Product details
Overview
IRLU3114ZPBF from Infineon Technologies is a logic-level N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET® Power MOSFET in D-Pak (TO-252) package, rated for 40 V VDSS, 4.9 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, 175°C maximum junction temperature, and 130 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C. It delivers fast switching (td(on) = 25 ns, tf = 50 ns), high repetitive avalanche capability (EAS = 500 mJ), and integrated body diode with trr = 45 ns - used in DC-DC synchronous buck converters and motor drive half-bridges.
For engineers reviewing the IRLU3114ZPBF datasheet, IRLU3114ZPBF pinout, IRLU3114ZPBF application, or IRLU3114ZPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance at 4.5 V gate drive, thermal resistance RθJC = 1.05 °C/W, unclamped inductive switching robustness, and SOA compliance up to 100 µs pulses at 175°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs advanced planar silicon processing to minimize specific on-resistance while maintaining ruggedness against repetitive avalanche events. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5 V) enables direct drive from 3.3 V and 5 V logic controllers without level-shifting circuitry.
The device integrates a low-Qrr (41 nC), fast-recovery body diode (trr = 45 ns) and exhibits low output capacitance (Coss = 650 pF at VDS = 20 V), supporting high-frequency operation in hard-switched topologies up to 500 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDSS | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage in off-state; supports 24 V nominal bus systems with 66% derating margin. |
| RDS(on) @ VGS = 10 V | 4.9 mΩ max - Enables <1.5 W conduction loss at 55 A DC, critical for high-current power stages. |
| ID @ TC = 25°C | 130 A - Silicon-limited continuous current; defines thermal design baseline for heatsink sizing. |
| RθJC | 1.05 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows precise junction temperature estimation under forced-air cooling. |
| EAS | 500 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating; validates safe operation during inductive turn-off transients. |
| tr/tf | 140 ns / 50 ns - Rise/fall times at VDD = 20 V, ID = 42 A, RG = 3.7 Ω; determines switching loss and EMI profile. |
| Qg | 56 nC max - Total gate charge; sets minimum driver peak current requirement (~1.5 A for 37 ns rise). |
Pinout & Package
IRLU3114ZPBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252) package with exposed drain pad for enhanced thermal performance. The package features three terminals: Source (S), Drain (D), and Gate (G), arranged in standard D-Pak footprint per JEDEC TO-252-2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Drain (D) | Main current-carrying terminal, connected to internal die substrate | Exposed copper pad on bottom of package; must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal conduction and low-inductance return path. |
| Source (S) | Reference node for gate drive and current return | Two pins (S1, S2) in parallel; reduces source inductance (LS = 7.5 nH) to improve switching stability and dV/dt immunity. |
| Gate (G) | Control electrode for channel formation | High-impedance input requiring low-capacitance routing; Qgd = 18 nC dominates Miller effect during switching transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level gate drive | Operates fully enhanced at VGS = 4.5 V (RDS(on) ≤ 6.5 mΩ), enabling direct interface with microcontrollers and PWM ICs. |
| Repetitive avalanche rating | Rated for repeated unclamped inductive switching up to TJ(max) = 175°C, verified per AN-1005 test methodology. |
| Low gate charge | Qg = 56 nC and Qgd/Qg ≈ 32% reduce driver power loss and improve efficiency in high-frequency SMPS. |
| Enhanced body diode | VSD = 1.3 V and Qrr = 41 nC support efficient synchronous rectification and reduce reverse recovery losses. |
| Thermal robustness | 175°C maximum junction temperature and RθJC = 1.05 °C/W allow sustained operation in compact, sealed enclosures without active cooling. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR3114ZPbF | Same die, I-Pak (TO-251) package; RθJA = 110 °C/W vs. 40 °C/W for D-Pak; no exposed drain pad. | Lower power density; unsuitable for >40 A continuous operation without forced air. | Select when through-hole mounting or legacy board layout requires TO-251 footprint. |
| STP40NF10L | 100 V VDSS, 12 mΩ RDS(on), higher gate charge (Qg = 85 nC), no specified repetitive avalanche rating. | Wider voltage margin but lower efficiency and reduced ruggedness in 24 V systems. | Select only if system requires >40 V blocking capability and can accept 2.5× higher conduction loss. |
Compared with IRLR3114ZPbF and STP40NF10L, IRLU3114ZPBF offers optimal balance of low RDS(on), fast switching, and validated avalanche robustness in surface-mount form - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-efficiency 24–48 V industrial and automotive power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRLU3114ZPBF supports 89 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects silicon-limited current derating due to thermal constraints, not package limitation, and assumes adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation.
Does this MOSFET support gate drive from a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes - its logic-level gate threshold (VGS(th) = 1.0–2.5 V) and guaranteed RDS(on) ≤ 6.5 mΩ at VGS = 4.5 V enable reliable enhancement with 3.3 V GPIO outputs. However, full 4.9 mΩ performance requires ≥10 V drive; for 3.3 V operation, expect ~12 mΩ and verify thermal margin at target load current.
What is the recommended gate resistor for 200 kHz switching in a buck converter?
A 3.7 Ω gate resistor is used in the datasheet's switching time test circuit (Fig 18a). For 200 kHz operation, a 2.2–4.7 Ω non-inductive resistor balances switching speed (tf ≈ 50 ns) and gate driver stress. Lower values increase peak gate current (>1.5 A) but reduce EMI; higher values slow switching and raise losses.
Is the body diode suitable for synchronous rectification without external Schottky?
Yes - the integrated body diode has VSD = 1.3 V and Qrr = 41 nC at TJ = 25°C, enabling efficient synchronous rectification in buck and LLC topologies up to 200 kHz. Its soft recovery characteristic (trr = 45 ns) minimizes voltage overshoot and EMI compared to standard diodes.
