Product details
Overview
IRLR3636PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a logic-level N-channel HEXFET Power MOSFET in D-Pak package, rated for 60 V VDS, 5.4 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5 V VGS, and 50 A continuous drain current (package-limited), optimized for high-efficiency synchronous rectification in SMPS and DC motor drive circuits.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR3636PBF datasheet, IRLR3636PBF pinout, IRLR3636PBF application, or IRLR3636PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low 4.5 V gate drive compatibility, 33 nC total gate charge, enhanced body diode dV/dt and dI/dt capability, and fully characterized avalanche SOA - critical for hard-switched and high-frequency power conversion designs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon technology with optimized cell layout to achieve ultra-low RDS(on) while maintaining robust switching performance. Its gate threshold voltage (1.0–2.5 V) ensures reliable turn-on with standard logic-level controllers, and its 332 pF Coss and 163 pF Crss support fast, controlled transitions in high-frequency topologies.
The device integrates an intrinsic body diode with 27 ns reverse recovery time (TJ = 25°C) and 31 nC Qrr, enabling efficient unclamped inductive switching. Avalanche ruggedness is validated up to 700 mJ single-pulse EAS at TJ = 25°C, with thermal resistance RθJC of 1.05 °C/W supporting high-power density PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 48 V bus systems and industrial DC supplies. |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 5.4 mΩ (typ), 6.8 mΩ (max) - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 50 A, critical for thermally constrained SMPS outputs. |
| ID (pkg-limited) | 50 A - Sustained current capability defined by D-Pak thermal and bond-wire limits, not silicon. |
| Qg | 33 nC (typ), 49 nC (max) - Determines gate driver strength requirement; supports >1 MHz switching with moderate drive impedance. |
| Coss | 332 pF - Output capacitance directly impacts turn-off energy and snubber design in hard-switched converters. |
| EAS | 700 mJ (typ) - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating enables robust operation during inductive fault transients without derating. |
| VGS(th) | 1.0–2.5 V - Ensures full enhancement with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIOs, eliminating level-shifting needs. |
Pinout & Package
IRLR3636PBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad for thermal enhancement. The three terminals are arranged in standard G-D-S order (left-to-right when viewed from top with marking side up).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gate (G) | Control electrode | Receives logic-level voltage (≥4.5 V) to fully enhance channel; internal gate resistance 0.6 Ω reduces ringing. |
| Drain (D) | High-side current path | Connected to exposed copper pad on bottom; primary thermal path to PCB heatsink; rated for 60 V blocking. |
| Source (S) | Reference node / return path | Common connection point for gate drive reference and load return; ties to power ground in low-side switch configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at 4.5 V VGS, compatible with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs and PWM controllers without external drivers. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) | 5.4 mΩ at 4.5 V enables <1.35 W conduction loss at 50 A, reducing heatsink requirements in compact power stages. |
| Enhanced body diode | 27 ns trr and 1109 A/µs dI/dt rating allow reliable synchronous rectification and freewheeling in high-dI/dt DC-DC stages. |
| Avalanche-rated SOA | Validated 700 mJ single-pulse EAS and 50 A IAR support unclamped inductive switching in motor drives and UPS inverters. |
| Lead-free construction | RoHS-compliant packaging meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles and industrial environmental standards. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRL3803PBF | Higher RDS(on) (8.0 mΩ @ 4.5 V), lower ID (30 A pkg-limited), same D-Pak package | Less suitable for >40 A continuous loads; reduced thermal margin in high-duty-cycle SMPS | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs conduction loss; verify thermal rise at target load. |
| STP55NF06L | Same VDS (60 V), higher RDS(on) (10.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V), TO-220 package (higher RθJA) | Requires larger heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs where D-Pak footprint is mandatory | Prefer only if through-hole mounting is required or legacy board compatibility is essential. |
Compared with IRLR3636PBF, IRL3803PBF trades lower cost for higher conduction loss and reduced current capacity, while STP55NF06L sacrifices SMT compatibility and thermal performance for broader distributor availability - making IRLR3636PBF optimal for high-density, high-efficiency SMT power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRLR3636PBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current at TC = 100°C is 70 A (silicon-limited) per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the package-limited rating remains 50 A across all case temperatures, governed by bond wire and thermal interface constraints - this 50 A value must be used for thermal design and layout verification.
Does IRLR3636PBF require a gate resistor for stability in high-frequency switching?
Yes - a series gate resistor (typically 5–25 Ω) is recommended to dampen parasitic oscillation caused by PCB trace inductance interacting with the device's 0.6 Ω internal gate resistance and 3779 pF Ciss. Without it, ringing can exceed VGS absolute maximum (±16 V) and cause erratic switching or gate oxide stress.
Can IRLR3636PBF be used in avalanche mode for clamping transient voltages?
Yes - it is fully characterized for single-pulse avalanche with EAS = 700 mJ at TJ = 25°C. Repetitive avalanche is permitted only if junction temperature stays below 175°C and energy per pulse remains within the derated curve in Figure 12; sustained operation requires careful thermal modeling and pulse-width limitation.
How does the body diode performance compare to discrete Schottky diodes in synchronous rectification?
At 50 A and 25°C, its VSD is 1.3 V versus ~0.5 V for a 60 V Schottky, but its 27 ns trr and 31 nC Qrr reduce switching loss significantly. When actively synchronized, total loss (conduction + recovery) is lower than Schottky above ~200 kHz due to absence of reverse recovery tail current and controllable turn-off timing.
