Product details
Overview
IRLR8729TRPBF from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 30 V VDS, 8.9 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5 V, and 58 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It delivers ultra-low gate impedance (RG = 1.6–2.7 Ω), 10 nC total gate charge, and is optimized for high-frequency synchronous rectification in DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR8729TRPBF datasheet, IRLR8729TRPBF pinout, IRLR8729TRPBF application, or IRLR8729TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5 V logic-level gate drive compatibility, avalanche-rated ruggedness (EAS = 250 mJ), low-output capacitance (Coss = 280 pF), and thermal resistance of RθJC = 2.73 °C/W - critical for compact, high-efficiency power stages in telecom and processor VRMs.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a planar silicon HEXFET structure with fully characterized unclamped inductive switching (UIS) capability and temperature-stable threshold voltage (VGS(th) tempco = −6.2 mV/°C). Its low RDS(on) and fast switching (tr = 47 ns, tf = 10 ns) enable high-efficiency operation above 500 kHz in synchronous buck topologies.
The device integrates a robust intrinsic body diode with trr = 16–24 ns and Qrr = 19–29 nC, supporting zero-voltage switching (ZVS) transitions and minimizing commutation losses in phase-shifted full-bridge and LLC resonant converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - supports 12 V and 24 V input rails with margin for transient spikes in telecom and industrial DC-DC systems |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 4.5 V | 8.9 mΩ max - enables <1 W conduction loss at 30 A, reducing heatsink requirements in space-constrained VRMs |
| Qg | 10 nC typ - allows efficient 1–2 A gate driver sizing and minimizes switching energy loss at >1 MHz frequencies |
| tr/tf | 47 ns / 10 ns - supports clean hard-switching up to 1.5 MHz without excessive EMI or shoot-through risk |
| RθJC | 2.73 °C/W - permits direct mounting to copper planes or heatsinks for thermal management in high-power density PCBs |
| EAS | 250 mJ - withstands single-pulse inductive energy during startup/fault conditions without failure in synchronous rectifier applications |
| Coss | 280 pF - reduces capacitive turn-off loss and improves light-load efficiency in resonant topologies |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252) surface-mount package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal and electrical performance. Standard 3-pin configuration: Gate (G), Drain (D), Source (S).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Control electrode | Accepts logic-level (≥4.5 V) gate drive; low input capacitance (Ciss = 1350 pF) eases driver design |
| D | High-current drain node | Connected to exposed metal tab - must be electrically tied to output rail and thermally coupled to PCB copper pour |
| S | Source reference and return path | Serves as common reference for gate drive and current sensing; low-inductance layout critical for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Guaranteed turn-on at VGS = 4.5 V (RDS(on) ≤ 8.9 mΩ), eliminating need for level-shifting in 5 V or 3.3 V control systems |
| Fully characterized avalanche | Rated for 250 mJ single-pulse energy (EAS) - enables reliable operation under inductive load faults without external snubbers |
| Ultra-low gate impedance | RG = 1.6–2.7 Ω - suppresses gate oscillation and simplifies gate resistor selection for stable switching |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) - suitable for standard reflow processes without baking |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR8726PbF | RDS(on) = 6.7 mΩ @ 4.5 V, Qg = 12 nC, same D-Pak package | Higher conduction loss margin but slower switching due to higher gate charge | Preferred where thermal headroom is limited but switching frequency ≤300 kHz |
| SiR872DP-T1-GE3 | RDS(on) = 7.2 mΩ @ 4.5 V, Qg = 11.5 nC, same footprint, Vishay Gen. IV trench MOSFET | Lower Coss (220 pF) and improved FOM (Qg × RDS(on) = 83), but lower EAS rating (180 mJ) | Better for ultra-high-frequency designs (>1 MHz) where avalanche stress is minimal |
Compared with IRLR8729TRPBF, the IRLR8726PbF trades faster switching for lower on-resistance, while the SiR872DP-T1-GE3 offers superior high-frequency figure-of-merit but reduced ruggedness - selection depends on whether thermal, switching, or fault robustness dominates the design priority.

FAQ
Is IRLR8729TRPBF suitable for 3.3 V gate drive?
No - while it conducts at VGS = 3.3 V, its RDS(on) is not specified below 4.5 V. At 3.3 V, typical RDS(on) rises to ~15–20 mΩ, increasing conduction loss significantly. It is validated and guaranteed for stable operation only at VGS ≥ 4.5 V per datasheet Fig. 3 and absolute maximum ratings.
What is the maximum recommended PCB copper area for thermal relief?
For optimal RθJC = 2.73 °C/W, the D-Pak drain pad must be soldered to ≥400 mm² (20 mm × 20 mm) of 2 oz copper on the primary layer, with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, filled or plated) connecting to inner/ground planes. Smaller areas increase junction temperature by 15–40°C at 50 A continuous current.
Does IRLR8729TRPBF have integrated ESD protection?
No - it lacks on-chip ESD protection diodes. Gate-source breakdown is rated at ±20 V, and handling requires strict adherence to J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610 standards. External 10 kΩ gate resistors and TVS clamps are recommended in automated assembly and field-replaceable modules to prevent electrostatic damage.
Can it replace IRLR8721PbF in existing designs?
Yes - both are D-Pak N-channel MOSFETs with identical pinout and 30 V rating, but IRLR8729TRPBF has 25% lower RDS(on) (8.9 mΩ vs. 12 mΩ @ 4.5 V) and 17% lower Qg (10 nC vs. 12 nC). Layout and gate drive remain compatible; thermal design margin improves, allowing higher current or lower temperature rise in the same footprint.
