Product details
Overview
IRFU7740PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 75V, 87A N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in I-Pak package, optimized for high-current switching in motor drives and DC/DC converters. It delivers 6.0 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, supports 330 A pulsed drain current, and features enhanced body diode dV/dt and dI/dt capability for robust synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the IRFU7740PBF datasheet, IRFU7740PBF pinout, IRFU7740PBF application, or IRFU7740PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 75 V VBR(DSS), 1.05 °C/W RθJC, 84 nC total gate charge, avalanche-rated 160 mJ EAS, and suitability for half-bridge topologies with fast 36 ns rise time and 30 ns fall time.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon-gate technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted drift region to achieve low on-resistance while maintaining rugged unclamped inductive switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (2.1–3.7 V) enables direct drive from 5 V logic controllers, and its 230 pF Crss ensures stable operation under high dV/dt conditions up to 12 V/ns.
The device integrates a fast, soft-recovery body diode with 35 ns reverse recovery time (TJ = 25°C) and 45 nC Qrr, enabling efficient OR-ing and resonant-mode operation without external Schottky supplementation. Thermal design is supported by validated transient impedance curves and SOA-limited operation up to 175°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR(DSS) | 75 V - Withstands 75 V drain-source blocking voltage before avalanche conduction begins; rated at 250 µA leakage. |
| RDS(on) typ. | 6.0 mΩ - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 52 A continuous current with 10 V gate drive; critical for thermal management in high-current PCB layouts. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 87 A - Maximum continuous silicon-limited drain current at case temperature of 25°C; defines steady-state power handling in heatsink-mounted designs. |
| Qg max | 126 nC - Total gate charge required to fully switch the device; determines driver strength requirement and switching loss in hard-switched topologies. |
| EAS | 160 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating at TJ = 25°C; allows safe operation during inductive turn-off transients without external snubbers. |
| tr/tf | 36 ns / 30 ns - Rise and fall times measured at VDD = 38 V, ID = 52 A; enables >1 MHz switching in resonant converters with controlled EMI. |
| VSD | 1.2 V - Forward voltage of integrated body diode at IS = 52 A and TJ = 25°C; impacts conduction loss in synchronous rectifier and bidirectional power flow applications. |
Pinout & Package
I-Pak package (TO-251AA), surface-mountable with isolated tab, featuring three terminals: Gate (G), Drain (D), and Source (S). The drain-connected tab provides low-inductance thermal path to heatsink or copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control input | Accepts 0–20 V gate-to-source voltage; 2.2 Ω internal gate resistance limits ringing and simplifies driver design. |
| D | Drain (high-side switch node) | Connected to drain metallization and exposed tab; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout for EMI control. |
| S | Source (return path) | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing; ties directly to power ground plane to minimize common-source inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced body diode dV/dt capability | 12 V/ns peak recovery dv/dt at TJ = 175°C - prevents false turn-on during high-speed commutation in bridge legs. |
| Fully characterized avalanche SOA | 160 mJ single-pulse EAS with thermal-limited failure mode - eliminates need for external clamping in brushed motor H-bridge flyback events. |
| Low Coss eff. (TR) | 440 pF - reduces turn-off loss and improves zero-voltage switching (ZVS) margin in LLC and phase-shifted full-bridge converters. |
| Lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction | Meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 - supports lead-free reflow without popcorn cracking or delamination. |
| Improved dynamic dV/dt ruggedness | Validated >50 V/ns immunity in unclamped inductive test - ensures reliable operation in noisy industrial 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP75NF75 | 75 V VBR(DSS), 75 A ID, 10.5 mΩ RDS(on) - higher on-resistance and lower current rating. | Less suitable for 87 A continuous loads; requires larger heatsink in motor drive applications. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance and board space is constrained by TO-220 footprint. |
| IXTP75N075 | 75 V VBR(DSS), 75 A ID, 9.0 mΩ RDS(on), 140 nC Qg - higher gate charge increases driver complexity. | Slower switching (tr = 50 ns) limits use in >500 kHz ZVS topologies. | Prefer for linear-regulator-style applications where gate drive simplicity matters more than switching speed. |
Compared with STP75NF75 and IXTP75N075, IRFU7740PBF offers the lowest RDS(on) and highest pulsed current capability in I-Pak, making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency motor and converter designs where thermal headroom and transient robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable gate-to-source voltage for IRFU7740PBF?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V per the datasheet. Operation beyond ±20 V risks permanent gate oxide damage. For reliable long-term performance, gate drive should be limited to +10 V to +15 V for turn-on and –5 V to 0 V for turn-off, especially in high-noise motor drive environments.
Can IRFU7740PBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes - its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (RDS(on) increases with junction temperature) enables inherent current sharing. Successful paralleling requires matched gate drive impedance, symmetrical PCB layout, and thermal coupling via shared heatsink to maintain <10°C ΔTJ between devices.
Is the body diode suitable for continuous reverse conduction?
The integrated body diode is rated for continuous source current up to 87 A at TC = 25°C, matching the MOSFET's drain current rating. However, its 1.2 V forward drop and 35 ns trr make it appropriate for synchronous rectification but not for high-frequency freewheeling without careful thermal design.
Does IRFU7740PBF require a gate resistor for stability?
A gate resistor (typically 2.7–10 Ω) is recommended to dampen gate ringing caused by PCB inductance and driver output impedance. The device's 2.2 Ω internal gate resistance helps, but external series resistance ensures controlled turn-on/turn-off timing and reduces EMI in high-dV/dt applications like motor drives.
