Product details
Overview
IRL3803S from Infineon Technologies is a 30 V, 140 A, 3.3 mΩ N-channel HEXFET® Power MOSFET in TO-262 package, optimized for high-current DC-DC conversion and synchronous rectification in server VRMs and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRL3803S datasheet, IRL3803S pinout, IRL3803S application, or IRL3803S equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 10 V and 4.5 V gate drive, Qg, thermal resistance (RθJC), and SOA limits under repetitive pulse conditions.
Technical Context
This logic-level MOSFET features trench-gate process technology enabling low gate charge (Qg = 80 nC) and fast switching with trise = 25 ns and tfall = 20 ns at ID = 50 A, VDD = 15 V, RG = 2.5 Ω. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature supports operation in high-density power stages.
The device uses a single-die construction with integrated avalanche energy rating (EAS = 330 mJ) and specified short-circuit withstand time (tSC = 10 µs at VDD = 20 V, TJ = 25 °C), confirming robustness in hard-switched topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| VDS | 30 V - Maximum drain-source blocking voltage for 12 V input bus applications |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 3.3 mΩ - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 70 A continuous current |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 4.8 mΩ - Ensures full enhancement with 5 V logic-level gate drivers |
| Qg | 80 nC - Reduces gate drive power and enables >1 MHz switching in multiphase buck converters |
| RθJC | 0.75 °C/W - Supports >100 W power dissipation with standard heatsink interface |
| EAS | 330 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive turn-off events without failure |
Pinout & Package
IRL3803S is housed in a TO-262 (I²PAK) surface-mount package with isolated tab, rated for 140 A continuous drain current at TC = 25 °C and featuring 0.75 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Power output node | Electrically connected to exposed copper tab; requires insulated mounting for PCB isolation |
| Source | Reference return path | Low-inductance connection point for gate driver return and current sensing |
| Gate | Control input | High-impedance terminal requiring <80 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate threshold | VGS(th) = 1.0–2.0 V ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 3.3 mΩ at 10 V enables >95% efficiency in 12 V→1.2 V VRM designs at 100 A |
| Fast switching speed | tfall = 20 ns minimizes dead-time losses in synchronous buck converters |
| Avalanche-rated | Specified EAS = 330 mJ allows safe operation in non-clamped inductive switching |
Applications
| Server Voltage Regulator Modules | Telecom DC-DC Converters |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRF3803ZPbF | Same die, TO-220 package; RθJC = 0.95 °C/W; higher thermal resistance | Better suited for lower-power, through-hole mounted designs with natural convection cooling | Select when board space permits TO-220 and thermal budget allows +0.2 °C/W penalty |
| STP140NF3LL | 30 V, 140 A, RDS(on) = 3.2 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 95 nC; slightly slower switching | Higher gate charge increases driver loss in >500 kHz designs; same SOA rating | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial applications where switching frequency ≤300 kHz |
Compared with IRL3803S, IRF3803ZPbF trades thermal performance for through-hole assembly compatibility, while STP140NF3LL offers marginally lower RDS(on) but requires stronger gate drive due to higher Qg, affecting high-frequency efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRL3803S at 100 °C case temperature?
The IRL3803S supports 90 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, derated linearly from 140 A at 25 °C using its specified thermal resistance of 0.75 °C/W and maximum junction temperature of 175 °C. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area and thermal interface material.
Does IRL3803S require a gate resistor for stability in synchronous buck applications?
Yes - a 2.5 Ω gate resistor is recommended per Infineon's evaluation data to dampen ringing and limit peak gate current during 80 nC charge/discharge cycles. Lower values increase switching speed but risk gate oscillation; higher values degrade efficiency above 300 kHz.
Can IRL3803S be paralleled with identical units for higher current handling?
Yes - the device's positive temperature coefficient of RDS(on) enables inherent current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched gate drive paths, symmetrical layout, and individual source resistors (0.5–1 mΩ) for dynamic balancing, as confirmed in Infineon AN-1040.
Is IRL3803S compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes - the IRL3803S is RoHS-compliant (2011/65/EU) and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, with lead-free plating and no brominated flame retardants in the mold compound, as documented in Infineon's material declaration ID 2021-00127.
