Product details
Overview
IRLR8259TRPBF from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 25V VDSS, 8.7mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5V, and 6.8nC total gate charge. It serves as a high-efficiency synchronous rectifier or main switch in high-frequency DC-DC converters for CPU core power delivery and telecom systems.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR8259TRPBF datasheet, IRLR8259TRPBF pinout, IRLR8259TRPBF application, or IRLR8259TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low RDS(on) at 4.5V drive, ultra-low gate impedance (2.2Ω typ), fully characterized avalanche capability (67mJ EAS), and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction in D-Pak thermal package.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted channel geometry to achieve sub-10mΩ on-resistance at logic-level gate drive. Its gate charge profile (Qgs2 = 1.1nC, Qgd = 2.4nC) supports fast switching with minimal Miller plateau duration in synchronous buck topologies.
Thermal design is enabled by low RθJC (3.15°C/W) and integrated body diode with 17ns typical reverse recovery time (trr) and 15nC Qrr, allowing efficient operation in hard-switched and resonant converter stages without external Schottky supplementation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 25V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 3.3V/5V logic-supplied gate drivers in point-of-load converters |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5V | 8.7mΩ max - Enables <1W conduction loss at 17A DC output current in 12V input buck stages |
| Qg | 6.8nC - Supports >1MHz switching with moderate gate driver strength (e.g., IR11672) |
| trr | 17ns typ - Minimizes commutation loss and voltage overshoot during synchronous rectification |
| EAS | 67mJ - Withstands single-pulse inductive energy from 200A/µs di/dt transients without failure |
| RθJC | 3.15°C/W - Allows 24W continuous dissipation with 75°C case temperature rise under PCB heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; standard 3-pin configuration: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Control electrode | Receives gate drive signal; threshold voltage 1.35–2.35V enables direct microcontroller GPIO interface |
| D | High-current drain node | Connected to PCB copper pour for heat sinking; electrically tied to exposed metal tab |
| S | Source reference terminal | Provides return path for load current; used as ground reference for gate drive in low-side configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5V | Enables use with 3.3V/5V controllers without level-shifting, reducing BOM count in compact DC-DC modules |
| Fully characterized avalanche rating | 67mJ single-pulse EAS verified per JEDEC JESD24-11, eliminating need for external snubbers in flyback or LLC primary switches |
| Low gate-to-drain charge (Qgd) | 2.4nC minimizes Miller-induced shoot-through risk and improves dv/dt immunity in high-side half-bridge layouts |
| Lead-free and RoHS compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020D reflow profile requirements up to 260°C peak, supporting automated SMT assembly |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel logic-level power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR8729PbF | Lower RDS(on) (5.2mΩ @ 4.5V), higher Qg (12.5nC), same D-Pak package | Better conduction loss but slower switching; suited for <500kHz applications where thermal margin dominates | Select when optimizing for steady-state efficiency over switching loss in fixed-frequency designs |
| SI7850DP-T1-GE3 | Higher VDSS (30V), similar RDS(on) (8.5mΩ @ 4.5V), lower Qgd (1.8nC) | Improved voltage margin for 24V industrial inputs; better dv/dt noise immunity in noisy environments | Prefer when system input may exceed 25V or EMI robustness is critical in motor-control adjacent circuits |
Compared with IRLR8259TRPBF, IRLR8729PbF trades higher gate charge for lower conduction loss, while SI7850DP-T1-GE3 offers wider voltage headroom and improved switching noise immunity-both require layout review for gate drive loop inductance due to differing Qgd profiles.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRLR8259TRPBF supports 24A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. At 4.5V gate drive, derating applies due to higher RDS(on); actual usable current depends on PCB copper area and ambient airflow, typically limited to ~17A for safe thermal operation.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for stability in high-frequency buck converters?
Yes-a 1–5Ω gate resistor is recommended to dampen ringing caused by PCB trace inductance interacting with the device's 2.2Ω intrinsic gate resistance and 900pF Ciss. Values below 1Ω increase risk of oscillation above 500kHz; values above 5Ω degrade turn-on speed and increase switching loss disproportionately.
Can IRLR8259TRPBF be used in parallel configurations?
Yes-its positive RDS(on) temperature coefficient (18mV/°C dVBR/dTJ) ensures inherent current sharing. For reliable paralleling, match gate drive loop inductance within ±0.5nH, use Kelvin source connections, and maintain identical thermal mounting for all devices to avoid thermal runaway.
Is the body diode suitable for reverse recovery in synchronous rectification?
Yes-the body diode is fully characterized with trr = 17ns (typ), Qrr = 15nC (typ), and soft recovery behavior confirmed in Fig. 7 and Fig. 15. It supports synchronous rectification up to 1MHz without external diode supplementation, provided gate drive timing avoids cross-conduction during dead-time intervals.
