Product details
Overview
IRLR8743PBF from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, designed as a synchronous rectifier or control FET in high-frequency DC-DC converters. It delivers 30V VDSS, 2.4 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5V, 39 nC total gate charge, and 640 A pulsed drain current - enabling efficient operation in computer VRMs and telecom isolated converters.
For engineers reviewing the IRLR8743PBF datasheet, IRLR8743PBF pinout, IRLR8743PBF application, or IRLR8743PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage gate drive compatibility (4.5V logic-level), ultra-low Qgd/Qgs1 ratio for Cdv/dt immunity, fully characterized avalanche energy (13.5 mJ), and junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.11°C/W for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs planar silicon process with optimized cell pitch and trench-assisted channel geometry to achieve sub-3 mΩ on-resistance at 4.5 V gate drive while maintaining robust unclamped inductive switching capability. Its gate charge profile shows 10 nC pre-threshold (Qgs1) and 13 nC gate-to-drain (Qgd) components, supporting fast, controlled turn-on/turn-off in synchronous buck topologies operating above 500 kHz.
The integrated body diode exhibits 18–27 ns reverse recovery time (trr) and 32–48 nC reverse recovery charge (Qrr) at IF = 20 A, enabling low-loss freewheeling in hard-switched converters. Thermal design is supported by validated transient impedance curves (ZthJC) and linear derating factor of 1.11 W/°C above 100°C case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 30 V - supports 12 V and 24 V input rails with margin against voltage transients |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5 V | 2.4 mΩ typ - enables <1.2 W conduction loss at 20 A RMS in VRM output stages |
| Qg | 39 nC - determines gate driver current requirement and switching loss scaling |
| Qgd | 13 nC - critical for Cdv/dt immunity; low ratio to Qgs1 suppresses false turn-on |
| EAS | 13.5 mJ - ensures reliable operation under unclamped inductive load conditions |
| RθJC | 1.11 °C/W - allows direct heatsinking to copper pour or external thermal pad for 60+ W power handling |
| trr | 18–27 ns - minimizes body diode switching loss and cross-conduction risk in synchronous rectification |
Pinout & Package
D-Pak (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection; standard 3-pin surface-mount configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate | Control terminal; accepts 0–20 V logic-level drive; requires low-impedance gate driver due to 0.85 Ω intrinsic gate resistance |
| D | Drain | Main power output node; electrically and thermally connected to exposed copper pad; ties to switching node in buck topology |
| S | Source | Power return path and reference for gate drive; connects to low-side switch source or ground plane in synchronous rectifier configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | 2.4 mΩ typ - eliminates need for gate boosting in 5 V or 3.3 V controller designs |
| Low Qgd/Qgs1 ratio | 1.3 - reduces susceptibility to parasitic turn-on during high dV/dt transitions at switching node |
| Characterized avalanche performance | 13.5 mJ single-pulse EAS - enables robustness without external snubbers in non-isolated converters |
| Fast body diode recovery | 27 ns max trr - limits reverse recovery losses and prevents shoot-through in synchronous rectifiers |
| Lead-free and RoHS-compliant | Pb-free plating and halogen-free molding compound - meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 |

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 | Higher RDS(on) (4.5 mΩ @ 4.5 V), lower Qg (29 nC), same D-Pak package | Better suited for lower-current (<40 A) applications where gate drive power is constrained | Select when prioritizing gate drive efficiency over conduction loss in space-limited designs |
| SI7850DP-T1-GE3 | Lower RDS(on) (1.8 mΩ @ 4.5 V), higher Qg (52 nC), same footprint but different pinout (G-D-S vs G-S-D) | Requires PCB layout revision; superior conduction loss but demands stronger gate driver | Choose only if board redesign is feasible and conduction loss dominates system thermal budget |
Compared with IRLR3714PBF and SI7850DP-T1-GE3, the IRLR8743PBF offers optimal balance of low RDS(on), moderate gate charge, and proven avalanche ruggedness - making it preferred for high-reliability, medium-to-high current synchronous rectification without layout changes.

FAQ
Is IRLR8743PBF suitable for 3.3 V gate drive?
No - the gate threshold voltage (VGS(th)) ranges from 1.35 V to 2.35 V, but full enhancement requires ≥4.5 V for specified RDS(on). At 3.3 V, RDS(on) rises significantly (>10 mΩ), increasing conduction loss and thermal stress. It is rated for logic-level drive at 4.5 V and above, not true 3.3 V operation.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The datasheet specifies 68 A continuous drain current (ID) at TC = 100°C and VGS = 10 V. Derating follows the linear factor of 1.11 W/°C above 100°C, and actual usable current depends on PCB copper area, airflow, and thermal interface to heatsink or ground plane.
Does IRLR8743PBF have a built-in ESD protection diode on the gate?
No - the device does not integrate gate ESD protection. The absolute maximum VGS rating is ±20 V, and gate oxide is susceptible to damage from static discharge. External gate protection (e.g., 12 V Zener clamp between gate and source) is recommended in handling and PCB layout per IRF application note AN-994.
Can IRLR8743PBF replace IRLU8743PBF in a design?
Yes - both share identical die and electrical specs, differing only in package: IRLR8743PBF uses D-Pak (TO-252) with drain-connected tab, while IRLU8743PBF uses I-Pak (TO-251) with isolated tab. Mechanical mounting and thermal path differ; PCB footprint and solder stencil must be updated, but no circuit or layout redesign is needed beyond pad adaptation.
