Product details
Overview
IRLR8721TRPBF from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 30V VDS, 6.3 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5V, and 8.5 nC total gate charge. It serves as a high-efficiency synchronous rectifier or primary-side switch in DC-DC converters for server VRMs and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR8721TRPBF datasheet, IRLR8721TRPBF pinout, IRLR8721TRPBF application, or IRLR8721TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage gate drive compatibility (4.5V logic-level), ultra-low conduction loss at high current density, avalanche ruggedness for unclamped inductive switching, and thermal performance under PCB-mounted conditions.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for high-frequency operation up to 1 MHz in synchronous buck topologies. Its 6.3 mΩ on-resistance at 4.5V gate drive enables efficient 12V-to-1V conversion with minimal I²R loss at 20A continuous drain current.
The device features fully characterized unclamped inductive switching (UIS) capability with 93 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy and 20A rated avalanche current. Its 1030 pF input capacitance and 3.4 nC gate-to-drain charge support fast, controlled turn-on/turn-off transitions with low EMI generation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage for 12V-input power stages with margin against transients |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5V | 6.3 mΩ max - Enables ≤1.26 W conduction loss at 20A, critical for thermally constrained VRM designs |
| Qg | 8.5 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power demand and supports >500 kHz switching without excessive gate drive loss |
| ID @ TC=25°C | 65 A - Continuous current rating achievable with adequate heatsinking on 2 oz copper PCB |
| EAS | 93 mJ - Confirmed single-pulse avalanche energy ensures robustness during load dump or short-circuit events |
| RθJA (PCB mount) | 50 °C/W - Thermal resistance measured on standard JEDEC 2S2P test board, enabling accurate junction temp estimation |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal conduction to PCB copper. Standard 3-pin configuration: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate control terminal | Accepts 0–10 V logic-level drive; threshold voltage 1.35–2.35 V enables direct microcontroller interface |
| D | Drain connection | High-current output node tied to PCB thermal pad; electrically connected to package backside metal |
| S | Source reference | Common return path for load current and gate drive loop; forms low-inductance source node in synchronous rectifier layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5V | 6.3 mΩ enables <1.3 W conduction loss at 20A, reducing thermal stress in compact VRMs |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR8726PbF | RDS(on) = 4.5 mΩ @ 4.5V; higher gate charge (11.5 nC); same D-Pak package | Better conduction loss but slower switching; suited for lower-frequency, higher-current apps | Select when thermal budget dominates over switching loss, e.g., <300 kHz VRMs |
| SI7850DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 5.2 mΩ @ 4.5V; 7.8 nC Qg; PowerPAK SO-8 package | Smaller footprint but higher RθJA (62 °C/W); limited to ≤40A continuous | Choose for space-constrained designs where PCB area is premium and current <40A |
Compared with IRLR8721TRPBF, the IRLR8726PbF trades higher gate drive loss for lower conduction loss, while the SI7850DP-T1-GE3 offers smaller size at the cost of thermal derating-making the IRLR8721TRPBF optimal for balanced high-frequency, high-current, thermally managed applications.

FAQ
Is IRLR8721TRPBF suitable for 3.3V gate drive?
No. The device has a gate threshold voltage range of 1.35–2.35 V and is characterized for stable operation down to 4.5V VGS. At 3.3V, RDS(on) increases significantly (>25 mΩ), causing excessive conduction loss and thermal runaway risk. It requires minimum 4.5V logic-level drive for specified performance.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal performance?
For optimal thermal performance, Infineon recommends a minimum 400 mm² (20 mm × 20 mm) of 2 oz copper connected to the exposed drain pad via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, spaced ≤2 mm apart). This achieves the published RθJA = 50 °C/W under JEDEC 2S2P test conditions.
Does IRLR8721TRPBF have integrated ESD protection?
No. The device does not incorporate on-die ESD protection structures. External gate protection (e.g., 10 Ω series resistor + 12 V Zener clamp to source) is required during handling and PCB assembly to prevent damage from human-body-model (HBM) discharges exceeding ±2 kV.
Can it replace IRLR8721PbF in existing designs?
Yes. IRLR8721TRPBF is the tape-and-reel packaging variant of the same die and package as IRLR8721PbF (tube version). Electrical specifications, thermal characteristics, and pinout are identical; only packaging format and reel orientation differ-no design or layout changes are needed.
