Product details
Overview
IRLR3705ZPBF from Infineon Technologies is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 55V VDSS, 8.0 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 42 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It features 175°C maximum junction temperature, fast switching (tr = 150 ns, tf = 70 ns), and rated repetitive avalanche capability-designed for high-efficiency DC-DC converters, motor drives, and synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR3705ZPBF datasheet, IRLR3705ZPBF pinout, IRLR3705ZPBF application, or IRLR3705ZPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive, body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 14–28 nC), thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.14 °C/W), and avalanche energy rating (EAS = 89 mJ).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced silicon processing to minimize on-resistance per unit area while maintaining robust safe operating area (SOA) up to 100 µs pulse width at 175°C. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.0–3.0 V) enables direct drive from 3.3 V and 5 V logic controllers without level-shifting.
The device integrates a low-loss body diode with VSD = 1.3 V at 42 A and trr = 21–42 ns, supporting high-frequency hard-switched topologies. Its Qg = 44–66 nC and Qgd/Qgs ratio supports stable gate control under high dv/dt conditions typical in buck converters and half-bridge inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 55 V - Maximum blocking voltage before avalanche; suitable for 48 V nominal bus systems with 20% transient margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 6.5–8.0 mΩ - Enables <1.4 W conduction loss at 42 A, critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| ID Continuous @ TC = 25°C | 42 A - Silicon-limited current rating; requires heatsinking or forced air above ~60°C case temperature. |
| Qg Total Gate Charge | 44–66 nC - Determines gate driver power requirement; compatible with common 1–2 A peak drivers (e.g., IR2110, UCC27531). |
| EAS Single-Pulse Avalanche Energy | 89 mJ - Allows unclamped inductive switching survival in motor phase-leg or relay snubber applications. |
| TJ Operating Range | −55°C to +175°C - Supports operation in automotive under-hood, industrial motor control, and outdoor power equipment. |
| RθJC | 1.14 °C/W - Enables precise junction temperature estimation using measured case temperature; essential for SOA compliance. |
Pinout & Package
IRLR3705ZPBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The package has three terminals: Drain (D), Source (S), and Gate (G), with Drain electrically connected to the tab for low-inductance, high-current return path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main high-side current path output | Exposed copper pad soldered to large PCB copper pour; carries full load current and serves as primary thermal interface to heatsink. |
| Source | Reference node for gate drive and current sensing | Low-inductance source connection critical for accurate current monitoring and minimizing shoot-through risk in bridge configurations. |
| Gate | Control input for channel conduction | High-impedance MOS gate requiring <66 nC charge; sensitive to ESD and ringing-requires RC snubber or gate resistor ≥4.2 Ω per datasheet test circuit. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive compatibility | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 4.5 V (RDS(on) ≤ 12 mΩ), enabling direct interface with microcontrollers and low-voltage PWM ICs. |
| Repetitive avalanche rated | Rated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to TJmax; validated per AN-1005 methodology-not just single-pulse qualified. |
| Ultra-low RDS(on) × Qg figure of merit | ~520 mΩ·nC - balances conduction and switching losses for high-frequency (>100 kHz) SMPS designs. |
| Enhanced body diode performance | Qrr = 14–28 nC and trr = 21–42 ns support efficient synchronous rectification and reduce cross-conduction losses in LLC resonant converters. |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile; Pb-free terminations withstand 260°C for 10 seconds-compatible with standard SMT assembly lines. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STP55NF06L | RDS(on) = 11 mΩ @ 10 V; higher Qg = 85 nC; TO-220 package; no avalanche rating specified. | Larger footprint and higher switching loss; unsuitable for compact SMT designs or repetitive inductive turn-off. | Prefer only if TO-220 mechanical mounting is required and gate drive strength exceeds 2 A peak. |
| IRL3803PBF | RDS(on) = 6.0 mΩ @ 10 V but VDSS = 30 V; same D-Pak; lower EAS (50 mJ) and TJmax = 175°C. | Not usable in 48 V systems due to insufficient breakdown margin; better for 24 V battery-powered tools. | Select only for 30 V nominal rails where lowest possible conduction loss is prioritized over voltage headroom. |
Compared with STP55NF06L and IRL3803PBF, IRLR3705ZPBF uniquely balances 55 V rating, 8.0 mΩ on-resistance, D-Pak form factor, and validated repetitive avalanche-making it optimal for 48 V industrial and automotive power stages where both voltage margin and thermal density matter.

FAQ
Is IRLR3705ZPBF suitable for 48 V automotive applications?
Yes. With 55 V VDSS, 175°C TJmax, and AEC-Q101 qualification (per Infineon documentation), it meets ISO 7637-2 load-dump and jump-start surge requirements when properly heatsinked. Its 8.0 mΩ RDS(on) ensures low power loss in 48 V battery management and ADAS power supplies.
What is the recommended gate resistor value for hard-switched operation?
Per Figure 13a in the datasheet, a 4.2 Ω gate resistor is used for characterization. For 100–500 kHz switching, 5–10 Ω is recommended to dampen ringing while keeping tr/tf within 150/70 ns limits. Lower values (<3 Ω) require careful PCB layout to avoid oscillation.
Does the body diode support synchronous rectification in continuous conduction mode?
Yes. Its Qrr = 14–28 nC and trr = 21–42 ns enable clean commutation in CCM buck converters up to 300 kHz. However, external Schottky clamping is advised if reverse recovery-induced voltage spikes exceed 10% of VIN.
How does thermal derating work above 25°C case temperature?
At TC = 100°C, continuous ID drops to 21 A (50% derating) due to package limitation. Derating follows linear 0.88 W/°C slope beyond 25°C, per Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Junction temperature must stay ≤175°C-verified using RθJC = 1.14 °C/W and measured TC.
