Product details
Overview
IRLU8721-701PBF from Infineon Technologies is an N-channel enhancement-mode HEXFET Power MOSFET in I-Pak package, rated for 30V VDS, 6.3 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 10 V, and 8.5 nC total gate charge. It delivers high-frequency switching performance in synchronous buck converters for CPU power delivery and telecom DC-DC modules with synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the IRLU8721-701PBF datasheet, IRLU8721-701PBF pinout, IRLU8721-701PBF application, or IRLU8721-701PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low RDS(on) at 4.5 V gate drive, fully characterized avalanche capability, ultra-low gate impedance, and body diode reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 24–36 nC) for hard-switched topologies.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs a trench-gate silicon process optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching. Its gate threshold voltage (VGS(th) = 1.35–2.35 V) enables robust 4.5 V logic-level drive compatibility, while its 3.4 nC Qgd and 4.6 nC Qsw support high-frequency operation up to several MHz in resonant and synchronous rectifier circuits.
The device integrates a monolithic body diode with 17–26 ns trr and 24–36 nC Qrr, enabling reliable unclamped inductive switching. Thermal design is supported by RθJC = 2.3 °C/W and RθJA = 50 °C/W (PCB mount), allowing sustained 65 A continuous drain current at TC = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDS | 30 V - Maximum blocking voltage compatible with 24 V input rails and transient margin in telecom/industrial DC-DC stages. |
| RDS(on) max | 8.4 mΩ @ VGS = 10 V - Enables <1 W conduction loss at 30 A, critical for high-efficiency processor VRMs. |
| Qg | 8.5 nC - Low gate charge reduces driver power and enables efficient 1–2 MHz switching in synchronous buck converters. |
| tr/tf | 30 ns / 6.5 ns - Fast edge rates minimize switching transition losses and EMI generation in high-density power modules. |
| EAS | 93 mJ - Fully characterized single-pulse avalanche energy supports robustness against inductive turn-off transients without external snubbers. |
| Qrr | 24–36 nC - Low reverse recovery charge reduces diode conduction loss and cross-conduction risk in synchronous rectification. |
| RθJC | 2.3 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting for thermal management in high-power density applications like server VRMs. |
Pinout & Package
IRLU8721-701PBF uses the industry-standard I-Pak (TO-251AA) surface-mount package with gull-wing leads. The exposed drain pad on the bottom provides low-inductance, high-current path and enhanced thermal transfer to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G (Gate) | Control terminal | Accepts 0–10 V logic-level signals; 2.3 Ω gate resistance minimizes ringing and simplifies driver design. |
| D (Drain) | High-side switch node | Internally connected to exposed metal tab; must be routed to high-current, low-inductance plane for optimal EMI and thermal performance. |
| S (Source) | Reference node / return path | Provides common reference for gate drive and current sensing; ties directly to power ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RDS(on) at 4.5 V | Enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers and PWM controllers without level-shifting or gate drivers. |
| Fully characterized avalanche | Guarantees safe operation under unclamped inductive switching (EAS = 93 mJ), eliminating need for external clamping components. |
| Low Qgd/Qsw ratio | 3.4 nC Qgd and 4.6 nC Qsw improve Miller immunity and enable stable hard-switching up to 2 MHz. |
| Optimized body diode | 17–26 ns trr and low Qrr reduce reverse recovery loss and prevent shoot-through in synchronous rectifier configurations. |
Applications
| Server CPU Voltage Regulator Modules | Telecom Isolated DC-DC Converters |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRLR8721PbF | D-Pak package; identical electrical specs (30 V, 6.3 mΩ, 8.5 nC), but higher RθJA (110 °C/W vs. 50 °C/W). | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or lower-power PCBs where thermal via density is limited. | Select when board layout lacks thermal vias or requires manual assembly compatibility. |
| SI2302DS-T1-GE3 | Smaller SOT-23 package; lower current rating (2.4 A continuous), higher RDS(on) (65 mΩ), and no avalanche rating. | Limited to low-power always-on loads (e.g., sensor bias, LED indicators) - not suitable for switching power stages. | Choose only for space-constrained, sub-1 W applications where avalanche robustness is unnecessary. |
Compared with IRLR8721PbF, the IRLU8721-701PBF offers superior thermal performance in surface-mount designs due to its I-Pak package's lower RθJA; versus SI2302DS-T1-GE3, it delivers 27× lower RDS(on) and full avalanche ruggedness-making it the only viable option for high-current, high-reliability power conversion.

FAQ
Is IRLU8721-701PBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. IRLU8721-701PBF carries the "PbF" suffix per Infineon's part numbering convention, confirming full compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 3 moisture sensitivity. It contains no lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits.
What is the maximum continuous drain current at 100°C case temperature?
Per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table, IRLU8721-701PBF supports 46 A continuous drain current at TC = 100°C and VGS = 10 V. This derating reflects thermal limits-not electrical failure-and assumes adequate PCB copper area and thermal vias per Infineon's recommended footprint.
Does this MOSFET require a gate resistor for stability?
A gate resistor (typically 1–10 Ω) is recommended to dampen parasitic oscillation caused by PCB trace inductance interacting with the device's 2.3 Ω intrinsic gate resistance and 1030 pF Ciss. Without it, ringing on VGS can cause false turn-on or increased switching loss, especially at >500 kHz.
Can IRLU8721-701PBF replace IRLR8721PbF in existing D-Pak layouts?
No. IRLU8721-701PBF uses the I-Pak (TO-251AA) package with gull-wing leads and a different land pattern than the D-Pak (TO-252AA) IRLR8721PbF. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign to accommodate the smaller body size, different lead pitch, and exposed drain pad orientation.
