Product details
Overview
IRLR3715Z from Infineon Technologies is a 20V N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in D-Pak package, optimized for high-frequency synchronous buck converters and isolated DC-DC converters. It delivers RDS(on) = 8.8 mΩ (typ) at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 7.2 nC (typ), and supports continuous drain current up to 49 A at TC = 25°C - enabling efficient low-voltage, high-current CPU core power delivery in server and telecom applications.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR3715Z datasheet, IRLR3715Z pinout, IRLR3715Z application, or IRLR3715Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low gate impedance, fully characterized avalanche capability (EAS = 40 mJ), and guaranteed RDS(on) performance down to 4.5 V gate drive - critical for 5 V and 3.3 V logic-level control in modern point-of-load regulators.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process technology with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted charge balancing to achieve simultaneous low RDS(on) and low gate charge. Its body diode exhibits trr = 11–17 ns and Qrr = 3.5–5.3 nC under specified conditions, supporting fast synchronous rectification without excessive shoot-through risk.
The device is rated for VDS = 20 V and features a gate threshold voltage VGS(th) = 1.65–2.55 V with negative temperature coefficient (−4.8 mV/°C), ensuring stable turn-on behavior across −55°C to +175°C junction range. Thermal resistance RθJC = 3.75°C/W enables direct heatsink mounting for high-power density designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Supports input rails up to 16 V DC with margin for transient spikes in 12 V systems |
| RDS(on) max @ VGS = 10 V | 11 mΩ - Enables ≤2.5 W conduction loss at 15 A DC, critical for thermal management in compact PCB layouts |
| Qg | 7.2 nC (typ) - Reduces gate driver power demand and switching transition time in >500 kHz converters |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 49 A - Sustains full load current in single-phase VRM stages without forced airflow |
| EAS | 40 mJ - Withstands unclamped inductive energy during startup/fault without failure in synchronous buck topologies |
| trr | 11–17 ns - Limits reverse recovery losses and cross-conduction risk when paired with control FETs |
| RθJC | 3.75°C/W - Allows direct thermal interface to heatsink for <10°C junction rise at 30 W dissipation |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252AA) package: surface-mount, single-sided heat transfer via exposed drain pad; compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal (body diode anode) | Connected to power ground plane; carries full load current and reverse recovery current during synchronous operation |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control electrode | Low-impedance input requiring <10 Ω series resistance to damp ringing; sensitive to Cdv/dt coupling from switching node |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Power output terminal (body diode cathode) | Connected to switching node; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI and voltage overshoot during turn-off |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V VGS | Enables direct drive from 5 V microcontrollers or PWM controllers without level-shifting, reducing BOM count |
| Fully characterized avalanche rating | Guarantees robustness against inductive switching stress in non-isolated topologies without external snubbers |
| Low Qgd/Qgs1 ratio | Minimizes Cdv/dt-induced false turn-on in synchronous rectifier position, lowering shoot-through risk |
| Optimized body diode recovery | Reduces Qrr-related losses transferred to control FET and improves light-load efficiency |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR3714Z | RDS(on) = 13 mΩ (max) at 10 V; Qg = 6.2 nC - slightly higher on-resistance but lower gate charge | Better suited for ultra-high-frequency (>1 MHz) designs where gate drive loss dominates over conduction loss | Select when prioritizing switching speed over peak current handling at elevated temperatures |
| SI2307DS | RDS(on) = 28 mΩ (max) at 4.5 V; SOT-23 package - smaller footprint but higher RDS(on) and lower current rating (4.9 A) | Targeted at space-constrained, low-power (<5 W) applications such as USB-C PD sink circuits | Choose only for sub-5 A loads where board area is more critical than efficiency or thermal margin |
Compared with IRLR3715Z, IRLR3714Z trades 2.2 mΩ higher RDS(on) for 1 nC lower Qg, favoring high-frequency light-load efficiency; SI2307DS sacrifices 150% higher on-resistance and 90% lower current capacity for 70% smaller footprint - making it unsuitable for any application demanding ≥10 A continuous current.

FAQ
Is IRLR3715Z suitable for 3.3 V gate drive?
No - IRLR3715Z is specified for guaranteed RDS(on) performance down to 4.5 V VGS, not 3.3 V. At 3.3 V, RDS(on) rises significantly (≥25 mΩ typical), increasing conduction loss and thermal stress. Use logic-level MOSFETs qualified for 3.3 V drive, such as IRLML6344, for true 3.3 V compatibility.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal relief?
For optimal thermal performance, the D-Pak drain pad should connect to ≥4 cm² of 2-oz copper on the component layer, with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, filled or plated) to an internal ground plane. This achieves effective RθJA ≈ 25°C/W in standard 4-layer boards, keeping TJ < 125°C at 30 W dissipation.
Does IRLR3715Z require a gate resistor for stability?
Yes - a 5–10 Ω non-inductive gate resistor is recommended between driver output and gate pin to suppress high-frequency oscillation caused by parasitic Lg–Ciss resonance. Omitting it risks gate voltage overshoot (>20 V), accelerated gate oxide degradation, and erratic switching behavior in high-dV/dt environments.
Can IRLR3715Z replace IRLU3715Z in the same PCB layout?
Yes - both share identical D-Pak (IRLR) and I-Pak (IRLU) footprints and pinouts (G-S-D), but IRLR3715Z has lower RDS(on) (11 mΩ vs. 12.4 mΩ max) and higher ID rating (49 A vs. 35 A). Thermal design must verify case temperature remains within limits due to higher current capability.
