Product details
Overview
IRLR4343PBF from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is an N-channel enhancement-mode power MOSFET in I-Pak package, optimized for Class-D audio amplifier output stages. It delivers 55 V VDS, 42 mΩ RDS(on) @ 10 V VGS, 28 nC total gate charge, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and repetitive avalanche capability - enabling high-efficiency, low-THD, low-EMI switching in compact audio amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR4343PBF datasheet, IRLR4343PBF pinout, IRLR4343PBF application, or IRLR4343PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low Qg/Qsw for fast switching, low Qrr for clean body-diode recovery, and rugged 175 °C thermal rating - all critical for reliable Class-D half-bridge operation under dynamic load and thermal stress.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced planar HEXFET® process technology to minimize on-resistance per die area while precisely tuning gate charge distribution (Qgs = 3.5 nC, Qgd = 9.5 nC) and reverse recovery characteristics (Qrr = 100–150 nC, trr = 52–78 ns). Its internal source/drain inductance (LS = 7.5 nH, LD = 4.5 nH) is characterized for accurate high-frequency switching modeling.
The device supports unclamped inductive switching with validated repetitive avalanche energy (EAR = 160 mJ at TJ = 25 °C), and its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5 V, tempco = −4.4 mV/°C) ensures stable turn-on across automotive and industrial temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 55 V - supports rail voltages up to ±27 V in bridged Class-D topologies without breakdown risk |
| RDS(on) @ 10 V | 42 mΩ typ. - enables <1 W conduction loss at 5 A output current in 4 Ω load applications |
| Qg | 28 nC typ. - reduces gate drive power and allows use of lower-current gate drivers (e.g., TC4427) |
| Qrr | 100–150 nC - minimizes body-diode commutation loss and EMI during zero-voltage switching transitions |
| TJ(max) | 175 °C - permits sustained operation in sealed enclosures or high ambient environments without derating |
| tr/tf | 19 ns / 5.3 ns - supports >500 kHz PWM frequencies with minimal dead-time distortion |
| Ciss/Coss | 740 pF / 150 pF - enables predictable Miller-effect timing and snubberless layout in half-bridge configurations |
Pinout & Package
I-Pak (TO-251AA) package: 3-pin surface-mount variant with isolated tab (drain-connected), standard leadform for PCB mounting and thermal relief via copper pour under tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Lead) | Gate (G) | High-impedance control input; requires <2.5 Ω series resistance to suppress ringing in fast-switching audio paths |
| Pin 2 (Lead) | Drain (D) | Main power path terminal; electrically connected to exposed metal tab for low-inductance heat sinking |
| Pin 3 (Lead) | Source (S) | Power return and reference node; forms low-impedance ground loop with gate driver return for stable switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Optimized Qg/Qsw ratio | Enables THD reduction below 0.01% at 1 kHz by minimizing switching transition asymmetry in complementary pairs |
| Low Qrr body diode | Reduces cross-conduction losses and audible "click" artifacts during mute/unmute and idle-state transitions |
| 175 °C rated junction | Eliminates need for external thermal shutdown circuitry in compact, fanless audio enclosures |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Withstands inductive kickback from speaker leads and PCB trace inductance without degradation over 106 cycles |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR3714PBF | Lower RDS(on) (22 mΩ @ 10 V) but higher Qg (42 nC); same 55 V rating and I-Pak package | Better conduction loss at high current, but increased gate drive demand and slower switching transitions | Select when thermal budget is constrained but gate drive capability supports higher Qg |
| STP55NF06L | 60 V rating, 11 mΩ RDS(on), TO-220 package; no specified Qrr or Class-D optimization | Higher voltage margin and lower on-resistance, but lacks low-Qrr body diode and thermal robustness for audio-specific use | Select only for non-audio DC-DC or motor control where THD and EMI are not critical |
Compared with IRLR3714PBF and STP55NF06L, the IRLR4343PBF uniquely balances low RDS(on), low Qg, and ultra-low Qrr - making it the only option among the three qualified for high-fidelity Class-D audio where THD, efficiency, and EMI co-constraint the design.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for IRLR4343PBF at 100°C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current is 39 A at TC = 100 °C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal limitation at the package level, not silicon current density, and assumes adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation.
Does IRLR4343PBF support logic-level gate drive?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) is 1.0–2.5 V, and it delivers 57 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, enabling direct drive from 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. However, full 42 mΩ performance requires 10 V gate drive.
How is the I-Pak package thermally managed in high-power audio designs?
The I-Pak's exposed drain tab must be soldered to ≥200 mm² of 2 oz copper with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to inner ground planes. Thermal resistance from junction to case is 1.9 °C/W, so 5 W dissipation yields only ~10 °C rise above PCB temperature - critical for maintaining THD stability.
Can IRLR4343PBF replace IRLU4343 in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical electrical specs and I-Pak footprint, but IRLR4343PBF uses straight leads (standard I-Pak) while IRLU4343 has gull-wing leads (surface-mount variant). Mechanical compatibility depends on PCB land pattern; thermal and electrical behavior is identical when mounted correctly.
