Product details
Overview
IRLR8721TRPBF-1 from Infineon Technologies is a 30 V, 65 A N-channel D-Pak HEXFET Power MOSFET with 6.3 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 8.5 nC total gate charge, and 17 ns typical reverse recovery time for its integrated body diode - used in high-efficiency DC-DC synchronous rectification and motor drive half-bridge legs.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR8721TRPBF-1 datasheet, IRLR8721TRPBF-1 pinout, IRLR8721TRPBF-1 application, or IRLR8721TRPBF-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include RDS(on) at 4.5 V and 10 V, Qg, diode Qrr/trr, SOA limits at TC = 100 °C, and D-Pak thermal resistance (RθJC = 2.3 °C/W).
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in 12 V–24 V industrial and automotive power stages. Its gate threshold voltage (1.35–2.35 V) enables robust 4.5 V logic-level drive, while the 110 pF Crss and 350 pF Coss support stable operation in hard-switched buck converters up to 500 kHz.
The integrated body diode exhibits 24–36 nC Qrr and 17–26 ns trr under 20 A, 15 V, di/dt = 300 A/μs conditions - critical for minimizing commutation loss in synchronous rectifiers and H-bridge motor control where shoot-through immunity and diode softness matter.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - supports 24 V nominal bus systems with 25 % overvoltage margin |
| RDS(on) max @ VGS = 10 V | 8.4 mΩ - limits conduction loss to ≤1.1 W at 65 A continuous (TC = 25 °C) |
| Qg typical | 8.5 nC - determines gate driver current requirement (~1.7 A peak for 5 ns rise time) |
| trr typical | 17 ns - enables clean turn-on of complementary switch without excessive voltage overshoot |
| RθJC | 2.3 °C/W - allows 65 W dissipation with ≤150 °C junction rise above 25 °C case |
| ID @ TC = 100 °C | 46 A - defines usable current in thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| VGS(th) | 1.35–2.35 V - ensures reliable turn-on with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIO |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad for low thermal resistance and mechanical stability on PCB. Standard 3-pin surface-mount configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (G) | Gate | Control terminal; requires <2.3 Ω series gate resistor to limit ringing and ensure 8.5 nC charge/discharge within 10 ns |
| Pin 2 (S) | Source | Reference node for gate drive; tied to power ground plane to minimize common-source inductance |
| Pin 3 (D) | Drain | Main current path; connected to large copper pour for heat spreading and low-inductance high-side routing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive compatibility | Operates fully enhanced at VGS ≥ 4.5 V - eliminates need for gate boosters in 5 V MCU-controlled SMPS |
| Low Qgd/Qg ratio | 3.4 nC / 8.5 nC = 0.4 - improves Miller immunity and reduces risk of false turn-on during dV/dt transients |
| MSL1 moisture sensitivity | Rated for unlimited floor life before reflow - simplifies SMT line handling and inventory management |
| Rugged avalanche rating | 93 mJ single-pulse EAS at TJ = 25 °C - withstands unclamped inductive switching in motor gate drivers |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR8726PbF | RDS(on) max = 5.8 mΩ @ 10 V; Qg = 10.5 nC; same D-Pak package | Lower conduction loss but higher gate drive demand; better for <300 kHz fixed-frequency designs | Select when priority is minimizing I²R loss over switching loss and gate drive capability permits higher Qg |
| STP80NF55-08 | RDS(on) max = 8.5 mΩ @ 10 V; TO-220 package; RθJA = 60 °C/W (vs. 50 °C/W for D-Pak) | Requires heatsink for >20 A operation; not surface-mount compatible | Choose only if through-hole assembly is mandated and thermal budget allows higher ambient rise |
Compared with IRLR8726PbF and STP80NF55-08, the IRLR8721TRPBF-1 offers optimal balance of low gate charge, industry-standard D-Pak footprint, and proven 100 °C continuous operation - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-reliability 24 V embedded power stages.

FAQ
Is IRLR8721TRPBF-1 suitable for 3.3 V microcontroller gate drive?
Yes - its gate threshold voltage range (1.35–2.35 V) and guaranteed enhancement at VGS = 4.5 V make it compatible with 3.3 V logic when paired with a gate driver that provides boosted voltage or sufficient current to overcome Miller plateau. Direct 3.3 V MCU GPIO drive is marginal and not recommended for full 65 A operation.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 85 °C case temperature?
Based on linear derating from 65 A at 25 °C and 46 A at 100 °C, the maximum continuous drain current at TC = 85 °C is approximately 52 A. This assumes proper PCB copper area (≥10 cm² 2 oz Cu) and still-air convection cooling per JEDEC standards.
Does this MOSFET have avalanche energy rating, and how is it tested?
Yes - it is rated for 93 mJ single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) at TJ = 25 °C, tested per JEDEC JESD24-11 using unclamped inductive switching with L = 0.5 mH, IAS = 1.4 A, and V(BR)DSS clamping. Repetitive avalanche is not rated; design must avoid repeated unclamped events.
Can the body diode be used for freewheeling in a buck converter?
Yes - the body diode has characterized Qrr (24–36 nC) and trr (17–26 ns), enabling use in synchronous rectification. However, its forward voltage (≤1.0 V at 20 A) is higher than Schottky alternatives, so efficiency gain depends on duty cycle and switching frequency relative to conduction loss trade-off.
