Product details
Overview
IRFU3711ZPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 20 V, 39 A N-channel DPAK-packaged Power MOSFET optimized for high-frequency synchronous buck converters in CPU core power delivery and telecom DC-DC modules. It features 4.5 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, 18 nC total gate charge, and fully characterized avalanche capability up to 140 mJ.
For engineers reviewing the IRFU3711ZPBF datasheet, IRFU3711ZPBF pinout, IRFU3711ZPBF application, or IRFU3711ZPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage gate drive compatibility (4.5 V logic-level), ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V, gate charge profile for hard-switched synchronous rectification, and thermal performance in surface-mount PCB layouts with limited copper area.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device uses planar vertical DMOS architecture with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted source metallization to achieve sub-5 mΩ on-resistance at 4.5 V gate drive while maintaining robust 20 V breakdown voltage. Its gate charge distribution (Qgs2 = 1.8 nC, Qgd = 6.5 nC) supports fast switching with controlled dV/dt immunity in synchronous FET positions.
The integrated body diode exhibits 19 ns reverse recovery time and 9.4 nC Qrr, enabling efficient operation in hard-commutated topologies without external Schottky assistance. Thermal resistance RθJC = 1.9 °C/W enables direct heatsinking through the exposed drain pad in DPAK packages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Supports 12 V input rails with margin for transient overshoot in point-of-load converters |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 4.5 mΩ max - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 15 A DC load current in compact PCB footprints |
| Qg | 18 nC typ - Determines gate driver current requirement (~1.8 A peak for 10 ns rise time) |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 39 A continuous - Sustains high pulsed currents in CPU transient response without derating |
| EAS | 140 mJ single-pulse - Withstands unclamped inductive energy during startup/fault in synchronous buck stages |
| RθJC | 1.9 °C/W - Allows direct thermal path to heatsink or copper pour, critical for >1 MHz operation |
| Qrr | 9.4 nC typ - Minimizes cross-conduction losses and EMI in synchronous rectifier mode |
Pinout & Package
IRFU3711ZPBF is housed in a lead-free DPAK (TO-252AA) package with an exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The three-terminal configuration supports high-current source-drain paths with minimal parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Gate) | Control electrode | Receives logic-level gate drive; low input capacitance (Ciss = 2160 pF) reduces driver loading |
| 2 (Drain) | Power output terminal | Exposed metal pad - electrically and thermally connected to internal die drain; requires solder mask defined thermal pad |
| 3 (Source) | Reference node | Common return path for load current and gate drive reference; low-inductance layout essential for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Specified RDS(on) ≤ 5.7 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V - eliminates need for level-shifting gate drivers in 5 V/3.3 V control systems |
| Ultra-low gate impedance | Qgd/Qgs2 ratio = 3.6 - suppresses Cdv/dt turn-on risk in high-dV/dt synchronous FET applications |
| Characterized avalanche | EAS = 140 mJ at TJ = 25°C - enables reliable operation under inductive switching stress without external snubbers |
| Optimized body diode | trr = 19 ns, Qrr = 9.4 nC - reduces shoot-through and switching loss in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) |
Applications
| Server VRM Core Power Stage | Telecom Isolated DC-DC Converter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3713PBF | RDS(on) = 5.0 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 15 nC; lower EAS (100 mJ) | Suitable for lower-power buck stages (<20 A) where gate drive current is constrained | Prefer when minimizing gate driver power loss is prioritized over avalanche ruggedness |
| SI7850DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 4.2 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 22 nC; SO-8 package (higher RθJA) | Better on-resistance but higher gate charge and inferior thermal performance in high-current designs | Select only if board space is extremely limited and thermal budget permits higher junction temperature |
Compared with IRL3713PBF and SI7850DP-T1-GE3, IRFU3711ZPBF delivers the best balance of low RDS(on), moderate Qg, and industry-leading avalanche energy-making it optimal for high-reliability, high-current synchronous rectifier roles where both efficiency and fault tolerance matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRFU3711ZPBF supports 30 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the DPAK package and must be validated against actual PCB copper area and airflow in the target application.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for safe operation in synchronous buck topologies?
Yes-a gate resistor (typically 2–10 Ω) is required to dampen ringing and control dV/dt during switching transitions. The device's low gate impedance and 6.5 nC Qgd make it susceptible to parasitic oscillation without proper gate network design, especially when driving high di/dt loads.
Can IRFU3711ZPBF be used as a high-side switch with bootstrap gate drive?
No-it is not rated for high-side operation with bootstrap circuits due to insufficient VGS rating (±20 V) and lack of built-in level-shift capability. Its design targets low-side synchronous rectification where gate drive referenced to source is straightforward and robust.
Is the body diode suitable for freewheeling in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)?
Yes-the body diode has characterized trr = 19 ns and Qrr = 9.4 nC, making it viable for DCM freewheeling in buck converters up to ~1 MHz. However, its forward voltage (VSD ≈ 1.0 V) is higher than Schottky alternatives, so conduction loss must be evaluated against switching loss trade-offs.
