Product details
Overview
IRLR3717TRPBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a 20 V, 120 A N-channel HEXFET Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, optimized for high-frequency synchronous buck converters in CPU VRMs and telecom DC-DC supplies. It delivers 3.4 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 21 nC total gate charge, and features fully characterized avalanche capability with 89 mJ single-pulse EAS.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR3717TRPBF datasheet, IRLR3717TRPBF pinout, IRLR3717TRPBF application, or IRLR3717TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive, ultra-low gate impedance for fast switching, body diode reverse recovery performance (Qrr = 13–19 nC), and thermal resistance (RθJC = 1.69 °C/W) for high-current PCB-mounted power stages.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon HEXFET architecture with optimized cell pitch and trench-free process to achieve ultra-low on-resistance while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching (UIS) performance. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.55–2.45 V) and negative temperature coefficient (−6.4 mV/°C) enable stable parallel operation in multiphase VRMs.
The device integrates an intrinsic body diode with 1.0 V forward voltage (VSD) at 12 A and 22–33 ns reverse recovery time (trr), supporting synchronous rectification without external Schottky diodes. Its Ciss/Coss/Crss values (2830/920/420 pF) are tuned for minimal Miller effect and reduced dv/dt-induced turn-on risk in high-side switching configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 20 V - Supports 12 V input rails with margin for transient overshoot in point-of-load converters |
| RDS(on) max @ 10 V | 4.0 mΩ - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 15 A RMS in 4-phase CPU VRM designs |
| Qg | 21 nC - Allows full switching within 20 ns using 1 A gate driver, minimizing dead-time losses |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 120 A - Sustains peak load currents in server processor power stages without derating |
| EAS | 89 mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy during startup/fault conditions in synchronous buck topologies |
| RθJC | 1.69 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting via exposed drain pad for thermal management under 100 W dissipation |
| trr | 22–33 ns - Limits cross-conduction loss during body-diode commutation in high-frequency (>500 kHz) sync rectifiers |
Pinout & Package
IRLR3717TRPBF uses the D-Pak (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The three-terminal configuration supports high-current source-drain paths with low-inductance gate routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (Tab) | Main current path output / thermal interface | Exposed copper pad soldered to PCB ground plane or heatsink; carries full load current and dissipates heat directly |
| Source | Reference node for gate control / return path | Low-impedance connection to power ground; critical for accurate gate drive referencing and current sensing |
| Gate | Control terminal for channel modulation | High-impedance input requiring <21 nC charge; sensitive to layout parasitics-must be routed short and away from switching nodes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 4.6 mΩ max - Enables efficient operation directly from 5 V logic-level gate drivers in compact VRMs |
| Fully characterized avalanche | 89 mJ EAS - Eliminates need for external snubbers in non-isolated DC-DC converters subjected to load dump or inductive kick |
| Low Qgd/Qgs1 ratio | 7.2 nC / 6.4 nC ≈ 1.13 - Reduces susceptibility to dv/dt-induced false turn-on in high-side synchronous FET applications |
| Optimized body diode | Qrr = 13–19 nC - Minimizes recovery-related shoot-through loss when used as low-side switch in synchronous buck |
Applications
| Server CPU Voltage Regulator | Telecom Isolated DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 4-phase 12 V input → 0.8–1.8 V output VRM supplying modern x86 processors with dynamic current up to 200 A. IC Role / Device Role: Low-side synchronous rectifier MOSFET in each phase leg, operating at 300–600 kHz switching frequency.

IC Role / Device Role: High-current secondary-side switch replacing Schottky diodes, driven by transformer-coupled gate signals. Use Value: 120 A continuous rating and 1.69 °C/W RθJC allow direct heatsink mounting, enabling >94% efficiency at 50 A output without forced air cooling. |
| Industrial Motor Drive Inverter | Automotive ADAS Power Supply |
Use Scenario: Half-bridge high-side switch in 24 V BLDC motor gate driver stage for HVAC blowers and pumps. IC Role / Device Role: N-channel high-side switch with bootstrap gate drive, handling 30 A peak phase current at 20 kHz PWM. Use Value: 20 V VDS rating provides 2× margin over 12 V nominal bus; 22 ns trr prevents shoot-through during rapid polarity reversal. | Use Scenario: Input-stage hot-swap and reverse-polarity protection in 12 V automotive camera module power supply. IC Role / Device Role: Low-RDS(on) N-channel MOSFET configured as ideal diode in series with battery input.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR3714TRPBF | Higher RDS(on) (5.0 mΩ @ 10 V), same 20 V rating and D-Pak package | Suitable for lower-current (<80 A) VRMs where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency gain | Select when thermal budget allows higher conduction loss and gate drive capability is limited to <15 nC |
| SI7850DP-T1-GE3 | Lower Qg (15 nC) but higher RDS(on) (5.2 mΩ); SO-8 package with no exposed drain pad | Better suited for space-constrained consumer DC-DC where PCB area is prioritized over thermal performance | Choose only if board layout cannot accommodate D-Pak footprint and junction temperature must stay <125°C |
Compared with IRLR3717TRPBF, the IRLR3714TRPBF trades 25% higher conduction loss for lower gate charge, while the SI7850DP sacrifices thermal performance and current rating for smaller footprint-neither offers identical combination of 120 A rating, 4.0 mΩ, and D-Pak thermal interface.

FAQ
Is IRLR3717TRPBF lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes, IRLR3717TRPBF is lead-free and RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The "PbF" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes lead-free packaging. All plating, die attach, and molding compounds meet JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 handling requirements for reflow soldering.
What is the maximum safe operating frequency for IRLR3717TRPBF in a synchronous buck converter?
IRLR3717TRPBF supports reliable operation up to 1 MHz in synchronous buck topologies when paired with appropriate gate drivers and PCB layout. Its 21 nC Qg, 9.1 nC Qsw, and 1.69 °C/W RθJC enable efficient switching at 500–800 kHz in high-density VRMs, provided gate drive strength exceeds 1 A peak and thermal vias under the drain pad are implemented.
Can IRLR3717TRPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes, IRLR3717TRPBF supports paralleling due to its negative VGS(th) temperature coefficient (−6.4 mV/°C), which promotes current sharing across multiple devices. For stable operation, use matched gate resistors (≤1 Ω), symmetrical PCB traces, and shared source Kelvin sensing to avoid oscillation or thermal runaway under transient loads.
Does IRLR3717TRPBF require a gate resistor for EMI suppression?
A gate resistor (typically 2.2–10 Ω) is recommended between driver output and gate terminal to dampen ringing caused by gate-drain capacitance (Crss = 420 pF) and PCB inductance. This improves EMI performance and prevents spurious turn-on during high dv/dt events, especially in high-side configurations where drain voltage swings from 0 V to 12 V rapidly.
