Product details
Overview
IRLR2908PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D-Pak package, designed for high-efficiency DC-DC conversion and motor control switching. It delivers 30A continuous drain current at VGS = 10V, 28 mΩ RDS(on) at 25°C, 80V VDSS, and supports 175°C junction operation - enabling robust performance in automotive body electronics and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR2908PBF datasheet, IRLR2908PBF pinout, IRLR2908PBF application, or IRLR2908PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low gate charge (22 nC typ), fast switching (tr = 95 ns), repetitive avalanche rating, and surface-mount D-Pak thermal performance with RθJC = 1.3°C/W.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced silicon processing to minimize conduction loss while maintaining ruggedness against unclamped inductive switching. Its 22.5–28 mΩ RDS(on) range reflects process variation under 10V drive, and the 175°C TJ rating enables operation in thermally constrained environments without derating below 100°C case temperature.
The device integrates a low-loss intrinsic body diode (VSD = 1.3 V max, trr = 75–110 ns), supports 4.5V logic-level gate drive, and features 35 S forward transconductance - ensuring stable turn-on across temperature and load conditions in synchronous rectification and H-bridge topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 80 V - Withstands up to 80 V drain-source voltage before breakdown, suitable for 48 V nominal bus systems with transient margin. |
| RDS(on) | 28 mΩ max @ 25°C, VGS = 10 V - Limits conduction loss to ≤0.25 W at 30 A, critical for thermal management in compact PCB layouts. |
| ID (continuous) | 30 A @ TC = 25°C - Supports high-current loads such as BLDC motor phases or solenoid drivers without external heatsinking. |
| Qg | 22 nC typ - Enables efficient 100 kHz+ switching with moderate gate driver strength (e.g., TC4427), reducing switching loss. |
| tr/tf | 95 ns / 55 ns - Fast edge rates minimize overlap loss in hard-switched converters and reduce EMI filter burden. |
| EAS | 180 mJ single-pulse - Allows safe energy absorption during inductive turn-off events (e.g., relay or motor coil de-energization). |
| RθJC | 1.3 °C/W - Enables direct thermal coupling to copper pour or heatsink, supporting >1.5 W power dissipation in standard D-Pak mounting. |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252AA) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; optimized for vapor-phase and infrared reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current path output terminal | Connected to large copper area for heat sinking and low-inductance high-current routing; electrically tied to backside metal tab. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Serves as common reference for gate control and load current return; low-inductance layout essential for stable switching. |
| Gate (G) | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <22 nC charge; sensitive to ESD and ringing - needs local RC snubber or gate resistor ≥10 Ω. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 22.5 mΩ typical at 10 V gate drive - reduces I²R losses by >30% vs. legacy 40 mΩ D-Pak MOSFETs in 24–48 V systems. |
| 175°C maximum junction temperature | Enables operation in under-hood automotive modules or sealed industrial enclosures without forced air cooling. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Validated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to TJmax, eliminating need for external clamping diodes in relay drivers. |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 - compatible with standard reflow profiles and no pre-bake required. |
| Low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd) | 11–17 nC - minimizes Miller effect, improving noise immunity and enabling stable operation with high dv/dt (>10 V/ns). |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Industrial DC Motor Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Switching 12 V/24 V loads including door locks, window lifts, and HVAC actuators in vehicle BCMs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side or low-side power switch controlling inductive loads with integrated flyback energy handling.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP30NF20 | 200 V VDSS, 30 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package, higher RθJA (62°C/W) | Higher voltage margin but larger footprint and inferior thermal resistance - requires heatsink for >10 W dissipation. | Choose when 200 V rating is mandatory and board space allows through-hole mounting. |
| IRFZ44NPBF | 55 V VDSS, 28 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220, 49 A ID, no repetitive avalanche rating | Lacks avalanche ruggedness and 175°C rating - unsuitable for inductive switching without external protection. | Select only for low-voltage, non-inductive loads where cost is primary and thermal headroom is ample. |
Compared with STP30NF20 and IRFZ44NPBF, IRLR2908PBF offers superior thermal performance in surface-mount form, guaranteed repetitive avalanche capability, and optimal balance of voltage rating, on-resistance, and gate drive compatibility for 48 V-class systems.

FAQ
Is IRLR2908PBF suitable for 4.5 V gate drive?
Yes - the device is specified for full enhancement at VGS = 4.5 V, delivering 25 A minimum drain current and 30 mΩ max RDS(on). Its 1.0–2.5 V gate threshold ensures reliable turn-on with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic-level drivers, making it appropriate for microcontroller-driven low-side switches.
What is the maximum allowable pulsed drain current (IDM)?
The absolute maximum pulsed drain current is 150 A, limited by package and silicon thermal constraints. This rating applies for pulse widths ≤100 µs and duty cycle ≤1%, as defined in Figure 8 (SOA chart). Exceeding these conditions risks bond wire fusing or thermal runaway.
Does IRLR2908PBF require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a series gate resistor (typically 10–47 Ω) is recommended to dampen parasitic oscillation caused by gate loop inductance and Miller capacitance. Without it, ringing can exceed VGS absolute maximum (±16 V) and cause erratic switching or gate oxide damage.
Can the internal body diode be used for freewheeling in a buck converter?
Yes - the integrated body diode has 1.3 V forward voltage and 75–110 ns reverse recovery time, enabling use in non-synchronous buck topologies. However, for >100 kHz operation or high efficiency, external Schottky or synchronous FET replacement is advised due to diode conduction loss and recovery charge (Qrr = 210–310 nC).
