Product details
Overview
IRL3715ZSPBF from Infineon Technologies is a 20V N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in TO-220AB package, optimized as a synchronous rectifier or control FET in high-frequency DC/DC converters. It delivers 11 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, 7.0 nC total gate charge, and 50 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C - enabling efficient low-voltage CPU core power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the IRL3715ZSPBF datasheet, IRL3715ZSPBF pinout, IRL3715ZSPBF application, or IRL3715ZSPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low gate impedance, fully characterized avalanche capability (200 mJ EAS), body diode reverse recovery performance (Qrr = 2.2–3.3 nC), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 3.33°C/W) for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process technology with integrated body diode and optimized gate oxide for robust 4.5 V logic-level drive compatibility. Its low RDS(on) and minimized Qgd/Qgs1 ratio reduce Cdv/dt turn-on risk in synchronous buck topologies where the drain swings between 0 V and input voltage.
Thermal design is supported by validated transient thermal impedance (ZthJC) and linear derating (0.30 W/°C above 100°C). Avalanche energy rating (EAS = 200 mJ) and repetitive avalanche capability (IAR = 50 A) are fully characterized per unclamped inductive test conditions (di/dt = 100 A/µs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V and 5 V input rails in point-of-load converters |
| RDS(on) max @ 4.5 V | 11 mΩ - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 12 A DC, critical for high-efficiency synchronous rectification |
| Qg | 7.0 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power loss and enables fast switching at >1 MHz frequencies |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 50 A - Supports high-current CPU/GPU VRMs without parallel devices |
| RθJC | 3.33 °C/W - Allows direct heatsink mounting for thermal management in compact power stages |
| Qrr | 2.2–3.3 nC - Quantified reverse recovery charge minimizes shoot-through risk during dead-time transitions |
| EAS | 200 mJ - Validated single-pulse avalanche energy supports robustness against inductive transients |
Pinout & Package
IRL3715ZSPBF uses the TO-220AB package: insulated tab, vertical lead frame, 3-pin through-hole configuration with standard mechanical footprint and thermal pad on the drain-connected backside.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / thermal interface | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless referenced to system ground |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Low-inductance connection required to minimize VGS noise and improve switching stability |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring low-ESR gate resistor (typically 5–10 Ω) to damp ringing and control dV/dt |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Specified RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V enables direct interfacing with PWM controllers and microcontrollers without level-shifting |
| Fully characterized avalanche | 200 mJ EAS and 50 A IAR tested per JEDEC JESD24-1, supporting reliable operation under unclamped inductive switching |
| Ultra-low gate impedance | Qgd/Qgs1 ratio optimized to suppress Cdv/dt induced turn-on in high-dV/dt synchronous nodes |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating and halogen-free mold compound meet IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow requirements |

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) = 8.0 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 10.5 nC; TO-220AB package | Lower RDS(on) improves conduction loss but higher Qg increases switching loss above 800 kHz | Preferred for lower-frequency, high-current VRMs where thermal margin exceeds 10°C |
| SI7850DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 10.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 5.8 nC; PowerPAK SO-8 package | Smaller footprint and lower Qg suit space-constrained designs, but RθJA = 50°C/W limits power density | Best for compact consumer electronics where board area is prioritized over peak current capability |
Compared with IRL3715ZSPBF, IRL3713PBF trades higher gate charge for lower on-resistance - favoring conduction-limited designs - while SI7850DP-T1-GE3 offers superior switching efficiency in surface-mount layouts but requires careful thermal layout due to higher junction-to-ambient resistance.

FAQ
Is IRL3715ZSPBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, IRL3715ZSPBF is fully RoHS-compliant and manufactured with lead-free terminations and halogen-free epoxy molding compound. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak temperature.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for IRL3715ZSPBF in a synchronous buck converter?
IRL3715ZSPBF supports reliable operation up to 1.5 MHz, validated by its 7.0 nC Qg, 3.2 nC Qsw, and 4.6 ns fall time. At 1.2 MHz with 12 A load, measured switching loss remains below 0.8 W using a 6 Ω gate resistor and 4.5 V drive - provided PCB layout minimizes source inductance.
Does IRL3715ZSPBF require a gate driver IC when used with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
No - IRL3715ZSPBF's VGS(th) range (1.65–2.55 V) and guaranteed RDS(on) at 4.5 V allow direct drive from 3.3 V GPIOs in low-frequency (<100 kHz), low-current applications. For high-frequency or high-current use, a dedicated gate driver is recommended to ensure full enhancement and minimize transition time.
How does the body diode performance of IRL3715ZSPBF compare to Schottky alternatives?
IRL3715ZSPBF's body diode has VSD = 1.0 V and Qrr = 2.2–3.3 nC at 12 A, offering lower forward drop than standard Si diodes but higher than Schottky rectifiers. Its advantage lies in monolithic integration, eliminating discrete component count and parasitic inductance - critical for high-frequency synchronous rectification where timing alignment matters more than absolute VF.
