Product details
Overview
IRL3714ZSPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 20V N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized as a synchronous rectifier FET in high-frequency buck converters for CPU core power delivery. It delivers 16 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, 4.8 nC total gate charge, and 36 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C, enabling efficient low-voltage, high-current switching in server and desktop VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the IRL3714ZSPBF datasheet, IRL3714ZSPBF pinout, IRL3714ZSPBF application, or IRL3714ZSPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low gate impedance, fully characterized avalanche capability, body diode reverse recovery time (8.3–12 ns), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 4.3°C/W), all critical for synchronous buck converter stability and loss minimization.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon HEXFET architecture with integrated body diode, designed for unidirectional high-side or low-side switching in non-isolated DC/DC topologies. Its 20 V VDS rating and 1.65–2.55 V gate threshold enable robust operation with 3.3 V and 5 V gate drivers, while the 99 pF Crss supports fast, controlled turn-off under high dV/dt conditions.
The device is fully specified for clamped inductive avalanche (EAS = 100 mJ at TJ = 25°C) and exhibits linear derating of 0.23 W/°C above 100°C case temperature. Its Qgd/Qgs1 ratio is minimized to suppress Cdv/dt turn-on - a critical requirement for reliable synchronous FET operation in 500 kHz–1 MHz VRMs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input rails and transient overshoot in CPU power stages |
| RDS(on) max @ 4.5 V | 16 mΩ - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 30 A RMS in 12 V→1.2 V buck stage |
| Qg | 4.8 nC - Low gate drive energy reduces controller loading and enables use with low-power PWM ICs |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 36 A - Supports high peak currents in transient load steps without thermal runaway |
| RθJC | 4.3 °C/W - Allows direct heatsink mounting for >60 W dissipation with ≤100°C junction rise |
| trr | 8.3–12 ns - Minimizes shoot-through risk and body diode losses during dead-time transitions |
| VGS(th) | 1.65–2.55 V - Ensures full enhancement with standard logic-level gate drivers (e.g., IR35201) |
Pinout & Package
IRL3714ZSPBF is housed in a through-hole TO-220AB package with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard for high-power discrete MOSFETs requiring mechanical robustness and thermal interface to external heatsinks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output terminal | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be insulated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits |
| Source | Reference node for gate control and current return | Common connection point for gate driver return, sense resistor, and low-side current monitoring |
| Gate | Control electrode for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <5 V logic-level drive; sensitive to ESD and ringing without proper RC snubbing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 16 mΩ enables >95% efficiency in 12 V→1.0 V/30 A VRM at 500 kHz switching |
| Fully characterized avalanche | 100 mJ single-pulse EAS allows safe operation under inductor saturation or load dump events |
| Low Qgd/Qgs1 ratio | Minimizes susceptibility to Cdv/dt turn-on during high-speed node transitions in synchronous buck |
| Lead-free D2Pak-compatible footprint | TO-220AB outline supports drop-in replacement for IRL3714ZPbF and IRL3714ZLPbF variants |
| Optimized body diode recovery | Qrr = 1.5–2.3 nC and trr = 8.3–12 ns reduce cross-conduction losses in hard-switched topologies |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3713PBF | RDS(on) = 12 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 5.8 nC; TO-220AB | Lower RDS(on) but higher gate charge increases driver loss and EMI risk at >1 MHz | Select when conduction loss dominates and gate drive capability supports higher Qg |
| SI7850DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 14 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 4.2 nC; PowerPAK SO-8 | Surface-mount package requires PCB redesign; lower thermal resistance to board but no isolated tab | Select for space-constrained designs where board-level thermal management replaces heatsink mounting |
Compared with IRL3714ZSPBF, IRL3713PBF trades marginally better conduction loss for increased gate drive burden, while SI7850DP-T1-GE3 offers superior Qg and footprint but sacrifices mechanical robustness and heatsink compatibility - making IRL3714ZSPBF optimal for thermally demanding, through-hole VRM upgrades.

FAQ
Is IRL3714ZSPBF suitable for use as a high-side switch in a buck converter?
No - IRL3714ZSPBF is an N-channel MOSFET with source-terminal referenced gate control, requiring a gate drive voltage ≥ VIN + VGS(th) for high-side operation. It lacks integrated bootstrap circuitry or level-shifting capability. It is engineered specifically as a low-side synchronous rectifier where source is grounded or tied to a known reference.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal relief when using IRL3714ZSPBF in TO-220AB?
For optimal thermal performance, a minimum 250 mm² (15 mm × 17 mm) double-sided 2 oz copper pour connected to the drain tab via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, filled) is recommended. This achieves effective RθJA ≈ 40°C/W per datasheet, enabling 6.5 W continuous dissipation at 50°C ambient.
Does IRL3714ZSPBF require a gate resistor for stable operation in a 600 kHz buck converter?
Yes - a 4.7 Ω to 10 Ω gate resistor is recommended between driver output and gate pin to dampen LC ringing caused by trace inductance and Qgd feedback. Without it, overshoot exceeding ±20 V can trigger parasitic turn-on or oscillation, especially with fast drivers like IR2110 or UCC27531.
Can IRL3714ZSPBF replace IRL3714ZPbF in existing designs without layout changes?
Yes - IRL3714ZSPBF shares identical TO-220AB mechanical dimensions, pinout, thermal profile, and electrical specifications with IRL3714ZPbF. The "S" suffix denotes lead-free plating (SnAgCu) instead of standard Pb/Sn, complying with RoHS 2011/65/EU without affecting solderability or reliability under J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1.
