Product details
Overview
IRLR3717TRLPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, designed as a low-voltage synchronous rectifier or control FET in high-frequency DC-DC converters. It delivers 4.0 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, 21 nC total gate charge, and 120 A pulsed drain current, enabling efficient operation in computer VRMs and telecom isolated converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR3717TRLPBF datasheet, IRLR3717TRLPBF pinout, IRLR3717TRLPBF application, or IRLR3717TRLPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low gate impedance, fully characterized avalanche capability (EAS = 2000 mJ), body diode reverse recovery performance (Qrr = 13–19 nC), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.69 °C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar HEXFET® technology optimized for 20 V VDSS operation with tight threshold voltage distribution (VGS(th) = 1.55–2.45 V) and negative temperature coefficient for gate threshold. Its low output charge (Qoss = 13 pF at VDS = 10 V) and reverse transfer capacitance (Crss = 420 pF) minimize switching losses and Cdv/dt turn-on risk in hard-switched topologies.
The device features a fully rated intrinsic body diode with trr = 22–33 ns and Qrr = 13–19 nC under 100 A/µs di/dt, supporting synchronous rectification without external Schottky supplementation. Thermal design is enabled by direct die-to-case conduction path and validated transient thermal impedance data up to 100 ms pulse width.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 20 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 12 V input rails and 5 V logic-level gate drive. |
| RDS(on) max @ 4.5 V | 4.0 mΩ - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 15 A RMS in VRM output stages. |
| Qg | 21 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power demand and enables >1 MHz switching with standard gate drivers. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 89 A - Continuous current rating supports high-current single-phase buck designs without forced air. |
| EAS | 2000 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy validated at IAS = 12 A, ensuring robustness against inductive transients. |
| RθJC | 1.69 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance allows direct heatsinking via PCB copper pour or clip-mounting. |
| Qrr | 13–19 nC - Body diode reverse recovery charge directly impacts synchronous FET switching loss and shoot-through margin. |
Pinout & Package
IRLR3717TRLPBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The package features three terminals: Gate (G), Drain (D), and Source (S), with Drain electrically connected to the tab for low-inductance, high-current paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control terminal | Receives logic-level gate drive (≤4.5 V); low input capacitance (Ciss = 2830 pF) minimizes driver loading. |
| D | Drain (high-side switch node) | Connected to exposed metal tab; carries full load current and must be soldered to large copper area for thermal management. |
| S | Source (power ground reference) | Common return path for gate drive and load current; low source inductance critical for minimizing VGS ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | Enables use with 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller outputs without level-shifting, reducing BOM count in compact VRMs. |
| Fully characterized avalanche | Validated EAS and IAR ratings allow safe operation in unclamped inductive switching without snubbers. |
| Low Qgd/Qgs1 ratio | Reduces susceptibility to Cdv/dt turn-on during high dV/dt transitions at the synchronous node, improving shoot-through immunity. |
| Optimized body diode | Fast trr and low Qrr minimize reverse recovery losses and enable zero-voltage switching (ZVS) assist in resonant topologies. |
Applications
| Server CPU Voltage Regulator | Telecom 48 V to 12 V Isolated DC-DC |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-voltage power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR3714PbF | RDS(on) = 5.0 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 17 nC; lower current rating (79 A ID) | Higher conduction loss but faster switching due to lower Qg; suited for lighter loads with tighter timing budgets. | Select when gate drive strength is limited and thermal margin exceeds 15°C. |
| SI7850DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ @ 4.5 V; Qg = 24 nC; SO-8 package with higher RθJA (62 °C/W) | Lower on-resistance but inferior thermal performance; requires larger PCB copper area for same power dissipation. | Prefer only if board space constraints prohibit D-Pak footprint and airflow is available. |
Compared with IRLR3717TRLPBF, the IRLR3714PbF trades conduction efficiency for reduced gate drive demand, while the SI7850DP-T1-GE3 improves RDS(on) at the cost of thermal resistance and package size-making IRLR3717TRLPBF optimal for thermally constrained, high-current synchronous rectification.

FAQ
Is IRLR3717TRLPBF suitable for 3.3 V gate drive?
Yes. With VGS(th) ranging from 1.55 V to 2.45 V and RDS(on) fully specified at 4.5 V, the device achieves 4.0 mΩ on-resistance using standard 3.3 V logic outputs when operated within its safe SOA. Gate drive must deliver ≥2 A peak current to ensure fast turn-on and suppress Cdv/dt effects.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal management?
For continuous 89 A operation at TC = 25°C, a minimum 400 mm² (20 mm × 20 mm) 2-oz copper pour connected to the drain tab is required. Thermal simulation shows junction temperature remains below 150°C with this layout and 100 LFM airflow, per Figure 9 and Figure 11 in the official datasheet.
Does IRLR3717TRLPBF have a qualified AEC-Q101 rating for automotive use?
No. IRLR3717TRLPBF is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it meets automotive-grade reliability screening in some applications (e.g., ADAS domain controllers), Infineon designates the IRF7478PbF and IPD70N03S4L-25 as its AEC-Q101-compliant alternatives for 20 V N-channel MOSFETs in automotive systems.
Can this MOSFET replace a Schottky diode in a 12 V output rectifier?
Yes-when used with active gate control. Its low RDS(on) (3.4 mΩ typ.) yields lower forward voltage than a 40 V Schottky at >8 A, and its body diode trr (22 ns) avoids hard reverse recovery. However, gate timing must be precisely synchronized to prevent shoot-through; a dedicated synchronous rectifier controller (e.g., IR11672) is required.
