Product details
Overview
IRLU7843PBF from Infineon Technologies is a 30V, 12A N-channel D-Pak power MOSFET optimized for high-frequency synchronous buck converters in CPU core voltage regulation and telecom DC-DC applications. It delivers 2.6 mΩ typical RDS(on) at VGS = 4.5V, 34 nC total gate charge, and fully characterized avalanche capability (1440 mJ EAS), enabling efficient low-side switching in compact, high-efficiency power stages.
For engineers reviewing the IRLU7843PBF datasheet, IRLU7843PBF pinout, IRLU7843PBF application, or IRLU7843PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low gate impedance, body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 36–54 nC), junction-to-case thermal resistance (1.05 °C/W), and validated performance under clamped inductive switching at 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
This HEXFET device uses planar vertical DMOS technology with an integrated body diode optimized for synchronous rectification. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.4–2.3 V) enables direct drive from 3.3V/5V controllers, while the low Qgd/Qgs1 ratio minimizes Cdv/dt turn-on risk in high-dV/dt switching nodes.
The MOSFET is characterized for linear derating above 25°C case temperature (0.95 W/°C), supports pulsed drain current up to 620 A, and maintains stable RDS(on) across -55°C to +175°C operating range-critical for automotive-grade transient robustness and industrial thermal cycling.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VDSS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 24V input rails and 12V output stages without derating. |
| RDS(on) @ 4.5V | 2.6 mΩ typ - Enables <1W conduction loss at 12A RMS in 12V/100A VRM designs. |
| Qg | 34 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power and enables >1 MHz switching with standard gate drivers. |
| EAS | 1440 mJ - Single-pulse avalanche energy rating ensures reliability during load dump or short-circuit transients. |

Pinout & Package
IRLU7843PBF is housed in a surface-mount D-Pak (TO-252AA) package with exposed drain pad for thermal and electrical connection. The package features gull-wing leads and is lead-free (PbF) compliant per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Source) | Source terminal | Low-impedance return path for load current; tied to ground plane in low-side switch configuration. |
| Pin 2 (Gate) | Control input | High-impedance MOSFET gate requiring <34 nC charge for full enhancement; sensitive to ESD and dV/dt coupling. |
| Pin 3 (Drain) | Power output | Exposed metal pad connected internally to drain; must be soldered to large copper area for thermal management and current conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5V | 2.6 mΩ typ - Enables use with 3.3V/5V PWM controllers without level-shifting, reducing BOM count. |
| Fully characterized avalanche | 1440 mJ EAS - Eliminates need for external snubbers in hard-switched topologies with inductive loads. |
| Optimized body diode | Qrr = 36–54 nC, trr = 39–59 ns - Minimizes shoot-through risk and commutation losses in synchronous rectification. |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-current, multi-phase buck converter supplying CPU core voltage (0.8–1.5V @ up to 200A). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-side synchronous rectifier MOSFET in each phase leg, switching at 500 kHz–1 MHz with precise dead-time control. Use Value: 2.6 mΩ RDS(on) at 4.5V reduces conduction loss by 35% vs. legacy 5V-gate devices, improving full-load efficiency by ≥1.2%. | Use Scenario: Isolated forward or active-clamp forward converter delivering 12V/30A for base station RF modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier replacing Schottky diodes, driven by transformer-coupled gate signals. Use Value: 1440 mJ EAS withstands reflected primary-side transients; Qrr < 54 nC prevents cross-conduction during zero-voltage switching transitions. |
| Industrial PLC Power Supply | Automotive ADAS Camera Module |
Use Scenario: Non-isolated buck converter powering 5V/3A logic and analog circuitry in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary low-side switch in 200 kHz fixed-frequency regulator with overcurrent protection. Use Value: -55°C to +175°C TJ rating ensures operation in sealed enclosures; 620 A pulsed ID supports 10× overload fault clearing. | Use Scenario: Compact 12V-to-3.3V point-of-load regulator for image sensor and ISP in rear-view camera systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency synchronous buck FET operating in automotive ambient (-40°C to +105°C case). Use Value: RDS(on) drift <15% from 25°C to 125°C ensures stable efficiency across temperature; PbF compliance meets automotive RoHS requirements. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR7843PbF | Same die, I-Pak package; RθJA = 110 °C/W (vs. 50 °C/W for D-Pak); higher thermal resistance limits power density. | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or lower-power (<30W) applications where manual assembly is preferred. | Select when mechanical mounting stability outweighs thermal performance, or when existing I-Pak footprint is locked. |
| SiR872DP-T1-GE3 | 30V, 12A TrenchFET; RDS(on) = 2.9 mΩ @ 4.5V; Qg = 29 nC; no published EAS rating. | Lacks documented avalanche ruggedness; requires external clamping in inductive switching circuits. | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer applications where transient stress is controlled by system-level design. |
Compared with IRLU7843PBF, IRLR7843PbF trades thermal performance for mechanical robustness, while SiR872DP offers lower gate charge but no guaranteed avalanche capability-making IRLU7843PBF the optimal choice for unclamped inductive loads and high-reliability industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
The IRLU7843PBF supports 71 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C with VGS = 10 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area for heat spreading and accounts for linear derating beyond 25°C at 0.95 W/°C.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for safe operation in a 1 MHz buck converter?
Yes-a gate resistor (typically 2–10 Ω) is recommended to dampen ringing and limit peak gate current during fast switching. With 34 nC Qg and typical driver rise times <20 ns, uncontrolled gate drive can cause overshoot exceeding ±20 V, risking gate oxide damage or spurious turn-on.
Can the body diode be used for freewheeling in non-synchronous designs?
Yes-the intrinsic body diode is rated for 161 A continuous source current and 620 A pulsed current, with VSD ≤ 1.0 V at 12 A. However, its 39–59 ns reverse recovery time and 36–54 nC Qrr make it less efficient than Schottky diodes in high-frequency freewheeling; synchronous operation is strongly preferred.
Is the D-Pak package suitable for reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020?
Yes-the IRLU7843PBF is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D, with peak temperature tolerance of 260°C for 10 seconds. The exposed drain pad must be stencil-printed with sufficient solder paste volume (≥120% coverage) to ensure void-free thermal interface and mechanical integrity.
