| RDS(on) | 0.115Ω @ VGS = 10V - enables ≤1.0W conduction loss at 9.0A continuous drain current |
| ID (TC = 25°C) | 16A - suitable for 12–24V DC-DC output stages delivering up to 384W with forced air |
| Qg | 44nC - determines gate drive power requirement; compatible with low-side drivers like IR2104 |
| EAS | 150mJ - ensures robustness in unclamped inductive switching (e.g., relay/snubberless solenoid control) |
| RθJC | 1.9°C/W - allows junction temperature rise of only 19°C at 10W dissipation with proper heatsinking |
| trr | 130–190ns - limits switching loss during diode commutation in half-bridge topologies |
Pinout & Package
IRFR3910 is housed in a TO-252AA (D-PAK) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal conduction. The package features three leads: Gate (Lead 1), Drain (Leads 2 & 4), and Source (Lead 3), with standardized footprint per JEDEC outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives 2.0–20V gate drive; requires <44nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD |
| 2 & 4 (Drain) | Main current path input | Internally connected to exposed copper pad; primary thermal path to PCB; rated for 100V blocking |
| 3 (Source) | Current return / reference node | Common connection point for gate drive return and load return; defines local ground reference for driver IC |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 0.115Ω reduces I²R losses by >30% vs. legacy 100V MOSFETs in 12V/15A power rails |
| Fully avalanche-rated | 150mJ single-pulse energy rating eliminates need for external snubbers in inductive load switching |
| Fast body diode recovery | 130–190ns trr enables efficient synchronous rectification without excessive shoot-through risk |
| Surface-mount D-PAK | TO-252AA footprint supports automated assembly and achieves 79W power dissipation with minimal board area |
| Advanced process technology | Fifth-generation HEXFET® silicon delivers improved transconductance (6.4S) and lower gate charge density |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP16NF10 | 100V, 16A, RDS(on) = 0.12Ω, TO-220 package, no avalanche rating | Requires external avalanche protection; unsuitable for unclamped inductive loads | Select when through-hole mounting and cost priority outweigh ruggedness needs |
| IXTP16N10P | 100V, 16A, RDS(on) = 0.13Ω, TO-220FP package, 100mJ EAS | Lower avalanche energy than IRFR3910; higher RDS(on) increases conduction loss by ~13% | Prefer where vertical-mount space constraints favor TO-220FP over D-PAK |
Compared with STP16NF10 and IXTP16N10P, the IRFR3910 offers superior thermal performance (RθJC = 1.9°C/W vs. ≥3.0°C/W), surface-mount compatibility, and industry-leading 150mJ avalanche rating - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFR3910 at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFR3910 supports 12A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the D-PAK package and ensures safe operation within its 175°C maximum junction temperature, assuming proper PCB copper area and airflow.
Does IRFR3910 require a gate resistor for reliable switching?
Yes - a gate resistor (typically 10–22Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 88pF) and parasitic inductance. Without it, overshoot exceeding ±20V gate rating may occur, risking long-term reliability or immediate gate oxide failure during fast edge transitions.
Can IRFR3910 be used in synchronous rectification applications?
Yes - its body diode has 1.3V forward voltage at 9.0A and 130–190ns reverse recovery time, enabling use in secondary-side synchronous rectification of flyback or LLC converters. However, external synchronous FET drivers are required since IRFR3910 lacks integrated gate control logic.
Is the IRFR3910 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - Infineon confirms IRFR3910 meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The device carries the "HF" marking on its package and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
