Product details
Overview
IRL3402S from Infineon Technologies is a 20 V, 85 A, logic-level N-channel MOSFET in DPAK package, with RDS(on) = 4.2 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V and 3.3 mΩ at VGS = 7.0 V, optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC power stages in server VRMs and POL converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRL3402S datasheet, IRL3402S pinout, IRL3402S application, or IRL3402S equivalent, key selection criteria include gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V), low gate charge (QG = 62 nC), avalanche energy rating (EAS = 32 mJ), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.2 °C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon process technology to achieve low on-resistance and fast switching with minimal Miller capacitance (Crss = 190 pF). It supports synchronous rectification in buck converters operating up to 1 MHz with VGS drive down to 2.5 V.
The device features integrated body diode with reverse recovery time trr = 55 ns and Qrr = 35 nC under ID = 42.5 A, VDD = 12 V, and dI/dt = 100 A/µs conditions - enabling efficient hard-switched topologies without external Schottky supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 12 V input rail applications with margin |
| ID (continuous) | 85 A @ TC = 25 °C - supports high-current POL stages without parallel devices |
| RDS(on) | 4.2 mΩ @ VGS = 4.5 V - enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A in 12 V→1 V conversion |
| QG | 62 nC - reduces gate drive power and allows use with low-power PWM controllers |
| EAS | 32 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive energy during load dump or hot-swap events |
| RθJC | 1.2 °C/W - enables direct heatsink mounting for thermally constrained board space |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252AA) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement and mechanical robustness in automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – Gate | Control electrode | Logic-level compatible; requires ≤2.0 V VGS(th) for turn-on; low Ciss = 2,800 pF minimizes drive loss |
| 2 – Drain | Power output terminal | Internally connected to exposed copper pad; primary thermal path to PCB heatsink |
| 3 – Source | Power return reference | Common node for gate driver return and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical for EMI control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Guaranteed turn-on at VGS = 2.5 V - eliminates need for level-shifting in 3.3 V microcontroller-controlled systems |
| Low RDS(on) × QG figure of merit | 260 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for high-frequency operation |
| Enhanced avalanche ruggedness | Rated for repetitive unclamped inductive switching - supports reliable operation in motor gate drivers and solenoid controls |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 - suitable for standard reflow without baking |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3803S | RDS(on) = 5.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V; higher QG = 75 nC; same DPAK package | Slightly lower current rating (75 A); less suitable for >50 A continuous loads | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs marginal RDS(on) penalty and layout space permits minor thermal derating |
| SIHFU320 | RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ @ 10 V but requires 10 V gate drive; not logic-level | Requires external level shifter; unsuitable for 3.3 V MCU direct drive | Select only if system already uses 10 V gate bias and higher VGS tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with IRL3402S, IRL3803S trades 25% higher RDS(on) for lower unit cost, while SIHFU320 delivers marginally better conduction loss only when driven above 4.5 V - making IRL3402S optimal for compact, logic-level-driven, high-current DC-DC designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The IRL3402S has a rated maximum junction temperature of 175 °C. Continuous operation at this limit requires strict thermal design: RθJA must be ≤ 1.5 °C/W with 4-layer PCB, 2 oz copper, and 20 cm² exposed drain pad area. Derating curves in the datasheet show 85 A rating drops to 42 A at TC = 100 °C.
Does IRL3402S support paralleling for higher current?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) (normalized to 1.8× at 150 °C) ensures inherent current sharing. Successful paralleling requires matched gate drive impedance (<5 Ω per device), symmetrical layout, and shared source Kelvin connection to avoid oscillation. Up to four devices have been validated in 300 A VRM designs.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification?
The integrated body diode has trr = 55 ns and Qrr = 35 nC under standard test conditions, making it usable for synchronous rectification in non-critical 100–300 kHz applications. However, for >500 kHz or zero-voltage switching topologies, an external Schottky or GaN FET is recommended to minimize reverse recovery loss.
What is the gate-to-source voltage rating and safe operating range?
The absolute maximum VGS is ±20 V, but the device is characterized for reliable operation between –1.5 V (to prevent accidental turn-on during negative transients) and +16 V (for fast turn-off with strong gate pull-down). Recommended drive is 0 V to +7 V for logic-level compatibility; exceeding +10 V provides no RDS(on) benefit and increases gate oxide stress risk.
