Product details
Overview
IRFU3910PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 100V, 7.8A N-channel HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-251AA (IPAK) package, featuring 140mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10V, 35A peak pulsed drain current, and 100% avalanche-rated operation. It serves as a high-efficiency, low-side switching element in DC-DC converters and motor control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRFU3910PBF datasheet, IRFU3910PBF pinout, IRFU3910PBF application, or IRFU3910PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100V VDSS, 140mΩ on-resistance, TO-251AA thermal performance, unclamped inductive switching capability, and lead-free RoHS-compliant construction.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar stripe cell technology with optimized gate oxide thickness to achieve stable threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 2.0–4.0V) and low gate charge (Qg = 24nC typ). Its rugged body diode supports bidirectional current flow in H-bridge configurations without external freewheeling diodes.
The device is characterized for operation from –55°C to +175°C junction temperature, with specified SOA curves covering linear-mode (ruggedness) and pulse-width-limited switching conditions. It meets JEDEC JESD47 reliability standards for power MOSFETs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 100V - maximum drain-source blocking voltage under continuous DC operation |
| RDS(on) @ VGS=10V | 140mΩ - conduction loss determines I²R heating in 7.8A continuous switching applications |
| ID (continuous) | 7.8A @ TC=25°C - usable current limit when mounted on infinite heatsink |
| Qg | 24nC - total gate charge directly impacts required driver current and switching speed |
| EAS | 110mJ - unclamped inductive switching energy rating defines safe operating area in relay/motor drive snubberless designs |
| TJ max | +175°C - maximum junction temperature enables high-ambient industrial and automotive under-hood use |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-251AA (IPAK), single-ended vertical-mount leadframe package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal transfer to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal | Internally connected to exposed metal tab - must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal management |
| Gate (G) | Control input | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <1µA bias; sensitive to ESD - needs series resistor and TVS protection |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive | Common return path for load current; establishes local ground reference for gate driver circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% UIS tested | Each unit validated for unclamped inductive switching up to 110mJ - eliminates need for external snubbers in solenoid drivers |
| Fast body diode | trr = 55ns - enables efficient synchronous rectification and reduces reverse recovery losses in buck converters |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | Pb-free plating per JEDEC JS709B - satisfies global environmental compliance without derating |
| Enhanced dv/dt capability | Rated for 4.5V/ns - suppresses false turn-on in high-noise motor drive environments |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP36NF10 | RDS(on) = 36mΩ (lower), but VDSS = 100V same; TO-220 package, higher thermal resistance | Better conduction efficiency but requires larger heatsink due to TO-220 thermal impedance | Prefer for lower-loss, space-tolerant designs where board area permits TO-220 mounting |
| IXTP12N10P | RDS(on) = 120mΩ, Qg = 18nC (lower), TO-220 package; no UIS rating published | Lower gate drive demand but lacks validated avalanche ruggedness for inductive loads | Choose only in non-inductive, low-dv/dt applications like LED switching where UIS is not required |
Compared with STP36NF10 and IXTP12N10P, IRFU3910PBF offers superior thermal integration via TO-251AA's low θJA (62°C/W), verified UIS capability for motor drives, and balanced trade-off between RDS(on), Qg, and package size for space-constrained industrial PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRFU3910PBF at 100°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, the maximum continuous drain current is derated to 4.9A. This value is derived from the device's Safe Operating Area (SOA) curve and thermal resistance (RθJC = 3.5°C/W), ensuring junction temperature remains ≤175°C under sustained conduction.
Does IRFU3910PBF require a gate resistor for standard 5V logic-level driving?
No - IRFU3910PBF has a gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) of 2.0–4.0V, making it compatible with direct 5V microcontroller GPIO drive. However, a 10–22Ω series gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing and limit peak gate current during fast switching.
Can IRFU3910PBF replace IRFU120 in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical TO-251AA package, pinout, and voltage rating (100V), but IRFU3910PBF offers 140mΩ RDS(on) versus IRFU120's 220mΩ. This reduces conduction loss by ~36%, allowing higher current or cooler operation without layout changes.
Is the body diode in IRFU3910PBF suitable for reverse recovery in synchronous rectification?
Yes - its body diode has trr = 55ns and Qrr = 45nC, verified in datasheet Figure 12. These values support synchronous rectification up to 300kHz in buck converters, provided gate drive timing avoids shoot-through and accounts for diode forward voltage drop.
